Tracey Livesay

I really liked getting into Nic's head and seeing her navigate all the things she has to as a Black woman working towards the highest heights of the medical profession. I loved Ben supporting her and challenging her notions of what her life has to be. Both have a set of ride or die friends that were great to spend time with and I loved the growth they both undergo in the story. I'm a big sucker for friends-to-lovers and this book executed it beautifully.

Love on My Mind is a story of a woman who works in PR who gets assigned to secretly assist an introverted computer genius navigate the public side of his business.

Adam Bennett was a genius and had a public launch of his tech company's product coming up. But during a previous press conference, he seriously bombed. So his CEO and best friend arranged for a PR firm to handle Adam. Under the condition that Adam never knows they were hired to work with him because he'd resist. Enter Chelsea. show more She's at the top of her game and looking to be promoted to partner. If she succeeds with Adam, she's guaranteed the parternship.

She arranged an "accidental" meeting with Adam and they are both instantly attracted to the other. But Chelsea has a job to do and as it turns out, Adam has a serious aversion to lies. He was hurt badly in the past by a woman who was using his success for her career and wants to avoid that happening again.

But Adam and Chelsea can't resist each other and soon fall in love. Chelsea vows to tell him the truth after his presentation. But he accidentally finds out on his own. They have to deal with the fallout of the truth and figure out where to go from there.

The story was a little slow starting out, but Adam and Chelsea ended up being SO cute. They made a great couple and I found myself smiling more and more as they fell more and more in love. I really enjoyed this. show less

I really enjoyed this and I was not expecting that at all. This was recommended to me but I wasn't sure I would like it because the pregnancy stuff but I ended up liking it a lot.

I didn't know anything about when it was first recommended to me. I rarely read the synopses of romance novels so I only found out about the unplanned pregnancy part of this when I read the back of the book after getting it from the library. I'm kind of happy I didn't read the synopses because I'm not sure I would show more have read this if I had. In this book we're following Mike who is the COO (I think?) of a very successful tech company and India, who is kind of a free spirit. They hooked up at a wedding and India got pregnant. Again, I wasn't sure about this set up but it ended up really working for me. I really liked the dynamics between Indi and Mike. Mike has a girlfriend throughout a lot of this book, which is another thing I sometimes dislike but that wasn't too annoying here. The dynamics with Mike's family also really worked for me. There were some conflicts that I didn't like as much but I really liked the romance overall.

I think the reason why this book worked for me even though it had things I dislike was the writing. This book sucked me right in. I briefly flipped through this coming back from the library and ended up reading almost the whole first chapter. Something about Livesay's writing style just really worked for me and allowed me to overlook some of the plot points that would normally bother me or things that seemed unrealistic. I think this book does have problems but because I was so sucked into the writing, they didn't bother me. I definitely want to go back and read the other two books in this series because I'm hoping I'll like them just as much. show less

Royal romances are my guilty pleasure, and I love when I find a diverse one. This was not accurate at all with British titles were used, or how the British university system was portrayed. But I was able to handwave that away because the story was that good and engrossing. Team Dani and Jameson! I'm glad there's going to be a sequel because this was awesome.
