3.5 stars Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for this ARC. My opinions are my own. This book will be out on April 9th. Daisy Emmett is an excellent PR manager and has successfully managed a number of difficult clients, but trying to repair the image of famous romance author Caleb Miller, after he very publicly declared to the world that “happy endings are for fools”, might be her most difficult job yet. Their mutual dislike of one another started when they were […]

Thank you to Janine Amesta and Tule Publishing for this ARC. My opinions are my own. This is the second book in the Love is in the Air series, but this book can be read as a standalone as well. If you prefer to start at the beginning, the first one is Love at First Flight (which I literally, just NOW, as I was writing this, realised is a pun on “love at first sight”. Now I feel stupid.) Naomi Moreno wants to help her stubborn and independent older […]

I read this book back in February, sorry for the rather lacklustre review

Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik

Hello, welcome back to Malin reviews things she read several months ago, in this case – FIVE whole months. Let’s start off with the official book description: Octavia Zarola would do anything to keep her tiny, close-knit bounty hunting crew together—even if it means accepting a job from Torran Fletcher, a ruthless former general and her sworn enemy. When Torran offers her enough credits to not only keep her crew afloat but also hire someone to fix her ship, Tavi knows that she can’t refuse—no […]
