Capri's Savior by C.M. Youngren

 Are you looking for a damsel in distress series where the damsels are strong, capable women who aren't afraid to accept help when needed? 


Looking for a great series with found family & awesome, protective heroes?


Have I got a series for you!

And! 

The latest just released - you can binge several stories & still look forward to more!

😁



My Review:

I love this series so much! It's a great blended/found family, and each couple's story has the right amount of suspense, steam, humor, & swoon! Protective, strong characters all around! 💚

Pax & Capri fit right in. I love the way they dance around each other a bit bc of their pasts, and when they give in, they're IN. Capri thinks she'll have to run when danger comes her way, but of course no one lets her go!

Pax has his own things to work through & Capri shows she is perfect for him, too.

Very enjoyable read & am looking forward to more!!

Big Nick Energy by Lani Lynn Vale

 Happy Christmas to LLV fans!!


This was a fun collection of vignettes from several of our favorite families. 

I really enjoyed catching up!!


My Review:

Fun collection of holidays & family time with some of our LLV favorites! Plus a look at how Titus & Blue finally found their way to each other. Very quick snippets that I enjoyed!

This also includes quick peeks into how some of the gang felt during lockdowns & the beginning of the pandemic. Some of those scenes made me cry bc I remember feeling the same way as some of our characters!

Whoa by Cambria Hebert

 Cambria Hebert has been a favorite for years. I saw an add or post for Text in her Take It Off series, & was hooked. Her Westbrook Elite series continues to make me a happy, happy reader! ❤️



My Review:

My heart!! ❤️❤️❤️

I say this all the time, because I'm blessed to read so many amazing authors ... I love this series!! Every book gives us family (blood & found) & friendships that are full of LOVE. The bros aren't afraid of emotion. They show and tell each other they are loved and appreciated, & imo stories that give us these kind of men are a cut above!

Now, specifically Kruger & Jess - 😍😍😍! I have been rooting for Ben to show his true intelligence & he did not disappoint. Yes, he's a jokester & what have you, but he's got a plan for his future, and that plan is brilliant! I love his heart towards Jess, but also towards Prism. The care he takes with this little circle within his circle is fabulous.

I love Jess's heart, as well. She has a bond with her Benji & Matty - each is different (romantic vs familial) but equally strong. Ben is jealous of anyone else hugging his girl, except Matt, bc he's truly both their brother of the heart. And her strength as she navigates the confusion of amnesia, as well as what happens when she regains her memories - thumbs up!!

Also, shoutout to Max here, bc we get to see more of HIS heart, & grumpy Max's heart is beautiful. 😁

Agh, I always end up being so verbose & gushy about these books bc they just bring so much emotion I have to share!

I'll close with this - their story is full of sweetness, and the 🔥🔥🔥 is hot after it ignites, the suspense is oooh, the humor is great fun, & the whole story is like, Whoa!

😍😍😍😍

Show Off by Lani Lynn Vale

 Happy LLV release day! 

: ) 

This series has some tough storylines, as family sagas do, and Hades has one of the toughest backgrounds... But I love her, and I'm so happy she gets her HEA! 

Also, check out the flag placement on this cover. 

*giggles in schoolgirl* 


My Review:

She did it.

I knew she would. I messaged her after reading Freak Show, telling her I knew Hades' redemption was going to be awesome. And. It. Is!!!

Ok, so Hades seemed like the biggest jerk in Ari's book. But finding out her reasons, inner struggles, the truth of what was going on... brilliant! Heart breaking. And healing, when Hannibal is brought into the picture. 

Oh, Hannibal!! I adore him & his protective ways! The way his obsession with Hades begins & continues is swoony in a BA kind of way. I love their relationship & how they truly fit together. I love how she gives him her trust, and how he protects that trust. I love the journey her healing takes 

These two also definitely bring the 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. 

I am falling more in love with this family & am looking forward to more stories!

😍😍😍😍

p.s.

There may be some unexpected past-character cameos. ; )

Redeeming Rabbit by Harley Stone

 Harley Stone has a new story in the Dead Presidents series!! 

I fell in love with this MC full of veterans from the first read of the first book, Link'd Up. 

And now we get Rabbit's story! 

He's intense, and has demons to fight.

He's a badass biker, and a sweetheart to Elenore.

He'll bring out your need to hug a fictional character. 


My Review: 

Oh, Rabbit! You were worth the wait! 

I love this series a lot. The men & women in the Dead Presidents world are all strong, capable characters. Some, like Rabbit, have some serious issues to work through. My heart broke for him several times as he resisted getting the help his brothers knew he needed. He has this block about therapy, and it takes some major effort to break through. 

I adore Elenore and all her quirks! She's the perfect combination of smart & sassy to snare her Rabbit. She sees things scientifically, and feels a bit cut off from the world because of that. She has insecurities that pop up because of that, too, & I love how Rabbit helps her get out of that shell. 

(BTW, I'm not spoiling his legal name, but do have to say the person he's named after is a favorite from my childhood!) 

Their story is full of humor & heart, warmth & steam, family & what it truly means. Elenore & Tina, Rabbit & Rose, and the found family in the club all show different types of family relationships. The way the club comes together to get Rabbit the help he needs & encourages Elenore to be a part of that really warmed my heart. And they're there to help with protecting her, too. 😉

Excellent read & I'm so happy to have more from this club!!

Cover Reveal - Sweet Spot by Jessica Prince



Happy happy day!!! I love the covers for this series, and this one fits in perfectly! Excited to read it! Check out the synopsis below & catch up with the series if needed. 😎

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵. 

Gage Langdon didn’t do relationships. After having his heart shattered years ago, he made a vow to never go down that road again. But when his past waltzes into his town, demanding his attention, he reacts without thinking and makes a very public display of kissing his best friend. Now Wynn is pretending to be his girlfriend to help him get back at his ex, and the feelings he’d sworn he turned off were starting to spark to life. 

After walking in on her boyfriend in bed with another woman, Wynn Klein made herself a promise. Never again. She was done with men. When she walked into that coffee shop one morning to meet her best friend, she never expected Gage would wrap her in his arms and plant a knee-quaking kiss on her in front of the whole town. The request he whispered in her ear after sealed their fate: Just go with it.

When Wynn agreed to be Gage’s fake girlfriend, it was only supposed to be temporary. But thanks to meddlesome friends, an over-eager mother-in-law to be, and a conniving granny, things go so much further than they were intended. 

The lines between reality and fiction are starting to blur, and Gage starts to see Wynn in a whole new light.

Freak Show by Lani Lynn Vale

 Welcome to release day for book 2 in the fabulous 

 Welcome To The Circus series by Lani Lynn Vale! 



This one brings an HEA that fans of LLV have been waiting YEARS for.

Or, maybe just me.

But I don't think it was just me.  ; ) 

My Review: 

I LOVE Slone & am so happy he got an HEA of his very own! I've been wanting this since he fist showed up in a previous series! I'm also happy we get to experience a good amount of his friendship with Titus & Banner. 💜

Caristonia, aka Tony, gets a new nickname from Slone of Ari, which I adored. Ari fits her somehow better! I enjoyed the pacing of their romance (quick!) & that they don't fight their connection at all. She bonds with Briley right away, too, which is fun! 

There's a lot going on with the circus & family that I didn't really connect with, or like. I'm hopeful that when we get Hades's story, I'll get more insight into her & will be able to like her again. Slone is super protective of Ari, and I kinda am, too! I want her to be able to have a healthy relationship with all her siblings! She has so much heart and courage and love - she's so perfect with Slone! 

I did quite enjoy the part the tigers got to play! Coco & Melon ... I want to snuggle them (carefully)! 

😍😍😍

This one made me upset at the Singh family, though, and hopefully there will be some healing as the series goes on. I know I get too emotionally invested in stories, in general. I can't read most "bully romance" tropes because I just can't handle ppl being mean to each other. And the sisters are not very kind to Ari in this story - even though they all love each other & it's just family dynamics, it still made me want to smack most of the family through this one! 

Anywhoodle! I loved Slone & Ari, and the ending makes me think I'll understand one sister's actions more in a future story, so that makes me happier. LOL

Let me know what YOU thought!

Champion by Michelle Mankin

 Michelle Mankin writes SPICY and emotional stories. 

Her writing style is beautiful, and I've been a fan for ages.

I've also been blessed to meet her & get to know her personality, which is just the sweetest rock chick vibe. She's awesome! : ) 

So, her new release is different than her rocker/surfer stories, in that the main character is a football player, but the vibes with Champion & Electra & the extended group of characters are spot on with her normal style. Highly recommend! 

I'm going to use the cover reveal graphic below because it shows both covers & both covers are super neat! 



My Review: 

Champion & Electra are a fabulous couple! I love the way they are each other's light, the way they heal each other. Champion isn't used to having to chase someone down to be with him, but Electra gives him a run for his money! 😁 She's different in a lot of ways, which makes her perfect for him. 

These two are sweet together, but also be ready for the 🔥🌶🔥🌶🔥🌶🔥🌶 because this author brings the STEAM with her couples, and these two have quite a bit of steamy page time. Whew! 

That part's not my favorite, but the emotional connection, the surprises, the friendships, the Easter eggs & cameos, the communication... all are amazingly written and made this a highly enjoyable read. Loved it!!!

Temptress by Jessica Prince

 I highly enjoy Jessica Prince in general, the Whiskey Dolls series overall, and Temptress quite a lot! 

This was such a fantastic read! 


My Review:

Wow!! Sloane & Silas are 💔🌶🔥🌶🔥💔❤️❤️❤️❤️🌶🔥🌶🔥! So, tissues, a fan, some snacks... I suggest reading with these things close by. 😉

I love Sloane to bits! Silas ... I wanted to hug him, then smack him, then hug him. His heart has been bruised in a different kind of way, and his love for his daughter is so deep, he lets it blind him to LIFE. Sloane is such a delight as she helps him rediscover that life. Or, how living feels, is a better description, maybe. 

Darcy & Kim are awesome. I love the co-parenting relationship Silas & Kim have. And how Sloane is able to bond with Darcy. That whole portion is sweet! 

This whole story is a delight to read, and I devoured it! 

😍😍😍

Fun House by Lani Lynn Vale

 It's time for a brand new Lani Lynn Vale!!

Y'all know I have been excited about this new series, and book 1 exceeded all my expectations! 


My Review:

This story is AWESOME!!! I loved Simi & Coffey from beginning to end! We get to know the Singh family more, Folsom pops her head in a time or two, new & old friends make an appearance... and the relationships are everything I love about an LLV story.

Coffey is swoony, BA goodness. Simi is quirky and lovely, and I enjoyed her personality so much! 

We get humor and steam, banter and suspense. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Until Lydia by E.M. Shue

 I have to start this one off with an apology!

This post was supposed to be up a couple weeks ago, I think, but life has been a little flarey lately (my hip, for those not in the know) & it did a number on my ability to keep things straight. The reading part was easy! The posting on social was easy! Sitting down to put the blog posts together... Whoops. 

SO! 

Moving on... 



Until Lydia by E.M. Shue is part of the BOOM! Part of Aurora Rose Reynolds's HEA books world, and an all around fun read. 

My Review: 

Maverick & Lydia's story is a pretty quick read. Good use of cameos by Asher & November! There are a lot of cameos from, I'm assuming, characters from other books/series by this author. Lots of connections, which will make fans of those stories really happy! I felt a bit lost or overwhelmed with all the new-to-me characters & interactions, however. 

Still, I enjoyed the story & our main couple. They're a slow burn out of necessity, and I love the care & relationship "Rick" builds with Lydia's twins! Super sweet! And he's definitely protective, as well. There's a big suspense element!
