Thank you to Devney Perry and her team for the advance reader copy of Crimson River, the fifth story in The Edens series. I have been greatly anticipating this book for a while, as once Devney began to tease this story the suspense sub-plot reminded me of my favourite instalment in the series, Indigo Ridge. Fans of that book and many of the mystery-based Clifton Forge novels will adore Lyla Eden’s instalment. I am a Deveny Perry review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Lyla Eden has spent the last few years watching her siblings fall in love. Meanwhile, she’s married to her job. It’s on…

Helena Hunting’s A Love Catastrophe ARC Review
Thank you to Helena Hunting, her team, NetGalley, and Forever for the advance reader copy of A Love Catastrophe. Helena Hunting writes such charming romantic comedies. This book is perfect for animal lovers and haters alike, being very much a story of two people who have faced their own separate hardships finding someone to share that burden. Plus there are tons of cute animals, both cats and dogs. I am a Helena Hunting review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. The fur is about to fly between a cheerful cat sitter and a grumpy hockey nerd in this hilarious and charming rom-com by the New York Times bestselling author…

Lauren Blakely’s Double Pucked ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakley and her team for the advance reader copy of Double Pucked, out June 5, 2023. This book is two things I have been dying to see Lauren Blakley write: a hockey romance and a why choose! I knew Lauren’s style would suit the Lily Gold type of book, and this sure delivered. It is so much fun and definitely a great place to start for readers who are starting their journeys into reading throuples/triads/poly relationships. I am a Lauren Blakely review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. A jilted book nerd, a plan for sweet revenge, and the two hockey stars…

Corinne Michaels’ Forbidden Hearts ARC Review
Thank you to Corinne Michaels and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of Forbidden Hearts, the first book in the Whitlock Family series. I am so very excited to see Corinne taking on these tropes, who doesn’t love a single dad falling for his new nanny? This is also a return to one of Corinne’s most special settings, Sugarloaf and there may be a little Arrowood cameo or two. First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot. But that’s exactly what happens when grumpy small-town sheriff Asher Whitlock reluctantly hires me to take care of his daughter…

Sarina Bowen’s Good as Gold ARC Review
Thank you to Sarina Bowen and her team for the advance reader copy of Good as Gold, the first book in the Giltmaker series. I adore travelling to small-town Vermont with the Giltmakers, Shipleys, and Rossis, and could do so forever. This was a fun friends-to-lovers, getting the girl who got away romance. I liked the characters but had a few issues with the pacing that kept this from a five-star. A swoony, heart-wrenching small-town romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Sarina Bowen! Leila: What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own. What happens instead:…

Kennedy Ryan’s The Kingmaker ARC Review
Thank you to Kennedy Ryan, Bloom Books, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of the traditional release of The Kingmaker, the first story in the All the King’s Men duology. I am so excited more readers will find The Kingmaker thanks to the lovely people at Bloom Books. I jumped at a chance to re-read a book that is equal parts an important story of Indigenous and climate activism and breathtaking romance. Simply this book is powerful. This story highlights the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, the fear of going missing and the threat of violence is a reality affecting Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirited individuals…

Sienna Snow’s Claim ARC Review
Thank you to Sienna Snow and the team at Dangerous Press for the advance reader copy of Claim, the first book in the Violent Delights trilogy. The Dangerous Press world was missing this story! I loved this and cannot wait to see where it goes next. Sophia Morelli is a determined brat in need of a bit of taming from Damon Pierce, but to him, she is a temptation he cannot afford. I am a Dangerous Press review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Damon Pierce has a dangerous reputation at Violent Delights.As for the submissive women he plays with? They get one night only.Any more…

K. Webster’s Alpha & Omega Series Review
Thank you to K. Webster and the team at Indie Sage PR for the copy of the re-release of Alpha & Omega. So, K. Webster has graced us with new covers for her paranormal duology, first released in 2015. This is also my first K. Webster review as an official ARC team member. This series would be a decent binge for those who enjoy paranormal romance. But there are other K. Webster novellas, such as the taboo treats which are better reads. I am a member of K. Webster’s review team, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. From USA Today Bestselling Author K Webster comes a steamy,…
