Thank you to Melanie Harlow and her team for the advance reader copy of Hideaway Heart, the second story in the Cherry Tree Harbor series. I just adore Melanie’s small-town romances, she is just so damn good at what she does. Hideaway Heart features a bodyguard falling for his famous client and who doesn’t love that combination? I am a Melanie Harlow review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. All I wanted was a break–two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan. But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family…

K. Webster’s The Untamed ARC Review
Thank you to K. Webster and her team for the advance reader copy of The Untamed, the third story in The Wild series. When one thinks of the taboo works of Kristi Webster, The Wild comes to mind immediately. It is an iconic series, it put K. Webster on the map. So I was undeniably intrigued to see where this story would go next. I must preface here if you cannot handle the most absolutely taboo tropes, this is not for you. I am a K. Webster review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. I live in the Alaskan wild with my family because it’s where…

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.

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…

Thank you to Sienna Snow and the team at Dangerous Press for the advance reader copy of Claim, the first book in the Violent Delights trilogy. The Dangerous Press world was missing this story!
