Man, I’ve been reading like crazy this month and I’ve loved every single one of them. And I have SO MANY MORE to get through. Hope you guys love these just as much as I do!
I’ve read SO many books that just absolutely FUCKED me up and I’m so excited to break your hearts with these recs lmfao
I did include the Amazon links for these books! Most of them are available on KU, though!
Please make sure to read the TW for each of the books! A few of them deal with SA and DV. Almost all of them have smut lol.
The Ravenhood Series (Flock, Exodus, The Finish Line): Kate Stewart (this one is a must read in my opinion. I have never sobbed over a book/character like I did in this book. I read this one at the beginning of the month and I still tear up when I think about it. Like writing this, right now, I have tears in my eyes)
The Made Series (The Sweetest Obsession, The Maddest Obsession, The Darkest Temptation): Danielle Lori (another must read. Nico owns my heart. All the feminism leaves my body when I pick up a mafia series lmfao)
Hooked: Emily McIntire (I should’ve known based off of the title and description, but this was Peter Pan fan fiction basically hahaha it was good! Good enough to recommend, but i don’t think I’d read it again)
Beneath the Secrets: Shandi Boyes (I don’t remember a ton about this book, but we love an alpha male! It was good enough that I wanted to recommend it haha)
River Wild: Samantha Towle (This one was really good! Super intense and I loved both of the characters!)
What’s Left of Me: Kristen Granata (gah, I loved this one! The best friends brother trope has my heart)
The Wall of Winnipeg and Me: Mariana Zapata (MUST READ. I love this author, SO MUCH. She had perfected the slow burn and we love a sports romance)
Under Locke: Mariana Zapata (another good one! The slow burn, the alpha male/bad boy with a strong female character.. chef’s kiss.)
It Ends With Us: Colleen Hoover (man, I finished this one yesterday and honestly, i’m still recovering. So good!)
The Chai Factor: Farah Heron (i loved this one! beautifully written with some important conversations about sexism, racism, and privilege.)
It Happened One Summer: Tessa Bailey (LOVED! If you love Schitt’s Creek, you’ll love this book)
Roomies: Christina Lauren (Holland and Calvin have my heart, man! Angsty, smutty, fluffy, gotta love a triple threat!)
I’m honestly kind of shocked that I managed to drop fics and read all of these books in 30 days hahaha
Plenty more of that to come! I’m excited for December.
Saving Noah starts off slow, even though time is speeding by. It almost reads like a novella. But it has the sweetest and calmest touch her and die moment I have ever read, and I fell head over heels! No one warned me that my heart was going to be ripped out of my chest reading this! This is the story of a musician on the brink of stardom, who falls in love, and experiences love and loss and HOLY PLOT TWIST BATMAN! If you aren’t ready for your heart to be ripped out and stomped on the ground...find something fluffier. If you love the heartbreak that Colleen Hoover offers, this is a great read for you!
My Favorite Quotes:
•’Never let fear decide your fate. It’s inevitable no matter how much it scares you.’
•”So I’ll ask you again, Emily, what do you want from me?” “I want you, Noah. I want you.”
A rookie FBI agent versus the mob. . . I don’t see how this will end well.

Can an Australian expat show the struggling sports star there’s more to life than the next win? Or has Willow Underwood chewed off a chunk of man-meat too thick for her to swallow?
This series had me from the beginning! With so many twists and turns, but with proper timing.
I have read books where the author keeps the reader in the dark about things and then springs it on you, but this series did not do that. It kept me informed, without keeping me in the dark.
The ending was a bit lackluster, but not disappointing! Definitely recommend this one, as it is an easy read and fun as well!
