This is a difficult review to write, because a lot of my 2017 reading emotions were tied up in this series. I've loved Alisha Rai's writing for a long time, but this series has had two heroines in therapy and a recurring refrain of "you deserve love" that's incredibly empowering and comforting to read. I could write a 10 page essay on this book, so how about I give you the highlights, instead?

Talia Hibbert is a contemporary romance author from the UK and her books have magically taken over my Twitter feed in the last few months. She lives up to the hype and happens to be hilarious as well. Read on for a super-official interview with her!

Jenny Holiday's latest book, ONE AND ONLY, starts a new series called Bridesmaids Behaving Badly. I loved it, so we asked Jenny to stop by and tell us a little about the book, what's next, and what she's been reading!
Alyssa Cole writes amazing novels across many subgenres and she deserves all the praise heaped upon her. A PRINCESS IN THEORY is grown up Princess Diaries written for all the women who've been waiting for a princess who looks like them. It's one of those books that everyone can and should love, but means so much more to black women that it really doesn't and shouldn't matter what I have to say. (I mean, I loved it and you should go buy/read it, but my analysis isn't going to be as good.)
Jenny Holiday's ONE AND ONLY is one of those books that leaves you smiling at the end. It's full of elements that are delightful on their own, but combined make something full of hope and joy and laughter. And hot sex. That, too. Jane is a YA fantasy author who cosplays Xena at one point in the book. XENA. This line is what got me to pick up the book, but I stayed for a bunch of reasons.
Spring is almost here! We're looking forward to March for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which are these lovely books.
