Thank you to Sierra Simone and her team for the advance reader copy of Villain I’d Like to F… This review will specifically cover The Conquering of Tate the Pious, Sierra’s contribution to this anthology. Another sapphic short story from Sierra Simone. Damn, she is so good at writing hot stories, steeped in the grandeur of a historical setting. I am a Sierra Simone review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. England is burning with Norman fires, and Tate—the youngest ever abbess of Far Hope Abbey—is determined to guard the abbey’s ancient secrets with her very life.

Lauren Blakely’s The Good Guy Challenge ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakley and her team for the advance reader copy of The Good Guy Challenge. My favourite kind of Lauren Blakley is the super sex-positive main characters, Lauren Blakley. I am a Lauren Blakley review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Fake real dating the one who got away? Sign me up… There’s just something about bad boys. Tattoos and leather jackets, am I right? Trouble is, my last boyfriend was a teensy bit too bad and now he’s in prison. Yikes. When my friends challenge me to take a dip in the good guy side of the dating pool, I see their…

Skye Warren’s Hiding Places ARC Review
Thank you to Skye Warren and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of Hiding Places.

The nightmare is behind her… except someone is watching. Mateo Garza is everything she doesn’t want. Wealthy. Famous. Gorgeous. He’s also the only man she trusts.

Fiona Cole’s Falter ARC Review
Thank you to Fiona Cole and her team for the advance reader copy of Falter, the next book in the Voyeur world and the continuation of Olivia and Kent’s story. I cannot even explain how excited I get whenever Fiona announces we are returning to the Voyeur world. It means so much to me and is one of my favourite contemporary romance worlds to inhabit. When he said his vows, he told me how much he loved my determination and strength. If I wanted it, I got it. Except now all I want is to have his baby. And for the first time ever, no matter how much I want it,…

K. Webster’s The Teacher of Nothing ARC Review
Thank you to K. Webster and her team at Indie Sage PR for the advance reader copy of The Teacher of Nothing. Talk about a book stacked with taboo tropes!

She’s his much, much younger student who’s completely off-limits. Love broke me when I was a teen.My dad not only slept with my girlfriend, but he knocked her up and made her my…
