Love Feud by Janine Amesta

A sweet second chance romance in these depressing times

The Love Feud by Janine Amesta

March 24, 2026 by Malin Leave a Comment

Disclaimer! This was an ARC from the author. My opinions are my own. Hailey Moreno thought it was quite exciting to be secretly dating the son of her family’s company’s chief rival, but once her father died, and said rival (with the help of his son) tried to offer to buy the Moreno’s air balloon business, she felt deeply betrayed and told Ryland Selene to take a hike. Four years later, she still hasn’t told her mother or any of her sisters that she used […]

Sometimes, scoundrels make the best partners

The Wedding Con by Janine Amesta

September 26, 2025 by Malin Leave a Comment

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 love discovering new romance authors

Love at First Flight by Janine Amesta

April 12, 2025 by Malin 3 Comments

Nowhere Books Bingo 2025: Book Dedicated to a Parent Thank you to Janine Amesta for granting me this ARC. It has not influenced my review, my opinions are my own. Thank you also, Emmalita, who tipped me off about this author. Selah Moreno’s beloved stepfather always wanted to be an airline pilot, but couldn’t become one for a number of reasons. So he flew hot air balloons instead. Selah trains to become a pilot instead, but when her father unexpectedly dies, and her mother and […]
