Meeting Ross Davis, professional baseball coach and my sports crush, is a funny story involving a
stalled elevator, the potty dance, and an attempt to get into his hotel suite. In my defense, that last
one was an accident.


He came to my room instead with a bottle of scotch and a sad soul.


My one night was not a stand, but more like a lie-in. As in, we snuggled and talked and not another
thing happened.
So, nothing surprises me more than seeing him again when he becomes the manager of the Chicago Anchors, my hometown pro-team, and our paths intersect once more.


It’s here the story gets fuzzy, because Ross Davis, that sexy silver fox, has a proposal for me.
Baseball players are notoriously superstitious, and Ross is somehow convinced I’m his good luck
charm. One who brings him success by sleeping with him.


Only sleeping.


The problem with this arrangement begins when those funny, fuzzy things called feelings get
involved. Eventually, his elevator pitch is no longer an easy walk in the ballpark or a simple
sleepover in his bed.
And I’m worried I’ll be the one left in the outfield when the season ends.

My Review...

Welcome to the world of Anchors baseball!

You can sense Ms. Dunbar’s love of the game with this new story. 

This is the story of Ross and Verona.

Ross is a baseball legend who carried his love of the game from player to head coach. His whole world is baseball, and when tragedy happens in his life, that is what seems to carry him through.

Verona has been a baseball fan her whole life. In fact, her love of baseball is a family tradition that started with her dad and carried on to her children. 

The meet-cute between Ross and Verona is what you would call “happenstance,” and that theme is carried throughout the story.

The complex relationship between Ross and Verona is so well written that it kept me invested in these two until the end. The Easter eggs of characters from her previous series do not detract from this story but give her fans (like me) a lovely little surprise.

I always fall hard for the characters that Ms. Dunbar creates, and this introduction to a new series is just another jewel in her crown as the queen of over-40 romance!

What happens when a dream wedding turns into a complete nightmare?


Horrible Dress – Check
No Flowers – Check

What should have been a highlight of my life turned into me becoming a runaway bride after seeing my fiancé doing something no bride should ever see.

A stranger who shows up at my brother’s beach house, where I’m spending my honeymoon – alone.
But it turns out that my handsome stranger isn’t a real stranger at all. Emmett Collins is also my brother’s best friend and business partner.


I never pictured myself wanting a man like Emmett in his country boy jeans. But he turns out to be exactly who and what I need.
Two weeks. That’s what we’ve given ourselves. It’s the perfect vacation fling. He doesn’t do relationships and my life is…well…a mess is putting it lightly.


There’s just a few problems. Emmett makes me feel safe. His quiet smile lights me up inside. And that first time he kisses me? He brings out butterflies I never knew I could feel.
I think I’m falling in love with a man who doesn’t believe in forever.
And there’s no guide to love for that.

See My Review Below!!!

Yes, yes, yes! Welcome back to the magical world of Rolling Hills with a dash of Fury!

This newest story is full of heart, heat, and hilarity, and I am there for it!

This is the story of Emmett and Stella.

First off, I absolutely love the heroines that Ms. Sloan creates! Stella is fierce, she is independent, and yet she also has some vulnerabilities that tend to rear their ugly heads and dictate her future.

Emmett is the blue-collar hero of my dreams! Like Stella, she realizes that a man’s true worth isn’t in what they wear or how they look, it’s what’s in their heart and mind that makes a man a rock star.

This was a story that was hard to put down once I started, and I floved seeing them make their presence known! I was equally excited to see that this is just the first book in what I know is going to be a phenomenal series! 

Do yourself a favor and grab this story, then get ready to run!

About HOW MY NEIGHBOR STOLE CHRISTMAS:


A new winter holiday, enemies-to-lovers romance, from the undeniably funny and always spicy, USA Today bestselling author, Meghan Quinn.

Living in a year around Christmas town has it’s drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It’s why I like to hibernate away in my cave–I mean house–keeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits.

And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest – which she was determine to win.

Well guess what? Over my cold-hearted body.

There was no way I was going to let her win, not after the history we’d shared.

So despite my promise to myself of never participating in the sickening Christmas season, I entered the competition as well. That’s right, I planned on beating Storee at her own game by pretending this grump’s heart grew three sizes this season.

And it was working until feelings between us started heating up.
We pretended to date.
We kissed.
And well, sparks flew from there.

Which led to one explosive night involving Christmas lights, the competition, and a ladder. Don’t let me convince you who stole Christmas, I think you need to find out for yourself . .

My Review...

What a fun-filled, swoony start to the holiday season with this stellar story by Ms. Quinn!

I loved everything about it! From the lovely town of Kringle to the convoluted relationship between Storee and Cole.

Storee (flove that name!) is brought back to the town of Kringle after leaving it a decade ago in disgrace; she carries that with her through the years and struggles when she first returns.

Cole, oh my me, this poor man has been through the wringer of devastation in his past, and it has made him the grinchiest grinch that ever was.

From miscommunication and untold feelings, we see the evolution of both Storee and Max. Through the competition, we see a holiday miracle that blossoms in the relationship between Storee and Max.

The secondary characters are fabulous and bring the hilarity that is always a hallmark of a Meghan Quinn story. 

You are going to fall in love hard and your heart will be filled with Christmassy goodness with this story! Bring on the mistletoe and the tinsel! I am here for it!

★★ BLURB ★★
Zara Lorna is kind of a big deal. After winning Artist of the Year (again), having a public argument with her boyfriend (again), and being whisked away by a man she barely knows (that’s new), it feels like she can’t go anywhere without drawing attention. It’s taking a toll on her and she could use a break.
Deciding to spend some time out of the public eye, she moves to Chicago to be close to Nikki. Hoping that being around her creative friend will cure her blues.
Asa Young was a rock star (almost). His dreams of traveling the world with his band came true (almost). These days, he’s content making commercial jingles at XY Records and staying as far away from the limelight as he can (that’s new). And he definitely doesn’t write music anymore.
Which means he should definitely stay away from Zara, no matter how much fun they have and how easy their connection. Being around her attracts too much unwanted attention.
Except that being around her is all he wants to do.
She reignites a flame inside Asa he thought had died long ago. And he is everything her heart has been looking for.
Is the connection they share strong enough to make them more than friends?
Or are there too many obstacles to make it work?
‘Write or Wrong’ is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #9 in the Common Threads series, Seduction in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

My Review...

I was so excited to return to the world that Ms. Hutchinson created in the Smartypants world!

The world of music, the world of celebrity, and the world where magic happens at XY studios! The way that Ms. Hutchinson brings her readers into this world is like going behind the curtain, beyond the red velvet rope, is realistic and full of swoons, and I am here for it!

This is the story of Asa and Zara and what a chemistry they had indeed!

A friend-to-lover romance is my favorite, and this one is gotta be one of the best.

I love the fact that Asa has an understanding of the world in which Zara has to live in. I also fell hard for him when he knew what he had to do and was willing to make the sacrifices needed to be the central, safe spot in her chaotic world.

Zara is a dynamo, a musical legend, but when it comes to some real-world feelings and relationships, she is just as vulnerable and fragile as the rest of us. 

I loved seeing past characters make their voices heard and helped Zara and Asa in their budding relationship!

This is definitely a re-read in the future, and I will have to go back and read the other books in this series! 

See My Review Below!!!

From USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow comes an opposites attract, steamy small-town hockey romance.

In my defense, I thought the plane was going to crash.

Otherwise, I never would have blurted out those embarrassing things to a perfect stranger.

Did I mention he turned out to be a scorching hot superstar of professional hockey?

But wait, there’s more.

When the plane lands safely, I rush off, praying I’ll never have to face him again. My luck holds out for less than twenty-four hours, when I realize he’s a groomsman at the wedding I’m attending.

We end up having a drink and a good laugh about my panicked confessions, and when he invites me up to his room for some no-strings-attached fun, I say yes. After all, a headboard rattling one-night stand with a guy who knows how to put the puck in deep isn’t something a bookworm like me ever thought she’d experience.

Neither are those two little pink lines.

Now what’s crashing are all the plans Joe Lupo and I had for our lives–separately.

After all, we’re totally wrong for each other. He’s commitment-phobic and completely focused on his career. And I want to plant roots in my small town–with someone who chooses me.

Love? It’s out of the question.

Until Joe Lupo lines up his shot and aims straight for my heart.

My Review...

I just love going back to Cherry Tree Harbor! I love that Ms. Harlow has created a world where her different series have a chance to interconnect.

I also love that this is the next generation of her characters that long-time fans have loved. 

This is the story of Joe and Mabel.

A fantastic meet cute, and the chemistry between them is amazing.

I love Mabel’s quirks, levelheadedness, and pragmatic view of her relationship with Joe. Even when her world gets turned upside down, she knows she has a good support system with the Buckleys.

Joe thinks he has everything he wants and is very adamant about not changing his status quo. While we see the drive in him that he needs to have to be the NHL player he is, I love how Ms. Harlow can take that and spin it to make him see the world is more than just his hockey ambitions.

The dialogue is funny and I loved the play on hockey terms throughout the relationship that builds between Joe and Mabel. 

I was so happy that Mabel didn’t have to wait to get her story told. It was so well done!

See My Review Below!!!

Accidental poisonings. Unexpected tidal waves. Jealous stepsisters. Brides caught cheating in the coatroom at the reception.

Just a typical day at work, when you’re a wedding protector.

And Nessa Martini, the newest and youngest member on staff, is doing her best to fix it all.

Starting with her own chaotic life.

A one-night stand with a hot bodybuilding social media influencer who turns out to be a minister is not Nessa’s idea of personal growth, no matter how much she enjoyed it.

She’s trying so hard to be mature, grounded, responsible, and to get ahead in her career working for Wedding Protectors, Inc., where they guarantee your perfect day – whatever it takes.

But when she ghosts on Mr. Perfect after one night of pleasure and he turns out not only to be the TikTok sensation known as “God’s Gift,” but is also the minister at the wedding she’s assigned to for work, all of Nessa’s careful plans go out the window.

She can’t date a man of the cloth.

Or can she?

Matt Draper knows he’s a study in contrasts. A bodybuilder who makes sweaty, shirtless weightlifting videos for millions of followers – and a minister? He didn’t pick the nickname “God’s Gift,” but he’s stuck with it now.

And he’s stuck on gorgeous Instagram influencer Nessa, too.

It may have been only one night, but it was a phenomenal night, and Matt wants more. Way more. When coincidence works in his favor and they meet at a wedding rehearsal, he takes his chance. She’s slow to warm, and so mysterious, yet social media perfect.

Too perfect.

For a guy who is all about depth and connection, can he break through her surface and find more?

My Review...

I am so loving the world that Ms. Kent created with the “Whatever it Takes” series!

This newest installment in this series was fantastic and relevant in today’s world.

This is the story of two influencers and how they learned to navigate their relationship and online presence.

This is Nessa and Matt’s story!

I have been intrigued by Nessa from the get-go; as an older reader, it was like learning a whole new world when it comes to her. I loved seeing her vulnerabilities regarding her relationship with Matt and trying to navigate that while still being her true self. 

Matt is well, God’s Gift…a moniker he tries to shy away from, but fits him so well.

I love the input from the grandma’s in their story! I loved how both Nessa and Matt make them a priority in their world.

As always, Ms. Kent brings the hilarity and the heart to every story she writes, I can’t wait to see what comes next from the employees of Wedding Protectors and the world they live in!

✔️Small town swoon

✔️All the heat

BLURB: 

Love doesn’t break us; it makes us whole, my nana used to say.

However, one minute, my world is set on fire, literally. The next, I am raising a six-year-old as a single mom without a clear path ahead of us. No place to live. No job. No money.

I’m returning to Sterling Falls to claim what’s mine, then there will be no looking back on this beloved small town, a place I consider a handful of sand in the hourglass of my life.

Then again, Clay Sylver has shaken up that ancient time clock. The silver fox in his forties is a bit cocky, but solid in every way that matters. He loves his siblings. He works hard. He owns an honest business. Honest, the emphasis here. He also suffers from damsel-in-distress syndrome with a savior complex for lost causes, like stray animals and down-and-out women.

And I have a secret crush on him.

When I see Clay stranded on the side of the road one dark, stormy night, I stop to offer assistance. Burning with fever, Clay is sick, and my mom-instinct kicks in to give him comfort. That decision throws me off course again. While my past lurks everywhere, I find myself falling in love with Sterling Falls once more and falling harder for the man giving my son and me a safe haven.

Love is a risk, according to Clay, but he’s slowly rescuing my heart while I’m saving his.

My Review...

Can I be a member of the Sylver family?!?

Each sibling’s story just gets better and better.

This is the story of Clay and Mavis.

Clay is the caretaker of the Sylver family, a role that was thrust upon him after tragedy. It has molded him to the man he is today. He is a workaholic and he is OK with that. Until a storm with butterfly wings comes blowing back into his world.

Mavis is the epitome of a mama bear and rightfully so. She has been wrung through the wringer of life and wants to make a fresh start with her son. But does the past ever really leave you? She has always had a soft spot for Clay but is very trepidatious about what she feels and what she thinks Clay is feeling for her.

As always, Ms. Dunbar delivers the heat and swoons with this newest story and I love the way that the Sylver family comes to embrace Mavis and Dutton in a way a true family should. 

I want to move to Sterling Falls, the town and family that Ms. Dunbar creates is perfectly imperfect and I am here for it!

The Devil Himself by BB Easton is now live!

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men (inspiration for the hit series Sex/Life on Netflix) comes the highly anticipated sequel to her dark Irish mafia romance, Devil of Dublin.

Growing up, I spent every night tucked under my mother’s arm, dreamily listening to tales from her favorite book series—Legend Has It by Darby Donovan, a collection of spooky folklore about a town called Glenshire and the lonely, gray-eyed fairy prince who haunted the woods there. I knew they were just stories, but when my mother died and left me in the care of my cold, abusive father, that fictional fairy prince suddenly became very, very real to me. It was as if he was always there, hiding in the shadows, offering me his silent comfort. I turned him into an imaginary friend when I needed one most.

And thirteen years later, I’m doing it again.

When my coastal Irish town is bombed by the new Russian president, a Bratva leader seeking revenge on the United Irish Brotherhood, those missiles destroy everything I’ve ever known—my home, my family, and evidently my sanity—because when I pull an injured Russian Navy officer out of the sea, a man who led the charge against my town, I can’t bring myself to let him die.

Secluded together in my secret hiding spot, we’re safe from the Mafia war raging outside, but the overwhelming connection I feel to this stranger is a battle I fight every single day. I hate him with everything that I am, but when he looks at me with those smoky gray eyes, all I see is my friend. When he touches me, all I feel is desire. And when he wraps his lips around the sustenance I offer him, all I want is to feel them pressed against mine, loving me, putting me back together.

But no one can live in a fantasy world forever, and when reality finally finds us, the truth about him is worse than anything I could have imagined.

The man I rescued is no fairy prince.

He’s the goddamn Devil himself.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: The Devil Himself is a continuation of Devil of Dublin and is not intended to be read as a standalone. It contains the same dark themes, graphic violence, and explicit content as Book 1, but if you have questions about specific subject matter, a comprehensive content warning can be found on my website.

Meet BB Easton

BB Easton is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, the hilarious, steamy, tell-all memoir that inspired the Netflix Original Series, SEX/LIFE. Within the first month, SEX/LIFE was viewed by 67 million households worldwide, making it the 3rd Most Watched Netflix Original Series of all time.

BB was a stressed-out school psychologist and mother of two when the inspiration to write 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN struck. Through that process, she rediscovered her passion for writing, became dangerously sleep-deprived, and finally mustered enough courage to quit her job and become a full-time author.
BB went on to publish four more wickedly funny, shockingly steamy, and heartwarmingly autobiographical books in the 44 CHAPTERS series: SKIN, SPEED, STAR, and SUIT. Since then, she’s been hard at work, writing fictional stories that appeal to her love for us-against-the-world romance, including a dystopian trilogy (BAD BOYS DON’T DIE), a psychologist-client romantic comedy (GROUP THERAPY), and a dark Mafia romance series (DEVIL OF DUBLIN).

My Review...

What a welcome back to the magical world of Glenshire, Ireland!

When I say magical, I genuinely mean it. 

This is the story of Damien and Clover. Two lost souls in a world of chaos. But in true BB fashion, she spins a web of a story that includes thrills, intrigue, and love that knows no boundaries.

Set in the beautiful country of Ireland, she creates a new world that will draw you in and keep you invested in her characters as they navigate it.

Clover is strength, she is vulnerable, and she believes in the magical otherworld fiercely, sometimes to her own detriment. Even when she is beaten down and looked down upon, she always finds a way to make her world better. She is a fighter.

Damien is a survivor; he is struggling to come to grips with his new reality, and when introduced to the magic that is Clover, he will fight till his last breath to be with her forever.

I am always in awe when it comes to stories from Ms. Easton. And this story is awesome indeed.

My Review...

Welcome back to the wonderful world of “Bridesmaids for Hire”

This is the highly anticipated story (well, to me, at least) of Everly and Hardy.

Everly is my hero! I cheered her on hard in this story, and I was awed by her class, professionalism, and humor. I loved her zingers, and she was always on point. I empathized with her plight with her crush, and I was amazed by her sticking to her guns when needed and knowing when to embrace her heart.

Hardy…whew, this fella…

I wanted to shake him repeatedly for his focus. He was trying hard to fit a round peg into a square hole when he should have been looking at the perfect shape of Everly in the puzzle of his world.

I absolutely loved the crossovers with past characters! Between the texts, emails, and face-to-face interactions, it was the best type of reunion. 

Whether reading as a stand-alone or in addition to the other stories in Ms. Quinn’s library, you are gonna fall in love hard for this swoony story filled with heat, heart, and hilarity!

🍌BLURB🍌
Estranged childhood friends unexpectedly reunite under bizarre circumstances and bicker their way to love in this bonkers romantic comedy.
Ava Archer misses her best childhood friend most especially during the month of April. Ask any tax attorney, it’s a lonely, grueling time of year. Luckily, Ava has just received a surprising and delectably absurd offer from her posh doppelgänger at work. She must pretend to be the aforementioned posh co-worker for one night at an extremely fancy party; a party so fancy, there exists absolutely no chance anyone will recognize her or suspect her ruse. . .
Desmond (Des) Sullivan is a thief. And not the heart-of-gold kind. He’s the steal-from-the-rich-and-give-to-the-also-rich-so-he-can-get-paid kind. He does, however, have one firm rule: never steal what the target can’t afford to lose. After a brutal falling out with his father, Desmond hasn’t returned to Chicago in over ten years. But when a good friend is swindled and something priceless is stolen, Desmond must return home, both as himself and his thieving alter ego.
Infiltrate a dangerous secret society of the world’s most elite billionaires while leveraging his estranged father’s resources and not blowing his cover? Sure. No problem. Or it wouldn’t be a problem if Ava Archer hadn’t just walked into the room, wearing a ridiculous wig, speaking with a preposterous accent, and pretending (badly) to be someone she’s not.
‘Bananapants’ is a full-length, contemporary romantic comedy filled with hijinks and shenanigans. It can be read as a standalone, but the parents of the main characters will be familiar to anyone who has read the Knitting in the City series.

First, I want to say thank you to Ms. Reid for writing neurodiverse characters with realism, class, and sensitivity that really resonates with me. As a parent of a neurodivergent child, I am sensitive to authors who write characters with mental health issues, and Ms. Reid is in a class by herself.

Now, onto the story! This is the story of Desmond and Ava, childhood best friends. One bombshell decision separates them for years, and when they run into each other again, sparks fly, and hearts melt.

Set in the Knitting in the City series, it can totally be read as a stand-alone. (Unfortunately, I have not read them all, but I was able to dive into the story with no problems whatsoever.)  

Ava is adorkable in the best ways! She is feisty, she is curious and she embraces her quirks. 

Desmond is a hero I didn’t know I needed in my world. He struggles to keep Ava at arm’s length, but the heart wants what the heart wants.

This is a romantic comedy of the highest caliber, and I loved it!

The last chapter especially hit home for me and made me want to bow down to the greatness of Penny Reid’s imagination and talent even more.
