A fist fight shouldn’t be flirting.

I’m so close to the NHL draft and the dream I’ve worked towards my entire life and he’s made it his mission to ruin it all. Ktytor is the super star enforcer for our biggest rivals the Massachusetts Monsters. He has a counter for every move I make like he’s inside my head.

He’s cocky, infuriating, and knows just how to get under my skin. His torments finally push me over the edge so when he suggests we finish our on-ice fight outside after the game, I gladly accept

What I didn’t expect was our trading blows to end in us making out.

I’ve never even considered being with a guy before and now I have to pretend to hate him while sneaking around and navigating our public rivalry.

We’re at each other’s throats and it only makes him hotter. 


September 22nd:


Undeniably Corrupt by J. Saman

When my ex leaves me and my little girl penniless, the last person I expect to step in is my childhood sweetheart, Vander Moore.

It's been years since he walked out of my life, and now he's barreling back into it, seeking redemption, and making me an offer I can't refuse--to become his new assistant.

But everything has changed, including him. The broody, sinfully hot bad boy CEO doesn't trust anyone. Especially me.

It isn't long before we're butting heads and fighting at every turn.

He’s a walking red flag. One I need to stay far away from.

Except when life throws me yet another curveball and my daughter and I are forced to move in with him, I start to see the man behind the mask.

And all the tension and heat we've been resisting ignites, consuming us both.

But with each forbidden touch and toe-curling encounter, I give him another piece of my heart.

He says he'll do whatever it takes to keep me and my daughter safe. Even if it costs him everything.

But there are some things even this undeniably corrupt man can't hack his way out of. And it's coming for all of us.

BLURB

Bianca

This entire mess started when my older brother’s best friend got hired to be my bodyguard.

Colton Keller has been keeping an eye on me ever since he came to live on our ranch. The wall of muscle wrapped in mysterious darkness has spoken less than five words to me in the same amount of years.

But now that Colton’s position is official, he follows me like a reclusive shadow. I try to ditch him at every turn, but he never lets me get too far.

Just as I’m about to get more creative with my evasive maneuvers, a threat to my safety pushes him to the extreme.

 

Colton

I’m obsessed with my best friend’s younger sister. There’s no other way to describe my desire for Bianca Benson.

It’s another secret saddled to me. 

But then her brother assigns me to watch over the reckless rodeo princess, as if I haven’t been doing that already.

What started as an obligation to protect her has grown into a necessity.

It’s the only part of her that’s mine.

At least until my past resurfaces to haunt me.

Bianca bucks my restrictive methods as complications force my hand. She wants answers that I’m not ready to share.

I’ll only surrender once she’s ready to admit the truth.

My infatuation might’ve started it, but hers will save us. 


October 2nd:


Top Shelf by Teagan Hunter


I have two goals this season:
1. Prove to the Seattle Serpents I’m more than just the old guy.
2. Don’t fall for my captain’s stepsister.

In my defense, I had no clue who Vanessa was when we met. We were in a different city. How was I supposed to know she’s my teammate’s stepsister?

Now she’s in Seattle, still healing from her divorce, and apparently, she’s here to stay. That would be fine if I didn’t still think about our night together every waking hour. Thing is, I do think about it—constantly—and then when I find out she needs a place to live, I offer my spare room.

We’re roommates, and that’s it. Until it isn’t.

We’re just having fun, that’s all. Except nothing feels like just fun. It feels far too real and far too serious, and her stepbrother has no idea about us living together or that I’m slowly falling for her.

So much for focusing on the season…

Beyond the Blue Horizon by A.L. Jackson


I should have known I’d break the promise I made when I found her stranded in a blizzard…

Feisty as hell and the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.

With the cutest kid and her grandmother in tow, she’s completely off limits.

I don't get involved with women like that.

I learned long ago I don't have the ability to love.

My life is sordid and danger is always hiding in the shadows.

Only I can’t turn my back on them when I realize she’s in trouble, and I insist on them staying in a cabin at the motel I own.

As penance for my sins, I promised my life to protecting others.

Except she becomes so much more.

A need I don’t recognize. A desperation that burns beneath my flesh.

One kiss, and I’m falling for her.

One touch, and I’m at her feet.

But when my dark past comes back to haunt me, I’m in a race against time to save the only woman I’ve ever loved. Only it may be the demons that have been chasing her that destroy what we built…


Tropes:

💙 Single mom⁠
🪵 Motel shenanigans⁠
💙 Heroine in hiding⁠
🪵 Hate to love⁠
💙 He falls first⁠
🪵 Touch her and ☠️
💙 Band of brothers⁠
🪵 Morally gray hero⁠
💙 Secret society⁠
🪵 Small town⁠

Blurb:

Coaching in the women’s hockey league is my dream. What I didn’t plan on? Having to coach my ex…

When I took the job with the Toronto Rosebuds hockey team, I never thought I’d be reunited with the woman that ruined me for all others.

Lydia Bishop.

Playing hockey and Lydia are my past. My future is with this new team. Lydia is a distraction I can’t afford.

The more time I spend with Lydia, the more I realize I might not be as over her as I thought. Until one night, we cross a line. A line I don’t want to come back from.

She’s my player. I can’t be seen with her. Sneaking around is our only option until the world finds out about us and I’m forced to choose.

The future I’ve always wanted or the past I don’t want to let go of.

I am so pucking screwed…


All This Time (Blossom Peak #1) by Harlow James

Blurb:

Fletcher Adams is not just the man that stole my heart at fifteen and never gave it back.

He’s also my brother’s best friend, and now one of the most famous players in the NFL.

But now he’s back in Blossom Peak for our mutual friend’s wedding, and guess who are the maid of honor and best man?

That would be us.

I’ve spent the past twelve years ignoring what happened between us that fateful night, and avoiding him as much as possible when he did pop into town to visit.

But now he’s everywhere.

In my salon getting a massage to support my business.

Participating in yoga to support my family’s winery.

And even hacking into my phone to monitor my glucose—which makes me furious and also a little bit weak in the knees.

Then he finds out that my ex-fiancé never satisfied me in the bedroom, so he instantly volunteers for the job.

Turns out time couldn’t snuff the flames that still burned between us.

But Fletcher has demons from his past he hasn’t faced, the kind that you can try to bury but always manage to get washed up in a storm.

And this storm just might destroy us both.

There’s one thing we can’t deny however, even though we try—feelings still matter, even after all this time.

Half-Light Harbor by Samantha Young

I went to Scotland looking for answers about my past. The last thing I expected was getting trapped on a private island with my stoic, brooding, gorgeous contractor.

Ramsay McRae is a man with secrets. He prefers the company of his dog to people and silence to any semblance of politeness. He says I’m too young, too sweet, too innocent.

Only he doesn’t know the truth. That I’m haunted by a crime that tore my life apart two years ago. I’ve come to Half-Light Harbor not just to start over, but to bring the monster who killed my parents to justice.

The last thing I need is a tortured Scot distracting me from my mission. But when his restraint snaps and my walls crumble, the results are explosive.

We say it’s only a no-strings-attached affair. A temporary moment to burn out this fire between us.

However, when my search for the truth brings danger to my door, it’s Ramsay stepping in to protect me. But it might be the secrets from his past that tear us apart forever…

Merry Little Kissmas by Lauren Blakely

Wanted: A fresh shot at love for the holidays. But fake dating my brother’s grumpy best friend? He’s my new client, for Santa’s sake!


As a professional matchmaker, my biggest job this holiday season should be simple: find a date for the sexy single dad hockey playeraka my brother’s best friend—for his team’s fancy Christmas Eve gala. 


Sure Rowan’s hot as a crackling fire and spicier than a gingerbread man, but he hasn’t just sworn off romance. The Christmas hater has made a bet that I can’t find him a holidate.


What’s a matchmaker to do?


Win, of course. Even if it means fake dating the grinch myself to get him ready for the real thing.


Only…these fake dates at Christmas tree farms and hot cocoa competitions in the snowy small town of Evergreen Falls start to feel a little too real as I get to know the man behind the scowl. Somewhere between kisses under the mistletoe and a snowed-in night in his cabin curled up by the fire (where the stockings aren’t the only thing hung), I realize I’m in over my elf-loving head.


And when Rowan opens up to me at last about his painful past, I’m determined to give my brother’s best friend the holiday he deserves.


But what if the only gift I want him to unwrap this season is… me?

Tropes: Holiday romance, brother’s best friend, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, small town, Christmas competition, matchmaker romance, workplace romance

The Unbreaking of a Heart (The Heart Sisters #1) 

by Annie Dyer

Some of you might remember Seph Callaghan from The Partnership…
Well, his stepdaughter has her own story now — and oh my HEART.
Meet Rose Callaghan, the first of The Heart Sisters — four women who met as girls in hospital and never let go of each other. 🫀👯‍♀️
Rose’s childhood best friend?
Her first crush?
The boy who kissed her and then grew up to become the man she never forgot?
He’s BACK.
In London.
And he’s ENGAGED.
😭😭😭
Cue all the longing, heartbreak, and “what could’ve been” vibes.
This is the start of a deeply emotional, romantic, messy and moving new series about love, healing, and second chances.
Here’s the blurb:
Her first love. Her first heartbreak. The boy who promised her forever is back… with a ring on someone else’s finger.
Rose Callaghan knows better than to believe in fairytales. Not after everything. Not after the heart that failed her, the love that left her, and the future that shattered before it ever began.
But once, there was a boy.
Carter Reeves.
Her best friend. Her first kiss. The only person who ever made her believe in more.
They were inseparable as kids — bound by secrets, by hope, by the surgery that saved her life and the long, quiet summers that followed. Time and distance pulled them apart, like it does with so many childhood things. But even now, a part of Rose is still wondering if the boy from her fairytales might finally become the man of her dreams.
Then Carter comes back to London.
And he’s not alone.
He’s engaged.
And Rose is about to learn the hardest truth of all — some hearts don’t break. They shatter.

Love You, Mean It by Laura Pavlov

Set in the wild beauty of the Last Frontier, this heartwarming grumpy-sunshine romance from bestselling author Laura Pavlov lights a spark between a fiery wedding planner and a single-dad contractor.


My new landlord's a real hard-ass. And I can't keep my hands off him.

Charlie Huxley's the best–and grumpiest–general contractor in Blushing, Alaska. He built the venue for the wedding planning business my bestie and I share. After I accidentally flood my home, he offers me his guesthouse while he handles the repairs. But when he starts to take charge, I feel myself losing control.

Unable to resist, we casually hook up. We both know once will never be enough.

Between us, we carry plenty of baggage. I've got the absent father, drunk mother, and estranged sister. He grew up in foster care and is single-handedly raising a daughter whose mom visits just once a year.

But Charlie makes me feel like I belong. And for the first time ever, I picture myself with a real family.

Before I go all in, I need to learn to set some boundaries.

Question is: Am I strong enough?

Brooke's Bliss by Lexi Blake

Brooke Harper thought she would make it big in New York City, but she knew her heart would always be back in her hometown of Bliss, Colorado. She'd intended to come home as the big-shot fashion designer she'd always wanted to be, but her dream job turned into a nightmare, and now she's crawling home to lick her wounds. When she meets up with two hot cowboys one night at Hell on Wheels, she decides they're just what she needs to get her groove back.

Bailey Kent hasn't stopped thinking about Brooke since he met her years before when he first visited Bliss. She's his dream woman, and now she's within reach. She responds so beautifully not only to him, but to his brother. They've shared women all their lives, but both know Brooke is the one. There's only one problem. She's his muse, but she sees him as a way station, not the destination on this journey she's taking.

Only one problem? Shane Kent knows his brother sometimes doesn't see the bigger picture. Bay's head and heart are wrapped up in his art, and it's Shane's job to remember the reality of whatever situation they're in, and this time it's big trouble. Their last job took them to a ranch that might have been selling more than cattle. Shane witnessed something criminal and they ran, but their old crew is looking for them and he's worried they'll find Brooke, too. And then there's the fact that they once hit on her sister-in-law and her brothers hate them...

It'll take a miracle to bring these three together, so it's a good thing Bliss is known for them.

Yule Be Mine by Piper Rayne


When workaholic best man Carter arrives in Mistletoe Falls for his best friends’ Christmas wedding, a town-wide Santa Festival and a misplaced motel reservation leave him with one option—beg the woman he once rejected for a room at her bed-and-breakfast. Unfortunately, that woman also happens to be the bride’s sister…and the maid of honor.

To make matters worse, the bride and groom are delayed, turning Ashley and Carter into last-minute wedding planners, forced into a truce neither of them wants. But late-night checklists, a blizzard of holiday activities, and a charming small town turn their snark into sparks.

When they get snowed in and every near-kiss feels dangerously close to something real, Carter realizes there’s more to December than year-end deadlines.

As their truce melts, one question remains—is this a holiday fling, or the start of forever?

Duke (Lucky Rivers Ranch) by Jessica Peterson

One chance meeting on a Texas ranch.

One wild, too-charming cowboy.

One snowed-in night that changes everything.

Wheeler Rankin isn’t here for romance—she’s come to Lucky River Ranch to visit her best friend, wrangle a business deal, and prove herself to everyone who ever doubted her. But when she collides with Duke Rivers—resident heartbreaker, restless cowboy, and brother to her best friend’s new flame—sparks fly hotter than a Texas summer.

But passion brings complications—and unexpected news threatens to upend everything Wheeler’s built. As family pressures, old wounds, and new dreams collide, Duke is determined to stand by her side, ready to forge a future neither of them ever imagined.

Can two fiercely independent souls trust in love, face their fears, and find home in each other’s arms? Or will the ghosts of the past keep them apart for good?

Welcome back to Hartsville, where family is found, love is hard-won, and every cowboy has a story worth telling.

Book reviews for books read May 3rd - May 10th

  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. Anchored by Marika Ray ARC: Release Date- 05/13/2025 #FakeRelationship #ForcedProximity #SmallTown #SecondChance #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book.

Best Reads of 2024

 It is 2025! It feels like 2024 flew by.  This year's "best of" list is a little different.  In part this is due to time constraints and in part due to the fact that some trope categories have a LOT of excellent reads.  I just could not narrow them down to even eight for the graphics. I obviously have my favorite tropes, as this list will tell you. If you don't see a trope here on this list, it may be that I read one and it just wasn't quite a five star read for me. Most of the books I read are either four or five star reads. I have found what I like, and I tend to stick to it. You can search the labels on the main page of my blog or search in the general search bar to pull up books from another category and read my reviews. If a book is on this list, it was a five star read for me. That means I loved it, I found no major flaws in timeline, editing, or characters, and I would want to read it again. The links I am including are for Amazon out of ease, but several o...

Book reviews for books read May 11th-25th

This is the third book in the series, and it is written in first person from Harper’s POV. This book is driven heavily by dialogue, and I personally did not miss having the male POV.
