✨ What’s the Hype Wednesday: October Spotlight ✨

Fall is here, the mugs are warm, and my TBR is stacked! For this month’s spotlight, I’m buzzing about thrillers, steamy sports romance, and even a special edition cover I had to snag. Here’s what’s brewing in October:

📖 October 7th – The Intruder by Freida McFadden

A chilling domestic thriller from the queen of twists—I know I’ll be clutching my coffee while flipping these pages. Perfect spooky-season vibes!

📖 October 28th – Breathe With Me (Playing for Keeps #5) by Becca Mack

A return to Becca Mack’s heartfelt, emotional sports romance world. I’m so ready for the feels (and the swoon-worthy athletes!).

📖 October 28th – The Defender (Gods of the Game #2) by Ana Huang

Ana + sports romance? Yes, please. After The Idol, I’ve been hyped for more of this series—bring on the drama, angst, and heat.

📖 October 30th – Mile High (Windy City #1) Special Edition by Liz Tomforde

Okay, I might be late to the party, but I couldn’t resist grabbing this gorgeous edition. Sometimes it’s all about the right cover for the collection ✨.

🍂 October Spotlight Coffee Pairings

Rich chocolate with a spicy cinnamon kick — perfect for a twisty thriller that keeps you on edge.

📖 Breathe With Me (Playing for Keeps #5) by Becca Mack (Oct 28)

Pairing: Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso 🍯🥛
Smooth, slightly sweet, and full-bodied. It’s warm and comforting, but strong enough to stir up emotions — just like Becca Mack’s heartfelt romances.

📖 The Defender (Gods of the Game #2) by Ana Huang (Oct 28)

Equal parts espresso and warm milk — bold yet balanced. The kind of coffee that mirrors Ana Huang’s mix of passion, intensity, and tenderness in her sports romance.

📖 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...

📚☕ Two for Tuesday: Tropes That Bring the Heat

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...
