My Italian Vampire
B.C. Dolce, 2026. 4.25 stars. Betty Corrello is in my top five authors, so I was extremely jazzed for her to go into the monster f**king genre, and this gives me the big strokes that she really excels at crafting: A female main character who is fearless but lonely (with…

Loon Point
Carrie Classon, 2026 5 Stars This book is quietly beautiful. From the beginning when we meet our four characters and a withering dog, we are not sure where they will interact and what types of relationships they will build together. We see that Norry and Bud are caregivers and Lizzie…

Epicenter of Forever
Mara Williams, 2026. 4.5 Stars. I devoured this in one sitting because it felt very real, very emotional and rooted in 30-something adult behaviour, my favourite sub-genre of romance. Mara Williams is a new author to me, but I was drawn into the story on the first page because we…

Next Level Love
Shameez Patel, 2026 3.5 Stars for Nostalgic Play The premise and setting of this story are pure jellybeans and cinnamon candies – bite-sized, munchy, and bingeable. Lincoln is a grumpy engineering god, a singular talent who builds freeway structures and holds high standards for urban planning. In real life, he…

Most Eligible
Isabelle Engel, 2026 3.5 Stars In the beginning, this book was delicious. It was chardonnay with an ice cube, starburst red and pink candies, and freshly laundered Roots sweatpants. For this, I recommend fans of dating shows read Most Eligible and have themselves a pj party watching her try to…

Western Heat
Caroline Richardson, 2026 This was a solid 4 star cowboy romance that focused intensely on the family saga, the relationship between the brothers, and the real conflicts of learning to run a ranch. I highly recommend this book and anticipate it will become a three-book series because it lays groundwork…

Love and Other Brain Experiments
Hannah Brohm, 2026 4.5 Stars for Overachieving This is the STEM-iest of STEM novels and I ate it up. It’s a must-read, must-own for any fans of STEM storylines and romance. Hannah Brohm hits the beats of a rom com: fake dating, exes in the workplace, slow burn enemies to…

Role Model
Rachel Reid, 2021. Five Stars. This is a book about believing sexual assault victims and unpacking identity. This is a book where a professional hockey star on the first page is traded to Ottawa, one of the worst teams in the league, because he was caught on tape calling his…

Just Add Happiness
Julie Hatcher, 2025 4.25 Stars for Independence and Pasta This book was inspiring and swoony and uplifting, and I highly recommend reading in a book club setting with other women to talk through the themes and reactions, preferably over cake. Julie Hatcher sets up the plot perfectly in the first…

Migrations
Charlotte McConaghy, 2020 Five Stars, no decay. I’ve read her work in reverse order (third, second, this) and I’ve stepped closer and closer to each one, finding myself almost inside of the work. McConaghy is fascinated with her female heroines going wild, untethering from society and drawing closer to nature…
