Playing the Backbeat by Jane Hayes
(ARC Read) Playing the Backbeat was my first Jane Hayes book, so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. What I found was a roommates-to-lovers romance overflowing with witty banter, laugh-out-loud humor, and some of the sweetest, most genuine moments between two people simply learning how to be there for each other. That balance is…
Irresistibly Us by Samantha Brinn
(ARC Read) Samantha Brinn, I need to send you an invoice for emotional damages because Irresistibly Us completely took over my life. I knew going in that Tyler and Sophie’s story was going to be special. It was one of my most anticipated releases of the year, and somehow it still exceeded every expectation I…
Fighting Chance by Mads Rafferty
I knew Fighting Chance was going to hurt, but I still wasn’t prepared for how deeply this story would dig in and stay with me. From the very first chapter, and I mean barely 2% in, I was already tearing up. And once this book had my heart, it never gave it back. Mads Rafferty…
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…
Pass Rush by Erin Mackenzie
If there is one word I would use to describe the love story in Pass Rush, it’s gentle. Gentle in the way it unfolds. Gentle in the way Liam loves Demi. Gentle in the way two wounded people learn how to choose each other without losing themselves. Liam Evans… wow. Sir. What an honor it…
Lockdown Corner by Ava Sutton
Ava Sutton really saved something special for Silas and Brooke. Silas Arbuckle is down bad in the most refreshing, green-flag way possible, and he never once tries to hide it. From his teammates to her friends to her protective big brother (his former teammate), Silas is unapologetically all in on Brooke. He sees her worth…
Untouched Heart by Emme Goode
This was my first book by this author, and I am completely blown away. The very first thing that struck me was Emme Goode’s character work. Watching Gage “Grim” Heart slowly transform felt organic, earned, and deeply emotional. His healing doesn’t come from Isabelle alone, but from a combination of her light, his family, and…
Getting the Goalie by Hannah Gray
(ARC Review) Isla Hardy is not just Cam Hardy’s daughter, and Getting the Goalie makes that clear from the very first page. There’s something quietly powerful about opening a book and realizing you’ve come home, and from the moment Isla stepped onto the ice, I felt that familiar Hannah Gray pull, the kind that reminds…
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…
When You Blush by Kristen Proby
You thought you knew all about swoon? Think again—because Blake Blackwell has entered the building. Blake is book boyfriend perfection. 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…
