It's Raining Men by Julie Hammerle

Thank you for the author and Grey's Promotions for giving me an ARC to read and review!


I really liked the cover of the book. I think this kind of covers are popular these days in rom-coms, at least it seems that way, because so often you see them. But yeah, the cover of the book is nice. The blurb seemed promising, too. 

Dr. Annie Kyle sent a drunken text to all men in her contacts. The text stated that she's more than ready to get married and is looking for a husband to share her rare moments of outside of work. She's a doctor and her work is her priority. She gets few answers, but there's also someone else in the picture.

This is a age-gap romance, which I didn't know. I usually don't read those, but this time it was okay. And that's how I feel towards the whole book, it's okay. 

Some scenes felt unreal and I hated Annie's relationship with her best friend. I was furious, it seemed unhealthy and childish considering that these characters are in their forties. In my opinion we didn't get to see these characters to solve these problems. I would have liked to see, how they got to the point where they were at the end of the book.

Annie's dates with different men left me with a question why she actually went to the dates. After the beginning I was a bit afraid that this will be a love triangle book, but luckily it isn't one. 

The things I liked in this book. The first POV. The trigger warning in the beginning of the book. Joanne. Dax. The trivia-moments. 

After all, this is a fast read with some good moments. You can easily pass time with this book, it won't leave you with a book hangover.

Broken Hearts by Rebecca Jenshak

Thank you for Valentine PR for giving me an ARC to read and review.


I have read Rebecca Jenshak's books before, at least one or two of them. But I have not read any previous books of Campus Nights -series, which would have been great, because one of the things that frustrated me while reading were the side characters.

I liked the blurb of this book. I had high hopes. I really love sports romance -books. But in some ways this book just wasn't for me. This was a fast read, but I didn't feel the connection with the book. The drama felt forced for me. 

The side characters. There were so many of them. After a while I stopped even trying to understand who's dating who and who's related to who. It felt a bit messy, but maybe reading the books in order you have known the characters beforehand. 

The things I liked in this book. The sports aspect was great. I loved how much they really spent time with their sports. You can call this a sports romance, because there really are sports in this book. I liked Sienna's name and adored her best friend. 

I really wanted to love this book and I feel sad, that I don't.
