You Between The Lines
Katie Nayman, 2025 3.75 Stars Wow – I see why this is highly reviewed because the form of this, the writing and the vulnerability (actual poems) is top notch. Leigh is the main character but her Anxiety is a supporting (unsupporting) character and this is a study in self-doubt. I…

Summertime Punchline
Betty Corrello, 2024 4.5 Stars for Del, anytime HOW did she do that? Betty Corrello wrote one my most favourite-ever FMC and then she kept building on growth and positive decisions and made Del even more assured and confident throughout the story. This book is beautiful and simmering and fully…

32 Days in May
Betty Corrello, 2025 5 Stars for Nadia, all of her Absolutely masterful writing and storytelling from Betty Corrello. I related so closely to the feelings of unhappiness, the deep blue that Nadia is trapped in, despite it stemming from a personal health issue, because the writing was so vivid. Corrello…

Auston Matthews: A Life in Hockey
Kevin McGran, 2025 3 Stars for warmups Nothing really surprised me about this book and it felt very surface-level, like I was reading a series of long-form articles in the Toronto Star, instead of a biography. Part of this is due to the author repeating storylines from chapter to chapter…

Bride
Ali Hazelwood, 2024 5 Stars, of course On re-read, this a five-star read and I’m 100% going to buy for keepsies. This is a story with a smart ass vampire who cares an awful lot for the werewolves who show her compassion and it’s a sly thriller because she’s solving…

Mate
Ali Hazelwood, 2025 4.75 Stars for Unhinged Delights Fantastic. Can’t wait to re-read as audiobook and spend more time in this world. This sequel to Mate goes straight into Northwest wolf den territory. In Bride, the big reveal was that they are mates, but this book starts there, at Go.…

August Lane
Regina Black, 2025 5 Stars for Finesse and Craft Absolutely beautiful story of romance and beginnings and family/community. This story is a ballad, and it’s told in three different timelines but it transitions between each of them with perfect timing. I was so taken by August and Luke as these…

Up Close and Personal
Ana Holguin, 2025 3.75 Stars for strong women I was excited about this book from the Smart Romance substack which had an author Q&A, but it didn’t give me fireworks and super swoon, although Silas wins the award for the hottest damn tattoo I’ve ever seen in a love story. …

Yes No Maybe
Jessica Sherry, 2024 3.75 Stars for Colour in Community Rowan was a very striking character with so much depth. As Jack uncovers her real passions and vulnerability, I began to care more and more about her. I’m impressed at the story that Jessica Sherry wanted to tell with these community…
