Damaged romance heroines who are stronger than they realize
These heroines have been through THINGS, y’all. But they’ve all lived to tell the tale and find their happily ever afters. What’s more inspiring than that? And couldn’t we all use a little inspiration these days?

Romance reads for Reylos to console themselves with
I don’t really want to talk about The Rise of Skywalker anymore. I already did that. I could rant for a hundred years about why I want to throat-punch JJ Abrams, why Rose, Hux, Rey, and especially BEN SOLO (yes, I used the shout-y caps) were done really dirty in the film, and why The Last Jedi was superior to TRoS in nearly every way. But I won’t. That’s been done to death (and frankly, it’s hard to get me to STOP talking about it once I start). What I WILL do at this point is recommend some AWESOME enemies-to-lovers romances that might help you get over your disappointment with that dumpster fire of an ending TRoS had.

There were a few things here that could’ve horribly ruined the whole story for me, but...it all ended up OK.  

Plot overview: Everyone in the world starts having nightmares about the world ending on April 23. With the apocalypse pending, the worst of humanity is on display. In the middle of the mess, 19-year-old Rain, who is basically waiting around to die, is kidnapped by Wes, a survivor in every sense of the word. Stockholm Syndrome (and a little instalove) ensues.

5 things in beloved Disney movies that I NEVER tolerate in romance novels
I grew up on Disney movies, y’all. So don’t think this post is about hating on Disney movies. I’ve loved just about every single one of them. But that doesn’t mean that they have always depicted healthy romantic relationships like the ones depicted in my favorite romance novels. Here’s a few things that happened in beloved Disney movies that would make me DNF a romance novel with a quickness.

Overall, this was a pretty cute office rom com with a gruff, loner hero and a sweet, happy-go-lucky heroine (hence the title of the book).  

Plot overview: Sweet, sunshine-y Maisie gets a little tipsy at the office Christmas party and ends up in bed with gruff, grumpy, anti-social Cameron. Hijinks ensue. ​

If you’re looking for extremely well-written high emotion and angst, look no further...  

Plot overview: Thea and Ramsey were childhood best friends and high school sweethearts until Ramsey went to prison (served 12 years on a 16 year sentence) for killing the guy who assaulted Thea. The book details the events leading up to Ramsey’s incarceration, and also everything that happens once he’s released.

What you’ll love (and hate) about the Netflix Virgin River series
In case you weren’t aware, the wildly popular Virgin River series by Robyn Carr has been made into a Netflix series. I went ahead and watched it for you so that if you were on the fence, you’d be able to make a nice, comfortable viewing decision. You’re welcome. Here’s what I discovered. (Note: Originally published 1/13/2020, updated on 12/1/2020 to include my thoughts on season 2, again on 7/25/2021 to include my thoughts on season 3, and NOW I'm updating it again on 8/7/2022 to include my thoughts on season 4.)

Who to read if you support diversity (and detest racism) in romance
If you’ve been on Twitter at all since Christmas, you’re probably aware of the HUGE kerfuffle that’s going on with Romance Writers of America (RWA). Long-story-short, they’ve been called out on long-standing racism, and the organization isn’t doing much of anything to help themselves. But that’s not what I wanted to talk about today. There are PLENTY of places you can read all about what’s going on with the RWA. I want to talk about what we can DO to help make things a little better.
