✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨

Ancient History by AJ Truman

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

QOTD: What are you reading atm?

[instagram]

AJ Truman writes such fun, lovely books.

This one had so many super cute moments, like Amos having fruit loops for breakfast with Hutch’s dad, the promposal with the students involved, the skittles!

I love a second chance romance, and these two were utterly lovely together. I honestly appreciated how easy Amos forgave Hutch. He had been hurt, but he was so ready to accept Hutch’s apology and believe him when he said he loved him, that he never stopped.

I definitely wanna read more from this series.

🎄 BOOK REVIEW 🎄

Hot Mall Santa by AJ Truman

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[instagram]

I had SUCH a fun time reading this book.

It’s absolutely as silly as the title suggests, full of Christmas puns and innuendo. But it has so much heart, too. A perfect mix of sweet, steamy and silly.

Tom was such a sweet main character. A little shy, a little awkward, but kind and fun too. I loved his little personal journey of self worth over this short book.

Randall (aka Hot Mall Santa) was such a delightful love interest. I love the layers he was given, his past and the things he hardly dares want for his future.

For such a short book, this sure did make me feel a whole range of emotions. I highly recommend for a light festive read.

✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨

Marshmallow Mountain by AJ Truman and MA Wardell

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[instagram]

“It could be worse.”

“How could this be any worse?”

“We could be straight.”

This was such a wonderful mix of sweet, funny and spicy. There’s so many jokes, some that genuinely made me laugh, some that made me groan, but there’s also a lot of heart in this book. And these characters are HORNY.

Marsh is a comedian and he can’t help but make jokes at every turn. Instead of being annoying like it could have been, it was endearing. Every time. I really, really liked Marsh.

Data was understandably confused and hurt and he spends a lot of this book wrestling with that. But he also clearly loves the shit out of Marsh.

I love a second chance romance and these two were just made for each other.

I highly recommend if you’re looking for something both silly and spicy.
