    To the Moon and Back by Melissa Brayden


    To the Moon and Back is the 7th Melissa Brayden novel I have read, and it quickly became one of my favourites. The relationship between stage manager Lauren Prescott and fallen movie star Carly Daniel was sweet, intense, and ultimately mature. I rooted for them throughout the story, and my heart ached for them as they worked out issues. There were plenty of plot twists, and while none were very unexpected, all worked perfectly for the story. The pacing was precise, and not once had anything felt rushed.

    Just Three Words (Soho Loft #2) by Melissa Brayden


    Of late, I’ve been reading a lot of wlw (women-loving-women) romance novels. Approximately 1-book-per-day kind of “a lot” for a month straight. Or not so straight. Must be a quarter-life crisis thing since I pretty much never read romance in the past. I have yet to read one fall-in-love-with-best-friend story. Until now.
