Thank you to Lauren Blakley and her team for the advance reader copy of Puck Yes, the second story in the My Hockey Romance series. This one just did not hit for me. It put me into a deep reading slump and if not for the fact that I wanted to review it I don’t know if I would have finished it. I am a Lauren Blakely review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. The hotshot new hockey player, the veteran team captain, and the woman they fall for when she becomes the new team mascot in a fake marriage hockey rom com! When my ex…

Sarina Bowen’s I’m Your Guy ARC Review
Thank you to Sarina Bowen and her team for the advance reader copy of I’m Your Guy, the second story in the Hockey Guys series. I adored this book which comes to me as no surprise because I love Sarina Bowen’s M/M romances! I did find it a bit slow going but once I was hooked it was blast off and I tore through the rest of the book. TOMMASOThe furniture district is my personal hell. I don’t know my ass from an ottoman. But when a hot designer comes to my rescue, I realize my problems are bigger than the house I’m trying to furnish.A scorching kiss over fabric samples…

Hannah Grace’s Wildfire ARC Review
Thank you to Hannah Grace, Simon & Schuster Canada, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Wildfire, the second Maple Hills novel. I really wanted to enjoy this book more than I did. I do think many others could love it but I just did not grow as attached to the characters as I would have liked. I also had some issues with the pacing and length of this second instalment. The latest in the Maple Hills series follows two summer camp counselors who reconnect after a sizzling one-night stand. Maple Hills students Russ Callaghan and Aurora Roberts cross paths at a party celebrating the end of the academic year,…

This book is a masterpiece, a culmination of everything so great about Chestnut Springs! Beau Eaton is the town prince, a handsome military hero with a tortured past. I’m the outcast bartender, a shy girl from the wrong side of the tracks. He’s thirty-five and all man, and I’m twenty-two and all… virgin. He’s also my fiancé. Correction: my fake fiancé.

Sienna Snow’s Defy ARC Review
Thank you to Sienna Snow and the team at Dangerous Press for the advance reader copy of Defy, the second book in the Violent Delights trilogy. I did really enjoy the first book in the Violent Delights trilogy, Claim. After its explosive ending, I was clamouring to get my hands on the continuation of Sophie and Damon’s story. While I did not enjoy this instalment as much as its predecessor I am keen to pick up this story’s conclusion come December. I am a Dangerous Press review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Sophia Morelli’s wild and rebellious nature has earned her a notorious reputation in…

Karina Halle’s Hollow ARC Review
Thank you to Karina Halle and her team for the advance reader copy of Hollow, book one of a duet with the conclusion Legend coming on October 30th. It is part of the A Gothic Shade of Romance series, which will be made up of various horror and gothic romance retellings. Hollow is a retelling of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Karina never misses! I knew this retelling was in good hands because I knew she could definitely deliver something equally spooky and steamy. If you are looking for a smutty read this spooky season look no further. I am a Karina Halle review team member, but I remain honest and…

Elsie Silver’s Heartless Review
Thank you to Elsie Silver, Bloom Books, and Raincoast for the advance reader copy of Heartless, the second book in the Chestnut Springs series. The first time I read through the first few Chestnut Springs books I got super attached to Willa and Cade. The second time through I loved them even more! He’s the grumpy cowboy single dad and she’s the sunshine nanny, who won’t be able to help but fall for him and his little boy. Working as a nanny for the world’s grumpiest single dad should be simple…except she can’t keep her eyes off him. And he can’t keep his hands off her. Cade Eaton is thirteen years…

Sophie Lark’s Savage Lover ARC Review
Thank you to Sophie Lark, Raincoast, and Bloom Books for the advance reader copy of Savage Lover, the third book in the Brutal Birthright series. I have been loving this series, as we hit halfway Aida and Callum remain my favourites but I loved the wild ride that Camille and Nero took me on. “Two people who believe they’re unworthy of love… until they meet each other. Camille Rivera is drowning. Her father’s sick, her brother’s in deep with a dirty cop, and her mechanic shop is failing. Nero Gallo is the neighborhood psychopath. As vicious as he is gorgeous, Camille has watched him burn through every girl in a ten-mile…

K. Webster’s The Unruly ARC Review
Thank you to K. Webster and her team for the advance reader copy of The Unruly, the fourth story set in The Wild universe and the follow-up to The Untamed. I want to preface my review with a warning that one should check the trigger warnings before diving into not just this book but any book from the world of The Wild. I found this book incredibly intense and I want to warn people now that my being uncomfortable did affect my review. I am a K. Webster review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. “They took everything from us.Our home. Our family. Our freedom. We’ve…

Sierra Simone’s Salt Kiss ARC Review
Thank you to Sierra Simone and her team for the advance reader copy of Salt Kiss, the first book in the new Lyonesse series. The anticipation for this series is unmatched! I adore Sierra Simone’s New Camelot series, as those books were some of the first of hers I ever read. I was over the moon excited to see Sierra Simone decide to do another take on an old legend, this time the story of Tristan and Isodole. This story is definitely setting the stage for something bigger and I cannot wait to see where Sierra takes us. I am a Sierra Simone review team member, but I remain honest and…
