Contemporary Romance

I had the huge honor of beta reading Faker by Sarah Smith, and I can tell you right now… it was utterly delightful even in its infancy. But the final, polished, published version? 😍 Guys, gals, and NBs… It. Is. To. Die. For. No, but seriously. Smith’s voice is gripping and witty and takes you on a romantic journey of enemies to lovers that’ll leave your heart melting into a simmering puddle of starry-eyed goop.

However, Love Repaired really, really hit it home for me. Out of all her novels, this is by far the cream of the crop.
