Dear Stetson, I Want You by Indy Valentine
(ARC Read) I went into Dear Stetson, I Want You fully prepared to side-eye the age gap. I’m talking arms crossed, skeptical, ready to judge. That lasted… all of five chapters. Because somewhere between a private jet, stolen glances, and a slow, undeniable pull that felt way deeper than just attraction, I absolutely folded. No…
The Royal Situation by Lyra Parish
(ARC Read) I don’t even know how to properly say goodbye to this series, but if it had to end, Lyra Parish truly gave us the most unforgettable finale with The Royal Situation. This book completely consumed me. I laughed, I fell in love, I was stressed out, I definitely shed some tears, and by…
Convincing the Catcher by Hannah Gray
(ARC Read) I don’t even know how to properly put into words how much I loved this book. This is one of those reads that completely takes over your heart, drags you through every emotion imaginable, and then leaves you sitting there in a full-blown book hangover wondering what just happened to your life. Hannah…
The Trade by Ava Sutton
(ARC Review) If you’ve been waiting since Snow Blitz to see how Liam and Alie’s story plays out, let me just say this now: it is absolutely worth the wait. Ava Sutton really knew what she was doing with this one. From the very first page I was completely pulled in, and I genuinely did…
Perfectly Us by Samantha Brinn
Perfectly Us is the kind of romance that reminds you why second-chance love stories hit so deeply. Samantha Brinn delivers an emotional, swoony football romance filled with found family, healing after loss, and a hero who might just be the definition of a green-flag book boyfriend. Cameron Lowry has spent the last ten years focused…
Only for Him by Natasha Madison
(ARC Read) First off, I hate Josephine. That is all. Now that we’ve cleared that up… Only for Him is book three in Natasha Madison’s Only For series, and it delivers an emotional, character-driven hockey romance full of heartbreak, healing, and the kind of love that grows slowly when two guarded people finally decide to…
Endgame by Willa Gray
“Love is such a small word for something so big.” How the heck is this a debut novel? Because Endgame just became one of my favorite hockey romances, and I genuinely cannot believe this is Willa Gray’s first book. From the moment I picked it up, I was completely locked in. I finished it in…
Take My Kiss by Brooke Montgomery
I am once again head over heels for this series. The spice level? Perfect.The men? Absolutely down bad for their women.The women? Strong, independent, and allergic to accepting help even when they desperately need it. And Colton Langston? Book boyfriend perfection. Colt is the kind of man who doesn’t just say he wants a family—he…
Cocky Mother Pucker by Sarah Smith
(ARC Review) Sarah Smith truly never misses, and Cocky Mother Pucker is the perfect kickoff to the Hollis U series. What starts as a cocky college hockey romcom quickly turns into something surprisingly heartfelt, layered, and genuinely emotional. Nick St. George is known for three things: he’s captain of the hockey team, he’s ridiculously hot,…
Change the Play by Kaylee Ryan
(ARC Review) From the emotional prologue to that perfect final epilogue, this story had the kind of love that lingers. We’ve known Foster Vaughn as the broody, quiet one of the Nashville Rampage. He’s the man who loves his teammates fiercely but keeps himself just out of reach. While his four best friends found their…
