The Voices Are Back by Lani Lynn Vale

 It's that time again!

Time for new Gator Bait MC excitement! 

My Review: 

Highly enjoyed Morrigan & Aodhan's installment to this series! There were a few bits & baubles that were ??? but overall it was a solid story (and the ??? aren't plot-related, so not a big deal). 

Morrigan has an interesting medical condition that makes life a bit topsy turvy, and I loved how she, and Aohdan, and their friends, handle it. I enjoyed their relationship & the sweetness! And Bowie!! 😁

There's not a huge mystery or lots of action in the story. Its focus is on their second chance & how they make it work. And it worked well for me!! 

😍😍😍

WTF by Cambria Hebert

 By now, I hope everyone knows of my love for Cambria Hebert and her stories! 

WTF is a MM in her Westbrook Elite series, and it is AWESOME! 

My Review:

Another AMAZING story in this series! I did not want to put it down! 

From the first meeting through Win trying to fight that soul mate pull, this story is 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊! They both have sensitive hearts that need a bit of healing. Lars is sweet but grumpy, Win is protective and sunny. Lars is protective in his way, too, just less ... flashy. These two are meant to be together!

I love their relationship & how it grows, and I absolutely fell in love with the bros all over again, the way they immediately bring Lars (and their other new swimmer!) into the fold. I love when they're all together, and once again Jamie made me crack up. Loudly! 😁

Wes is awesome, and the way their first meeting goes is so heartwarming. I love the brother relationship Lars gains with Wes & Max! 

This story has some heartbreaking bits, and I want to wrap Lars up in a huggle. Win, too. After a Gibbs-smack. The suspense is great, the steam is steamy, the love is encompassing and beautiful!

😍😍😍

Have you fallen in love with these swimmers yet? 

Books 1 & 2 are MF

Books 3 & 4 are MM

This is reminiscent of how her House of Misfits series is written, with a mix of MF / MM stories - and I love it because, that's life when you have a group of friends. There are going to be different relationships within the group, and I love that these specific two types are highlighted. 

Let me know if you've read the series & what you think!

Superstar by Kate Meader

 This book is part of a series, and I hadn't read the other books. It works well as a stand alone, though, while also doing a good job of getting you interested in the other couples! ; )  AND! The second book in the series is currently FREE for a bit, so you can check that out, as well. 

My Review:

I really enjoyed Bast & Pepper! Their story is fun & steamy, sweet & slightly intense in bits. Bast has this need to protect Pepper from all the negative men in her life, and helps her heal from those experiences, while falling in love. 😁

Pepper helps Bast heal from some things he's been keeping bottled up, too, and I loved the way these two opening up to each other helps them open up/stand up to their families. 

And Bast is seriously a sweetheart! Even when he has some grumpy moments, he can't help but still be in protective mode. 

😍😍😍

Sideliners by Dana Claire

Dana is a new-to-me author, and when the opportunity came up to read an ARC of her newest HS football story, I had to give it a shot! : ) 

My Review: 

This was a very interesting and intense story! I'm not a huge HS romance reader because I'm not a huge fan of relationship drama, and this definitely has that! It's well written, though, and I highly enjoyed the characters and friend/family dynamics!

Reed is an amazing character, lots on his shoulders for one so young. Savannah brings that naivete & open heart to the story. I enjoyed them working through things! 

And there are some excellent 😮 twists here, too!

Good read!!

Zayn by C.E. Johnson

 My love for C.E. Johnson continues in her latest release, Zayn! 

This is book 3 in her Protecting You, Finding Us series - Book 1, River; Book 2, Jaxon. All are wonderful romantic suspense stories that highlight her awesome writing style that just GETS me every single time! 

My Review:

Zayn & Ella's story is full of friendship and love, humor and heart, suspense and just the right bit of steam. I loved it!!

The way this author writes friends/family/found family just really makes me happy in EVERY book. The banter & protectiveness they have with each other means I fall in love with each of them in every single story. And that ... makes me happy! 😁

The way Zayn & Ella interact is lots of fun, even as they're trying to fight their feelings. And Saige is such a ray of light and joy!! Also, if you've read the earlier books, you will understand when I say that Freddy plays a hilarious role in this story, AND Saige's pet is a riot... 🤣

Excellent romantic suspense recommendation! 

😍😍😍😍

Available in KU! 

If you haven't picked up her stories yet, I highly recommend them! 

She's a binge-worthy author, not to mention super sweet in person & a fun dog-mom (and I'm sure her kiddos think she's fun, too... *grin*) 

Let me know what ya think! ; ) 

TTFN!

Annoyed At First Sight by Lani Lynn Vale

 Welcome back to the Gator Bait MC world! 

Alice & Cassius try to resist one another, but the pull is just too strong! 

*grin* 

My Review:

There's some good suspense going on in Cassius & Alice's story! And their back & forth was more amusing than annoying to me, so I was able to really enjoy their story. I love the way she & her brother interact, too. 🤣

Cassius is hilarious when he's not being grumpy. Actually, sometimes when he is, too. Heh. I liked his personality, anyway! And we get to see more of the group hanging out, which I highly enjoyed, too.

Have you listened to me & read LLV yet?

She's got like 100 books - I haven't counted, but it seems like at least that many - and you'll definitely find a series to fall in love with. Or several, like moi! ; ) 

I always look forward to her stories!!

The Baby Blitz by Lex Martin

 This series! 

It's fun and emotional and steamy and very enjoyable! 

The Baby Blitz is the latest - happy release day! 

My Review: 

Maggie & Michael (aka Olly) have a couple uphill battles to get to their HEA, but what a ride! I love the banter between these two when they're not forgetting to communicate. Lol

I struggled a bit in the miscommunications. Thankfully, for the most part they're good at being open & honest with each other, and I loved that! I also highly enjoyed getting to experience the pregnancy with them. There are some very real things discussed there! 

Amazing read - with visits from old friends, surprises, and a character redemption I really, really rooted for. 

😍😍😍

I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that we didn't see a lot of the characters from the two previous books. On the other hand, this story was more about the pregnancy & things going on there, which was something we missed in the first two. So... balance! I like the storylines in all three a lot, tho!!
