    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...

  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...

  In the last week or so of March I felt like the old me and got some reading done. I read two ARCs, backtracked to catch up on a couple of TBR books I hadn't read yet, and read a novella by Hannah McBride that I somehow missed before. Needless to say, despite busy life stuff, this made my month. I'm sure my reading pace is going to vary as life happens, but I was very happy to feel like me again. Check the reviews. Add the books to your TBR. Thank an author today for pulling you into a fantasy world that lets you escape your reality- even for a little while. Happy reading! Ryder (Lucky Rivers Ranch #5) by Jessica Peterson ARC: Release Date- 04/07/2026 #BrothersBestFriend #Cowboy #FriendsToLovers #FamilySeries #SmallTown #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. It is written in first person from an alternating dual POV and ends with a HEA. This is the final book in the Lucky River Ranch series. Though it can be read as...

  March is off to a running start with three ARCs read this week. These were all amazing reads and you should grab them today. The Unbreaking of a Heart (Heart Sisters #1)  by Annie Dyer ARC: Release Date- 02/27/2026 #FriendsToLovers #NeurodiverseMC #SlowBurn #ARC Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this first book in a spin off series can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. Readers first meet Rose in the Callaghan Green series book 10. Readers see her meet Carter at the end of Elevator Pitch (book 11). This book begins almost 20 years later, and we learn of the enduring friendship they have shared. Rose is a character I have loved from the beginning. I love her brilliant mind and her ability to overthink things. Carter has just finished his medical residency in the US when he moved back to London in the hopes he and Rose might be able to be more than just friends. But he has also made a decision that complicates that and creates a little bit of doub...
