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!

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.

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.

He wants to save her. She wants to hide. She’s damaged. He’s determined. Fate brought…

Katee Robert’s Hunt on Dark Waters ARC Review
Thank you to Katee Robert, Berkley, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Hunt on Dark Waters. I have been excited about this since Katee first started talking about it online. This book has it all pirates, witches, and vampires.

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.…

Elle Kennedy’s The Graham Effect ARC Review
Thank you to Elle Kennedy, Bloom Books, and Raincoast for the advance reader copy of The Graham Effect, the story of Hannah and Garrett (The Deal)’s daughter and the start of second-generation stories from Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus/Briar U universe. It still doesn’t feel real that this is a real book! My favourite thing about this story was just how nostalgic the reading experience felt. But that nostalgia was balanced with an original story that all hockey romance fiends are going to love! Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women’s national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father’s shadow. So far, so good, except…
