ARC Review: ‘XOXO, Summer’ by S.L. Scott

XOXO, Summer is the first installment in S.L. Scott’s The Season Sisters series, and it’s a perfect summer read. It’s such a sweet story that I had a hard time putting it down. The second I started it, I knew it would brighten my day to read Summer and Daniel’s romance. It also introduces the rest of the sisters, who will get their own books in the series, and yes, each is named after a season, which I found unique and different.

Review: ‘Delicate Escape’ by Catherine Cowles

Delicate Escape is the second book in Catherine Cowles’s Sparrow Falls series. I’m officially a fan of Catherine Cowles after only two books, this one and the first book, because both immediately pulled me in. Her emotionally driven storylines and irresistible characters make her writing and stories riveting.

Review: ‘Not My Romeo’ by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Not My Romeo is the first book in Ilsa Madden-Mills’ The Game Changers series and the first book I’ve read by this author. I’ve been meaning to read one of her books for a while, and finally made time thanks to the Romanceopoly Challenge. It was one of those reads packed with tropes, including some I love in my romance books. This book had some aspects I enjoyed and was entertaining, but it won’t be a favorite.
