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…
All This Time by Harlow James
Set in the charming small town of Blossom Peak, All This Time is everything I want in a second-chance romance. It’s emotional, sexy, and brimming with found family, laughter, and love that feels fated. Laney Hart and Fletcher Adams’ story is heartbreak and hope intertwined. He’s the boy who used to climb through her window…
Change of Hart by Bailey Hannah
I feel like I’ve just run an emotional marathon—my mind and heart are exhausted, but in the best possible way. That’s what the best books do: they pull you in, make you feel like you’re right there in the trenches with the characters, and only let you go when the time is right. It’s all-consuming,…
