馃摎: That鈥檚 Cockatoo Much by Kristin Macqueen
Tropes:
馃憠 Small Town
馃憠 Second Chance
馃憠 Forced Proximity
TWs 馃槦:
Main Takeaway 馃徆: A fun start to the series!
Synopsis 馃摐: Delilah never thought she鈥檇 return to her hometown after leaving in a hurry thinking her husband cheated on her. Now that she鈥檚 back, she鈥檚 having trouble resisting her hot husband and avoiding their past.
Personal Thoughts 馃: I could have been Delilah in another life. I would have absolutely reacted the same way to finding out my husband cheated on me. And then I would have avoided talking to him about it when I returned to town. She鈥檚 so easy to understand but so is Jonah. He held onto hope and never stopped believing Delilah would return to him one day and that鈥檚 the kind of man every woman deserves! This story was so fun, despite the heartache and I can鈥檛 wait to learn more about this quirky little town.

馃摎: Bonus Game by Susan Renee
Tropes:
馃憠 Hockey
馃憠 Single Dad/Nanny
馃憠 Forced Proximity
TWs 馃槦: Mentions of child abandonment
Main Takeaway 馃徆: I鈥檓 so sad this series is over!
Synopsis 馃摐: Zeke has been a single dad for years and has been relying on his parents to help with his daughter after her mother abandoned her. But his parents deserve to enjoy retirement so he decides to try and find a full time nanny. Enter Ada, a widow who Kinsley introduces him to. She is perfect for his daughter and she may just be perfect for him as well.
Personal Thoughts 馃: I have absolutely loved this series (and everything else Susan has ever written) and Zeke did not disappoint. He tries so hard to handle everything life has thrown at him since his wife left them but he lights up like a Christmas tree the moment he meets Ada. I loved the way just meeting each other makes them both instantly happier in life and the relationship they both have with Elsie is adorable! I can鈥檛 wait to see what Susan has up her sleeves next for us!

馃摎: Wrecking Love by A. Winchester
Tropes:
馃憠 Wolf Shifters
馃憠 Second Chance Marriage
馃憠 Surprise Pregnancy
TWs 馃槦: Too many to list. Please see content warning at beginning of book or reach out with questions
Main Takeaway 馃徆: A perfect book 2 to the series
Synopsis 馃摐: Killian is back in Cedar Harbor after three years but his past has followed him there in the form of a wolf hunter who wants to kill them all. Because he has returned, he is forced to face his past and his mental illness, neither of which he wants to do but he can鈥檛 seem to resist his wife and everything they went through.
Personal Thoughts 馃: This book was 10000% worth the wait after Escaping Expectations changed the chemistry of my brain last year. Declan is a sexy lumbersnack but Killian is a sinful bounty hunter whose inner monologue and mental illness hit a little too close to home for me. I never expected to relate to a wolf shifting bounty hunter but here we are. Genevieve lived up to her personality from EE as well. I love her relationship with Nolan and Raven but learning about her life with Killian made her even more likable. She has been through more pain at the hands of her parents and religion than anyone should ever have to deal with and she is still a bright light throughout the book.
This world A. Winchester is building is absolutely becoming an obsession for me and I鈥檓 eternally grateful to have been here from the beginning and to be a part of her team for as long as she鈥檒l have me!

馃摎: First Comes Forever by Kay Cove
Tropes:
馃憠 Millionaire
馃憠 Forced Proximity
馃憠 Friends to Lovers
TWs 馃槦: Infertility, miscarriage, mental health issues
Main Takeaway 馃徆: Adam is a dream book boyfriend!
Synopsis 馃摐: Amani wants nothing more than to be a mom. She鈥檚 trying everything her doctor suggests and when she connects with Adam and they develop a stronger friendship, he offers to pay for her IVF treatment, among other things. As their summer romance turns into a true relationship, Adam wants to be more than just an uncle to the child they are hoping to create.
Personal Thoughts 馃: Adam is swoonworthy! The lines that come out of this man鈥檚 mouth would make anyone attracted to men melt. And they don鈥檛 necessarily come off as cheesy. When it comes to Amani, this man is 100% genuine. I loved the growth of their relationship and Adam cemented himself in my book boyfriend hall of fame during the third act when he did what he had to do to help Amani heal even though it meant breaking his own heart in the process.
