Something Wilder by Christina Lauren

People have been comparing this story to Indiana Jones’s. Well, for me, this isn’t certainly a classic Christina Lauren’s rom-com. There’s too little of rom, and zero com. But, if you like a thriller with a brush of love, you might enjoy Lily “Jones” Wilder hunt. Read full review below :)

Book Lovers by Emily Henry

What can I say? When Emily Henry writes a book involving the literary world—characters who love books or are writers/editor/agents—, she just hits the mark EVERY SINGLE TIME! Let me tell you, I wasn’t a fan at all of “People We Meet on Vacation.” However, “Beach

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

Beach Read is one of my favorite romantic novels. However, to equal or top it is a difficult job, and unfortunately for me, People We Meet on Vacation didn't do it. Let's start with the title. Does it have to do with this amazing passage from the prologue? "Like a

Strict Confidence (Rochester Trilogy #2) by Skye Warren

I’m a fan of Skye Warren. I first got into her work with the North brothers series. I have to admit that the age gap between her main characters—which seems to be a personal trademark as a writer—surprised me at the beginning. It wasn’t exactly the
