The Woman with All the Answers by Linda Green
Ever wonder how Alexa works? Check out this book. ;) This would work better for middle-aged and above women.

The Lost Song of Paris by Sarah SteeleMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Two lovely stories from Amazon Original's 'The Improbable Meet-Cute' series. These are the only two stories worth reading in the entire collection.1. Worst Wingman Ever by Abby Jimenez
Didn't expect this to be so emotional, but it suited my mood perfectly. My favourite of the series.

2. The Exception to the Rule by author duo Christina Lauren
This was a bit too YA for my liking, but it was still quite good, especially as half of it is epistolary. Only one writing decision turned me off.

Finding Serenissima by Apple Gidley.
Didn't expect so much romance in this book with a senior citizen in the lead, but it might work for those who like destination love stories.
