My favorite read of the month was Night Unbound (Immortal Guardians #5) by Dianne Duvall. I loved both Lisette and Zach. It was such a sweet, yet suspenseful story. I didn’t really have a least favorite because I liked everything I read (and reread) this month. Now I just have to find another Dianne Duvall. Any suggestions?

I read many books by Nathan Lowell in May and enjoyed them all; some were rereads, others were new to me. I also enjoyed the contemporary male/male romance Charles: Learning to Love by Con Riley. This was a slow burn and had a lot more depth than many romances I’ve read.
Any book I didn’t care for I abandoned.
I read 14 books in May. My favorite was Katie Golding’s FALLING FOR THE ENEMY, an antagonists-to-lovers romance with a “You’ve Got Mail” element. Very nicely done. I didn’t read any books that I actively disliked.
In May, I read the latest releases by Julia Quinn (a graphic novel), Sarah Morgan and Rachel Gibson. Sarah Morgan is always a good read, but Rachel Gibson’s book was sort of sad. It had some of her signature humor, but the ending was rather unsatisfactory.
I liked Emily Henry’s Book Lovers and Abby Jimenez’s Part of Your World
I read a lot last month I think the top ones were Sabrina Jeffries’ A Duke For Diana, Grace Burrowes’ Never a Duke, and Bethany Bennett’s Duke’s Do It Better. Nothing really stands out as disappointing.
Amazing job ladies! Happy June!
worst book and cover: Buried by C.J. Carmichael
Sparring Partners by John Grisham was interesting
