The Name Curse: A Boring Romance that Failed to Deliver

I read "The Name Curse" because it was about Alaska and I love books about Alaska, and I wanted to read more so I could recommend more. But Landline wasn't for me - it just didn't grab my attention. It had this great premise that could have been amazing, but sadly did not deliver.

We Have Another Test Book: Good Lord How Many Disappearing Books!

I also have another testament book that I read this year, and either way, it was a disappointment. The title says "Tonight", "Today", "Tomorrow, Always". It was good enough to finish, but I'm sad to say that because this book was like her vampire paranormal series which I loved the first book in - "Reborn" yesterday! It's one of my favorites by her and one of my favorite romances of all time. This last one, however, was just kind of meh - it was okay.

The Sweet Spot: A Sequel that Fell Short

This book is actually the sequel to "Float Plan", which came out this year. It was good enough to finish, but I did not really like it nearly as much as "Float Plan". That's just my personal opinion. If you've read both books, you might disagree.

Good Girl Complex: A Boring Romance that Failed to Engage

Another book that came out this year was "Good Girl Complex", which was good enough to finish but ultimately failed to engage me. I couldn't tell anything about it because I had no clue what the plot was about. And you know what? That's just fine with me - sometimes a book can be enjoyable without having to understand its intricacies.

The Party Crasher: A Solid, But Unremarkable Romance

"Sophie Gonzillo" wrote "The Party Crasher", which was...fine. Good fun, like it was good. It wasn't one of my favorite Sophie Gonzillo books, but it was a solid one. I enjoyed the read, even if it didn't leave a lasting impression.

Nick and Noel's Christmas Playlist: A Boring Romance that Disappointed

On the other hand, "Nick and Noel's Christmas Playlist" was both one of my least favorite books of the year and also one that disappointed me. It just didn't grab me in any way - I found it boring from start to finish.

Hook, Line, and Seek: A Long, Rambling Romance

The sequel to "It Happened One Summer", "Hook, Line, and Seek" was good enough to finish, but ultimately fell short of my expectations. The book just rambled on too long for me - I wanted more from the characters, but it seemed like they were struggling to get their stories together.

Thor Oh Window Shopping: A Favorite Romance Novel

One of my favorite romance novels, "Window Shopping", by Tessy Wynter, is a wonderful holiday romance that warmed my heart. It didn't have much plot, but I still ended up enjoying it - the author's writing style is just so cute and engaging.

Across Country Christmas: A Surprisingly Good Holiday Romance

I also loved "Across Country Christmas"! This was one of her holiday books across country series, which I had read before, and I knew I would love this one. But what surprised me was how much I enjoyed it - the plot was about second chance romance and road trips, and it just felt so heartwarming and holiday-ish to me.

The Grump Who Stole Christmas: A Cute, If Unremarkable, Holiday Romance

Finally, there's "The Grump Who Stole Christmas", a cute but unremarkable holiday novella that was good enough to finish. It didn't have much plot, but I liked the main character anyway - she wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows.

Fiery Fantastic: A Wonderful, Steamy Holiday Romance

And then there's "Fiery Fantastic" by Tessy Wynter! This is another holiday book in her Across Country series that truly surprised me. It was about a grumpy hero who stole the heart of a businesswoman, and it just worked for me - I loved this book so much!

The Mistletoe Motive: A Wonderful Holiday Romance with a Strong Meet-Cute

Another holiday romance that I thoroughly enjoyed is "The Mistletoe Motive". This one was about a grumpy hero who met his match in a businesswoman, and it had just the right amount of steam to keep me engaged. It's a wonderful holiday read that left me feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

Other Holiday Romances

I also want to mention two more holiday romances - "A Holiday Bro" (unromantic novella) and "No Romance Novella". The first one was actually cute, and I enjoyed the story, even though it didn't have much of a plot. The second one... well, that's just not really my cup of tea.

My Favorite Romance Book

And finally, there's "Reborn" by Tessy Wynter - this is still one of my favorite romance novels of all time! It's the first book in her vampire paranormal series, which I fell deeply in love with.

it was fine good fun i mean honestly i don't think i've ever rated a jasmine gilroy book higher than a three stars because honestly there's not much to them as much as i want to say like i loved it and it was amazing they're just kind of just kind of middle of the road books for me and that is just how i feel then we have wait for it by jen mccleanly this is the sequel so equal companion all to her book paris is always a good idea it was oh poop oh man i'm messing this up it was good enough to finish it was okay i honestly can't tell you much about it because i don't remember honestly oh very sincerely yours by kerry winfrey i'm just gonna go for it i'm gonna put it right in swirly perfection i found this book so adorable like it didn't have a lot of steaming or something like that it was just straight up adorable like whenever i think about this book a huge smile just comes across my face i liked it the office party this is this is gonna be hard to read because it's a novella not for me just because like it just didn't have like barely any plot and i think with novellas you can either have a really great novella where you're gonna make your readers want a full-length book about it or it's just gonna kind of be just there because it's there and that was exactly the case with this one um oh a lot like adios by alexis dario very fantastic i really enjoyed this one um i liked it probably about the same maybe a little bit more than you had me at ola but i still really enjoyed it when sparks fly by helena hunting again fiery fantastic i really enjoyed this one as well um this is um about two characters that are friends that turn into lovers and it was just really adorable honestly the mo the worst wonderful time of the year easily not for me it was a no it was the last book i read in the year and also the last novella and it just had no plot like novellas like i said hit or miss you know this one just i had no clue why it was written it had zero plot like it was just there it started with the dog by julia london i'm gonna put this one in fine good fun it was okay i like the whole dog aspect the most of this whole series just because they're fun it's not like amazing same with the xx fine good fun it was okay like it's just like is it an amazing like witchy halloween book no but it's a fun book to read your halloween like if you put your expectations aside and just have a good time it's there same with the holly um same with a holly jolly diwali it was fine good fun as well this one i would say is not so much romance as more of a character development and you learn more about the holiday diwali and what it means to each different character in this book it was good the love hypothesis by ali hazelwood it's worth the perfection loved it although it's one of everyone's favorites of the year with good reason i mean i'm not going to talk about anymore because it doesn't need to be set the sweetest fix by tessa bailey was this a novella or was it a foley novel either way it was not for me i just remember not really enjoying it there wasn't that good of a plot either way it was a short book if it was a book or if it was a novella it was just well matched by jen deluca i really enjoyed this one i'm gonna put it in swirly perfection i had a good time with it um i think it was probably my second favorite of the whole series um the second book was just i'm just gonna say it i was trash i didn't like it but this one i did really enjoyed it i had an age gap romance kind of like a friends to lovers romance i was here for it the fastest way to fall by denise williams um i'm just going to put in fine good fun i didn't like it nearly as much as her first book um what is it i forget what the her first book was called because i can't remember anything today apparently i had a fail at flirting that's what it was it was okay it wasn't that great the single thing was sarah decide another one that i really enjoyed by her um she actually had two books come out this year which one do you like more the dating planner single table oh it's a hard choice i might go with i like them both for different reasons honestly i need to think about that the name curse i read this book because it was about alaska and i love books about alaska and i wanted to read more so i could recommend more but landline was not for me i just it it was boring it was straight up boring it had this great premise that it could have been amazing but sadly did not deliver we have another testament books good lord how many disappearing books that i read this year either way this is tonight today tomorrow always it was good enough to finish and i'm sad to say that because this was like her vampire paranormal series which i loved the first book in it reborn yesterday it's like one of my favorites by her and one of my favorite romances of all time this last one was just kind of just meh it was okay the sweet spot by tristar this is actually the sequel to the float plan coming out this year it was good enough to finish it was okay i did not really like it nearly whoops nearly as much as um float plan that's just my personal opinion good girl complex another book that came out this year it was good enough to finish it was okay i couldn't tell anything and you know what no i'm gonna put a knot for me it was just kind of boring it was about this girl that's kind of like us that lives in the summertime like the summer like town that something like that obviously i can't tell you anything about it because i have no clue the party crasher by sophie can sell this was fine good fun like it was good it wasn't one of my favorite sophie gonzillo books but it was a solid one it was a good time nick and noel's christmas playlist not for me i both one of my least favorite books of the year because i just did not like the way it was written it was just it was boring just let's say it look boring that's how i felt hook line and seeker this is the sequel to it happened one summer this one is good enough to finish as well like it's sad to say i love the characters in it but it just it rambled on way too long like i wanted more from the characters yet it was written too long does that make any sense just how i feel another freaking tessa bailey book thor oh window shopping i really enjoy this one i'm gonna put in fiery fantastic i really liked it it was her christmas book and it was steamy didn't have a ton of plot but i still ended up liking it a ton it was just really cute and the last three books are all holiday books across country christmas swirly perfection this one solely surprised me like i was not expected to love this book as much as i did like it was a road trip book about second chance romance and it was just so heartwarming and holiday-ish that i just loved the mess out of it it was super cute totally surprised me the grump who stole christmas good enough to finish it was a holiday novella not much to it you could tell the title it's about a grump meet sunshine there you go actually no i don't think the main character was like a sunshine she was just like a business lady either way the mistletoe motive was fiery fantastic i really enjoyed that one another holiday um romance that a holiday bro no romance novella that was really cute i hate to love romance and i had a good time with it so there you

the sequel so equal companion all to her book paris is always a good idea it was oh poop oh man i'm messing this up it was good enough to finish it was okay i honestly can't tell you much about it because i don't remember honestly oh very sincerely yours by kerry winfrey i'm just gonna go for it i'm gonna put it right in swirly perfection i found this book so adorable like it didn't have a lot of steaming or something like that it was just straight up adorable like whenever i think about this book a huge smile just comes across my face i liked it the office party this is this is gonna be hard to read because it's a novella not for me just because like it just didn't have like barely any plot and i think with novellas you can either have a really great novella where you're gonna make your readers want a full-length book about it or it's just gonna kind of be just there because it's there and that was exactly the case with this one um oh a lot like adios by alexis dario very fantastic i really enjoyed this one um i liked it probably about the same maybe a little bit more than you had me at ola but i still really enjoyed it when sparks fly by helena hunting again fiery fantastic i really enjoyed this one as well um this is um about two characters that are friends that turn into lovers and it was just really adorable honestly the mo the worst wonderful time of the year easily not for me it was a no it was the last book i read in the year and also the last novella and it just had no plot like novellas like i said hit or miss you know this one just i had no clue why it was written it had zero plot like it was just there it started with the dog by julia london i'm gonna put this one in fine good fun it was okay i like the whole dog aspect the most of this whole series just because they're fun it's not like amazing same with the xx fine good fun it was okay like it's just like is it an amazing like witchy halloween book no but it's a fun book to read your halloween like if you put your expectations aside and just have a good time it's there same with the holly um same with a holly jolly diwali it was fine good fun as well this one i would say is not so much romance as more of a character development and you learn more about the holiday diwali and what it means to each different character in this book it was good the love hypothesis by ali hazelwood it's worth the perfection loved it although it's one of everyone's favorites of the year with good reason i mean i'm not going to talk about anymore because it doesn't need to be set the sweetest fix by tessa bailey was this a novella or was it a foley novel either way it was not for me i just remember not really enjoying it there wasn't that good of a plot either way it was a short book if it was a book or if it was a novella it was just well matched by jen deluca i really enjoyed this one i'm gonna put it in swirly perfection i had a good time with it um i think it was probably my second favorite of the whole series um the second book was just i'm just gonna say it i was trash i didn't like it but this one i did really enjoyed it i had an age gap romance kind of like a friends to lovers romance i was here for it the fastest way to fall by denise williams um i'm just going to put in fine good fun i didn't like it nearly as much as her first book um what is it i forget what the her first book was called because i can't remember anything today apparently i had a fail at flirting that's what it was it was okay it wasn't that great the single thing was sarah decide another one that i really enjoyed by her um she actually had two books come out this year which one do you like more the dating planner single table oh it's a hard choice i might go with i like them both for different reasons honestly i need to think about that the name curse i read this book because it was about alaska and i love books about alaska and i wanted to read more so i could recommend more but landline was not for me i just it it was boring it was straight up boring it had this great premise that it could have been amazing but sadly did not deliver we have another testament books good lord how many disappearing books that i read this year either way this is tonight today tomorrow always it was good enough to finish and i'm sad to say that because this was like her vampire paranormal series which i loved the first book in it reborn yesterday it's like one of my favorites by her and one of my favorite romances of all time this last one was just kind of just meh it was okay the sweet spot by tristar this is actually the sequel to the float plan coming out this year it was good enough to finish it was okay i did not really like it nearly whoops nearly as much as um float plan that's just my personal opinion good girl complex another book that came out this year it was good enough to finish it was okay i couldn't tell anything and you know what no i'm gonna put a knot for me it was just kind of boring it was about this girl that's kind of like us that lives in the summertime like the summer like town that something like that obviously i can't tell you anything about it because i have no clue the party crasher by sophie can sell this was fine good fun like it was good it wasn't one of my favorite sophie gonzillo books but it was a solid one it was a good time nick and noel's christmas playlist not for me i both one of my least favorite books of the year because i just did not like the way it was written it was just it was boring just let's say it look boring that's how i felt hook line and seeker this is the sequel to it happened one summer this one is good enough to finish as well like it's sad to say i love the characters in it but it just it rambled on way too long like i wanted more from the characters yet it was written too long does that make any sense just how i feel another freaking tessa bailey book thor oh window shopping i really enjoy this one i'm gonna put in fiery fantastic i really liked it it was her christmas book and it was steamy didn't have a ton of plot but i still ended up liking it a ton it was just really cute and the last three books are all holiday books across country christmas swirly perfection this one solely surprised me like i was not expected to love this book as much as i did like it was a road trip book about second chance romance and it was just so heartwarming and holiday-ish that i just loved the mess out of it it was super cute totally surprised me the grump who stole christmas good enough to finish it was a holiday novella not much to it you could tell the title it's about a grump meet sunshine there you go actually no i don't think the main character was like a sunshine she was just like a business lady either way the mistletoe motive was fiery fantastic i really enjoyed that one another holiday um romance that a holiday bro no romance novella that was really cute i hate to love romance and i had a good time with it so there you have that is my you know tier list of all of the romance books that i read for the entire year i am somewhat okay with it i enjoy doing
