Forever is the Sweetest Con
Joanna Thurlow, 2026. Four Stars. This was wicked fun, because we meet Cleo, a FMC making a dishonest living as a bartender who tends to overcharge drunk misogynists and the hopeless twits at her work. She is in debt because her former boyfriend swindled her, and she’s down bad for…

The Great Outdoors
Kayla Olson, 2026 4 Stars for the view. In the preface, Kayla Olson says this book is meant for the girls who relate to the 80’s movie Troop Beverly Hills (alongside Elle Woods of Legally Blonde) and she had me hooked. It’s a light rom com version of Wild, with…

The Shippers
Katherine Center, 2026. 4.25 Stars. This is a true romp, a quick read abundant with the rat-a-tat back and forth volleying between childhood friends that are obviously meant for each other, when they are not holding each other in headlocks. Katherine Center is straight up playing in this novel, I…

The Paris Match
Kate Clayborn, 2026. Five stars in every language. I re-read parts, I self-imposed speed bumps to not rush through this book, and I savoured every word. Griff is an incredible MMC that I’ve never seen before, which complements Layla as FMC, because we trust her as a well-composed physician who…

Once and Again
Rebecca Serle, 2026 4.5 Stars for Making Choices. This was an absolute feast of a book, with the narrating laying out almost as a suspense novel to me, with gentle notes of romance. We begin with Lauren sharing that her father died in a car accident, but he reappears at…
