Waking Up Married

“Oops, we got married in Vegas” – a thoughtfully explored friends-to-lovers romance

Waking Up Married by Reese Ryan

April 14, 2021 by llamareadsbooks 2 Comments

Reese Ryan is slowly becoming one of my new favorite authors. I love her characters, their banter, and their amazing chemistry. And this best-friends-to-lovers and fake-marriage book is no different! While I’ve previously read the second book in this series, I haven’t read most of the others, and found it relatively easy to read this as a standalone. “How did you two meet?” Brigitta asked, smiling at them the way people often smiled at newlyweds. Zora felt guilty for evoking such genuine emotions when their […]

Love at First

A gorgeous exploration of family, grief and love

Love at First by Kate Clayborn

April 11, 2021 by llamareadsbooks 3 Comments

Kate Clayborn’s spectacular Love Lettering was the first book I read in 2020. Now, while the rest of the year didn’t work out so well, I can’t deny that it was an amazing reading year for me, and now Love at First looks like it’s continuing that tradition. I am an absolute sucker for a found family story, and this is an expert exploration of that trope and its power. It’s also got a bit of a Romeo & Juliet feel, and since that’s literally […]

Best Laid Plans

Lower animal content, higher angst for this sequel

Best Laid Plans by Roan Parrish

April 10, 2021 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I was intensely curious about Jack’s brother Charlie after reading Better Than People, so I was very pleased to see that this book would be about him. Alas, the animal content of this book isn’t quite as high as the previous one in the series – only two cats. But gosh, Jane and Marmot are pretty amazing cats. When Rye inherits a house from a grandfather he never met, it seems too good to be true. But given he’s been couchsurfing in Seattle, he makes […]

Break on Through to the Other Side

Now You See Her by Linda Howard

April 10, 2021 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

Linda Howard was one of my top go-to romance authors for a long time, but somewhere along my reading journey she fell to the wayside. I was going through my Kindle library and came across Now You See Her which was originally published in 1998. I decided to do a re-read to see if it held up better than some of Howard’s other books like Mr. Perfect, which I used to love but have since come to realize is very problematic. The answer is maybe? Now You See Her […]
