  Happy weekend! Can anyone say "baseball romance"? Spring reminds me how much I love that sport. With MLB season kicking off this month, it's time to break out the bats. I have two new baseball romances for you that you won't want to miss.  for you. One just released and one coming this week. They were both five star reads for me. Truly, get reading. Until next time... A Whole New Ball Game by Stephanie Rose ARC: Release Date- 04/24/2025 #AgeGap #Celebrity #Forbidden #OneNightStand #SingleMom #SecretRomance #Sports #Workplace I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. This new full-length standalone romance is written in first person from an alternating dual POV and ends with a HEA. I am telling you now; this is one of my top reads of the year. These characters embedded into my heart where they will stay forever. I loved that life had thrown them both a lot of garbage, yet they each survived and came out ...

  Happy weekend! I read three ARCs over the last week or so. Life is buy but I am still finding time to read. And what good reads they were! City billionaire, cocky hockey player, and gold-hearted cowboy headline these three books with stories that will grab you and not let go. I hope you add them to your TBR. Happy reading! Just A Little Crush (Sterling Family Crossover #1)  by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde                         ARC: Release Date- 04/15/2025 #Billionaire #BestFriendsBrother #FakeRelationship #SingleDad #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this romance can stand alone and ends with a HEA. I fell in love with Caleb in Raven’s book. He is such a good brother to her and father to his son. He is protective with a kind heart. He is l...

  Happy weekend. I have been traveling since March 31st so I have only read two ARCs in that time. I will be home in a couple more days and I am looking forward to my own bed, my reading corner, and my hubby,  I will say that both of the books I read were amazing. Though both are set in small towns, they were different. Claire Kingsley's new book is a romantic suspense, second chance that kept me engaged despite multiple interruptions to my reading. Harlow James' new book delivers a cinnamon roll hero I fell absolutely in love with. You really can't go wrong with either one.   I am off to spend more time with family today. Until next time, happy reading. Whispers and Wildfire (Haven Brothers #4)  by Claire Kingsley ARC: Release Date- 04/10/2025 #EnemiesToLovers #SecondChance #FamilySeries #RomanticSuspense #SmallTown #ARC Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. I fell for Luke while read...

  During the last week of the month, I managed to read four books. Two ARCs, a book club book, and an erotica book that I kept seeing on social media. Two of the authors were new-to-me authors. All were interesting reads. I am very excited to attend book club and hear the different takes on "Hello, Stranger" by Katherine Center. Jade West's "The Naughty List" was delightfully smutty. "Elderwood Sound" by Annie Dyer provided one of the most amazing series wrap books ever. I hate to leave Puffin Bay behind. "Changing the Play" by Emily Silver allowed Derek to have a full redemption from the guy we knew from previous books. It was a busy week personally and a wonderful week of reading.  Until next time, happy reading! Elderwood Sound (Puffin Bay #8) by Annie Dyer ARC: Release Date-04/01/2025 #Celebrity #FriendsToLovers #SmallTown #ARC This is written in first person from an alternating dual POV and ends with a HEA. Though Caleb and Zoey’s story ...

  To say the last few weeks have been crazy in my personal life would be a massive understatement. I read 4 books, including one ARC and one novella though. Check out these reviews and add some good books to your TBR. Happy Reading! The Girlfriend Zone (Love and Hockey #4)  by Lauren Blakely ARC: Release Date- 03/26/2025 #AgeGap #CinnamonRollHero #Forbidden #OneNightStand #Sports #Workplace #ARC Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this book can be read as a standalone and ends in a HEA. Miles Falcon is probably one of my favorite hockey heroes ever. He is a caretaker with a heart that is huge. I adore his relationship with his family and his teammates. His meet-cute with Leighton is beyond adorable. He falls immediately. Sometimes you just know. A hot date with a one-night stand comes to an abrupt halt when her relationship to Coach is revealed. That doesn’t stop Miles. He pursues friendship with this young woman of his dreams and waits patiently for ...

  Happy weekend! I just finished my ARC of Lucy Score's book which is releasing this week. OMG! I loved it so much! My review really doesn't do justice to the feelings and laughter this book created within me. I also read two books from my TBR. I finished the 3rd book in the Naughty Princess Club by Tara Sivec, and I read my first book by JJ Knight. When life gets tough, laughter is the best medicine. Thank you Lucy, Tara, and JJ for making me laugh this week. Story of My Life (Story Lake #1) by Lucy Score           ARC: Release Date- 03/11/2025 #GrumpyHero #Fling #FamilySeries #SmallTown Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. Hazel is a romance author who finds herself in a slump after an ugly divorce. She has become a seriously hot mess. Her best friend and agent, Zoey, has done her best to get Hazel to move forward but it is not working. When a late night and a lot o...

  I read four books this week to finish out February. One ARC, one book that has been on my TBR for a while, and two books by new-to-me author Tara Sivec.  I love when the romance community comes together to support their own and they did it with style on February 26th, declaring it Tara Sivec Day. Tara is an author battling an aggressive breast cancer and readers were encouraged to buy and read Tara's books to help with her astronomical medical costs. The first book of her Naughty Princess Club series has been on my kindle for several months, so reading that series seemed like the easiest place to start for me. As an author, she has actually been hovering on my list for years. I remember Pippa Grant mentioning her in a newsletter as a laugh out loud author. I have been meaning to read her work ever since. This month, her day was the push I needed and I am blown away by her humor, comedic timing, and fun characters.  Check out my reviews and add all of these to your TBR. ...
