But while she’s still in high school, she and her best friend Miguel are each other’s beard, especially after Miguel had been blackmailed, to make sure if the blackmailer tried to out […]

by 2 Comments

This book perfectly speaks to messy teenage romance and feelings, and navigating friendship and romance, especially when the person you think you like is also your best friend. Maggie is such a fantastic protagonist, and I loved being a part of her journey of figuring out who she likes and wants to take to her sister’s Quince. Maggie’s younger sister is getting ready for her quinceñera and as one of her damas, Maggie needs to figure out who she wants to take as her date. […]

Starting college is the perfect chance to reinvent yourself, or at least that’s what Molly and Alex hope. After a bad start at a party, Alex realizes Molly is exactly what she needs. She’ll create a five step plan for Molly to get […]

Love In Plaid

The Devil Wears Tartan by Katia Rose

by 4 Comments

TikTok got me on this one. I found myself watching a video where the author promoted her new romance novel where two women from rival highland dance schools hate each other and then…really don’t. I ordered it immediately. It was delightful. Moira is still reeling from a breakup that happened some time ago where her ex-girlfriend called her boring, something she really took to heart. All she really wants is to keep teaching at her family’s dance school, but she feels like she’s supposed to […]
