💭My thoughts:
I loved reading “Remember me” by KJ Pointer and was absolutely invested in Lotties and Jakes story 😍
The contrast between the introverted FMC and the very confident hockey star was done well. I also appreciated the fact that Jake never gave up on Lottie even when both of their worlds fell apart. He always showed up for her.
.
This book deals with a lot! It is an emotional rollercoaster dealing with the loss of parents, lots of grief and even panic attacks. So be aware of all of those things in case they might be triggering for you.
.
The writing was easy to get into, the chapters had the perfect length and it was quickly paced. I really flew through this. If you love a good and emotional sports romance between childhood best friends, the you should definitely give “Remember me” a try 🥰

🇫🇷 only ⤵️

Un vrai coup de cœur ❤️ Oh My Lord ! m’a agréablement surprise ! Et je me demande encore pourquoi j’ai attendu aussi longtemps avant de le lire, bordel !! 😅
.
Tout d’abord, j’ai adoré les interactions entre Sidonie et Birdie. C’était beaucoup trop adorable ! 🥰 Sa sœur jumelle, Joe, m’a également fait rire à plusieurs reprises avec ses répliques juste magiques. 😂 Dommage que je n’aie pas pris de notes de toutes ces citations, parce que c’était de vraies pépites ! 😜
.
L’histoire en elle-même est fluide et très addictive. Je n’ai pas vu le temps passer, tellement j’étais prise par l’histoire de nos protagonistes. Le seul petit bémol, c’est que certains passages vont parfois un peu trop vite. Mais cela reste une belle histoire rafraîchissante et un véritable coup de cœur ! ❤️
Hâte de découvrir la suite avec Joe en tant que protagoniste ! �

Today I’m back with a bookish review as you can see above 🥰 I had lots of fun reading this book and really enjoyed my time.
.
💭 Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
A Taste of Limoncello was such an addictive read. It’s told in dual POV and tells us how Ava and Dax really feel, especially about each other 😜

This story strikes a nice balance between sweet and spicy and you can really feel the tension between our two MCs. As the story was partially set in Italy, the author also managed to make the whole reading experience feel like an escape from reality.

If you’re looking for something that’s sweet and spicy at the same time I can only recommend reading « A taste of Limoncello » 🍋
.

📚 What to expect:
🍷Workplace Romance
🍋One Bed
🍷Friends to Lovers
🍋Slow Burn with high heat
🍷Italian Travel Romance
.

Blurb
She’s desperate to forget her tragic past.
He’s navigating an uncertain future.
Between her scars and his secrets, they find love in the present.
Five years ago, an unthinkable tragedy wiped Cait London’s memory clean, forcing her to move and quietly rebuild her life in Chicago. Now, all that remains are her scars and an unexplainable, hollow ache in her soul.

Evan Wade is a complication she didn’t plan for. He’s the charming and too-handsome-for-his-own-good landlord who threatens to tear down her protective walls. Evan tries to keep his distance, but he’s helplessly drawn to the storm of sadness behind her eyes. Somehow, it mirrors his own.

Unable to keep their charged interactions in check, they agree to spend one hot night together. Except being together becomes more than sex; it changes everything.

As their relationship blooms, Cait’s past begins to unravel, bleeding into her present. But no matter how hard Cait tries to move on, and no matter how hard Evan fights for her, neither can outrun the tragic truth that may destroy the safety and love they’ve found in each other’s arms.
All The Ways to Miss You is an epic journey of love and loyalty.

🏝️ On Island Time by Morgan Rooney E-ARC review ‼️

🏝️ On Island Time by Morgan Rooney E-ARC review
‼️ A review copy of this book has been sent to me in exchange for an honest review.
.
📖 SYNOPSIS:
One summer can change everything.
Marnie Stevens has her eyes set on becoming a museum curator. She is a finalist for a new promotion and is one step closer to achieving that dream, until an unexpected twist of fate lands her on the picturesque island of Martha’s Vineyard for the summer. To prove she is the top candidate for the promotion, she must plan and launch an exhibit themed around Jaws, a film woven into the island’s history and culture. With a deadline looming to unveil her exhibit, Marnie has no time to be seduced by a beautiful island, mouthwatering pumpkin spice lattes, or the handsome contractor tasked with building her exhibit sets and bringing her vision to life.
Caleb Hansen has lived his entire life on Martha’s Vineyard, following the predetermined path of working for his family’s contracting company while navigating a complicated relationship with his father. He agrees to do one more job. Then he’s done for good. But when he’s tasked as the lead contractor on the new Jaws exhibit with the island’s historical society, he meets Marnie, and everything changes. While working together, their relationship blooms into something more, and he finds his creative spark reignited. Marnie encourages him to pursue his own dreams, while Caleb tempts her to bend her rule of no workplace romances.
The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to resist Caleb’s charm, and Marnie finds herself blurring the professional boundaries she’s put in place while trying to keep the exhibit on track. With summer quickly coming to an end, Marnie starts to question what she’s wanted all along after discovering just how sweet it can be to live on island time.
.
💭 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was a great summer read. Caleb and Marnie have really good chemistry and I was rooting so much for a happy ending because how can you not? They were so cute together! I Getting both of their perspectives through the dual POV made the whole story feel so much deeper and sweeter.
If you want a beach read then give “On Island Time” a try! 🥰

💭”Love means constantly saying you’re sorry, and then doing better” - Emily Henry, Happy Place
.
Here is a repost of one of my favorite summer romances. The only new thing is the picture because I can’t seem to find the one from 2023. My opinion of the book hasn’t change however 😜
And now enjoy this little throwback ❤️
.
I read “Happy Place” by Emily Henry a while ago and absolutely loved it. It is even one of my favourite reads, and I couldn’t get enough of this book. 😍

In “Happy Place” we follow Harriet, a young woman who spends every summer in a Holiday House with her friends. They’re always staying a whole week. However, this year is going to be a little bit different. It will be their last year at their so-called Happy Place, and Harriet isn’t engaged anymore. But this is a piece of information that no one is aware of. Not even her best friends. To top all of this. Wyn (her ex-fiancé) will also be present at the Holiday House, which is why both of them pretend to still be engaged and they fake their feelings. But will their show be enough to convince their friends that nothing is wrong?

“Happy Place” was such a cute and fun read and a perfect summer read. However, be prepared to have a box of tissues next to you because you’ll probably need those while reading this wonderful book.

Hallo Bookstagram! Hoffe ihr hattet alle ein erholsames Osterwochenende 🥰 🐣

Heute hab ich mal einen anderen Content für euch. Bookhauls gab es jetzt genug 🤣.
Vor kurzem hab ich den 2.ten Teil einer Kinder Fantasy Reihe beendet und war wieder ein mal ganz begeistert von der Geschichte. Es handelt sich hier um “Die Verlorene Rezeptur” aus der Zuckermeister Reihe von Tanja Voosen. Ich fand diesen Band sogar noch spannender und musste richtig mitfiebern. Ich kann diese Reihe einfach nur empfehlen 🥰 und das nicht nur den 9-jährigen. Auch ein älteres Kind oder ein Erwachsener kann sein Glück hier finden. Ich kann es kaum erwarten das nächste Buch zu lesen😍.

🎥Practical Magic x You’ve Got Mail
🌊small town (island in the PNW)
✨four sister witches
❤️rivals to lovers
💌 secret pen pals (online)
🔥 Slow burn
🙋🏻‍♀️eldest daughter

Synopsis:
Practical Magic meets You’ve Got Mail in this cozy magical romance novel.

You’ve Got Magic.

Lillian Rosewood is doing just fine…thank you very much. She has her three sisters, her daughter, her plant shop, and a budding online “friendship” with a mysterious man who fills her heart with glee. She does not have any room for magic (much to her sisters’ disappointment) or relationships.

Then she meets Silas Barstow.

The chemistry between them is heady, and every time he’s near, Lillian’s long-buried magic stirs to life as though she hadn’t abandoned it. There’s just one problem—Silas has opened a plant shop/brewery only a block from hers. On a tiny island like Owen’s Hollow, there’s barely enough business for one of them, let alone two.

Determined to save her shop, Lillian throws herself into planning the biggest Halloween festival the island has ever seen. Unfortunately, thanks to her meddling aunt, she and Silas are forced to organize the event together. As they spend more time side by side, rivalry gives way to friendship, friendship to undeniable attraction.

Then strange things begin happening at Silas’s brewery.

Silas is convinced someone is sabotaging his business, and suddenly every lingering glance and stolen smile is overshadowed by suspicion. But Lillian senses something far more unsettling is at work. The brewery isn’t being sabotaged. It’s haunted.

As if the ghost weren’t enough trouble, Lillian makes an even more shocking discovery—Silas is the mysterious man she’s been chatting with online. Now she’s hiding a secret that could destroy all the trust they’ve built. How can she tell him the truth when he suspects she’s trying to ruin his business?

Lilian must embrace the magic she’s spent years denying, uncover the truth behind the haunting, and decide whether love is worth taking a chance on.

Apparently, I enjoy emotional damage enough to do it all over again. 😂📚

Throne of Glass & Crown of Midnight were rereads for me, and somehow I still loved going through all the betrayal, heartbreak, and chaos again. Just like I said I enjoyed my heart being broken again far too much 🤭

It’s always so interesting to reread books when you already know what’s coming and suddenly notice all those little details you missed the first time. And believe me I couldn’t remember most of the things …👀
