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…

Chloe Walsh’s Keeping 13 Review
Thank you to Chloe Walsh, Bloom, and Raincoast for the new Bloom edition of Keeping 13, the second book in the Boys of Tommen series. Did I dive into Keeping 13 basically one minute after finishing Binding 13, yup I definitely did! What a cliffhanger, maybe one of the most brutal I have read this year. This book wrecked me even harder than Binding 13, it had me bawling my eyes out. Falling in love was the easy part. What comes next is the test. Johnny Kavanagh’s first, last, and only true love has always been rugby…until now. Following a devastating injury that has left him stripped of his beloved…

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…

Helena Hunting’s Shattered Truths ARC Review
Thank you to Helena Hunting and her team for the advance reader copy of Shattered Truths, the third story in the Lies, Hearts, Truths series. The next story in this set of second-generation Pucked novels is just as heartbreaking and heartrending as its predecessors. I adore this series so much and was so happy with BJ’s story. All the fans who have been waiting to get in his head will be very happy. I am a Helena Hunting review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep.To be fair, she came out of…

Helena Hunting’s A Love Catastrophe ARC Review
Thank you to Helena Hunting, her team, NetGalley, and Forever for the advance reader copy of A Love Catastrophe. Helena Hunting writes such charming romantic comedies. This book is perfect for animal lovers and haters alike, being very much a story of two people who have faced their own separate hardships finding someone to share that burden. Plus there are tons of cute animals, both cats and dogs. I am a Helena Hunting review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com by the New York Times bestselling author…

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. Another sports M/M from Lauren Blakley, which was an overall enjoyable read but it felt like it lacked something special. I am a Lauren Blakley review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. One weekend with no strings was supposed to be the plan. After barely escaping my last train wreck of a romance, I’ve got a new dating goal—play it cool. I stick to that strategy when I meet a hunky Brit at a fundraiser and ask him to grab…

Devney Perry’s Coach ARC Review
Thank you to Devney Perry and her team for the advance reader copy of Coach, a single dad, sports romance standalone. I have been excited about this Devney Perry passion project since she started talking about it a few years ago. She has never tackled a sports romance (see what I did there, haha) and I was looking forward to her putting her Devney spin on it. This was a great take on a coach romance, in a college setting rather than a professional team. So you get the best of both worlds a forbidden workplace romance and small college-town vibes. I am a Devney Perry review team member, but I…

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…

Lauren Blakely’s A Very Filthy Game ARC Review
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. Filthy in the title does not even describe just how hot and heavy this book is. Fans will fawn over the intensity and steaminess of Gunner and Rafe. I am a Lauren Blakely review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. It’s a fine line between lust and obsession… Lately, I’ve been full of questions. Then one hot summer night I find all the answers when I kiss another guy for the first time. But all too soon, he disappears,…
