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. It put me into a deep reading slump and if not for the fact that I wanted to review it I don’t know if I would have finished it. 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…

Ana Huang’s King of Pride Review
Thank you to Ana Huang, Bloom Books, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of the traditional re-release of King of Pride, the second story in the Kings of Sin series. My second time through King of Pride and I loved it even more! This series is such a gem and I cannot wait to see what else Ana has in store for us. Kai and Isabella are two of her best characters yet! She’s his opposite in every way…and the greatest temptation he’s ever known. Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos—and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate…

Kennedy Ryan’s The Rebel King ARC Review
Thank you to Kennedy Ryan and Sourcebooks – Bloom Books for the advance reader copy of The Rebel King, the second book in the All the King’s Men series. You can read my review of the first book, The Kingmaker here. I am such a huge fan of this duology and so after re-reading and reviewing the first book, The Kingmaker naturally I wanted to bring you all my thoughts on the sequel. This is a great follow-up, it will bring tears to the eyes of fans as Lennix and Maxim make their way in the world together against every barrier thrown in their way. This story highlights the epidemic of…

Sarina Bowen’s The New Guy ARC Review
Thank you to Sarina Bowen and her team for the advance reader copy of The New Guy, set within the Brooklyn Bruisers world and the first book in the Hockey Guys series! This book is a culmination of so much I love about Sarina Bowen’s work. First off, it’s part of the Brooklyn Bruisers world one of my fave hockey romance series ever. Plus Sarina is so good at writing M/M love stories. Yet, she has not written a gay hockey romance since Him and Us, which she co-wrote with Elle Kennedy. Everyone will eat up The New Guy. If you especially loved Him and Us then The New Guy will…

Katee Robert’s Radiant Sin ARC Review
Thank you to Katee Robert and her team for the advance reader copy of Radiant Sin, the fourth book in the Dark Olympus series. I was so very excited for this instalment as I am for each new Dark Olympus book. Katee is just a retelling genius, or should I say, goddess! This book was another phenomenal individual story as well as representing intense implications that will dominate the rest of the series. I am a Katee Robert review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. There’s nowhere more dangerous than Olympus…and no one more captivating than its golden god: Apollo. Keeper of secrets, master of his…

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…

Amelia Wilde’s Extortion ARC Review
Thank you to Amelia Wilde and the team at Dangerous Press for the advance reader copy of Extortion, the second book in the Controlling Interests series. I am super intrigued by the next instalment in Will and Bristol’s love story, I loved how it began and the tropes Amelia chose to play with. I cannot wait to see what comes next. I am a Dangerous Press review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Will Leblanc takes risks in his private equity firm and in the underground boxing ring, but nowhere else. Definitely not in love. Which is why he had to walk away. Except Bristol Anderson…

Lauren Blakely’s Two a Day ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakely and her team for the advance reader copy of Two a Day. Another sports romance from Lauren, this time we are in LA rather than San Fran. This book just missed the mark for me. I am a Lauren Blakely review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. What I should do as the new quarterback in Los Angeles: Win games.What I shouldn’t do: Try to win over the sexy, sassy, fiery woman who works in the VP suite for the team.I don’t always follow the good guy rules though, especially when I want to take her home. Then up against the…

Thank you to Lauren Blakely and her team for the advance reader copy of The Virgin Next Door, the first book in The Dating Games series. I love this premise! All you need to do is read the synopsis and you will be dying to pick this up too! I am a member of Lauren Blakely’s review team, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. “Raise your hand if you’ve ever done this. Written a racy message and sent it to—oops—the wrong person. Yeah, me too. Except, I sent my latest Tales of a Naughty Virgin column detailing my fantasies about my hot, charming, thoroughly bangable next-door-neighbor to…MY ENTIRE COMPANY.Did I…
