diary of a wannabe writer

This book is seriously the cutest! Hannah is not a people person. She also has trouble with having low self-esteem. But when she walks in on her boyfriend, she finds a bit of her inner strength and drops him on the spot. Since he was also her mentor, she lost her spot as a researcher and her relationship all in one go. Since then she has moved on, and back home, and works as a veterinarian in a small clinic. There is where her lack of people skills comes to bite her in the ass. :) After running into her old classmate and a crush, she decides to make him help her. They have a scorching hot chemistry from the get-go, but their issues are keeping them apart. The story can be a bit frustrating at parts because you just want them to be happy, but the ending makes up for it. :) It's cute and full of swoon-worthy moments. It's a slow-burn, sunshine/grump romance set in a small town, that you can't help but love. :) rating ❤❤❤❤❤ cover ❤❤❤❤ Goodreads  ||  Amazon happy reading, anie

rating ❤❤❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ Kiss and Make Love is a collection of ten short stories, that all varied in length and amount of spice.  The first one and the last one are connected, in a way, the rest can stand on their own. The first one happens after a one-night stand, when she wants to leave, like many times before, but something makes her stay, and the last one is a similar situation, but many years after. This was my favorite part of the book. It didn't go where I thought it would and ended up being so romantic... How one little choice can change the entire course of your life...  Two stories I especially loved, were the one with speed dating-it was seriously the cutest, and the one with football players from the opposing teams, with incredible chemistry. It was sizzling! Each story is very different, in genre, tropes, and spice. At times the writing could use a bit more work, especially in developing the romance. But regardless of that, I read the whole collection in one go,...

They are by no means perfect, there are a lot of elements that usually turn me off from reading, but in these, I just can't help myself. :) It's one of those series, that once you start reading, you must read 'em all.  The Duke and I follows the story of Daphne, the eldest daughter of the Brigerton family, as she navigates her second season, still single, still without love, and Simon, a new Duke who returned to London after years traveling the world.  She wants nothing more than to find love and have a big family, just like the one she is from, and he is determined to let the family name die with him, just to spite his horrible father. They form an alliance, to pretend to be courting, so she will get more offers and he will be left alone. But something is brewing between them. One night of indiscretion and it...
