It's time to announce my top reads of 2018.
2018 was full of many amazing reads! I read 101 books this year, and broke down my favorites to 15.
* Crowned With Guilt and Cleansed With Fire by S.K. Rose. I LOVED these books! Such amazing emotional YA/NA romance reads!
* The Wrong Blaze by Meagan Brandy. If you love angst with your romance then you will love this!
* Midnight Blue, Bane, and Dirty Headlines by LJ Shen. She is the queen of writing assholes. Bane continues the Sinners of Saints series of standalones, and Midnight Blue is a Rockstar romance, and Dirty Headlines is a workplace romance.
*The Royals series by Erin Watt. More YA/NA angsty romance filled with drama.
*A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J Maas. I loved returning to the fae world she beautifully created.
*Dawson Family Series by Emily Goodwin. Best friends younger sister? Check. Surprise pregnancy? Check. And a huge loving family? Double check. And that is just book 1 & 2! Book 3 follows a con artist nanny, working for a cop.
*The Bishop Brothers series by Kennedy Fox. Seriously, if you love southern romances these are for you!
* The Texting series by Teagan Hunter. I love these romantic comedies so much! Let's Get Textual is a romance that began with a text from a wrong number. I Wanna Text You Up is a roamnce between roommates. And Can't Text This is a teacher and her student's stingle dad.
*Violent Circle series and Jilted series by S.M. Shade. Scarlet Toys, Frat House, and Clean Start are all laugh out loud romantic comedies that are a must read. Duplicity and Feracity is a Rockstar romance with a twist.
*Heartbreak Warfare by Heather M Orgeron & Kate Stewart. Such a emotional read beginning to end.
*Limelight by Alyson Santos. An emotionally charged rockstar romance.
*I Dare You by Shantel Tessier is another YA/NA romance filled with drama beginning to end.

* The Wild Ones series by CM Owens. Another romantic comedy about a small town filled with crazy fun.
*Someone Else's Ocean by Kate Stewart. Another great emotional read.
*Dirty Deeds series by J. Daniels. Absolutely loved Four Letter Word (another wrong number text book), Hit the Spot (enemies to lovers), and Bad For You (friends to lovers/single parent romance).
*Voyuer by Fiona Cole. Talk about a steamy student teacher romance.
*Broken by Ellie Messe. Okay so this was one of last year's favorites, but I did reread it this year and still honestly love it! Plus, Famished came out this year (I haven't grabbed my copy yet, but I cannot wait to jump into it for 2019!)
Honerable Mentions:
*Four Day Fling by Emma Hart. Another romantic comedy of what happens when you bring a one night stand to your sisters wedding.
*We Are The Stars by Teagan Hunter. Another great YA/NA romance.
*Rhapsodic by Laura Thalassa. A YA/NA urban fantasy novel.
*Miss and Gent by Harloe Rae. A couple great small town romances.
