Complex, neurodivergent, ambitious protagonists who are not cured by love. Plot: Hollyn is a writer for a New Orleans newspaper.  She loves writing (and anonymously at that) because it allows her to express herself without fear that her Tourettes will distract people from her words. Jasper was all over the place until he started getting along with his ADHD when his discovered improv, but that doesn’t pay the bills, especially in New Orleans where the industry is nascent but Jasper is determined to make it […]

“A happy ending is the one that makes you happy”

For You & No One Else by Roni Loren

I’ve been a huge fan of Roni Loren’s work ever since I read The Ones Who Got Away as my first book of 2018. The emotional depth, the mental health, the banter, it’s basically everything I want in a romance. And that’s exactly what you can expect from this workplace friends-to-friends-with-benefits-to-lovers romance! Eliza may come off on social media as a therapist who’s completely got her life together, but in real life, she’s frustrated with the dating scene, though she keeps hoping each new first […]

New Series: The first book in the series came out March 2021 Grumpy/sunshine is a favorite trope of mine, so I was very excited to read this newest book by Roni Loren, and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s also a fascinating take on that trope: while Andi is extroverted and optimistic, she’s not without her own troubles, and I loved how in some ways she’s less sunshine-y than her “grumpy werewolf” neighbor. This is the second in the series but can easily be read as a standalone.

Yes & I Love You by Roni Loren

While I absolutely adored Roni Loren’s last series, given the cover of this book, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Considering that series was about the survivors of a school shooting, pretty much anything would be fluffier, but I was hoping it wouldn’t lose the heat level or angst. And while I was pleasantly surprised by how much of a rom-com it is, all the things I love about her books are still here. Hollyn is desperate to prove that she can survive on […]

Love stories and survivor guilt make for a surprising good read

Apologies I could only find an image with two of the three books in it!  This series of books has been written/released pretty quickly.   First in January 2018, the second in July 2018, the third was released on January 1, 2019 so you don’t have a long wait between books in the series like you do with some authors.  Unfortunately the 4th and probably final book in the series is not slated to be published until December 31, 2019. TRIGGER WARNING here for gun violence, […]
