Cute But Psycho by Lani Lynn Vale

 Happy Release Day to the wonderful Lani Lynn Vale! 

Are you ready for more Gator Bait MC? 

I love how Etienne wastes NO time when he gets out of prison.

Just his whole vibe from the very beginning is very intriguing!

I love his name, and Matilda's, too, btw. ; ) 


My Review:

I adore Etienne & Matilda! Once they get together, they have a fun & sweet relationship. I love her quirks & his devotion. I love their banter & the way he anticipates her needs & meets them. There is also definitely some 🔥🔥🔥 going on. LOL

There were a couple head-scratching moments that had me a little confused, but overall I enjoyed the story, and these two are one of my favorite LLV couples! Individually & together, the made me smile & I would absolutely hang out with them in life. 

Also, I really love the friendships all around between the guys, and Di & Matilda. 


😍😍😍

Wish by Cambria Hebert

 Cambria Hebert is one of my tippy top favorite authors! 

Her Take It Off series had me obsessed when I read them. 

Her House of Misfits series still enthralls me during re-reads.

And her Westbrook Elite swimmers are ... Mwha!! : ) 




Wish is her latest in this series, and it's MM - which you know I don't read regularly, and Cambria's Prince (from the Misfits series) is still one of my FAVORITE stories. I highly recommend! Our couple in Wish is Wes, the Elite swimmer, and his Max - and their relationship might be conventionally "forbidden" but it makes sense, and they are perfect for one another! AND WE GET MORE JAMIE & RYAN!

My Review:

Bro!! Wes & Max are angsty, which I normally don't enjoy. With them, tho, it felt... right. They have very intense things to work through to get to where they needed to be, so the longing and push-pull made sense.

Plus, even in the angsty moments, their absolute love and devotion shine from the page!

I love their relationship and also the friendships highlighted with Jamie, Ryan, and their group. Swimming may be an individual sport, but these guys are a true TEAM. I especially enjoyed seeing Max & Jamie's friendship develop. 💚

Great story, lots of 🔥🔥🔥 for those who enjoy that, suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat, and all the emotions to make you smile!!

Huge thumbs up!! I'm looking forward to even more from this series!

Until Willow by Aurora Rose Reynolds

 Happy New Release to one of my first indie authors! 

Aurora Rose Reynolds 

From the minute I saw the title Until November, I knew this was an author for me. I don't think I'd ever seen a character named my birth month before, but I thought it was THE COOLEST! 

Into my Amazon cart it went - I read the story, and devoured it.

Needed the next book, and the next, and the next.

Anyway, I'll stop gushing - I have years of stories & love for this woman! 

Not only for her words, the stories she's crafted, but just her as a person. 

Now, onto this new release! 


My Review:

Omh! Willow & Clay are fabulous! I love these two together. I love the way they meet - their relationship starts with a kiss before they even know each other's name! And not in a creepy way, duh. Lol


We get to see Nico & his protective dad mode, which is great! Clay's family dynamic is written so very well, I wanted to give hugs all around. And possibly a Gibbs smack or two... 😉


Willow is strong & stubborn, but melts -eventually- for Clay. Clay falls hard, and it's delicious. 💚💚💚


We get sweet, heat, suspense, and a pupper! A wonderful, favorite story has been added to this series!!


😍😍😍😍

Never For Him by Jessica Prince

 Happy Happy Release Day!

This is the final book in the Hope Valley series, but there are plenty more stories in connected towns to come from Jessica Prince. And I'm pretty sure I'll love all of them! ; ) 


My love for Hope Valley began with book 1, Out of My League. I devoured that story & it's still one of my favorite books to re-read! I highly recommend the entire series. 



My Review

Hunter & Serenity!! Oh, it makes my heart happy they both get HEAs, and TOGETHER! Swoon!!


Their story starts with a crush, goes into a friendship, and of course works its way into more. I love the suspense, and family and friendship building. Serenity comes into her own with the town, becoming a true part of the community. And I adore the scenes with her & Stella, seeing their bond!


And of course we have the 🔥🔥🔥! Serenity is confident and full of sunshine. Hunter is grumpy, sure, but he's also generous and sweet And pretty dominant in the bedroom! Whew! 


An excellent read featuring the last single hottie of AO getting his happy. Love it lots!!

Effortless by Jennifer Van Wyk

 Jen is AMAZING at small-town HEAs & I love love love her stories! 

Also, as I've mentioned before, she's an Iowa gal & that makes her even cooler! ; ) 




My Review:

Cash & Hadley's story is an effortless read! It's heartwarming and well paced, spicier than this author's previous works, and full of LOL and big grin moments. There are a couple of things that may require tissues, but not in a bad way! 

Hadley has some family issues, but I enjoyed how they (mostly) worked out. And the co-parenting relationship in the story is *chef's kiss* done so well! Then there's the Lake family, full of swoony deliciousness that I'm looking forward to continuing in future stories!! 

And... Kevin! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excellent read!!

😍😍😍😍

Have you read any of Jen's stories? They're all fabulous reads (obviously, if she's one of my favorite authors! *grin*)!! 


TTFN!

Good Trouble by Lani Lynn Vale

 We are back in Florida for more Gator Bait MC shenanigans! 


I really love the covers for this series! 

My Review:

 I enjoyed Luce & Bain, even though their story - or the timeline of their story, maybe - felt a little bit off at times. And the blurb isn't exactly accurate, which always throws me off as I'm reading.

Despite those things, I loved both characters and the relationship they had. And how the club is involved in helping with their drama! It always makes me smile seeing the way the guys are with their brothers' women. 😁

😍😍😍

Braxten by KC Lynn

 I adore KC Lynn! And the Creed Brothers are at the top of my list of favorites from her. They are intense! 



My Review:

Oh goodness, this book is worth the wait! Have been highly anticipating more Creed since finishing Justice & Ryanne's story! 

Braxten & Alice's story takes place not long after Justice, and is quite the emotional ride. My heart aches for the pain they have had to endure, but soars with the love they've found in each other! And in the relationship Alice forges with Knox. They have their own hard-fought bond, which I loved to see develop. 

Their story has heartache and steam, laughter and love, family and suspense. All around a well-plotted, amazing read!!

😍😍😍

Available in Kindle Unlimited! 

Amazon US  https://amzn.to/3EP0VNl

Amazon CA https://amzn.to/3XJTL5t

Amazon UK https://amzn.to/3OJZXXf

Amazon AU https://amzn.to/3Uh49yQ

 

I would say this is technically a stand alone story - it is obviously about a different couple than Justice. However, I think this particular series will pack the most punch if you read them in order, so I highly recommend reading Justice first. ALSO! If you'd like to learn about another character who helps them out with certain things peripherally, grab another of my favorites, Beautifully Insightful. It's another intense romantic suspense! 


As always, I'd love to know your thoughts if/when you read these delicious stories! 


TTFN!
