Book Review: The Deal by Elle Kennedy

 Elle Kennedy’s The Deal is a fun, fast-paced college romance that balances humor, heat, and heart with ease. As the first book in the Off-Campus series, it sets the tone for an addictive series filled with swoon-worthy hockey players and smart, relatable heroines. The story follows Hannah Wells, a music major who’s recovering from a traumatic experience, and Garrett Graham, a cocky and charming hockey team captain struggling to maintain his grades. When Garrett realizes he needs a tutor, he strikes a deal with Hannah: she helps him pass his class, and he’ll help her catch the eye of her crush. What begins as a simple arrangement quickly turns into a passionate, whirlwind romance neither of them saw coming. This book wastes no time diving into the chemistry between its leads. Garrett is a standout hero—his confidence and wit make him impossible to resist, and his surprisingly tender side adds depth to his character. Hannah, on the other hand, is a refreshing blend of strength, vu...

Book Review: How My Neighbor Stole Christmas by Meghan Quinn

 When it comes to holiday rom-coms, Meghan Quinn knows how to deliver. Her book, How My Neighbor Stole Christmas , is packed with laugh-out-loud moments, quirky characters, and just the right amount of holiday spice. However, I’ll be honest—it didn’t grab me right away.

But let me tell you, once it did, it was so worth it!The banter between the main characters is top-notch, and the festive chaos of their lives adds an extra layer of fun. Quinn’s ability to create chemistry and comedy shines through, making the latter half of the book impossible to put down. Why You Should Read It If you’re a fan of romantic comedies with a holiday twist, How My Neighbor Stole Christmas is a must-read. Yes, it takes a little patience to get through the slow start, but the payoff ...

Book Review: Christmas in Coconut Creek by Karissa Kinword 🎄

 If you're in a reading slump, I’ve found the cure! Christmas in Coconut Creek by Karissa Kinword is the perfect holiday romance to get you back into the reading spirit. This book brought me out of my slump with its cozy Christmas vibes, steamy undertones, and—let’s be honest—the allure of a swoon-worthy older man! Who can resist?
