Rating: 3/5⭐


🤍 Thank you

First and foremost I would like to thank the Author Denise hunter and Thomas Nelson Fiction for sending me the ARC copy of the book in return for an honest review truly grateful for it 


✨ A Soft Glimpse

A gentle, faith-filled love story wrapped in small-town warmth—where healing, friendship, and quiet love bloom at just the right time.


🌸 My Heart Says…

If you’re in the mood for a clean Christian contemporary romance with wholesome, feel-good moments… this one might just be for you.

There’s something about small-town romances that always feels comforting to me—and this book carried that same warmth throughout. It follows two childhood best friends finding their way back to each other, slowly seeing each other in a new light after years.

And honestly? There was something so soft and easy about it.



💞 What Made Me Swoon

Tyson and Jenny are the kind of couple you can’t help but smile at.

Their dynamic felt so natural—rooted in years of friendship, comfort, and understanding. Watching their relationship evolve from something familiar into something deeper was genuinely heartwarming.

What made their story even more meaningful was how their love grew amidst past trauma and lingering fears. It wasn’t rushed—it felt like something that slowly unfolded, piece by piece, until it became undeniable.

Their love was soft, tender, and quietly powerful. The kind that feels like right person, right time.

And the little moments between them? So wholesome and comforting.


💔 What Stayed With Me

The emotional undercurrent of healing and faith stood out—how love can gently grow even when there’s pain in the past.


🌙 A Small Wish

That said, I did feel like something was missing in the overall plot. At times, the story felt a little stretched, and I found myself wishing for a bit more depth or tighter pacing.

God of malice by Rina Kent Review - Red flags that you should fall in love in book not in real life❤️🖤⛓️

  Rating: 4/5⭐ ⚠️ CAUTION Check the trigger warnings before reading ✨ A Soft Glimpse A dark, obsessive love story filled with chaos, vulnerability, and two broken souls finding comfort in each other in the most unexpected way. 🌸 My Thoughts… This book was probably the beginning of my obsession with Rina Kent ’s work. I know this book is very  controversial—some people absolutely love it while others completely hate it. But me? I’m definitely on the side that loved it. Dark romance has always been one of my favorite subgenres. There’s just something about the intensity, the emotional chaos, and the morally grey characters that keeps me hooked every single time. And honestly… this book gave me exactly that. When I first started reading it, I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into. And for anyone who has already read this book… you KNOW that opening was insane. I still remember reading it while traveling on a train and literally looking around to make sure nobody...

  Rating: 4.5/5⭐ ⚠️ CAUTION Check the trigger warnings before reading ✨ A Soft Glimpse A chaotic dark grumpy x sunshine romance filled with obsession, tension, possessiveness, and two people who completely throw each other off balance in the best way possible. 🌸 My Thoughts… So who knew starting this series would end up being one of the best decisions of my life? When I first started this series last year, I genuinely had no clue what I was getting myself into. After finishing God of Malice and picking up God of Pain , I remember thinking—okay, I’ve read a LOT of grumpy x sunshine romances before… but what would a dark version of it even look like? Well… Safe to say I absolutely ate this book up. Creighton and Annika as a duo? I honestly don’t even know how to explain them properly but I loved them so much . Their whole dynamic just worked for me. 💞 What Made Me Swoon Creighton is literally the definition of grumpy. Silent, brooding, aloof, constantly observing everyone...

Deep in love by Nicole Cubba - Review - A STEM romance where she dislikes him but he is down bad🪸❤️‍🩹🪼

  Rating: 5/5⭐ ✨ A Soft Glimpse A love story built on rivalry, quiet longing, and soft discoveries—where passion meets intellect, and love blooms in the most unexpected places. 🌸 My Heart Says… A romance book with women in STEM? Yes please and thank you. This was exactly the kind of read I didn’t know I needed. I picked it up as a little palate cleanser… but oh my—did I devour it? Absolutely yes. Rivals to lovers with a down bad MMC? I was already sold. Mateo and Charlie, both PhD students and academic rivals, had me hooked from the very beginning. What started as tension slowly unfolded into something so much deeper, and I couldn’t get enough of it. 💞 What Made Me Swoon Charlie’s black cat energy paired with Mateo’s golden retriever personality? PERFECTION. While Charlie was fully convinced they couldn’t stand each other, Mateo… oh, he was gone for her. Completely. Irrevocably. And the universe clearly agreed—because sending them on a research expedition together (with a...
