Welcome to Serene Reads & Dramatic Escapes by Moushmi!
Hey there! I’m Moushmi. This is my little space on the internet where I talk about books that feel like soft escapes or dramatic whirlwinds—sometimes both at once. If you enjoy stories that blend humor with heart (and occasionally make you crave noodles mid-chapter), you’ll feel right at home here.

Blog Overview:
My page is all about exploring stories that make you feel whether that’s heart-fluttering romance, soul-soothing comfort reads, or the kind of emotional journeys that stick with you long after you turn the last page. Today we’re heading back to the Windy City series with The Right Move by Liz Tomforde and honestly, I loved it even more than book one. This is a story that blends roommates-to-lovers, slow burn romance, and off-the-charts chemistry in a way that kept me glued to the pages.
Summary of the Book:
Indy (Indiana, Blue, Baby) is moving on from a painful breakup after discovering her boyfriend of six years cheated on her. With her guard up and her heart bruised, the last thing she expects is to move in with Ryan Shay a star basketball player with his own emotional scars.
What starts as a roommate arrangement quickly builds into an undeniable bond. Ryan shows his love through quiet acts of care, while Indy learns to slowly let him in. Their journey is filled with banter, vulnerability, and eventually… a lot of heat.
Review:
Some books just make you smile without even realizing it. The Right Move was one of those for me. I went in expecting a fun romance, but Ryan Shay and Indy completely stole my heart and honestly, I think I loved this even more than the first book in the Windy City series.
From the moment they became roommates, you could feel this quiet pull between them. Not the loud, dramatic kind — more like an invisible thread that kept tugging them closer. Their connection isn’t just about attraction (though, trust me, there’s plenty of that). It’s in the way Ryan notices the little things about Indy, how he’s there without needing to make a big show of it.
Ryan’s not perfect he’s carrying his own scars — but the way he shows up for Indy feels real. And Indy? After having her trust broken in a six-year relationship, she’s understandably guarded. Watching her start to lower those walls and let him in was such a soft, satisfying part of the story.
Now, about the spice… Liz Tomforde takes her time with these two, so when things finally heat up, it’s really worth the wait. It’s that perfect balance of slow burn and high heat enough to make you grin and maybe blush a little.
If I’m being honest, the last part of the book dragged a tiny bit for me, but I didn’t mind because the emotional payoff hit all the right notes. The way they handled their fears, their pasts, and their love for each other just felt… right.
And that epilogue? Pure happiness. I closed the book feeling like I’d just spent time with friends I didn’t want to say goodbye to.
Quote from the book:
“His quiet love. It’s always the loudest.”
