  Debut Author Spotlight: Cathryn Lyons Funny story: I was attending Charm City Romanticon in Ellicott City, Maryland last month. During a pit stop to the ladies' room, I was talking with Rhon House (Author Caera Everly & PA Extraordinaire) as one does. When she asked me what my ARC schedule looked like, I let her know that April was a nightmare with ten scheduled releases. Fortunately, I was able to opt out of 2 of the ARCs. Then, she asked how May was looking. I told her it was looking a lot more doable. That's when she asked me if I could fit in an ARC for a debut author in May. With some discussion about the anticipated release date, and book length, I readily agreed to read this brand-new author that my friend believed in so much. I do love helping new authors find their audience and Rhon knew me well enough to know I would fall madly in love with this book. Spoiler alert: I did. When I finished it, I immediately reached out to Rhon and asked her if the author might be...

  Happy weekend!  I read two ARCs this week. They were both very different and both very good. Marika Ray's new book is going to be the perfect summer read. Take it to the lake or the beach and fully enjoy the quirky romance between Maple and Holt. I promise you will adore the meddling seniors along the way. Then I read an arc by a debut author and it knocked  my socks off. When was the last time you got a book hangover from a brand new author? Yeah, it is a rare thing but it happened to me this week.  Check my reviews and add these to your TBR. You wont be sorry. Until next time, happy reading.

  Happy weekend! I got a little behind as far as month end wrap up goes but I did read four ARCs this week.  They were all just what I needed. A hockey romance with close proximity, a billionaire surprise pregnancy, an erotic romance with emotional depth, and a reclusive rock star with a heavy side of treasure hunt: they made my week a happy one. Check out my reviews and add these to your TBR. Until next time, happy reading. The Playmaker (Nashville Knights Hockey #2)  by Emily Silver ARC: Release Date 05/02/2025 #SingleDad #Sports #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. The Playmaker is written in first person from an alternating dual POV. As the second book in an interconnected series the story stands alone and ends with a HEA. Because characters from book one do play integral roles in Stevie and Bode's story, some readers may want to read book one first even though it is not necessary for the plot of book two...
