Thank you to Karina Halle and the team at the Reckless Readers Society for the advance reader copy of City of Darkness, the third instalment in the Underworld Gods series.

Helena Hunting’s If You Hate Me ARC Review
Thank you to Helena Hunting and her team for the advance reader copy of If You Hate Me, the first story in Helena’s brand new hockey series The Toronto Terror. When Helena began to tease her triumphant return to hockey romance, I could not be more excited for her to kick off a new series. I adore her hockey romances and am so excited to have a Toronto-set hockey romance. This book is perfect for existing and new fans of Helena’s work alike who want their hockey romance scorchingly hot but also laugh-out-loud funny. I am a Helena Hunting review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews.…

Tate James’ Hate Review
Thank you to Bloom Books and Raincoast Books for the Bloom re-release edition of Hate, the first book in the Madison Kate series. When Bloom announced they were picking this up I took it as the sign I was waiting for to dive into this series finally. I love a good why choose story every once in a while and I was ready to be whisked away into the world of Madison Kate and her boys. “Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight.” Those words changed my life, and not for the better. They were wrong, of course. I wasn’t dead. But I was set up. After being framed for a…

Lauren Asher’s Love Redesigned ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Asher, Bloom Books, and Raincoast for the advance reader copy of Love Redesigned, the first story in the Lakefront Billionaires series. I was super intrigued to dive into a new series from Lauren Asher. Once I had the ARC in my hands I was worried about the length. but I am here to tell you don’t dismay! Lauren Asher is so damn good at writing a quick, compelling yet chunky book. JulianIf I ever caught on fire, Dahlia Muñoz would fan the flames with a smile.So, when she returns to Lake Wisteria, I fully intend to avoid the interior designer.At least until my meddling mother exploits my…

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…

Lucy Score’s Things We Left Behind ARC Review
Thank you to Lucy Score, Bloom Books, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Things We Left Behind, the third book in the Knockemout series. I am all about honesty so I will let you know I have liked, but not loved the previous installments. Then I read Things We Left Behind, and wow this one is amazing. Lucy Score sure left the best couple for last and this book is a triumph! There was only one woman who could set me free. But I would rather set myself on fire than ask Sloane Walton for anything. Lucian Rollins is a lean, mean vengeance-seeking mogul. On a quest to…

Elsie Silver’s Flawless Review
Thank you to Elsie, Raincoast and Sourcebooks for the advance reader copy of Flawless, the traditional re-release of the first book in the Chestnut Springs series. I am so excited to help celebrate this book re-entering the world in this pretty pink package. I liked Flawless my first time though, the second time through just hit different. Maybe knowing the characters and this world better just made me appreciate this story even more. The rules were keep his hands off his agent’s daughter and stay out of trouble. But now he’s stuck with her. There’s only one bed. And well, rules are made to be broken. Rhett Eaton is the face…

Sophie Lark’s Stolen Heir Review
Thank you to Sophie Lark, Sourcebooks, Bloom Book, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of the re-release of Stolen Heir, the second interconnected standalone in the Brutal Birthright series. While I was reading Brutal Prince I was so excited to get in Nessa’s head. Once I found out that this installment was about her I was ecstatic. I was even more interested to get to read Sophie’s take on the classic mafia romance trope, kidnapping. They Murdered My Father, So I Stole Their Daughter… She’s my captive, my little ballerina who dances only for me. Nessa is sweet and innocent. She doesn’t deserve any of this. But that’s how…
