A total page-turner, I adored Business or Pleasure for its hilarious premise and modern approach to sexuality.
In the contemporary romance genre, too many stories shy away from women taking an assertive role in the bedroom, but Solomon’s lead in Chandler inspired me to re-examine what spicy scenes should look like in my books and others.
The chemistry between the leads and the organic progression of their feelings is a masterclass in how to develop a romance worth binging. The trope of “bedroom lessons” has never been as good as the execution in this book, wholly focused on pleasure and the natural integration of safe sex discussions without feeling unrealistic.
This is a 10/10, fun read that’ll have readers gasping, laughing, and engaging with the source material.

Ashley Poston’sThe Dead Romantics balanced the comedy of its premise (a woman who can see the dead and helps them) with emotional storylines revolving around guilt, loss, and the remembrance of things past.
The main character, Florence, takes the reader on a journey of rediscovering her passion for life and her power, which correlated closely with the journey I wrote for January in my book. As a central theme in the book, the power of grief to control and paralyze us is a truth the book tackles with such grace and heart.
I found myself break out into tears while reading and highly recommend for people interested in my books or a fantastic book generally.
