๐Ÿ“š My Next 4 Reads โ€“ Romance & Suspense Edition ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ”

I just stocked up on some new books, and I can already tell Iโ€™m in for a ride with these! A mix of romance, drama, and mysteryโ€”exactly what I love. Hereโ€™s whatโ€™s on my TBR:

โœจ The Neighbor Favor โ€“ Kristina Forest

A bookish woman unknowingly befriends her favorite reclusive author online, only to meet him IRL when he moves in next door. A love story wrapped in letters and second chances? Sign me up!

๐Ÿ’ The Partner Plot โ€“ Kristina Forest

Fake marriage? Vegas? Sparks flying? This has all the makings of a tropey masterpiece. Canโ€™t wait to see how this one plays out!

๐Ÿšจ Mondayโ€™s Not Coming โ€“ Tiffany D. Jackson

Switching it up with some suspense. A girlโ€™s best friend goes missing, but no one seems to notice except her. I already know this is going to hit hard.

๐ŸŽญ The Love Con โ€“ Seressia Glass

A reality TV cosplay competition + fake dating = a guaranteed fun time! Plus, I love seeing plus-size heroines get their happily ever afters.

Which one should I start first? Drop your recs below! โฌ‡๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฌ
