Thank you to Lauren Blakley and her team for the advance reader copy of Puck Yes, the second story in the My Hockey Romance series. This one just did not hit for me.

I am a Lauren Blakely review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. The hotshot new hockey player, the veteran team captain, and the woman they fall for when she becomes the new team mascot in a fake marriage hockey rom com! When my ex…

Lauren Blakely’s The Tease ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakely and the team for the advance reader copy of The Tease, the third story in The Virgin Society series. This one just wasn’t for me. I have been enjoying the series so far but just found I was not attached to the characters and that it was a bit of a trope overload. I am a Lauren Blakely review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. I swear I’m a good girl. I didn’t go to the exclusive, after-hours masquerade to kiss my dad’s best friend. I didn’t even know who the masked man was when he touched me like I was…

Lauren Blakely’s Double Pucked ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakley and her team for the advance reader copy of Double Pucked, out June 5, 2023. This book is two things I have been dying to see Lauren Blakley write: a hockey romance and a why choose! I knew Lauren’s style would suit the Lily Gold type of book, and this sure delivered. It is so much fun and definitely a great place to start for readers who are starting their journeys into reading throuples/triads/poly relationships. I am a Lauren Blakely review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. A jilted book nerd, a plan for sweet revenge, and the two hockey stars…

Lauren Blakley’s Limited Edition Husband ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakely and her team for the advance reader copy of Limited Edition Husband, the fourth story in the Winner Takes All series.

Lauren Blakely’s The Tryst ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakely and her team for the advance reader copy of The Tryst, the second book in The Virgin Society Series. I really enjoyed this instalment! Lauren leaning into the forbidden age-gap romances is the right choice, as these stories are just so deliciously steamy. The Tryst is falling for your ex-boyfriend’s father and that trope is executed so well here. I am a Lauren Blakely review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Some men are just off-limits. Like your ex-boyfriend’s father. But when I met the sexy, powerful older man shortly after my business school graduation, he was simply the seductive stranger…

Thank you to Lauren Blakely and her team for the advance reader copy of A Very Filthy Game I really enjoyed this M/M romance from Lauren Blakley.

Lauren Blakley’s Turn Me On ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakley and her team for the advance reader copy of Turn Me On. I always look forward to Lauren Blakley’s M/M romances and this one featured two characters with some palpable chemistry but it took way too long to take off. I am a Lauren Blakley review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. The first rule of being an attorney is don’t sleep with your clients.The second rule is–see the first rule. Those guidelines don’t account for a man like Zane Archer though. The major leaguer is all confidence and big D energy as he swaggers into my life one night at…
