Thank you to Elsie Silver and her team for the advance reader copy of Wild Eyes, the second interconnected standalone in the Rose Hill series. Elsie keeps getting better and better! Wild Eyes is a standout and is truly Elsie at her best with excellent spice, heartwarming characters, and a few emotional gut punches that had me full-on bawling my eyes out (in a good way). A rugged mountain town seemed like the perfect escape from a life in shambles. But on day one I ran full tilt into the world’s hottest single dad and now all my plans are ruined. As a chart-topping country singer with a recent streak of…

Tate James’ Hate Review
Thank you to Bloom Books and Raincoast Books for the Bloom re-release edition of Hate, the first book in the Madison Kate series. When Bloom announced they were picking this up I took it as the sign I was waiting for to dive into this series finally. I love a good why choose story every once in a while and I was ready to be whisked away into the world of Madison Kate and her boys. “Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight.” Those words changed my life, and not for the better. They were wrong, of course. I wasn’t dead. But I was set up. After being framed for a…

Katee Robert’s Midnight Ruin ARC Review
Thank you to Katee Robert, Sourcebooks Casablanca, and Raincoast for the advance reader copy of Midnight Ruin, the sixth book in the Dark Olympus series. I am nothing if not consistent, and I consistently love Katee Robert’s throuple novels so damn much. Midnight Ruin is phenomenal, I’ve read it twice through before writing this review. If you have not started this series yet I beg you to start with Neon Gods and let yourself be taken away on this rollercoaster of fast-paced political intrigue and toe-curlingly good romance. I am a Katee Robert review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Eurydice Dimitriou has always been the…

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…

Sophie Lark’s Broken Vow Review
Thank you to Sophie Lark, Bloom Books, and Raincoast for the copy of the new Bloom Books edition of Broken Vow, the fifth story in the Brutal Birthright series. Broken Vow is officially my second favourite in this series, so far! If you love either mafia romance or cowboy romance, this one is both! He’ll protect her…whether she likes it or not. Riona Griffin is gorgeous, intelligent, and iron-willed. My perfect woman, except she hates my guts. She thinks she doesn’t need anybody. But she needs me. She’s being hunted by an assassin who never misses his mark. I’m going to stay by her side, day and night, keeping her safe.…

Elsie Silver’s Reckless Review
Thank you to Elsie Silver, Bloom, NetGalley, and Raincoast for the Bloom re-release edition of Reckless. We have reached the moment of my Chestnut Springs re-read that I have been waiting for! I was so excited to revisit the instalment that was my favourite the first time through. Of course, it remains so on my second, in which I just let myself read this in one sitting on Sunday morning and it is just so damn perfect. He’s scorching-hot trouble wrapped up in a drool-worthy package. And he’s looking at her like she might be his next meal. Theo Silva. Rowdy bull rider. Notorious ladies’ man. Winter Hamilton knows exactly what…

Chloe Walsh’s Binding 13 Review
Thank you to Chloe Walsh, Bloom, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the copy of the Bloom re-release of Binding 13, the first book in the Boys of Tommen series. I have been meaning to read this book for what feels like forever. I know fans more than just love this book but live and breathe it. I have always been intimidated by the length, I still am not fully sold that this book needed to be this long. What I am sold on is that I love Shannon and Johnny, and want the world for them both. He wants to save her. She wants to hide. She’s damaged. He’s determined. Fate brought…

Sophie Lark’s Bloody Heart Review
Thank you to Sophie Lark, Bloom, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the copy of Bloody Heart, the fourth story in the Brutal Birthright series. I have been loving this series so much and this next instalment sure throws readers for a loop, with so many things I was not expecting. When you get a second chance, you don’t wait for a third… Simone Solomon lives in a gilded cage. She’s been raised to wealth, privilege, and above all, obedience. Hiding in the back of a limousine, dreading another tedious gala, Simone is abducted by a mafioso who intended to steal a car, not a girl. Dante Gallo looks like a beast and…

Elsie Silver’s Powerless Review
Thank you to Elsie Silver, Raincoast, and Bloom for the copy of the new Bloom edition of Powerless, the third story in the Chestnut Springs series. I adored Jasper and Sloane’s story the first time, the second time made me never want their road trip to end. Two childhood friends. Two broken hearts. One impromptu road trip to get away from everything. That’s all this was supposed to be. Afterall, I’ve been living in the friend zone for years now. But hockey heartthrob Jasper Gervais isn’t looking at me like a friend anymore. And he isn’t touching me like one either. To his fans, he’s the handsome, talented athlete on TV.…

Sophie Lark’s Sinners Duet Review
Thank you to Raincoast and Bloom Books for the copies of the Sinners duet, There is No Devil and There Are No Saints. The Sinners duet has been on my TBR for a long while now. This is one of the most dark romances I have ever read. I will be honest there were elements I enjoyed, and others that I just did not jive with. She knows he’s no saint, but she has no idea she’s dancing with the devil. Cole Blackwell values control. He’s the hottest sculptor in San Francisco―wealthy, successful, and respected. His only weakness is the dark impulse he carefully conceals. In truth, he’s not just an…
