📣 What’s the Hype Wednesday: The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy

-

If you love Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus and Briar U series, then buckle up—because The Charlie Method is here, and it’s messy, spicy, and everything readers are obsessing over.

📖 What’s It About?

Charlotte “Charlie” Kingston is living a double life. By day, she’s the picture-perfect sorority girl and STEM student trying to meet her overachieving family’s expectations. By night, she’s a rule-breaking daredevil chatting with two anonymous hotties on a dating app.

Enter Will Larsen and Beckett Dunne—two Briar U hockey players with a few secrets of their own (yep, those kinds of secrets 👀). Will’s congressman father wants to protect his reputation, Beckett’s hiding emotional scars, and neither of them expects Charlie to be the girl behind the screen. But once fantasy meets reality, things get steamy fast, and the three of them are forced to face what they really want—and what happens when lust starts to look a lot like love.

🔥 Why It’s Hyped:

  1. Elle Kennedy. Hockey. College. Chaos.
  2. A strong, complicated FMC leading a double life
  3. Two hot hockey guys with emotional baggage and tension galore
  4. One steamy love triangle with secrets, hookups, and fallout
  5. Briar U is back, and so is the drama

☕ Final Verdict:

I love hockey romance, and Elle Kennedy is one of my go-to authors—I’ve really enjoyed the Campus Diaries series overall. But this book just didn’t hit for me the way I hoped it would. I wanted to love it so badly, but it fell a little flat and didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. That said, it might totally work for you—so if you’ve read it (or plan to), let me know your thoughts!

📖 Favorite Friday: My Top 5 Romance Reads: (So Far This Year) 💘 1. Betting on You by Lynn Painter Why I loved it:  I loved how this book felt like a full-on rom-com, it was funny, heartfelt, and impossible to put down. Bailey and Charlie’s relationship completely won me over, especially the way he truly saw her & her little nickname for her "Glasses" . With so many twists and turns, I devoured it in just a few hours! Favorite Quote:  “When you’re in the room, every single cell in my body – every nerve, every muscle, every breath – is lost in you.”  💘 2. Throttled by Lauren Asher (One of My Favorite Authors! Also #1 in Series) Why I loved it: This was my first Formula 1 romance, and I know there probably aren’t many out there! Noah is kind of a mess, but he’s got such a good heart. He’s also Maya’s brother’s teammate (and not exactly his biggest fan), which makes things very complicated. Everyone warns her to stay far away, but of course, she can’t. Watching their r...

Let’s talk about two romances that bring enemies, lies, and longing to a whole new level. If you’re into emotional chaos (with a happy ending, of course), these two belong on your TBR: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 💘 Enemies with Benefits / Forbidden Romance 📖 Twisted Hate by Ana Huang Rating : 5/5 ⭐ 💭 I read Twisted Hate in one sitting—couldn't put it down. Josh Chen is pure chaos and I loved every second. Jules and Josh can’t stand each other—but they also can’t stay away. She’s a fiery law student. He’s a cocky future doctor (and her best friend’s brother 😬). When they agree to a no-strings “enemies with benefits” arrangement, things get messy fast . Sharp banter, sizzling tension, and surprising emotional depth make this one totally unputdownable. Favorite Quote: "You drive me crazy, Red." He cupped my face, his voice low and rough. "But I'd go insane wi...

A Second Chance at Love: Love and Other Words Review

  This book made me cry in public. Twice. If you believe in second chances and soulmates, Love and Other Words will leave a mark. Title: Love and Other Words Author: Christina Lauren Genre: Contemporary Romance Pages: 450 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Some books don’t just tell a love story — they take your heart, break it, and carefully stitch it back together. Love and Other Words did exactly that. If you’ve ever had a first love you couldn’t forget, or wondered what might’ve happened if things had gone differently... this one’s for you.  After more than a decade apart, childhood sweethearts Macy and Elliot reconnect by chance. As they slowly rebuild trust, they’re forced to revisit the heartbreak that tore them apart — and the love that never really went away. Told in a dual timeline style, this story explores the power of words, memory, and unfinished love. I adored how strong Macy and Elliot's feelings for eachother were. Their connection from friendship to young love was be...
