In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren
Holiday, Friends to Lovers Romance
October 6, 2020
Maelyn is spending the holidays at a cabin in Utah with her family and friends. Only she wakes up the morning after Christmas having kissed her long-time friend, NOT his brother whom she’s had a massive crush on since she was a teen.
That morning kicks off a time loop where she’s stuck reliving the same vacation giving her a chance to right the past.
It’s never too early to start reading holiday romances and this one was super cute with such a neat twist. My Review
I Promise You by Ilsa Madden-Mills
New Adult, College Football Romance
October 12, 2020
Dillon McQueen is Waylon University’s hot shot quarterback who’s just trying to make it to the NFL. He didn’t anticipate running into the quirky girl he kissed at the freshman bonfire who’s since haunted his every waking thought. She’s not his type, so why can’t he stop trying to win her?
OMG I’ve loved each and every one of Ilsa Madden-Mills Waylon romances and I can’t wait to get my hands on Dylan’s story!
Take a Number by Amy Daws
Fake Relationship Romance
October 15

Code Name: Rook by Sawyer Bennett
Suspense Romance
October 27, 2020

Rock Star Romance
October 6, 2020
It’s her job to keep Hush Note’s lead guitarist on the straight and narrow now that he’s out of rehab. This could make or break her career or it may just make or break her heart.

Let’s just say that this cover may have had an influence in why this book was added to the list but I love the idea behind this enemies to lovers story.

October 20, 2020
Miller is hockey’s most eligible bachelor. When he agrees to donate one date to his teammate’s charity auction, he didn’t expect his dream girl to be the highest bidder. Now he only has one chance to make her his.
