Here is a list of the books I loved, my top book boyfriends and then my recommended reading list! I hope you find something you like.
My favorite type of books are dark romance books with bad boys that are anti-heroes, cocky, alpha men that don’t turn in to softies when they fall in love. Well that, and basically anything that pushes you to sit outside your comfort zone. I have a little bit of everything in these list though.
I update this page frequently so check back often!
Enjoy,
Heather P.
