📚 Review ~ Never Your Girl

Western Wildcats Hockey #7

🖋 Author ~ @jennifersucevicauthor

🎧 Narrators ~ @angelinaroccareads , @graysonthemic 

🖋 Genre: Enemies to Lovers, College Romance, Sports Romance, Hockey Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bridger and Holland

🏒 This is the first time I’ve tried Jennifer Sucevic. And, Never Your Girl was fantastic! I loved the sarcastic banter between Holland and Bridger. While it was a lot of fun, the emotions these two went through to get to their HEA were wrenching. Even though this is part of the Western Wildcats Hockey series, it can stand alone…however, I can’t wait to go back to the beginning so I can get to know the friends that Bridger and Holland call family.

📱 Struggling to make ends meet, take care of her irresponsible mother, and get through school, Holland has her work as a dancer and her focus on graduating to have a better life. Bridger has other goals. He needs to graduate and get away from his abusive father. Hockey and his business degree are his way to move on. But with relentless text messaging, Bridger’s stress level ratchets up more and more with each notification. 

🎧 I enjoyed Angelina and Grayson’s narration. They were both incredible, giving the character unique voices. I felt like I was right in the middle, cheering for Bridger on the ice and celebrating Holland’s success.

🎧 Narrator ~ Audiobook Narrator Matt Haynes 

🖋 Genre: Military Romance, Action, Adventure Romance

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

Whatever it takes. As long as it takes.®

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ David “Ronan” Alexander & Fleur Buchanan

I’m thrilled that the adventure continues! It’s super exciting to see the Guardian kids growing up and taking their place within Guardian Security. A true Legacy. And Ronan does not disappoint. Kris Michaels has such a phenomenal way of writing, keeping the characters real, unique, and relevant. Narrator Matt Haynes delivers another fantastic performance.

To save Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in her refugee camp, including women and children, Fleur is so desperate to get just one more convoy to safety that she’ll risk her own life. When it seems that there is nowhere else to turn, and the human traffickers are just a fence line away, Ronan and the Panther Team will do whatever it takes…as long as it takes to keep Fleur’s camp safe.

🎧 Review: The Librarian and the Mechanic

📚Review~ The Librarian and the Mechanic

(A Dash of Desire Book 2)

🖋Author~ Brianna Bancroft 

🖋Genre: Contemporary Romance, Quick Read

🎧Narrated by: Claire Marlowe

⭐️Rating: 5/5

Mallory and Joel are perfect together. Although Mallory has pulled away from an emotionally damaging relationship, she is still uncertain about her own self-worth. She doesn’t recognize how brave she is by starting over in a new town with a new job. It’s Joel who eventually draws Mallory into another new chapter of her life. With patience and understanding, plus a great sense of humor, they get their HEA.

Claire does an excellent job portraying these characters. I can literally feel Mallory's nervousness as she tries to shake off the self-consciousness that plagues her thoughts and decisions. Her tone and pacing even change as Mallory grows more confident in her life, in her new job, and with Joel.

The Librarian and the Mechanic is the second in the Dash of Desire set. It is a standalone. I hope you enjoy!

📚 Review ~ Stop Drop and Run 

📚 A Pacific Northwest Love Series Book 3

🖋 Author ~ @shannonmorseauthor

🖋 Genre: College Romance, Sports Romance

⭐️ Rating: 4/5

💌My love for you is fierce, and I am ready to face whatever comes our way together.

📍 Read Trigger Warnings

👟FMC (Body Image/Eating Disorder)

🚒MMC (Severe Burns and Injury)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adam & Daisy

This is the first time I’ve read Shannon Morse. While Stop Drop and Run is the 3rd in the Pacific Northwest Love Series, there was enough detail and backstory to make it a seamless stand-alone. I enjoyed Adam & Daisy’s story. The depth and emotional turmoil these two experience throughout the book are as honest as they are heartfelt. Shannon’s insight into sports, running, and athletes is knowledgeable, giving her characters important realism. 

👟Daisy’s struggles as an athlete are real and relatable. Her battle with body image, insecurities, and an abusive, passive-aggressive trainer are heartbreaking. It’s not until she meets Adam and his friends that Daisy begins to recognize the damage being done to her body, her mind, her spirit. Exposure to Adam’s group gives Daisy an opportunity to observe healthy relationships, expanding her limited experiences from just school and training.

🚒Once an incredible flirt, Adam does something so unlike him: he falls in love with Daisy. He is completely committed to her, supporting her running career. Unfortunately, a severe accident while fighting wildfires injures Adam. Struggling with the burns, the repeated surgeries, and the rehab therapy, Adam is barely holding on. 

Daisy will need to find the strength to take back her independence, and Adam will have to move beyond his fears so that he can be the man to love Daisy forever.

Love Fast is an incredible story about discovering the strength to take a chance and risk it all for freedom and love. The relationship that develops between Bryon and Rosey is bright and sparkly. And, I love the way Byron gives Rosey space to make her own decisions which is something she’d never had before. But, I admire Rosey’s determination to get away from her controlling mother in order to find her voice, to learn who she is, and what her future holds.

Louise Bay has me booked! I’ll definitely read more of her work. She has an easy style, creating characters that pulled me in and made me want the best for them. 

Samantha and Jason are also amazing, creating authentic voices and an emotional connection to their characters. I could feel Byron’s inner conflict as he struggles to reconcile the past with his father, and Rosey’s hopefulness as she begins her journey in a new town.

⛓️ Never assume the queen is safe just because she’s standing still.

📚 Review ~ Never Bound: A Dark Dystopian Forbidden Romance

(The Unchained Book 2) 

🖋 Author ~ Everly Claire

 Rating: 4/5

📍 Read ~ Content Note

Features ~

🔹Scarred, Imprisoned MMC

🔹 Naive FMC 

🔹Slow Burn Attraction

🔹Secrets & Deception

🔹Cliff-hanger

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another first read for me. Everly Claire creates an environment that is remarkably similar to our current society, but with a clear distinction between the wealthy and the unfortunate citizens who have been forced into servitude. Louisa and the Boy represent these two separate parts of their society. The evolution of the two main characters intensifies as they come closer to understanding each other, the accepted injustices they face, and the heinous acts that lie beneath the richest parts of society.

⛓️ The relationship between Lou and the Boy continues in a forced proximity situation as he functions as her tutor. For him, it’s an opportunity to take advantage of Lou and her family. The Boy considers himself a master manipulator, using his intelligence to help him locate his missing sister. Everything he’s done is in the hopes of finding her. 

⛓️ It is ultimately Lou’s growing relationship with him that elevates her understanding of the world beyond her fluffy pink pillows and effortless existence. Lou begins to see the injustice that those forced to serve the wealthy endure. 

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 HER: “But my whole life, I’ve seen so much that was wrong,” I whispered. “And I never questioned it. I never said a thing.” 

🖇  HIM: “How could you have said a thing?” he said, squeezing my fingers gently, stilling them where they landed.

📍 Read ~ Note to reader

💖 Seeley ‘Doc’ & Juliette

For nearly 15 years, Seeley and Juliette were separated by lies and the deceit her father forced on them. While they existed, neither was completely happy. Always knowing that something was missing. Theirs is an epic love that, despite her father’s vicious actions, can’t be forgotten. Years later, and finally free of her controlling parents, Juliette and Seeley will have a second chance to discover if their love can flourish and overcome the challenges that are ahead of them now.

🔹Standalone (part of series)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the first time I’ve read Melissa Foster. And, if I could give this book more than 5 stars, believe me I would! I stayed up late reading this book as I was completely invested in Juliette and Seeley, hoping they could make it back to each other. 

The way Melissa introduces Lucas as a teenager made me smile because she is spot-on regarding their fluctuating attitudes. In addition to learning his father isn’t who he thought he was, his grandfather’s betrayal, and a particularly devastating health issue, Lucas' emotions hit some very low points that absolutely break my heart. But with the love and support of his new family and friends, they come together and come back to each other even stronger than before. 

Melissa has such a way of creating a beautiful backdrop for Redemption Ranch that I felt I was already a part of the Whiskey family. It reminded me so much of my hometown that I’m ready to pack my bags. I’ve already started reading the first in the series (The Trouble with Whiskey) and can’t wait to read all about Birdie’s story in My Whiskey Redemption #6.

💌 Favorite Moments:

🖇 Parenting is the hardest and the best thing you’ll ever experience. Some days you’re sure you’re doing everything right, and others, you feel like you’re sledding down a hill on a bed of razor blades.”

🖇 You and your mom are the best things that have ever happened to me. My love for you is unconditional and unwavering. Don’t ever doubt that.

🎧Review~ SINS: The Deal

🖋Author~ @lexxijamesbooks 

🖋Genre: Dark, Mafia, Billionaire Romance

⭐️Rating 5/5

🎧 Narrators: Patrick Zeller and Rose Dioro. The narrators are incredible. I feel like I’m right there with Enzo and Kennedy. I can literally feel Kennedy’s distress as she tries to keep herself and her sister from getting too involved with the D’Angelos. And Enzo sends shivers in all the right places.

ENZO

She should've known better than to cross my path.

I had no choice but to notice her.

See, I like collecting beautiful things, and unlucky for her,

Kennedy is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

She was meant to be owned.

And I was born to undo her.

The Deal is a steamy dark romantic suspense in the SINS of the Syndicate series. This is the first book in a trilogy.

🖋Author ~ Lexxi James
🖋Features: Dark, Mafia, Billionaire Romance
⭐️ Rating: 5/5

🎧 Narrator: Patrick Zeller & Rose Dioro

The narrators continue to be incredible. I feel like I’m right there with Enzo and Kennedy. It's fantastic the way Patrick gives Enzo such a distinct and commanding voice. His humor and frustrations are pure Enzo in equal measure. Some of the best scenes involve Enzo and Truffles, Kennedy's little heroic mutt. For me, this is where Enzo's more gentle personality comes inking through, just enough that I can't help but love this formidable mafia prince.

🐾 “I have a dog. It has clothes. Despite keeping my distance from everyone, I have a touchy-feely soft side. One that you fxxkxrs wouldn’t know anything about.”

🐾 “Look, Toto, I don’t care how attached Kennedy is to you. Get off my lap before I have you made into smoking slippers.”

The intrigue and heat continue in the continuation of Kennedy and Enzo’s story. They are like watching fireworks in the sky, burning bright. Kennedy’s unbreakable spirit is completely engaging. Kennedy is not like the other women who typically throw themselves at Enzo. She is so strong and independent that I’m sure Enzo isn’t quite sure what to make of her. While he continues to struggle with his duty to the D’Angelo family as well as his insatiable attraction to Kennedy, a viscous power struggle continues between Enzo and his uncle who is suspected of causing his father’s disappearance. Then, there’s the issue of who brutally attacked his sister.

💋 Kennedy and Enzo are walking a very slippery slope of danger and attraction. Enjoy their explosive relationship.

But in the warmth of Ledger’s love, I found a partner to walk beside me, sharing the weight of our pasts and the promise of our future.

This is the first time I’ve read Vee Taylor. Her content note was heartfelt and gave me a sense of understanding of what to expect from her characters. I appreciated the insight into Auburn, as her insecurities are the main focal point of her journey. Recovery and/or healing isn’t a straight line, and oftentimes can be chaotic, even confusing. I felt that in reading this. It can also be a very private matter, so Austin’s naiveté is plausible because he didn’t have any idea what had happened to his mom when she was in high school. Ledger’s solid presence was exactly what both Auburn and Austin needed.

🖋Author ~ L.A. Hart (Lane Hart)

🖋Features: Fake Dating, Grumpy Sunshine Hockey Romance

⭐️Rating: 5/5

L.A. Hart is also best best-selling author Lane Hart. I’m most familiar with Lane’s steamy/dark romances from The Savage Kings MC and NYC Dark Mafia series. My first read of her L.A. work was Beg for Mercy out of the Mercy Academy series. And, WOW! What an incredible storyline. 

🏒 For Revenge Puck, it’s a delightful rom-com. Its rocky foundation for Preston and Elle is based on a total lie. They each, for very different reasons, want revenge on their nemesis - Christian Riley.

THE RESULTS ARE IN: Preston’s st🏒ck is bigger than Christian’s!

🏒 What starts as just a little fun, quickly spirals into something deeper than anyone expected. Between Preston’s fear of being abandoned first and Elle’s determination never to be hurt again, there seems to a lot going on to keep them apart. Not to mention the fact that they live in different cities. Or that Preston might be traded at the end of the playoff season. Throw in a misguided, jealous ex-best friend, and tensions are higher than ever.

📚Review ~ Shattered Fate (King's Crossing, #4)

🖋Author ~ VM Rheault

🖋Features: Billionaires & Millionaires Romance, serial, cliffhanger, mystery

⭐️Rating: 5/5

I started reading VM Rheault’s King’s Crossing series with the first book in the series, Cruel Fate. Gage and his sister Zarah almost inadvertently uncover heinous crimes involving the murder of their parents. The intricacy of the series maintains its grip, keeping me reading and turning the pages! Aside from that, I feel for these characters. The sacrifices both Stella and Zarah make, the suffering they have endured, bind them together with a bond stronger than…Family. Loyalty. Trust.

Gage ~ Ashton Black shot and killed my half-brother Max, and in his will, he left me everything he owned, plus one serious request—protect Zarah Maddox.

Where Stella is sunshine, Zarah is night. Stella’s blonde hair, her bright blue eyes, they are perfect opposites to Zarah’s pitch black hair and dark eyes. It’s no wonder Ashton Black wanted both of them: perfect bookends.

Like a deep dark secret, there’s something insidious slithering just under the surface of King’s Crossing. Even prison bars can’t contain the malevolence threatening Zarah and her family. Max knew there was more than just what they’d managed to uncover…what else are Clayton and Ashton trying to cover up… How far will they go to protect their secrets?

Nick has an easy-going personality that encourages April to give them both a chance even though more than just careers seem to separate them.

Review: Lethal Game

Lethal Game by Julie Rowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

💋 “I don’t have time to play games.”

📚Review ~ Lethal Game

Biological Rapid Response Team Book 2

🖋Author ~ Julie Rowe

🖋Genre: Action & Adventure Romance, Military Romance

⭐️Rating 5/5

🔬 Dr. Sophia Perry

🥾 Special Forces Communications Sergeant Connor Button

★Protective hero, Bodyguard MMC

★Genius, Virologist & Hematologist Specialist FMC

★Limited Time Factor  

★Threat Assessment

★Fast-action, Intense

Technically not an interconnected book, I would recommend reading the first in the series (Deadly Strain) to understand the ongoing threat level. I enjoyed Sophia’s straightforward and determined approach to stop this new biological threat. Despite her failing health, Sophia’s greatest hope is to make a difference. Connor is her perfect match. Probably because he is the youngest with four older sisters! A man who is willing to listen, support his partner, and challenge his partner at the same time is a keeper!

Lethal Game is the 2nd in this three-part series. Sophia and Connor’s mission is more treacherous than they would’ve anticipated. While investigating an unknown infectious disease outbreak, they realize Sophia has been marked as a high-value asset. The enemy is aware of Sophia’s unique medical qualifications, making her the perfect scientist to create the next epic pandemic.

From the very beginning, Connor will need to put his personal demons aside in order to commit to his assignment to keep Sophia safe, guarding her while she works to identify an unknown but deadly pathogen. Falling in love had never been part of the mission…

🎨 “I might not know everything, but I know I love you.”

⭐️Rating 5/5

🎨 BEATRICE 

🏒 LOGAN 

★ Protective Alpha MMC

★ Hockey Player (Enforcer)

★ He Falls First

★ Smart, Artistic FMC

★ Accident, Amnesia

★ Intense Drama

📍Read ~ Content Note

This must be my month for new authors ~ and Laura is FANTASTIC! I was completely invested in Beatrice and Logan’s story. There were so many heartwarming parts of their journey. But what I loved most was that even at their lowest point, they refused to give up on each other. 

Incredibly, through it all, Logan is a consistent presence in Bea’s life. He falls first. And, they both make sacrifices to become successful ~ Logan becoming a pro-hockey player and Bea starting her own interior design business. But what really made the biggest impact for me was how Bea takes control of her recovery, taking her time to discover who she is and what she wants out of this new life she finds herself experiencing.

There were some very emotional moments in their story. It left me brokenhearted at one point as I could completely sympathize with the trauma Bea and Logan went through with all the doctors, the tests, and waiting every month, only to be utterly disappointed. 

📚 Favorite Moments:

💋 Painting has been my refuge and my escape. The studio is the one place where I exist in the moment instead of digging up my past or worrying about my future. I peek from behind the canvas to find his tall form in a Mavericks hoodie and jeans.

💋 “It’s only superstition if it doesn’t work.”

💋  “We can build a hundred new lives, Beatrice Cole Ackerman. And I promise you this, I will love you in all of them.”

Along the way, he has a uncanny knack for collecting women, nannies, a kid, and a would-be robber.

📚Review~ Taschen

Chosen Few Series #4

⭐️Rating 4/5

💖 Seraphina and Taschen 💖

★Protective hero

★Starlet heroine

★Ex-soldier

★Deceit and Betrayal (not by the MCs!)

★Spell-binding HEA

This is the first time I’ve read Samantha’s work. Taschen is a quick read full of action. I particularly loved how sensitive Taschen is to Sephie’s situation. Even though she’s a former child star, Taschen treats the threats against her and her fears as legitimate concerns. While Taschen is former military, now part of Backcountry Protection Services with his best friends, and very much a protective hero, Sephie is also a strong woman. In spite of the tragic history that brings them together, Sephie proves herself willing to sacrifice for those she loves.

⭐️Rating 4/5

💖 Beth and Seamus 💖

This is the first time I’ve read Sarah’s work and the first time I’ve read a cozy-mystery. I liked the odd mix of magical and non-magical beings in Spirit Town. There was a real sense of community organization, working together to bring a resolution to the unfortunate incidents wreaking chaos on their quaint little town. 

Centered around a crowded dinner, the town comes together to support Beth Harriott, who is their new Mayor. She and Seamus renew their friendship, reigniting a simmering love. Together with their closest friends and wise old Agnes, they’ll uncover a decades-old secret.

You returned home, you helped save our town’s festival, you uncovered a corrupt council, nominated as mayor and fought for all our residents, against powerful forces.

Review: Want

Want by Chelle Bliss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

🫦  I want to fall in love with a guy with tats…and a piercing…who knows a guy who knows a guy; that’s going to protect and cherish me. That’s Brax Gallo 

📚Review~ Want (Men of Inked Sinners Book 2)

🖋Author~ Chelle Bliss

🖋Genre: Men of Inked Sinners, Alpha Male Romance, Contemporary Romance

⭐️Rating 5/5

💖 Brax and Iris 💖

I’ve been a longtime fan of Chelle Bliss and the Gallo family. I love the way the Gallo family instantly welcomes Iris into their midst. Brax is so patient and understanding, putting Iris and her fears before his own desires. He is everything that Iris’s former fiancé is not. And thank goodness! Because he is open with his feelings even while Iris is afraid to make herself that vulnerable again.

Even while dealing with the devastating betrayal of the man she thought she loved sends Iris into a self-imposed dry-spell, her two friends are wickedly sweet and so much fun! Their banter and positive influence are the reason Brax and Iris unexpectedly meet. 

🎨 “It’s time to stop grieving what could’ve been and start getting excited about what will be.”

Want is a slow-burn of attraction, love, and patience. A true demonstration of how love can selflessly flourish. Another fantastic addition to the expansive Gallo family. And, Brax wants to share it all with Iris…forever… the neighborhood bar with its good-natured regulars, old Irish gangsters, and a fantastic Italian grandmother whose eggplant parm is the absolute best.

🫦 Highlights:

🦖 I really like Brax. Even though his name sounds like a dinosaur, Braxasaurus-Rex has my belly flipping out of lust, not fear.

🎨 Finding your forever isn’t always easy. Hell, it doesn’t happen for everyone. But I have a feeling my future is next to me, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her there.

🦖 We’ve dealt with men like Malakai our entire lives, and all that matters is that you are safe from here on out.

Review: No More Spies

No More Spies by Lexi Blake
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



View all my reviews

🌼 Cooper McKay was laid out on her bed. Naked. And there were daisies.

📚 No More Spies (Masters and Mercenaries: New Recruits Book 4)

🖋 Authors ~ Lexi Blake  

🖋 Features: Military romance, romantic suspense

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⛓️Kala & Cooper — 3 weeks and a lifetime. For years, Kala Taggart dealt with the unknown. Desperately trying to cope with the fallout of a traumic event makes it nearly impossible for her to relate to her family, her friends, her peers. Cooper McKay is the only one who can equally shatter her and love her without boundaries. Together, they are a team. Separately, they are two halves of the same soul. 

⛓️ Definitely read the author’s note. It’s sincere and impactful, making this book an emotional ride that is both thrilling and heartbreaking. It left me wrecked at times, crying as I related to the circumstances affecting Kala. In only one moment, a singular fateful decision, life can change, leaving a damage that can never be undone. Kala is a complex person, honest in her approach to life, decisions, her family, and friends. While Kala claims to be an emotionless, task-orientated person, choosing not to feel, she actually experiences the deepest well of feelings, giving her a unique insight into the people she loves most. 

⛓️ As described by his family, Cooper is the typical Captain American popular guy. Athletic and good-looking, he is sometimes more involved with proving himself to the crowd than thinking about how he is with his closest friends. Cooper is at his best and worst when it comes to his love for Kala. While they are both maturing, it’s natural to hurt each other, make mistakes, break up. And come back together, because they are irrevocably tied to each other with a love that’s deeper than all the conflict around them. 

⛓️ Kala is the one Cooper will never walk away from. He will never give up on having Kala in his life — forever — even if there have to be daisies. I love the sweet tenderness and vulnerability of daisies.

🖋 Enjoyment: 5. Readability: 5. Writing: 5.

🖋 Setting: 5. Plot: 5. Characters: 5. 

🫦 Highlights:

He could see the split second when her heart had broken.

Kala was like flying sometimes. He had to get a feel for the air around her, find the good streams that swept them along, and know when turbulence was going to batter them.

He wanted to reach for her hand so she would know she wasn’t alone. So he would know he wasn’t alone.

I’ve never felt anything like this in my life. He’s everywhere, filling me up until I’m drowning in him—mind, body and soul. It’s too much and not enough all at once.
