    In August, I read six ARCs and one book from my TBR. I then quickly followed that with two prequel novellas from the author's website to get the background of that world. I had a really fabulous month!  The ARCs were all fantastic! I cannot recommend them enough.  Just check my reviews and add them to your TBR. The TBR book by new-to-me author Lilith Stone (and the prequels) were exactly the palette cleanser I needed between the contemporary romance reads. Until next time, Happy Reading. (Note: I also read one book which has been on my kindle for a while which I chose not to rate or review. It was honestly the worst book I have ever read Therefore, I am not counting it in my review stats for the month.)  While You Were Trending (Accidentally Infamous #2)  by Pippa Grant ARC: Release Date-08/11/2026 #Celebrity #CinnamonRollHero #EnemiesToLovers #Sports #RomanticComedy #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reade...

  I can't believe it's August already!  I was traveling nearly half of July, so I only read 5 books.  Three were ARCs and I managed to read two more books in Koko Heart's Cooper Sisters series. They were all wonderful reads. Check my reviews and add to your TBR today. It’s About Time (Blossom Peak #4) by Harlow James ARC: Release Date- 07/10/2026 #EnemiesToLovers #FriendsToLovers #FakeRelationship #SmallTown #ARC Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this novel ends in the sweetest HEA. Though it is technically a standalone, I encourage readers to read this series in publication order. Dilynne and Elliot have a history that influences how their relationship progresses that is largely detailed in the previous book of this series. Also, understanding the relationship between Elliot and his 3 best friends makes this book all the sweeter. I should have known that Dilynne and Elliot would be hot enough to melt my kindle. I really should have known. Und...

  In June I read nine books. Four were ARCs. And two were by new-to-me author Koko Heart- who has been on my TBR for ages. I will tell you, I had an amazing month of reads. Considering I was traveling 8 days of the month I definitely think I did more than alright. I enjoyed the mix I was able to pull from my TBR with the ATCs I received. I love mixing it up. I also love bingeing a new author, which I haven't been able to do in a long time. I am thoroughly enjoying Koko's Cooper Sisters series and I won't be able to stop till I am done. (I am also including the review of my last read from May below as I apparently did not add it to my blog when the hubby was hospitalized last month.)  Check out my reviews and add these fabulous books to your TBR. Until next time, happy reading! Just Playing for Keeps (Hockey Ever After #2)   by Lauren Blakely ARC: Release Date- 06/03/2026 #BestFriendsBrother #FakeRelationship #GrumpySunshine #Sports #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this...

  I have read more books in the first half of May than I did in all of April. For the first time in a while, I did not have ARCs, so I was just following my mood. I read new recent releases and six books from my TBR. Honestly I loved them all. The best thing about following a mood is getting to read a variety of things. It has been a really fun month so far. Check my reviews and add some books to your TBR. Until next time, happy reading. High Heat: A MMF Baseball Novella #MMF #Novella #Sports Written in first person from Darcy’s POV, this quick, steamy read is a standalone and ends with a HEA. I love everything this author writes.  At times it is truly poetic. I loved how Darcy believes in their baseball ability. I really loved how she is able to see the closeness and unspoken communication ability they have with each other that makes them special on the field.  I adored how Cash and Sawyer are together: tender, protective, and hot.  Darcy is a lucky girl.  ...

  Hello. April was a crazy busy month. I read four ARCs and one book from my TBR.  Three were small-town romances, two were sports romances, two had first responders, and three were single dad heroes. In other words, all just what I like. Check my reviews and add them to your TBR. You won't be sorry. Till next time, happy reading. Test of Time (Blossom Peak #3) by Harlow James ARC: Release Date- 04/10/2026 #SingleDad #GrumpyHero #FirstResponder #SmallTown #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. This is written in first person from an alternating dual POV and ends with a sweet HEA. Though it can be read as a standalone, readers will find the most benefit from reading this interconnected series in order of publication. Rhonan is the grumpy single dad to 5-year-old, Ellis- who is a delight. He is also the protective older brother of Laney from book one in this series. I loved it when Vienna shows up and knocks h...
