Keeping Score by Rebecca Jenshak
(ARC Review) Waking up married to the hottest hockey player alive after a night in Vegas is not exactly on Hannah’s life plan, but neither is falling for her arrogant, charming neighbor who’s been relentlessly asking her out for weeks. When the media catches wind of their shock wedding, Hannah and Travis agree to stay…
Follow the Play by Kaylee Ryan
(ARC Review) Oh my heart—Kaylee Ryan truly outdid herself with Follow the Play. Every time I think this series can’t possibly get sweeter, or more emotionally satisfying, she proves me wrong. Baker Sinclair (aka Daddy Sin) just might be my favorite Rampage player yet, and yes, I feel a little disloyal admitting that. Baker is…
Chasing Home by Piper Rayne
(ARC Review) Ohhhh this one had me in a chokehold. I picked up Chasing Home thinking I was in for a fun, flirty country-music fling, and instead it delivered something far deeper and more satisfying than I ever expected . Piper Rayne absolutely had me wrapped up in Zander Shaw and Romy Owens from the…
Sweet Addiction by Bella Matthews
(ARC Review) Welcome back to Kroydon Hills, friends… and all I have to say is: ROME. FREAKING. TITAN. BENEVENTI. Bella Matthews did not come to play with this man, and I devoured every word like it was my last meal. Dillan and Rome have been dancing around each other for years—all sharp glares, snarky comebacks,…
Where You Belong by Kristen Proby
(ARC Review) We all knew Brooks Blackwell’s story was going to wreck us a little, and Kristen Proby made sure of it. Fifteen years ago, Juliet didn’t walk away from the man she loved because she stopped loving him. She left because someone she trusted twisted her loyalty into something dangerous. What looked like a…
Duke by Jessica Peterson
(ARC Review) “Of course I know what a bluebonnet is. I just don’t get why I have a nickname all of a sudden.”“Because you’re my Texas flower, remember?” Wheeler Rankin doesn’t go to Lucky River Ranch looking for romance. She’s just there to visit her best friend Mollie, handle business, and prove (yet again) that…
500 First Editions by Maggie Gates
I knew this was going to be a five-star read the second I met Willow Winslet in chapter one (I mean, how can you not love someone bold enough to buy a drugstore vibrator on a Friday night), but somehow Maggie Gates kept making it better. This book starts like a hilarious rivals-to-lovers rom-com and…
So Pucking Good by Sarah Smith
(ARC Review) “For the good girls who love getting railed by the bad boy.” Sometimes a story doesn’t just give you butterflies—it gives you hope. So Pucking Good is exactly that: tender, sexy, and full of the kind of friendship-first love that makes you believe in second chances and slow healing. When we first meet…
Black Ties & White Lies by Kat Singleton
Oh my HEART. I loved this book! Beck and Margo were such a ride in the best way. I melted. I kicked my feet. I blushed my way through five straight chapters of spice. Their chemistry isn’t fleeting or forced — it’s combustible and constant, a slow-burn obsession that finally has the space to ignite….
Freeing the Wild by Paisley Hope
“Haden, tell me something real.” Paisley Hope has officially carved out a permanent spot on my auto-buy list because she did it again. Freeing the Wild is everything I love in a small-town cowboy romance. It’s achingly heartfelt with just the right amount of toe-curling spice, and it’s packed with the kind of character depth…
