2026 Book 47 (back on track since I can’t count) Dom-Com by Adriana Anders

It was a cute, sexy, quick read. Rae has spent her life taking care of her siblings and her father (after her mom died when she was young, because it seems like every romance lately has a least one tragic upbringing). After breaking up with her boyfriend she decides she wants to shake things up, and goes to a kink club to be a sub for a dom. There she meets gruff Grant, who isn’t looking for an inexperienced sub, but jumps in because he’s drawn to Rae. 

They are both surprised to find out they will be working together, as Grant was hired as a consultant at Rae’s company. Grant is neighbors and friend with Rae’s boss, so he gets hired to try to root out the cause of a security breach at the company. Rae says yes to everyone, and Grant teaches her to have more of a backbone. She makes tiny book nooks in her spare time. The boss’ son-in-law is the bad guy, because he wants to take over the company. The book was mostly fluff, but the dialogue was cute.

Book 63 - Book Boyfriend by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka

Jennifer and Scott are work rivals at a publishing company. He scoffs at her favorite fantasy series, so she’s shocked to see him at a week-long fantasy immersion vacation. Enemies to lovers, always fun.  I love this duo’s writing style, like the line about Princess Bride-ing it down a hill and other clever turns of phrases. I’ll read whatever they write just for that. I liked how they incorporated the fantasy world, Elytheum, into the story, even if it was a bit over-the-top and unrealistic. I’m not a big fantasy reader, and I wasn’t sure what a fae is (Google confirms my thought that it’s like a fairy), but I could appreciate how ingrained the series is into Jennifer’s life.  I liked Jennifer and Scott’s interactions, for the most part. I think the biggest flaw is that the only thing really keeping the characters apart is their suspicion and fear. Which got a little repetitive. And Jennifer’s self reflections got a bit tedious for me. All in all it was a cute read. I liked t...

Book 69 - Business Casual by B.K. Borison

This wasn’t my favorite B.K. Borison book, but it was still cute, and an easy, quick read. I’ve only read the first book in the Lovelight series, so this one is out of order for me. I’d still read book 2 and 3 if they become available. Nova is a tattoo artist who feels like she has to do everything perfectly to make her family proud. Charlie is an investment banker who lives 3-4 hours away, but goes to the farm to see his step-sister (Stella, from the first book), and to recharge. It starts as a casual hook up for them, but then moves to business casual, then to more serious. But Charlie has always felt like he doesn’t quite belong anywhere, and he fears he’s overstaying his welcome if he’s not helping to fix something. And Nova’s always been very independent and never wanted a serious partner. There’s not much more to the book. (7.5)

Book 71 - The Hook Up by Kristen Callahan

The book was fine. A sexy sporty book. Maybe a little long for the somewhat simplistic plot. I wasn’t impressed initially and found the insta-lust a turn off, but once the two characters got to know each other, and me them, it grew on me. One of my pet peeves is when the narrator directly tells the reader things are about to get worse, instead of just letting the story unfold, and the author does that a couple times in this book. It always feels lazy to me. Anna Jones was the chubby, invisible girl in high school, and finally feels like she’s hit her stride in college. But her old insecurities still pop up at unexpected times. Drew Baylor is the star quarterback of their school, and a soon-to-be rising star of the NFL. They meet in class and instantly want to jump each other’s bones. But Anna doesn’t want the attention she’d face if she dated the most popular guy on campus. So they hook up, and she tries to keep him at a distance. That goes on for what feels like a lot of pages, until ...
