Thank you to Sara Cate and the team at the Author Agency for the advance reader copy of The Anti-Hero, the first book in the Goode Brothers series. I adore the Salacious Players Club, so when Sara began to tease a new series I couldn’t help but get excited for it. The Anti-Hero plays upon many religious themes, so it is definitely a recommended read for Sierra Simone’s Priest series fans. But don’t worry SPC fans, there is a sex club in this too and so many incredible signature Sara Cate kinky scenes. I’ve been good long enough. As the eldest son of Austin’s most prominent preacher, I’ve lived my life…

Thank you to Devney Perry and her team for the advance reader copy of The Dandelion Diary: A Mason Jar Novella. The Maysen Jar novels are still two of my favourite works from Devney’s backlist.

Devney Perry’s Crimson River ARC Review
Thank you to Devney Perry and her team for the advance reader copy of Crimson River, the fifth story in The Edens series. I have been greatly anticipating this book for a while, as once Devney began to tease this story the suspense sub-plot reminded me of my favourite instalment in the series, Indigo Ridge. Fans of that book and many of the mystery-based Clifton Forge novels will adore Lyla Eden’s instalment. I am a Deveny Perry review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Lyla Eden has spent the last few years watching her siblings fall in love. Meanwhile, she’s married to her job. It’s on…

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.

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…

Corinne Michaels’ Forbidden Hearts ARC Review
Thank you to Corinne Michaels and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of Forbidden Hearts, the first book in the Whitlock Family series. I am so very excited to see Corinne taking on these tropes, who doesn’t love a single dad falling for his new nanny? This is also a return to one of Corinne’s most special settings, Sugarloaf and there may be a little Arrowood cameo or two. First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot. But that’s exactly what happens when grumpy small-town sheriff Asher Whitlock reluctantly hires me to take care of his daughter…

Sarina Bowen’s Good as Gold ARC Review
Thank you to Sarina Bowen and her team for the advance reader copy of Good as Gold, the first book in the Giltmaker series. I adore travelling to small-town Vermont with the Giltmakers, Shipleys, and Rossis, and could do so forever. This was a fun friends-to-lovers, getting the girl who got away romance. I liked the characters but had a few issues with the pacing that kept this from a five-star. A swoony, heart-wrenching small-town romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Sarina Bowen! Leila: What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own. What happens instead:…
