  This review post is late due to a family emergency that happened about ten days ago now. I feel like I am finally getting my self together a little bit today and was able to put this together finally. During the last week of the month, I read one ARC, one book for book club, and three smutty novellas. Check out my reviews and add so books to your TBR today. My month in review. September turned out to be a good reading month for me. Most of the ARCs that I read that released in September, I actually read in August. That freed up some time to read from my TBR and finish two reading challenges. During the last week of the month, I finished the A to Z reading challenge. Earlier this month, I completed the B.A.N.G. Book Club reading challenge. I also took this as an opportunity to read new-to-me authors and fit in several novellas. Out of the 23 books I read and the 2 I did not finish, I read 19 new-to-me authors! That has to be a record for me. There is a place for smutty insta-love ...

  June has been a heck of a month. My husband has had 2 hospital admissions so far and we are only 23 days in. It has me off my groove a little bit. I was able to read two ARCs and three books from my TBR in the last bit though. Check out my reviews and give these books a try. Beneath Highland Stars (Special Ops Scots #3)  by Kait Nolan ARC: Release Date- 06/20/2025 #EnemiesToLovers #ForcedProximity #RomanticSuspense #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 3 rd book in series can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. Finn is the former Royal Marine who is happy-go-lucky, always joking, always charming- at least on the outside. Underneath he is serious, damaged, and feeling all of his emotions. Saoirse is the town vet and she and Finn have a sappy way of communicating as they try hard to convince themselves that their chemistry isn’t real. Once Sao...

  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! The holidays are upon us and it has been a busy week.  I read two ARCs, three novellas, and two books from my TBR this week (one of which I read as a combination read & listen).  I also finally finished the Roan Parrish audiobook  I started before Thanksgiving.  I think there is a little something for everyone.  Three of these books were new-to-me authors an now I have some new favorites.  In a follow up to last week's post, one of these (A Holiday Lift) was actually a paperback I had on my shelf that I picked up in Philly.  I am hopeful my reviews will help you decide which ones you might like to add to your TBR. Happy reading!  Illegal Contact (Denver Mountain Lions #4) by Emily Silver ARC: Release Date- 12/22/2022 #Sports #Forbidden #Workplace #AgeGap #OWYM #ARC 5 STARS This is book 4 in the series, but it can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA.  It is written in first person from an alternating dual POV. ...

  Happy weekend!  I had a fabulous reading week.  I read three ARCs and a book from my TBR for Book Club.  Of those, there were two football books (tis the season) and one new-to-me author.  Anna Michael's new release features a neuro-diverse heroine and a former rock star, now billionaire, hero.  I loved their age gap and everything about their story. Samantha Young's new book was my first read by her and I am still thinking about that story many days later.  Emily Silver's new release is a wonderful MM romance with a closeted hero and his journey to come out of  the closet to hold onto the love of a lifetime.  Finally, Wildcat by Max Monroe, was a book that has been on my list for ages.  I adored the sports aspect, but even more so, I loved the way bias against race is addressed and overcome by a forever kind of love.  I hope my reviews help you decide if these are books you need to add to your TBR.  I wish everyone a week of...
