*`Review: Fixing to be Mine by Lyra Parish`*

Title: Fixing to be Mine
Series: Valentine Texas #5
Author: Lyra Parish
Release Date: June 26, 2025

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
I'm so glad to be back with the Valentines. They bring an awesome family dynamic and humor. Colt brings all the swoon! Once he spots Sunny/Stormy knows what his future looks like. Sunny is keeping her identity a secret for good reasons. I wanted to get justice for her myself when she sees what he soon to be groom is up to minutes from the wedding happening. Though I must say her real name fits her way more, Stormy. What has to be one of the worst days of her life turns into a blessing is disguise because her impromptu trip to Texas puts her a path she never saw coming. The Valentines and this small town make her feel like home for this first time. Throw in a fake relationship that feels all too real good times are a coming. This book does bring the heat, but with all the heart. I loved the banter between Colt and Stormy. This is such a fun read with all the small town charm. I loved that Stormy is such a strong character that does a lot of healing to find her true happiness. Can't wait for more from this series!

BLURB:
She rolls into town with a bag full of cash, a designer wedding dress stuffed in her trunk, and zero plans to stay… until we meet.

Runaway bride shows up outta nowhere?
Most folks would call that a red flag.
Me? I call it a typical Tuesday and hand her a key.

I’ve been rebuilding this old house for someone just like her, and she’s finally here.

Rumors fly that she’s my girlfriend, and we don’t bother correcting anyone.
Pretty soon, she’s wearing my old T-shirts, sleeping in my bed, and turning my world upside down.
Now I’m calling this city girl darlin’ like she already belongs to me.

She thinks she’ll be able to leave when the dust settles.
But we both know she’s fixin’ to be mine.

Fixing to be Mine is an interconnected stand-alone in the Valentine Texas Series. This book is a small-town, runaway bride romance book with a cowboy hero who falls first and hard. It has rom-com vibes and a happily ever after. While this book is a stand alone, for the full Valentine Texas series experience, start with Bless Your Heart.

*`Review: Not Your Girl by Samantha Brinn`*

Title: Not Your Girl
Series: Boston Hearts #2
Author: Samantha Brinn
Release Date: July 17, 2025

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
After reading Jordan's book I couldn't wait to read about his brothers. Totally still in love with Jordan's family. It does my heart good to see Jordan living his HEA! Okay now onto the important part Elliot and Amelia. They have a meet cute on a plane which gives us the glimpse of the on point banter between them. This book had all the heart I was looking for. Elliot had me swooning. They way he supports Amelia and her beautiful brain there is no way of resisting him. I appreciated the mental health rep with depression because I battle that myself. I'm with Elliot because there are good days and bad days. Loved how Amelia supports him through it. Made me fall for these two even more. I love how close the brothers are living in the same brownstone. Another part I loved a lot is Samantha Brinn brought a little bit of her family history.  Read the the note from her in the beginning of the book because the mystery of the postcards is such a fun romantic addition to this story. Amelia and Elliot's relationship is a bit forbidden between professor and grad student. A really great book. I'm hooked on this series.  Plus it's a small world with connections to some of our favorites from PA. I loved how Amelia finds true friends. A great sense of humor in this one as well. I can't wait for the next brother! 


BLURB:
It was a normal morning flight back home, until a gorgeous stranger took the seat next to mine. Then, what was normal became the opposite of that. In six hours of conversation at thirty-five thousand feet, I saw my entire life ahead of me, and every part looked like her.
But when the plane landed in Boston, she disappeared without a trace, leaving me with nothing but her first name. Amelia.
For six months, I haven't been able to get Amelia out of my head. I had almost given up hope that I would ever find my mystery girl, until she walks into my classroom on the first day of school. Everything about her draws me right back in, as if no time has passed.
A relationship with my grad student could put my job at risk, and Amelia Sullivan has her own reasons for keeping me at arm's length.
But when her tech brilliance and a decades-long family mystery have us spending more time together, despite all of our best intentions, the draw between us is undeniable, our connection impossible to resist.
With my job on the line and Amelia's secrets at risk of being revealed, nothing about us being together is easy. But with my heart already lost to her, I don't care about what's easy. I care about what's right. And I know with absolute certainty that what is right is Amelia and me. Together. Forever

*`Book Blitz: How to Date a Prince`*

How to Date a Prince
Hayden Stone
Publication date: July 15th 2025
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, LGBTQ+, Romance

What happens when the British Crown Prince falls in love with an American man who opposes the monarchy?

Prince Auggie swears he’s no kind of dashing prince: daydreamer, private—and also secretly very gay. He’s instantly horrified when his father, reality TV addict King James, signs Auggie up for a reality TV show to promote the monarchy, where the man with the most talents wins—and to help find Auggie a bride, the very last thing Auggie wants. But duty calls.

When Auggie finds out his co-star is irritatingly gorgeous Thomas Golden, the charismatic dual American-English heir to the Golden hotel fortune, it’s another step too far. There’s at least one problem: Prince Auggie’s already recently crossed paths with Thomas Golden one disastrous night in a London club. Plus, there’s that whole second not-so-small, not-so-secret problem—the Golden family wants to get rid of the monarchy.

Once Auggie and Thomas arrive on set in the English countryside, it’s already unapologetically hate at first sight. It’s going to be a very long summer of filming…until sparks fly behind the scenes, leading them to make a searing heatwave all their own. But soon, real reality strikes, and Auggie must choose between the life he’s destined for as the future king—or dare risk everything for love.

An enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, feel-good gay royal rom-com.

For fans of Red, White & Royal Blue, Boyfriend Material, and The Unlikely Heir.

A jilted bride. A jaded divorce lawyer. A full tank of gas. What could go wrong?

Rhys: As a cutthroat New York City divorce lawyer, it’s my job to end marriages. Lifetime commitment? It’s for the birds. I do everything in my power to avoid it…until my grandfather’s will says that to save our family’s land, I have to become a wedding planner.

Worse, my first client is Eden Becker. She’s the sunshine-y disaster whose ex-husband I represented a few years ago in their divorce. Eden’s first marriage was a nightmare, so why does she think another one is a good idea?

Turns out, I’m not wrong. Her jerkwad fiancé jilts her, and as her wedding planner, I’m also her getaway vehicle. Now we’re on the road together—and all my complicated feelings about this beautiful, naive optimist are in the car, too. Along with a wild attraction I’ve been fighting since we first faced off across a conference table.

If this road trip goes on too much longer, I’m going to do something I’ll regret forever.

Like fall in love.

A spicy, grumpy-sunshine, jilted bride, enemies to lovers, standalone road trip romantic comedy set in the beloved small town of Rush Creek.
