Greetings, Noters!
I’m adding something new to my blogging endeavors ~ book reviews!
I’m taking a page out of Book Blogger Mystery heroine Winnie Lark’s book and trying my hand at sharing the wonderful stories I love. Descriptions and product links will be listed at the end of the feature ~ I won’t be spending my words recapping the book; I’m going to tell you why I loved it!
This is also a feature for content I want to champion and support; you won’t find me tearing down authors and their work here. That’s not my style. I’m all about bringing fun and joy to the world however I can, and this blog will be a place to celebrate the books that have done this for me. If you have comments, I’d love for you to share your thoughts, but please remember to be civil. Writing a book is really hard (I know, I’ve written twenty-two of them), and being negative or cruel is just…well, cruel. Comments that cross the line will be removed.
Now, with all those pesky ground rules out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff!
Without further ado…
Enemies Don’t
Leah Dobrinska
Fall in Love series
ENEMIES DON'T is absolute rom-com perfection. Author Leah Dobrinska has truly found her calling.
I've been a long-time fan of Dobrinska's writing, and with every release, she continues to wow me even more. How she does it, I have no clue!
ENEMIES DON'T is her best work yet. I loved every single moment. Noli and Collin come to life off the page; I could practically see their story unfold in my head. Their "situationship" step-up is unique and totally out there, but I was on board from the moment Noli suggests she fake dates Collin. I could return to this love story again and again whenever I need a little happily-ever-after in my life. There are some "heavy" moments sprinkled throughout, and to me, they made Noli's life and struggles all the more real. They also didn't detract or weigh down the lightness of the story. Dobrinska kindly prepares her audience for such situations with a well-written "trigger warning" that doesn't spoil the book at all.
With laugh-out-loud moments and a whole lotta heart, I have fallen head over heels for Cashmere Cove and its inhabitants, and I cannot wait to see what Dobrinska has in store for us next.
If you're a rom-com lover, this book (and series) is for you.

What’s the book about?
A heartfelt romantic comedy, loosely inspired by The Proposal.
Lost and guarded after getting out of a toxic relationship, Noli Kasper follows her older sisters to idyllic Cashmere Cove to get her life back on track. But when she’s pulled over on the way into town by a police officer who turns out to be her insufferable new boss, her dreams of an uncomplicated fresh start feel dead on arrival.
Collin Rattler has spent his whole life trying to live up to his cop dad’s expectations and reputation. Now, Collin has his sights set on earning the title of county sheriff—something even his father never accomplished. When early polls show Collin’s playboy habits are hurting his chances, his team makes a suggestion: settle down with a nice, respectable woman for the year leading up to the election to prove he can commit. The problem? Collin doesn’t do relationships.
Yet when he lets slip his team’s preposterous plan to Noli, a woman he finds as self-righteous and enigmatic as she is beautiful, he’s not sure what’s more shocking—that she offers to help him or that he finds himself falling for her in the process.
Noli has her own reasons for saying yes to Collin’s fake-dating proposal. And when her past won’t leave her alone, she finds herself relying on Collin, a man she thought she despised, to see her through. But it’s all just a temporary, mutually beneficial arrangement, right?
