1. 

P.S. It's Always Been You by Lauren Blakely

Lauren Blakely always makes it to my lists, her books are filled with great storylines and this book in particular had me intrigued from the very start. It has everything, from romance to solving a mystery that turns out to be a great adventure for the main characters. It was a fun read that I would highly recommend.💖🌎

2.

The Breaking Season by K.A. Linde

I loved K.A. Linde's Cruel Series last year and I couldn't wait to read this year's Seasons Series. The Breaking Season is the perfect marriage of convenience story between two Upper East Side villains, Katherine and Camden (characters that we are introduced to in the Cruel Series). It's steamy, romantic and it has a great ending! 🔥😍

4.

Royally Screwed by Emma Chase

I've been meaning to read this book for a while and didn't disappoint at all. Great royal romance with a great twist in the end. 👑😍

5.

The Ruthless Knight by Jeana E. Mann

This was a much darker story, full of suspense, mystery and lots of secrets. It definitely has some very interesting moments between the characters as they face the Columbia cartel and they have to rely on each other to make it out alive. It's a rollercoaster of emotions from beginning to end. Would highly recommend checking it out! 🔥

7.

My Brother's Roommate by Kendall Ryan

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Kendall Ryan, her stories are always sweet and full of emotions. Everyone is going to fall in love with Wolfie, he is a kind and totally swoon worthy!

8.

Van by Melanie Moreland

I couldn't decide between Van or Sandy to add to my list, so I have added both for different reasons. Van completely stole my heart, he has so much love to give and out of all the books that I've read this year, he is the best hero/male protagonist by far. I would highly recommend checking out the Vested Interest Series, you are not going to regret it! 💞

9.

Mafia Casanova by M. Robinson and Rachel Van Dyken

I love a good mafia romance and Mafia Casanova was favorite this year! It had me hooked from the very start, the characters are magnetic and have an undeniable chemistry to have you reading until the very end.

10.

Sandy by Melanie Moreland

This book surprised me in the best way possible, it was emotional and heartwarming. I can't say how many time I might have cried while reading, it was such perfect. You do need to read the rest of the Vested Interest Series to get a full grasp of Sandy's story and how she got to where she is. But you are going to love it, this book concludes the whole series and it does perfectly. I wouldn't change anything about it and the ending was everything. A must read! 😍

A sweeping, second chance standalone romance!

I was pretty good at living without regrets until a way too close call during a skydive. Instead of my life flashing before my eyes, I saw one face, one regret that’s been gnawing at me ever since—Presley. The woman I loved madly ten years ago. The woman I had to walk away from.

At first, all I want is to sort out why I can’t get her out of my head. But as soon as I see Presley again, I know I have to win her back at any cost. Brilliant, captivating and utterly beautiful, she’s the one I want.

Fate steps in when we’re asked to pair up to find a treasure in art and antiques. It’s an opportunity I can’t pass up—to uncover a path back to the woman I let get away while we chase down a love story a hundred years in the making.

Trouble is, Presley is tougher now, more wary, and she’s been hurt. By me. So it's going to take a whole lot more than one hot kiss and a wild adventure together to convince her to give me a second chance.

My Review:

“There are some chances that only pass your way once, and you have to grab them. Seize them, clutch them, and hold them tenaciously with all your might.”

P.S. It’s Always Been You was such a captivating second chance romance that will take you on an adventure of a lifetime.

As a former paratrooper with the US Army, thirty-seven year old Hunter Armstrong is not afraid of pushing his limits while exploring or going on survival expeditions. It’s in his blood to be an explorer and when presented with a life changing opportunity, he doesn’t hesitate to say yes. Even if it meant ending his relationship with Presley. Now ten years later, he is a famous author and host of an adventure series. He has been successful at everything he puts his mind to, yet when faced with an almost death situation during a skydive that could have gone wrong he recalls the one person he left behind. Regret fills him and feels the need to come back to New York to get her back. Fate had other plans for him the minute they’re asked to work together while sorting through antiques from a famous explorer family. Little did they know that the project would prove to be the start of their own romantic adventure.

Presley Turner is an art historian working as a curator for a prominent auction house. Although she has been working really hard to be good at what she does, she still has a long way to go when it comes to having success in the publishing world. It’s even more frustrating to see her ex, the one who hurt her ten years ago be all over billboards around town. He has found his success and she is not going to let him get in the way of hers. Presley is shocked to see Hunter back and she can’t believe she is going to be working with him. Yet, the minute they get to work it’s like going back in time when they used to dream about exploring and being together. Now they have to chase down a love story while they figure out if they can still save theirs.

It’s no secret that I love anything by Lauren Blakely, her stories are so full of life and feels. P.S. It’s Always Been You was no different, it was truly a story that had me reading nonstop until the very end. We get to meet Hunter, an explorer who has his own exploring series and it completely reminded me of Josh Gates (from an actual tv series Exploration Unknown). I fell in love with Hunter, he loves a good adventure and his chemistry with Presley is undeniable. They both compliment each other, while she loves a good book, Hunter loves the outdoors, yet they both are able to work together really well. But there are still things that they need to work on in order to make things work and the final result will leave you wanting for more. The story was beautifully written, I loved all the clues that they needed to figure out and the love letters that will ultimately bring them together. All in all, the story was great and if you love a good adventure full of romance then I would highly recommend checking out this book and any others by the author! :)
