  I read two arcs in the second part of October. They were both wonderful reads. Obviously, my personal life has impacted my reading as I only finished 5 books this month. I can't tell you when the last time was that I read so little. The positive part was all of the books I read this month were very good. Until next time, happy reading! Can't Believe You Came (Mile High Matched #5)  by Christina Hovland ARC: Release Date- 10/24/2025 #CinnamonRollHero #OppositesAttract #ARC I am voluntarily writing this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. It is written in third person, can be read as a standalone, and ends with a HEA. I have loved this series from the beginning. It is wonderful to finally see the last Dvornakov get their HEA. Zach is a cinnamon roll hero to love. He falls first, fast, and hard for Piper. Piper, who is type A personified, does her best to control every situation she is in and Zach is an outlier. His calm and steady presence c...

  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 ...

  Happy weekend! I read five books this week. All by authors I have read previously.  I have continued with the Arranged Monster Mates novella series, gone back to the beginning of the Howl's Edge Island series, and read one of Susie Tate's that has been on my TBR. I also read an ARC by Harlow James that was amazing and Lilian Harris' new release which kept me n the edge of my seat. My dad is doing much better and I get to fly home tonight and resume all of my regular life duties and responsibilities.  I look forward to the books I have planned for the next week. Have you read anything great lately? If so, give me the recs in the comments on this post.  Until next week, happy reading. Sometimes You Fall (Carrington Cove #3)  by Harlow James ARC: Release Date- 01/17/2025 #FriendToLovers #SmallTown #SingleMom #SurprisePregnancy #ARC Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. Grady is an amazing hero....

  Happy weekend! Eleven days into May and I have finished eight ARCs. Some might say when it rains, it pours: but I can tell you this has been a very enjoyable storm. Each of these books captured me in their own way. I loved them all. I also really appreciated the variety built into this month's arc reads.  Those following me may notice that I am no longer going to attach a star rating to my blog reviews. I have to for other platforms because it is either required, necessary for authors to be seen in algorithms, or both. I realized this week (it took me a while) that I don't have to assign that here. I am honestly not a huge fan of the star rating system. Two books can both be five stars in my eyes for very different reasons. Maybe one would be 8 stars if that was an option, but there is no where to rate that. The purpose of my reviews is to share what I liked or even loved about the books I read. In all reality, if I am not loving it, I will DNF the book and not review. There...

  Happy almost Monday. It seems like I can only run behind this month. I read three ARCs and listened to one audiobook in the first couple of weeks this month. During that time I have also spent time in four states, including attending the Charm City Romanticon book signing in Ellicott City, Maryland, with my oldest daughter for a girls' weekend. Driving, flying, packing and unpacking books, visiting with friends and family, and even some work at my paying job, have kept me very, very busy. I am also getting reading to leave again. This week I will drive to Aurora, Colorado to attend readers Take Denver as an assistant to author Sara Madderson/Elodie Hart.  I am excited to see more book friends and to meet new authors. But I will also admit that I am tired.  This will be my third signing in six weeks with other travel and obligations in between. I am looking forward to some dedicated reading tome to recover.  In the meantime, take a look at my reviews of these new re...

  Happy weekend! This week I read four ARCs and a novella that has been on my TBR since it released last October. Madison Score's book is her debut novel and is a mystery with romance. It is the beginning of a multi-book series. "Roman", by Melanie Moreland, was a fantastic read that wraps up the Men of the falls duet. Book one, "Aldo", is already available.  Grab it and read now so you are ready when Roman releases on March 6th. "The Best Kept Secret" by Emily Silver begins a new series for her that is a hockey romance series.  It was a wonderful read with Romeo and Juliet elements. "Hold Me" by Tawna Fenske is book three in her Cherry Blossom Lake series. The town playboy falls hard for innocent Zoe. Finally, I read "Venice, Actually" by Kelly Reynolds. As her second published book, it is impressive with the diverse and well-developed characters and story; especially in a novella length book. I hope my reviews help you add some of...
