Thank you to Helena Hunting and her team for the advance reader copy of Shattered Truths, the third story in the Lies, Hearts, Truths series. The next story in this set of second-generation Pucked novels is just as heartbreaking and heartrending as its predecessors. I adore this series so much and was so happy with BJ’s story. All the fans who have been waiting to get in his head will be very happy. I am a Helena Hunting review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep.To be fair, she came out of…

L.J. Shen’s Pretty Reckless Review
Thank you to L.J. Shen, Sourcebooks, Bloom Books, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of the re-release of Pretty Reckless, the first book in what is now called the All Saints series. I read Pretty Reckless back when it came out in 2019 and decided to request the new Bloom edition to give it a re-read. I am sad to say that this book didn’t hit the same, guess I’ve done a little growing up in the last four years and I found this book oddly too immature and too mature at the same time. They say revenge is a dish best served cold… Penn Scully has had four…

Ana Huang’s King of Pride Review
Thank you to Ana Huang, Bloom Books, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of the traditional re-release of King of Pride, the second story in the Kings of Sin series. My second time through King of Pride and I loved it even more! This series is such a gem and I cannot wait to see what else Ana has in store for us. Kai and Isabella are two of her best characters yet! She’s his opposite in every way…and the greatest temptation he’s ever known. Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos—and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate…

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…

Melanie Harlow’s Hideaway Heart ARC Review
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…

Emily McIntire’s Crossed ARC Review
Thank you to Emily McIntire, Bloom Books, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Crossed, the fifth standalone in the Never After series. Crossed is not for the faint of heart, but if you have gotten this far with Emily McIntire’s steamy fractured fairytales then you know what to expect – something dark and twisted. Father Cade has a sinister streak and Amaya is the perfect Esmeralda-esque character, so when their paths cross you get a deliciously dark story. From bestselling author Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. He is righteousness. She is sin. Father Cade Frédéric is…

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…

Sophie Lark’s Brutal Prince ARC Review
Thank you to Sophie Lark and Bloom Books via NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Brutal Prince, the traditional re-release of the first book in the Brutal Birthright series. This author and this series have been on my TBR for as long as I can remember. I do not really read mafia romance as much as I should, but after reading Brutal Prince I need to clear out a week of my life to binge the rest of the series. This is the perfect mafia book, with two warring families and a deliciously hot arranged marriage. They’re a match made in Hell. The Griffins and the Gallos have been battling…

Elle Kennedy’s The Summer Girl ARC Review
Thank you to Elle Kennedy, St. Martin’s Press, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of The Summer Girl, the third story in the Avalon Bay series. Avalon Bay is the perfect summer read! What a bittersweet goodbye to this sweet summer series. But now no matter if you are on a beach or by a lake or in a lush field The Summer Girl and the previous Avalon Bay books are your perfect summer binge-read. College student Cassie Soul hasn’t spent an entire summer in Avalon Bay in years, not since her parents divorced and her mother spitefully whisked her away to Boston. Now that her grandmother is selling…

Sara Cate’s The Anti-Hero ARC Review
Thank you to Sara Cate and the team at the Author Agency for the advance reader copy of The Anti-Hero, the first book in the Goode Brothers series. I adore the Salacious Players Club, so when Sara began to tease a new series I couldn’t help but get excited for it. The Anti-Hero plays upon many religious themes, so it is definitely a recommended read for Sierra Simone’s Priest series fans. But don’t worry SPC fans, there is a sex club in this too and so many incredible signature Sara Cate kinky scenes. I’ve been good long enough. As the eldest son of Austin’s most prominent preacher, I’ve lived my life…
