    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 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!

  In the last 21 days of the longest month in existence, I read four ARCs. Two were hockey romances. Two were single dad. All were fantastic. The hubby and I took a week off in California to spend some time with family. Though it impacted my reading, I wouldn't trade those memories for anything. There are a lot more good books that were released in January and I hope to read them soon. Till next time, happy reading. On Borrowed Time (Blossom Peak #2) by Harlow James ARC: Release Date- 01/16/2026 #GrumpySunshine #Nanny #SingleDad #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 HEA. Though this story can be read as a standalone, readers will want to read book one of the series first to avoid spoilers if that bothers them. Henley is such a delightfully broken grump of a man. At 32, he had a traumatic childhood that left him feeling unworthy...

  Welcome to the end of 2025. In December I read a total of 8 books plus a collection of erotic short stories that I left unrated. In this post you will find reviews for my last 5 reads of the year. Four of them are by new-to-me authors. They are all very good and would be good additions to your TBR. After taking a step back from several ARCs these last few months, I found myself really leaning into mood reading. I found myself drawn to FB ads while mindlessly scrolling and gave into the urge to check out those books on several occasions. It was delightful. I hope my reviews help you find your next read. Here's to wishing all of us a happy 2026 full of books, love, and happiness. Call Me Anytime by Max Monroe #AgeGap #RomanticSuspense #Slowburn #Virgin Written in first person, from an alternating dual POV, this is a standalone with a HEA.
