Lassoed Love by Ann Einerson
(ARC Read) This was such a cozy, feel-good romance that was simply a really cute and enjoyable read. Lassoed Love follows Birdie, an awkward, big-hearted animal lover who drunkenly asks her best friend’s older brother for… spicy lessons. And honestly? From that moment on, I was hooked by the charm of their story. Birdie is…
The Good Girl Exception by Maren Moore
(ARC Read) I need a moment because I am unwell after this book. Maren Moore really said “let’s take a preacher’s daughter, give her a rebellion arc, and pair her with a broken, emotionally unavailable ex-NHL man” and absolutely delivered. From the very first chapter, this book hooks you. Maisie deciding she’s done being the…
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…
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…
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…
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…
The Hockey Situation by Lyra Parish
(ARC Read) I am 100% in my feelings after this one. Wow. Lyra Parish—ma’am. Just when I think you can’t outdo yourself, you go and drop this emotional, spicy, chaotic masterpiece. Kendall and Patterson’s tension is hands-down some of the most scorching, raw, and emotionally charged I’ve ever read. These two don’t just dislike each…
