Thank you to Sarina Bowen and her team for the advance reader copy of The Last Guy on Earth, the third interconnected standalone in the Hockey Guys series. I always adore Sarina Bowen’s MM storytelling and the other books in this series have all been great reads. One cold December day, two men are blindsided by a hockey trade; one is the most decorated goalie in the league, while the other one is the youngest coach in the majors. Jethro Hale is the last player Coach Clay Powers wants to see on his roster, but the G.M. pulls a fast one. And it’s not like he can even explain why. Nobody…

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…

Devney Perry’s Rally ARC Review
Thank you to Devney Perry and her team for the advance reader copy of Rally, the third interconnected standalone in the Treasure State Wildcats series. What starts with a one-night stand grows into a wonderful romance. This book has some heavy miscommunication, which won’t be for every reader but if you love accidental pregnancy and a raw, heavy emotional book. I am a Devney review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Check out my more detailed thoughts below… Pregnant. Homeless. Broke. Not what I’d expected for my senior year in college. Neither was Rush Ramsey. We met the day I went camping and got stranded on…

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…

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…

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…
