Reverse by Kate Stewart is coming on July 19th but Reverse by Kate Stewart is coming on July 19th but I have the first chapter for you to read on my blog! Reverse is a steamy, star-crossed lovers rockstar romance so full of emotion—and well, it’s just an amazing book and I CAN’T WAIT for you to read it. >> Click the link in my bio to read CHAPTER ONE of Reverse! << 🔖 About the book: 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨, 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲. A relationship he’s kept hidden for decades. Upon unearthing his secret through a series of emails in our paper’s archives, I began my search for the truth. Haunted by my father’s love story, and in my quest for answers, I never imagined I would discover a love of my own. Or that my love for Easton Crowne would be key in discovering the reason behind what split our parents up. Doomed from the start and knowing the havoc our relationship would inevitably wreak on our families, I could never have prepared for the toll it would take or the cost of the truth. But in order to find our ending, we had to go back to their beginning.

She’s rubbish at embroidery.⁠ ⁠ After scandalous events during the London season, Lady Jane is attracting the wrong kind of attention. Her reputation is at risk as well as all her carefully laid plans for the future. And for better or worse, a chance encounter with a mysterious lord sets forth a series of events that will change their lives forever.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Thank you @smartypantsromance for my finished copy!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #totallybex #romancestagram #bookish #ireadromance #indiebookblogger #igreads #readromance #bibliophile #reading #historicalromance #booklove #bookinstagram #bookstagramfeature #booknerd #bookworm #bookstagrammers #bookphotography #becauseofreading #instabooks #bookcommunity #bookshelf #booklover #readingtime #booklovers #newbook
Have you heard of fika before? Basically, it's a S Have you heard of fika before? Basically, it's a Swedish institution — a coffee break that focuses on slowing down and enjoying time with friends (or family). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I first heard of this concept a few weeks ago, even though I have visited Sweden where I ate my weight in delicious pastries. Soon after learning about fika, I stumbled upon @doriegreenspan and then her Baking with Dorie cookbook. Once I saw Dorie's recipe for Swedish Fika Cake, I knew I had to make one!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Needless to say, the cake is absolutely delicious and the cookbook is gorgeous. If you love sweets as much as I do, you're going to want to get your own cookbook and use it as an excuse to have many fika breaks of your own 😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a blog post with more information about how to fika and a mini-review of Dorie's cookbook, plus information on how to get your own copy.

Do you ever lie to yourself at 11pm and say, "I'll Do you ever lie to yourself at 11pm and say, "I'll just read one chapter"? You can see where this is going, right? Part of Your World by authorabbyjimenez captured my heart from the very first chapter and I couldn't put it down until the very last page.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I loved Daniel and Alexis so much! The story and the writing are fantastic, the side characters are amazing, and I smiled so much while reading—even though it deals with some heavy subjects, they are handled with care and balanced with delightful banter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There's an age gap (she's older 🙌🏻), a small town that's nothing short of magical, weighty familial obligations and expectations, adorable and entertaining side characters/animals, and a hero who will MELT your heart.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know Part of Your World doesn't come out until the spring (April 19), but you *need* to put this on your TBR, pre-order it or request it from your library, and prepare to block off an entire day for reading it. You won't regret it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Head to the link in my bio → Books Featured on Instagram to get more information!
In my world, fall is for baking with apples and re In my world, fall is for baking with apples and reading cozy contemporary romances!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My family and I picked a couple of bushels of apples at a local orchard and I have been on the hunt for recipes to use them. I saw this apple dumpling pull-apart bread on the Fall Baking edition of @tasteofhome and knew I had to make it immediately. Let me tell you, it is delicious and I could eat the cider cream cheese glaze by the spoonful 😋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Another thing I could eat with a spoon is Well Matched by @jendelucawrites. I enjoyed Mitch and April's story of fake dating set amongst the backdrop of the Renaissance Faire so much. It was a delightful way to spend an afternoon, all snuggled up under blankets and eating sweet treats while reading this sweet story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For more information or to pick up a copy of Well Matched, click the link in my bio → Books Featured on Instagram.

On pace for a pro hockey record, the unexpected death of their captain and star player knocks them off course in ways they never expected.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Weston⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My world was turned upside down the day Ben Whitmer died. Best friends since junior hockey, Ben was like a brother to me. My voice of reason and a grounding force on and off the ice. But as heartbroken as I am, I don’t have the luxury of grieving his loss.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not only do I have to hold our team together, I was named guardian of the two young children Ben and his wife left behind. Well, not just me—me and his wife’s best friend, Hadley. We’ve been left with the impossible task of deciding which of us will raise the kids, but there’s no way I’m letting that uptight ballbuster have them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lines are drawn, but they begin to blur as I find out there’s more to Hadley than I thought. A lot more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [click the link in my bio → Books Featured on Instagram to read the rest + grab a copy!]
