Thank you to St. Martin’s and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of A Highlander is Coming to Town, part of the Highland, Georgia series which releases September 29th!

Dark Fairy Tales ARC Review
Thank you to Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of Dark Fairy Tales. I jumped at the chance to review this anthology of powerhouse dark romance authors. Many of these authors I had never read before, others such as Karina Halle and Sierra Simone I had read for years. If you are fans of Karina and Sierra like I am, this is a must read. Karina’s story features a fan favourite from her Sins Duet, one of the darkest stories in the anthology it was a sexy read. Sierra also chose to tell the story of a character from a previous series, from The New Camelot series. Another deliciously…

Evelyn Lozada and Holly Lörincz’s The Wrong Mr. Darcy ARC Review
Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin’s Griffin for the advance reader copy of The Wrong Mr. Darcy a modern Pride and Prejudice retelling by Evelyn Lozada and Holly Lorincz. This story releases on August 25th. I jumped at the chance to review this after St. Martin’s Griffin because I am a classic Pride and Prejudice stan. But I would not really say it is an amazing retelling. In actuality, this was not good. I only found out after I finished that it was written by someone who has dated NBA players and was on Basketball Wives but I really feel like this was her attempt to take shots at WAGS…

Lauren Blakely’s The What If Guy ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakely and the team at Candi Kane PR for the advance copy of The What If Guy. I am not saying this lightly this is probably the best book Lauren Blakely has ever written. It has the romance of some of her strongest series like Big Rock and The Heartbreakers. Mixed with the sexual intensity of the After Dark series. It has shown just how much her craft has matured over the years. Check out the Goodreads synopsis below… “It should be an easy rule to follow – don’t bang your boss…But I didn’t know who he was when I met him. And the first time…
