READ THE S SERIES ON GALATEA

After successfully extorting her evil mother, Sophie Callahan takes her hard-earned money and jets off to Australia with a one-year tourist visa, backpack, and a brand-new master's degree. Her solo travel plans are almost immediately shaken by the stunning and temporarily penniless Evan Flaherty, who finds his way onto Sophie's Airbnb couch and into her (formerly) cold, dead heart. 

Sophie and Evan's whirlwind romance soon encounters a problem greater than the barrier reef: Evan's visa is about to expire, but Sophie's vacation has just begun. As Soph and Ev prepare themselves to beat the long-distance odds, a sudden tragedy disrupts their lives in a way they never could have imagined.

Rory & Nell: Please come home by Nika_Kostova

As Nell recovers from the loss of her mom, her Dad's depression, and a string of failed relationships, Rory has remained her one reliable constant. He is not only her dad's best friend, but also the harbor she comes home to when life gets tough. That unique bond gets put to the test when Nell develops feelings for Rory that go a little deeper than he can allow. Their difference in age, their entangled lives, and the judgement of their closely-connected families stand in the way of their happiness. And risking the love they already share for a more intimate kind of love seems to be too much of a gamble. Possible trigger topics: grief, mentions of depression, age gap, explicit language Vibes: sweet, wholesome, family ties, comedic & dramatic

Hooked on love by Befransorr

But it's not as easy as the books say, I'll tell you that. I learned that as I turned 20 years old." ~ "Nice, very original," he sticks his tongue out at me. "Carry on and I'll bite it," I shove him with my shoulder. He looks at me with surprise in his eyes as if I've just said something taboo. "What?" My eyes widen as I recall what I just said, did I just? "Yeah, never thought I'd hear something like that slip out of your mouth!" "You'll be surprised what I can slip in," I immediately cover my mouth with my hand. What's wrong with me?! ~ Ava wood dreams of travelling, ever since she was a little girl she's wanted to explore the wold, especially with her best friend, Nick. Everything seemed perfect in her life, until she meets Jackson. With friendships on the line, a new life a head and a new guy in the mix, how will Ava cope with it all?

With odd family traditions, blind dates, steamy vacations, and a few jealous men, things are about to get bumpy. So sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride, because it'll be a long one! - Harassenger: Backseat Admirer by autumnkeely - Sneakpeek quote from novel: "The question isn't if you can see your future with me; you can picture your life with anyone. The question is this: is the future you see with me the one you want, and the one you deserve?" #1 in Heartwrenching #4 in Deception #9 in Beach #149 in ChickLit *WOAH!

After a highly contagious disease caused the downfall of mankind as they know it, married couple Sophia and Tom were forced to leave their home and seek a way to survive in more than ever unforgiving conditions, scavenging for food, collecting rainwater, migrating to the south for the winter, and fending off both hostile survivors and dangerously aggressive Infected. Being nomads made for rather unpleasant interactions with settled communities and pushed them into complete isolation. Their relationship grew each day more bitter, binding them only through the sheer inability to let go of life, no matter how brutal or dreadful it got. Unexpected sudden encounters will make them question their past, feelings, and motivations, as they navigate the ruins of their sense of self and of their close-to-failing marriage. "[...] in any case, destiny, or whatever higher power acting upon them, had a splendid way of forcing self and mutual reflection for the umpteenth time in about two weeks."
