It’s time for some more mini-reviews. During July I participated in the indie accords and read-only indie and self-published books. As much as I could I tried to write reviews of as many of them as I could. And while I am a little behind in writing them, I want to try and get them done soon. But I wanted to share some of them with you today. 

So here are a collection of mini-reviews of recent indie romances that I’ve read recently. I found some new favourites, an interesting start to a series, and a series that I am going back to read. Let’s get into it. 

Lovelight Farms (Lovelight #1) by B.K. Borison: I’ve been wanting to read this one for a little while. Ever since my best friend read it and loved it. So I knew I had to give it a go during the Indie Accords. And I am very happy to say that I loved it. I’m not a massive fan of contemporary romances that don’t have a sub-genre to them (sports romances, MC romances etc). But I really did enjoy it a lot.

It’s a sweet romance, with a fake dating and friends-to-lovers trope. It just all worked so well here. I just wanted to hug all the characters in this one. They just needed it. I really enjoyed Stella as our protagonist. She was really fantastic and I loved seeing her grow throughout the book.

I’m really looking forward to reading the rest of the series because I can’t wait to see them all fall in love.

Resurrection (The Sainthood – Boys of Lowell High #1) by Siobhan Davis: I’ve been wanting to start this series for a while now, and I was in the mood for it recently. There isn’t much of a romance here in the first book. There is a lot of tension, and sexy times but not a lot of love at the moment. I’m pretty okay with it, especially because of the dark elements of the book.

I can’t really pinpoint why I didn’t love the book, but a few things that I noted. I wasn’t a massive fan of the writing style, it was chunky at times and that took me away from the book. The ups and downs of the relationship just weren’t moving anything along and I wanted more from them. There were some pretty important events that happened, during and before the book and I felt that they were just brushed over. And sometimes not bought up for a little while again.

Still, I will be continuing the series, because I’m still pretty intrigued by it all, and I want to see how it’s all played out. I want to see how they all get together, I want to see who breaks first. I’m looking forward to everything coming together as well.

Last on the List (Wait With Me #5) by Amy Daws: I’ve been wanting to read this one for a little while now. And I was in the mood for a contemporary romance and this was it. 

I really did enjoy reading this one. It’s a fun read and made me smile so many times. It was a little more ‘silly’ at times than I would like, but I still enjoyed reading it. 

The romance was a mix of a slow burn but also moved quickly. And I did enjoy that. I do wish we were able to see them a little more together. It was like, there is a lot of tension. Then lots of sexy signs, but not a lot of mundane things. And while it’s not a massive deal, I still enjoyed it. 

This was a great read overall, and now I’m going to go back and read the rest of the series.

And there we go. Those are some reviews of recent indie romances that I read. Have you read any of these? Have you read anything by these authors? What did you think of them? Let’s Chat!
