The Roommate Rules by Brighton Walsh
(ARC Review) Move over Steele brothers, because Declan is officially my favorite. I did not see that coming, but here we are. If tension could be heard, it would sound like the nonstop spark between Declan and Penelope. From the second they’re on the page together, their banter is quick, sharp, and just a little…
Safe Keeping by Kristen Proby
(ARC Read) This age gap, bodyguard romance absolutely hit for me. Gideon James, the ultimate definition of protective. Former Secret Service agent, now running his security training facility on his family’s ranch, and still carrying the weight of his past, especially the moment that ended his career. He’s controlled, a little grumpy, and he keeps…
Chasing the Fire by Paisley Hope
I genuinely don’t know how to put into words what Chasing the Fire did to me, but I’m going to try anyway, because this story deserves more than a quick, surface-level reaction. At its core, it’s about two people who don’t believe they’re worthy of the kind of love they’ve always wanted and what happens…
All for Love by Willow Aster
There’s just something about an airport meet cute that hits, and this one? Easily one of the most memorable I’ve read. Dahlia literally passing out mid-flight and waking up in Dylan’s lap was so chaotic it was laughable and somehow, it set the tone perfectly for everything that followed. What starts as an unexpected, slightly…
Tangled in Trouble by Harloe Rae
(ARC Read) I love a good opposites-attract romance, but Tangled in Trouble takes it a step further by throwing an ex-con “nanny” into the life of a grumpy, widowed single dad who absolutely should know better, and then letting his daughter make the final call. And honestly? Ronnie might be the smartest character in the…
Just Another Summer Crush by Lyra Parish
(ARC Read) When I get an ARC from Lyra Parish, everything else immediately goes on hold, and Just Another Summer Crush was no exception. I picked this up and finished it in one afternoon because I simply couldn’t put it down. This book is sunshine, salt air, chemistry, and just the right amount of spice…
Test of Time by Harlow James
(ARC Read) Harlow James delivers another emotional, heartfelt knockout with Test of Time, a story about healing, second chances, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you when you least expect it, and then completely takes you down with it. “We all have scars. Some are hidden on the inside, and some are…
Ryder by Jessica Peterson
(ARC Review) One hard fall in the rodeo ring. One maddeningly gorgeous cowboy. One chance at love she swore she’d never take… and wow, Jessica Peterson absolutely delivered with Ryder. I have been waiting for Ryder Rivers, and this man did not disappoint. If you know me, you know I love my cowboys, and Ryder?…
Prospector’s Peak by Emma Slate
(ARC Read) There’s something to be said for a slow burn…but there’s also something incredibly satisfying about a love that strikes fast and hard, like the lighting of a match. And that’s exactly what Emma Slate delivers with Brooks and Poet in Prospector’s Peak. Their connection is immediate, intense, and all-consuming, and honestly, I loved…
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…
