Take My Love by Brooke Montgomery
This book is up there as one of the hottest I’ve ever read, knocking off trope after trope and driving me absolutely wild. I could’ve read another 200 pages and still not had enough. Yes, the spice and kinks were that good, but as a lover of the written word, I also crave a solid…
Test the Ice by S.J. Sylvis
Some stories hit that perfect mix of swoon, steam, and soul, and Test the Ice by S.J. Sylvis absolutely delivers all three. It’s flirty, heartfelt, and full of the kind of emotional healing that makes you fall in love right alongside the characters. Reese’s life has been anything but easy. She’s a single mom doing…
In A Rush by Kate Canterbary
From the dedication (“for soft girls”), I knew I was in for something special, and Kate Canterbary delivered exactly that. In a Rush is the perfect mix of tenderness, humor, and heat, built around two people who’ve loved each other forever but never quite at the same time. It’s a story that captures what it…
Bite Your Tongue by Hannah Gray
This was my first Hannah Gray book, and WOW, what an introduction. Bite Your Tongue completely pulled me in from the first chapter and held me captivated until the last page turn. It’s raw, emotional, and unapologetically sexy, but underneath all the spice is a story about healing and self-acceptance. It’s more than just a…

This story has heart, heat, and that perfect mix of loyalty and longing that keeps you hooked from the first page. When Corie Reynolds moves back home after college, she’s looking for a fresh start, and a…

He’s attentive, slow to anger, caring, a good listener, hot, rich, and, well… let’s just say he’s packing more than medical expertise. He’s a man who thinks he has life all figured out—married to his…
All This Time by Harlow James

He’s the boy who used to climb through her window…
The Play Maker by Stephanie Alves
Oh Maisie girl, I see you. I was you. Part of me is still you.The girl who wants to blend into the background so no one looks too closely, because what if they see the cracks you try so hard to hide? What if they decide you’re not enough? “Sometimes I feel like a side…
Silent Count by Ava Sutton
(ARC Review) Some books make you feel. Others make you heal. Silent Count does both, and Ava Sutton absolutely nailed it. Silent Count is one of those stories that digs deep and stays with you long after you’ve finished. It’s tender, emotional, and heartbreakingly real. It’s the kind of love story that reminds you healing…
Protect Home by Indy Valentine
Enemies to lovers has never tasted this good. From the moment Tenley and August, aka Gus, share the page, the tension is electric. Every argument feels like foreplay wrapped in sarcasm. The “venom” they hurl at each other could fool anyone into thinking they hate one another, but the truth burns a little hotter. It’s…
