My Top Standalone Reads of 2019

Holy cow, this was much harder than I anticipated. I read SO many good books this year, so many. I combed through my blog, re-read my reviews, wrote out my top 20, then narrowed it down to a top 10. It was so hard, ya'll. So hard. This list is in NO particular order, but I do have a TOP READ of 2019 and I will talk it about it last. 

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

 Hush, Hush by Lucia Franco

Eleanor & Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

The Mother Road by Meghan Quinn

 In Peace Lies Havoc by Amo Jones

Heartbreak Warfare by Heather M. Orgeron

Manhattan by Kandi Steiner

Coming Up Roses by Staci Hart

Pretty Reckless by L.J. Shen

My absolute FAVORITE read of the year was 

Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan

Kennedy Ryan really blew me away with Long Shot. It's the one book I read this year that I haven't been able to get out of my mind. I think about it constantly, I gift it to people all the time, and I just really feel like it's such an important story that everyone needs to read. I haven't read a book like that in a long time, and it will definitely go down as one of my favorite books of all time.

I have reviewed all of these books here on the blog, and you should most definitely check out those reviews and see if any of them seem like something you would want to check out. They all come highly recommended. 

 There were 6 more books I had on my list that absolutely deserve a shout out and that you should also pick up and read. 

Be The Girl by K.A. Tucker

F*ck Marriage by Tarryn Fisher

That Second Chance by Meghan Quinn

Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas

A Place Without You by Jewel E. Ann

 5,331 Miles by Willow Aster

*Also want it to be known that Praying for Rain by BB Easton would have most definitely been in either this list or my next blog post for the top series/duets of the year, but the rest of the series isn't releasing yet, so I'm going to save it for next years list!*

"Sometimes you have to walk away from the fight in order to win it." Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike.

With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris- Morgan's husband, Clara's father, and the family anchor.

While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfor...

My Top Series/Duets of 2019

I had to make a whole blog post dedicated to the fantastic Series/Duets that I read this year. I'm not going to lie, I usually try to stay away from a book that has more than one read because I don't want to be committed to a series and then have to wait for the next piece to come out. These authors drew me in this year, they put out some fantastic work, and I actually didn't mind waiting, I anticipated it. They deserved a whole blog post dedicated to the fantastic work they put out this year! And if you love a good duet, or you love a good series, these are definitely the way to go! And I should also note, every one of these is fully released now, so you won't even have to wait like I did!  Just like my last post of my favorite reads of the year, these are in no particular order.  Brayshaw High Series by Meagan Brandy White Monarch Series by Jessica Hawkins Landon & Shay by Brittainy C. Cherry Hand Over My Heart Duet by Lindsey Iler  Pierced He...

Violent Delights

I have had a pretty crap day, but this book was really good, and there was a point in my day when the house when quiet, the baby was sleeping, and I wanted to take my mind off of things so I picked this book back up and started reading. I finished it pretty quickly, because it had me on the edge of my seat!  "For those who are deserving, I ask before I take. I feed those who feed me. I can't control how others interpret things, but I give honesty where I get it. You'll find me dead before you find me a liar." "In the de la Rosa family, old grudges run deeper than loyalty, and betrayal is the three-letter word: war. But this feud isn't between enemies. It's between brothers. And I'm the prize. I was born a princess among criminals. An untouchable among thieves. Heiress to a life others have killed for, and one I'm prepared to trade for my freedom. I vowed not to leave without Diego, my first love and best friend, but if his ruthless broth...
