Thank you to Devney Perry and her team for the advance reader copy of The Brood, the sixth story in the Calamity Montana series. I love Devney and love Calamity Montana! She is one of the most consistent small-town romance writers, always producing sexy, sweet, and swoony stories. The Brood conveys the grump of a hero Devney wrote for us and I can’t wait for you to read as his sunshine melts away the icy fortress he built up for himself. I am a Devney Perry/Willa Nash review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. The last thing Wilder Abbott needs is a houseguest. Solitude has been…

Lucy Score’s Things We Left Behind ARC Review
Thank you to Lucy Score, Bloom Books, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Things We Left Behind, the third book in the Knockemout series. I am all about honesty so I will let you know I have liked, but not loved the previous installments. Then I read Things We Left Behind, and wow this one is amazing. Lucy Score sure left the best couple for last and this book is a triumph! There was only one woman who could set me free. But I would rather set myself on fire than ask Sloane Walton for anything. Lucian Rollins is a lean, mean vengeance-seeking mogul. On a quest to…

Lauren Blakely’s The Tease ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakely and the team for the advance reader copy of The Tease, the third story in The Virgin Society series. This one just wasn’t for me. I have been enjoying the series so far but just found I was not attached to the characters and that it was a bit of a trope overload. I am a Lauren Blakely review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. I swear I’m a good girl. I didn’t go to the exclusive, after-hours masquerade to kiss my dad’s best friend. I didn’t even know who the masked man was when he touched me like I was…

Elsie Silver’s Flawless Review
Thank you to Elsie, Raincoast and Sourcebooks for the advance reader copy of Flawless, the traditional re-release of the first book in the Chestnut Springs series. I am so excited to help celebrate this book re-entering the world in this pretty pink package. I liked Flawless my first time though, the second time through just hit different. Maybe knowing the characters and this world better just made me appreciate this story even more. The rules were keep his hands off his agent’s daughter and stay out of trouble. But now he’s stuck with her. There’s only one bed. And well, rules are made to be broken. Rhett Eaton is the face…

Nikki Sloane’s The Good Girl ARC Review
Thank you to Nikki Sloane and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of The Good Girl, the fifth interconnected standalone in the Nashville Neighborhood series. I didn’t know we were getting more books in this series! I jumped to review this when I saw the sign-up. Nashville Neighborhood is such a guilty pleasure series for me. I adore this smutty culdesack so damn much. What are you supposed to do when your best friend’s little sister—a classic good girl—asks you to help her go bad? You should say no. You shouldn’t pretend to date her so she can piss off her parents. You definitely shouldn’t agree to…

Sophie Lark’s Stolen Heir Review
Thank you to Sophie Lark, Sourcebooks, Bloom Book, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of the re-release of Stolen Heir, the second interconnected standalone in the Brutal Birthright series. While I was reading Brutal Prince I was so excited to get in Nessa’s head. Once I found out that this installment was about her I was ecstatic. I was even more interested to get to read Sophie’s take on the classic mafia romance trope, kidnapping. They Murdered My Father, So I Stole Their Daughter… She’s my captive, my little ballerina who dances only for me. Nessa is sweet and innocent. She doesn’t deserve any of this. But that’s how…

Helena Hunting’s Shattered Truths ARC Review
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…
