📖 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!

A ruthless kingpin with an empire built on blood and vengeance, his every move is calculated cruelty. When he drags his secretary Gia Bennett into his warpath with an offer she can’t refuse, their marriage becomes the ultimate chess match—one where every glance, every word, and every touch is a weapon. Gia is fire hidden behind fragility, and watching her clash with Tate’s dark, unrelenting obsession is addictive. This isn’t the kind of romance that warms you—it burns, consuming both characters in equal measure. The forced proximity of their twisted marriage only fuels the tension, and b...
