Alright friends here is my second part to my July reads!! Have you read any of these? What were your thoughts?

Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney – 4 Stars Alice Feeney is one of my go to thriller authors, I find her books to be a good time. Good Bad Girl was full of twists that kept me guessing. In this one we follow four different woman’s perspectives as they try to figure out how a child went missing 20 years ago is connected to a murder in a retirement home. Thank you @this_is_edelweiss and @flatiron_books for my gifted copy for review!

Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood – 4.5 Stars This is Ali Hazelwood’s first YA book and It might be one of my favorites so far! I am not typically a fan of YA but this one is set after high school so this really helps for me. I will say my one qualm with this book is that at times the main characters did not act like they were 18 and 20 years old, at times they seemed way older than this. All that to say I still really enjoyed this romance about two world champion chess players. After loving the show The Queen’s Gambit this was a fun read! This one comes out November 7th. Thank you to G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books and my work for my gifted copy to read!

Resonance Surge by Nalini Singh – 4 Stars I always love when we get a new Psy-Changeling book and this one is sooo good! If you love good paranormal/urban fantasy romance than I highly recommend this series!! It’s hard to give details about this one because it is so deep into the series and these are not stand alones. In this one we go back to the Stonewater Bear clan as well as with the Psy. I have loved the twins Yakov and Pavel since we first met them and I loved seeing their relationships come to light. Also Arwen! I really can not rave about this series enough!! Thank you  @this_is_edelweiss and @berkleyromance for my #gifted copy!

Same Time Next Summer by Annabel Monaghan – 4 Stars This one was a great summer read as it is set in small coastal town and really gives off the summer vibes! This one follows Sam as she is returning home to her small town on Long Island where she spent her summers. While there she reconnects with her first love and also her old self. I really enjoy this author’s books, about woman finding themselves as well as a happy ever after.

Hi Friends! I seem to be on a small role so here’s hoping it continues! July was a little bit better of a reading month for me, I read 8 books!! Change of Plans was probably my favorite of the month.

Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston – 4.5 Stars After loving The Dead Romantics last year I was so excited to read The Seven Year Slip!! This story follows Clementine who is struggling with loss and moves into her aunts apartment. Her aunt always told her the apartment was magic and could send people back in time. Clementine always loved this story and one day she too stepped back in time and met Iwan. I find it hard to come up with the right words for this one other than I loved it and can’t wait for more from @heyashposton!! I have some of her ya backlist that I really want to get to soon! Thank you @berkleyromance for my #gifted copy!!

Capture The Sun by Jessie Mihalik – 3.5 rounded up to a 4 – Jessie Mihalik is one of my favorite sci-fi romance authors! I always enjoy her books because you get as much romance as you do plot outside of the romance. Capture The Sun is book 3 in a series that follows a group of individuals who are trying to stop an intergalactic war. Technically this can be read as a stand alone but with all the plot points happening it is best to read in order. Thank you @bibliolifestyle and @harpervoyagerus for my #gifted copy for review!

Change of Plans by Dylan Newton – 5 Stars This is the third one in the series that follows a group of friends and three brothers who live in a small town. In this story we have Bryce who after a tragic accident is left as the main caregiver for her three nieces. While out grocery shopping she meets Ryker, the grumpy Matthew’s brother and probably my favorite. This was such a cute and fun story about not only Bryce and Ryker but also with Bryce and her three nieces. I loved this one so much and highly recommend it!!! Thank you Forever and Netgalley for my gifted copy!

Before She Finds Me by Heather Chavez – 4 Stars Thank you  @mulhollandbooks,  @this_is_edelweiss and @librofm for my #gifted copies! It took me a little a while to get through this one but that was only because of my slow reading this year! This was a fun cat and mouse type thriller and each chapter gave you a little bit more of the puzzle. I also loved the dual narration, one from a mom who saved her daughter from a shooting on campus and the second from a contract killer. Highly recommend this one!!

Well another month has passed without me posting. I was really hoping August was going to be a better month for me but apparently not. I am going to try again in September and hopefully I have better results! So here is a really late May round up and because it was so long ago they may be short and sweet revies!

The Last Word by Katy Birchall – 4 Stars This is my third book by Katy Birchall and I think it is my favorite! While usually not a fan of second chance romances this one just really hit the spot! We follow reporters Harper and Ryan as the deal with trying to work together as well as ignore the tension they have had for the last decade.While the beginning was a little slow the book soon picked up and I couldn’t put it down! Thank you @smpromance for my #gifted copy for review!

The Boyfriend Candidate by Ashley Winstead – 5 Stars This one is a follow up to Ashley’s debut romance last year but the good news is that they don’t need to be read in order. I was surprised to like these as much as I did because I am really not a fan of politics but there is just something about her writing that makes these books so easy to binge. Highly recommend this one if you are a fan of fake dating and actual rom coms! Thank you Edelweiss and Graydon House for my gifted copy!

Falling Hard For The Royal Guard by Megan Clawson – 4 Stars I don’t remember a lot of details about this one other than it takes place in London and follows a woman who had a bad break up and then falls for a Royal Guard. While the details are fuzzy I can say that the feelings it still gives me is happiness and enjoyment. I remember really liking it and laughing out loud a few times. This is one that I will probably re-read in the near future.

The Blighted Stars by Megan E. O’Keefe – Stars I am a sucker for space operas with a lot of romance! This one was really fun, we had planet exploration, bodyguard romances, hidden identities and great world building. If you enjoy fun romances and politics in Space then this one might be for you. Also book 2 comes out later this month (September). Thank you Orbit and Edelweiss for my gifted copy for review.

Once More With Feeling by Elissa Sussman – 4 Stars After loving Funny You Should Ask I was so excited for this one!! I really enjoyed this one just as much as the first plus all the musical references is great! Thank you @penguinrandomhouse and @this_is_edelweiss for my #gifted copy for review!!
