RECOMMENDED: The Bride Test by Helen Hoang is $1.99! I loved this book so much and gave it an A-:
The Bride Test is so beautiful and Hoang was right when she said it was impossible not to love Esme. She’s tenacious and battles against her fear of failure, of judgement, and of her own self-doubt, to become this confident and self-assured woman. This Bride Test has only solidified my love for Hoang’s romances; they are truly a gift to the genre.

Justin Wiley assumed the role of Earl of Brandon six years ago. In that time his stepsister, Maria, has been living at one … Continue reading Someone Perfect by Mary Balogh

This HaBO request is from Kelsey, who wants to find this contemporary romance: Looking for help finding a book that I saw on Instagram. It was being promoted by the author.
