Thank you to Corinne Michaels and her team for the advance reader copy of Here and Now, the second interconnected standalone in the Ember Falls series. Nature is healing when I read a military hero and single mom written by Corinne Michaels. Here and Now is a small-town romance, featuring a suspense storyline, and a single mom heroine on the run. Her love interest falls first and falls hard, a golden retriever boyfriend with a heart of gold and I loved every second of it. I’ve crafted my new life in Ember Falls with two simple rules: maintain superficial relationships and always be ready to run. But when my son’s incredibly…

Melanie Harlow’s Slap Shot Surprise ARC Review
Thank you to Melanie Harlow and her team for the advance reader copy of Slap Shot Surprise, the fifth interconnected standalone in the Cherry Tree Harbor series. Two wonderful characters, a mature take on an accidental pregnancy, and a bittersweet end to a series I have loved. I am a Melanie Harlow review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. In my defense, I thought the plane was going to crash. Otherwise, I never would have blurted out those embarrassing things to a perfect stranger. Did I mention he turned out to be a scorching hot superstar of professional hockey? But wait, there’s more. When the plane…

Corinne Michaels’ All Too Well ARC Review
Thank you to Corinne and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of All Too Well, the first interconnected standalone in the Ember Falls series. There is nothing like starting a new small-town romance series from Corinne Michaels, with a hot firefighter and even hotter chemistry. Lighter on the emotional baggage than season Corinne readers will be used to and a great place for those who have yet to fall for one of her books. For as long as I can remember, Lachlan West has been my brother’s best friend and the love of my life. Trouble is, he kissed me four years ago and then never spoke…

Elsie Silver’s Wild Eyes ARC Review
Thank you to Elsie Silver and her team for the advance reader copy of Wild Eyes, the second interconnected standalone in the Rose Hill series. Elsie keeps getting better and better! Wild Eyes is a standout and is truly Elsie at her best with excellent spice, heartwarming characters, and a few emotional gut punches that had me full-on bawling my eyes out (in a good way). A rugged mountain town seemed like the perfect escape from a life in shambles. But on day one I ran full tilt into the world’s hottest single dad and now all my plans are ruined. As a chart-topping country singer with a recent streak of…

Catherine Cowles’ Delicate Escape ARC Review
Thank you to Catherine Cowles and her team for the advance reader copy of Delicate Escape, the second interconnected standalone in the Sparrow Falls series. Baby’s first Catherine Cowles ARC! I could not be more excited to scream from the rooftops about how much I loved Shep and Thea’s story and how much I never want to leave this Sparrow Falls era. Trust doesn’t come easily when you’ve been running for as long as I have, which is why moving in with a man I barely know is such a bad idea. Shepard Colson is all golden-boy charm and devastating good looks. But I know what it’s like to be taken…

Giana Darling’s Asking for Trouble ARC Review
Thank you to Giana Darling and her team for the advance reader copy of Asking for Trouble, a standalone shorter novel in The Fallen Men series. Damn, Ms. Darling never misses! This book was impeccable and I am reminded time and time again why I love Entrance and that when we return to it, just how much I never ever want to leave it. An MC romance about a girl hiding from her past and the biker who becomes her unlikely saviour… When four thugs show up at Evergreen Gas Station with cocked shotguns and masked faces, it could have ended in the worst night of my life. Instead, a gorgeous…

Melanie Harlow’s Small Town Swoon ARC Review
Thank you to Melanie Harlow and her team for the advance reader copy of Small Town Swoon, the fourth story in the Cherry Tree Harbor series. I adore Dash and Ari so much, Melanie Harlow has put together a phenomenal novel. Who doesn’t love when a character gets a second chance to fall even harder for her best friend’s older brother, bonus he’s a Hollywood heartthrob! I am a Melanie Harlow review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Only in the movies does the Hollywood heartthrob fall for the small town diner waitress. So when Dashiel Buckley returns to Cherry Tree Harbor for a wedding, I’m…

Devney Perry’s Blitz ARC Review
Thank you to Devney and her team for the advance reader copy of Blitz, the second story in the Treasure State Wildcats series. Devney’s college football series which began with Coach is continued with Blitz and damn is this book dripping in forbidden. He’s a football coach and she’s a star volleyball player, they can not explore any sort of relationship. What ensues is a slow burn, with so much tension, and I will guarantee that any reader who likes a taste of forbidden will enjoy this one. I am a Devney Perry review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. A forbidden, small town, sports romance from Wall…

Tate James’ Hate Review
Thank you to Bloom Books and Raincoast Books for the Bloom re-release edition of Hate, the first book in the Madison Kate series. When Bloom announced they were picking this up I took it as the sign I was waiting for to dive into this series finally. I love a good why choose story every once in a while and I was ready to be whisked away into the world of Madison Kate and her boys. “Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight.” Those words changed my life, and not for the better. They were wrong, of course. I wasn’t dead. But I was set up. After being framed for a…

Chloe Walsh’s Keeping 13 Review
Thank you to Chloe Walsh, Bloom, and Raincoast for the new Bloom edition of Keeping 13, the second book in the Boys of Tommen series. Did I dive into Keeping 13 basically one minute after finishing Binding 13, yup I definitely did! What a cliffhanger, maybe one of the most brutal I have read this year. This book wrecked me even harder than Binding 13, it had me bawling my eyes out. Falling in love was the easy part. What comes next is the test. Johnny Kavanagh’s first, last, and only true love has always been rugby…until now. Following a devastating injury that has left him stripped of his beloved…
