Thank you to Devney and her team for the advance reader copy of Blitz, the second story in the Treasure State Wildcats series. Devney’s college football series which began with Coach is continued with Blitz and damn is this book dripping in forbidden. He’s a football coach and she’s a star volleyball player, they can not explore any sort of relationship. What ensues is a slow burn, with so much tension, and I will guarantee that any reader who likes a taste of forbidden will enjoy this one. I am a Devney Perry review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. A forbidden, small town, sports romance from Wall…

Thank you to Giana Darling and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of Serpentine Valentine. I have been excited about this book ever since Giana first teased it! All I have to tell you is that this is a dark academia, sapphic, Medusa retelling, that should be enough to get you to look at this twice. I loved this book, and even if you think it is not for you, trust me give it a try and get ready to be whisked away to Archeron University with Lex and Luna. From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Giana Darling comes a sapphic dark academia Medusa retelling about a…

Elle Kennedy’s The Graham Effect ARC Review
Thank you to Elle Kennedy, Bloom Books, and Raincoast for the advance reader copy of The Graham Effect, the story of Hannah and Garrett (The Deal)’s daughter and the start of second-generation stories from Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus/Briar U universe. It still doesn’t feel real that this is a real book! My favourite thing about this story was just how nostalgic the reading experience felt. But that nostalgia was balanced with an original story that all hockey romance fiends are going to love! Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women’s national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father’s shadow. So far, so good, except…

Nikki Sloane’s The Frat Boy ARC Review
Thank you to Nikki Sloane and Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of The Frat Boy, the fourth story in the Nashville Neighbourhood series. I binge-read the first three books in this series last December, so I jumped at the chance to review the conclusion of this fun and sexy series. Colin Novak is the big man on campus. Huge—if the rumors are to be believed. Nearly every girl at Davidson University has had a ride on him . . . everyone, except me. Which is fine. This frat boy may be irritatingly hot, all carved muscle with a deceptively wholesome smile, but that’s irrelevant. He’s a Sig. When I…

Kate Willoughby’s Darkroom ARC Review
Thank you to Kate Willoughby, Sarina Bowen, and the rest of the World of True North for the advance reader copy of Darkroom, the seventh story in the Moo U series. A classic trope, the virgin who is fed up carting around that card. She sets her sights on the man who will help her remedy her problem. How does he react? What will he do? You gotta read Darkroom to find out. Check out all my World of True North Reviews here. Check out the Goodreads synopsis… “Indi I’m not gonna lie, being a twenty-one-year-old virgin is ridiculously embarrassing, bordering on pitiful. And if there’s anything I hate, it’s being pitied.…
