![]() Pact: To Love and To Loathe by Martha Waters I mean… Talia is everything? The Brown Sisters are the best? I have loved all three of these books so much, as you can see in my series review. Makes You Laugh: Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert I’m very much looking forward to a sequel. This estranged friends to lovers sort of second chance romance was remarkably fun and I loved it tremendously. ![]() Set in Continental Europe: A Rogue to Remember by Emily Sullivan If you would like thoughts beyond “Wesley is the best” and I love him, might I direct you to my ARC Review? Spring Cleaning: Twice Shy by Sarah HogleĪs y’all may know, I am in love with Wesley and he is the best and most soft hero and I love him. This is the first in the series and the family by choice element of the plot really resonated for me and I loved Mick and Aslyn. This book more or less started a full on deep dive into Lorraine Heath for me as I pretty much devoured the entire Sins for All Seasons series after reading this one. Secrets: Beyond Scandal and Desire by Lorraine Heath Once I got into the book though, I wound up finding the characters incredibly compelling and I was really invested in their well-being and the romance. I will say that I struggled with the world in this book and getting a grasp of it, but that could be for any number of reasons. Map/Diagram: Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri ![]()

Since completing The Martian, Weir has kept his eyes trained on worlds beyond ours. In no time, The Martian was a bestseller, and on its way to becoming a massively popular movie. After creating weekly blog posts to share his work, thousands of his fans requested he publish it on Amazon - and the rest, as they say, is history.
