And the potential conflict with Erin’s daughter Parker resolves way too neatly. The sex scenes in this book are really well-written, but I don’t think it’s a good romance. “One by One” by Ruth Ware: Mystery/thriller about a group of executives at a social media company, who ...
Role Model by Rachel Reid (Game Changers #5) – mm hockey romance Finally, a Rachel Reid book that I liked. I genuinely enjoyed this opposite attracts mm hockey romance with a very satisfying redemption arc. This is a pretty fluffy, low conflict romance although it touches on some tough ...
