Not gonna lie — May totally ran away from me. Between a lovely 2 week holiday and some annoying migraines that wiped me out, I didn’t get through as many books as I wanted. But the ones I did read? All romance, all heart, and exactly what I needed. I did manage to finish Onyx Storm, and oh wow, it was AMAZING. Emotional damage? Delivered.
Here's everything I read, and loved.

What I Read:

Onyx Storm- Rebecca Yarros
Started slow, but once it hit — I was all in. Heart-wrenching, intense, and that ending? Completely destroyed me (in the best way).
Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Wrong Bride- Catherine Maura
This book had me aching in the best way. The longing, the tension, the way they kept choosing each other even when it hurt — I felt everything. It broke me a little, but I loved every second of it.
Rating: 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gold Digger- Susie Tate
Gold Digger had me feeling ALL the emotions — from heart-flutters to heartbreaks. Oliver Harding completely stole my heart, and I couldn’t get enough of his slow-burn charm and fierce loyalty.
Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ellie Is Cool Now-Victoria Fulton & Faith McClaren
Ellie Is Cool Now was an easy, light read — the perfect palette cleanser between heavier books. While it didn’t totally blow me away, it had just enough charm, nostalgia, and second-chance vibes to keep me entertained.
Rating: 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Temporary Roomie- Sarah Adams
Just finished The Temporary Roomie by Sarah Adams — a sweet, fluffy romance with fun twists and plenty of heart. Here’s what I thought!
Rating: 3.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wild Side- Elsie Silver
I absolutely bloody loved Wild Side by Elsie Silver! It’s raw, emotional, and totally addictive. Here’s why it stole my heart.
Rating: 5/5
