Thank you to Corinne and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of All Too Well, the first interconnected standalone in the Ember Falls series. There is nothing like starting a new small-town romance series from Corinne Michaels, with a hot firefighter and even hotter chemistry. Lighter on the emotional baggage than season Corinne readers will be used to and a great place for those who have yet to fall for one of her books. For as long as I can remember, Lachlan West has been my brother’s best friend and the love of my life. Trouble is, he kissed me four years ago and then never spoke…

Karina Halle’s The Royals Upstairs ARC Review
Thank you to Karina Halle and the team at Berkley Romance for the advance reader copy of The Royals Upstairs. I absolutely adored this Karina Halle royalty-adjacent romance! It pulled on my nostalgia heartstrings so much, not just due to cameos from past Royalty romances but the entire story felt like the Karina Halle contemporary romances I fell hard for when I first started reading her. He’s the royal bodyguard. She’s the royal nanny. The annoyingly hot attraction that simmers between them—that’s a royal pain. James Hunter has made a tactical error. His new role as protection officer to Prince Magnus of Norway was supposed to be an exciting change. Instead…

Melanie Harlow’s Make-Believe Match ARC Review
Thank you to Melanie Harlow and her team for the advance reader copy of Make-Believe Match, the third story in the Cherry Tree Harbor series. Did I just about drop everything I was doing when this ARC hit my Kindle? Yes, I did! Melanie Harlow returns to her latest world of Cherry Tree Harbour, with a marriage of convenience, forced proximity, a fake relationship, enemies-to-lovers, and a one-night stand. This book had everything and more! I am a Melanie Harlow review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Fall in love with my enemy? No way. Marry him to save my family’s struggling ski resort? That’s a…

Jay Crownover’s Son of a Gun ARC Review
Thank you to Jay Crownover for the advance reader copy of Son of a Gun, the third book in The Forever Marked series. This book is a celebration of all things Jay Crownover! It feels almost like a love letter to her fans, to all of us who see the Marked Men as a family and The Point as a home. If you love Jay’s books you will adore this and all the easter eggs it holds for her wider universe. Plus there is an emotionally charged love story between Daire and Campbell that will hook any new reader in. I am a Jay Crownover review team member, but I remain…

Skye Warren and Amelia Wilde’s Tropical Storm ARC Review
Thank you to Skye Warren, Amelia Wilde and the team at Dangerous Press for the advance reader copy of Tropical Storm, the third and final instalment in the Deserted Island series. I have been looking forward to this conclusion, time for Carter to bring his loves into his Morelli home! Overall, this series is a great introduction to triad relationships for readers who are unaware of them. As well as being one of the only Dangerous Press series that largely takes place outside of Bishop’s Landing, so it is refreshing to see another setting depicted. For the final instalment, we return to Bishop’s Landing and its politics. Fans of Carter, Theo,…

Lauren Blakely’s My So-Called Sex Life ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakely and her team for the advance reader copy of My So-Called Sex Life, the first book in the Dating Games series. Romance novel fanatics will swoon over Lauren Blakely’s ode to romance writers and fans alike. Hazel and Axel are celebrated romance writers, who went from writing a popular series together to dissolving their working relationship. An author tour in Europe, with only one bed on the train’s sleeper car is the push these characters need to reckon with their feelings. Ultimately, Hazel and Axel’s journey is a love letter to romancelandia and I adored it. I am a Lauren Blakley review team member, but my…

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…
