☆ heiress X bodyguard
☆ ex-mafia
I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for Cordelia and Victor’s story and it didn’t disappoint.
Cordelia is such a loveable FMC. She’s neurodivergent, like me, which was refreshing. It’s always nice when you can see yourself in the characters you read about.
Victor is an amazing MMC. He loves Cordelia exactly as she is and doesn’t want her to change anything about herself and I just love that.
This book was definitely worth the wait and I can’t wait for Snow White’s story!

☆ workplace romance
☆ forbidden romance
☆ he falls first
This has been one of my most anticipated books of the year and it went beyond my expectations. I absolutely loved this.
I think this may be my favourite of all of Ali’s books.
I adore Rue and Eli as a couple. Their chemistry is fantastic and I love that they actually talk things through like adults.
They act their age which is something that I really need in a book.
I’m 30. I can’t enjoy something if the characters, that are around my age, are acting like they’re in high school.
Rue was extremely relatable to me. Terrible brother and likes to be alone.
Eli was kind and sweet and called people out for saying ‘girl’ instead of ‘woman’ which I LOVED!

Hazel and Jareth instantly had chemistry and I wanted them together so bad!
Very fun read. It had great spice and a little mystery thrown in there.
Some parts felt a little long but I enjoyed the characters so it wasn’t too hard to get through.
Can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.

☆ Small town romance
☆ Hot librarian
☆ Fresh start
This book was everything I wanted! I’ve been struggling to find a book to get into lately and this one cured me. Finished it in a day and absolutely loved it.
I loved every single character and the chemistry between Jo and Felix is so, so good.
Pacing was great, the side characters were all very fun and likeable and there was a perfect amount of spice.
I really enjoyed this book. Can’t wait to read more from this author.
