*`Book Blitz: The 21-Day Boyfriend`*

The 21-Day Boyfriend
A.S. Kelly
Publication date: May 21 2025 (Audiobook)
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, LGBTQ+, Romance

Eric O’Shea needs to make a decision. The annual event his family forces him to attend is just around the corner, and he doesn’t have a date.

Eric never needs help when it comes to finding men. But this time is different – his ex and his new boyfriend will be there, and Eric can’t just bring along one of his usual flings.

His only hope seems to be him: the best friend of his best friend, who he never wanted to meet.

Sean Quinn is a calm, collected, and cultured man; someone who would rather stay at home and read a book than waste his time chasing a date with no future.

Sean isn’t in a rush to find the perfect man, and he certainly doesn’t intend to go out with Eric: his best friend’s other best friend, who he’s avoided meeting for years.

But Sean has a flaw: he can’t say no to anyone, especially not when it comes to his friend Jake, who has a habit of worming his way into other people’s lives.

But it’s just one date, after all: pure fiction. It’s a shame, then, that when Eric needs Sean for another favour, he can’t turn his back. It’s a shame that just when Sean is beginning to understand that Eric isn’t what he seems, he can’t seem to stop before he gets hurt.

Twenty-one days: that’s the agreement.
Twenty-one days of grazing hands, furtive glances, and unexpected kisses.
Twenty-one days where anything goes; except falling in love.

Release Date: June 19, 2025



REVIEW:
4 Stars
I love when one of the characters is a baker. I get so into it because I love to bake so it always excites me to see what they bake up. This is a great small town romance. Nick has some history with Rachel and her family's bakery and not the great kind. Nick is adorably hot. He is a firefighter with a heart of gold. Always had a crush on Rachel and his captain gives him the perfect opportunity to make his move if he can take the chance. Man I felt Rachel had so much responsibility on her shoulders, but she handles it like a boss. Her ex is a real piece or work that needs a visit from karma asap. I'm glad she has her BBF Jae in her corner. That woman would battle anyone for Rachel. Rachel and Nick are cute together. This is a slow a burn romance, but there is no denying that the chemistry is there. Rachel is gun-shy on giving any man a chance to break her heart again. There is something special about Nick that breaks down her walls.

BLURB:
Rachel is no stranger to responsibility—or heartbreak. As the eldest of three sisters, she’s the glue holding their small-town bakery together, juggling taxes, recipes, and endless layers of frosting while quietly nursing the sting of her boyfriend’s betrayal earlier this year. Love? Not on the menu.
Her best friend, Jae, has other ideas, especially when it comes to the hunky local firefighter, Nick. Too bad Jae doesn’t know about the incident from their teenage years—the one where Nick burned down the bakery.
Nick’s spent years thinking Rachel despises him, and honestly, he wouldn’t blame her. But when Jae signs Rachel up to help with the fire station’s fundraiser, he and Rachel are forced into close quarters. As sparks fly that have nothing to do with fire safety, Nick starts to wonder if there’s a chance to rebuild what they lost—and maybe even something more.
Rachel can’t ignore the heat between them, but trusting Nick means letting go of the past. Can she take the risk, or will the flames of their shared history consume them both?

Author: C.A. Harms
Series: Tennessee Terrors #5
Release Date: June 17, 2025



REVIEW:
4 Stars
Another great book in this series. Kelton is up to bat next and I'm a sucker for a sister's best friend/best friend's brother. Emerson and Kelton have the history and about two years ago their chance was cut short. Fast forward to now they may just have their second chance. Kelton is extremely close to his sister Liz since losing their mom. Liz has quite the spitfire personality. Emerson and Liz have that once in a lifetime ride or die friendship. They are definitely friendship goals. Granny June is awesome and made me think of my grandma. Kelton has some swoon worthy moments especially at the end of this book. He is prime book boyfriend material. As always when the guys of the team are together some of my favorite parts. They are a true brotherhood. Everything Kelton has gone through has lead to this beautiful time in his life when all his dreams come true. He has someone smiling down on him from above proud as good be. It's a bit of a bumpy road, but the destination is so worth it. The description of his house sounds so beautiful. These Tennessee Terrors sure know how to steal my heart. 

BLURB:

Kelton
My entire life, as far back as I can remember, I had a baseball in my hands. Baseball was the one true constant in my life. A game I've always loved, and I'm good at it.
So when my dream came true to play professionally, everything felt like it'd finally aligned. I dropped everything, but the hardest part, was leaving my family and those I love behind.

Emerson
He'd gotten the chance of a lifetime. So it would have been wrong for me to hold him back. I smiled, and wished him the best, pretending that watching him leave wasn't one of the hardest things I'd ever faced. I'd pretended, and done a great job at it, until I was invited to travel with a group of friends to watch him play.
Everything was different under all the lights, with the sounds of thousands of fans cheering. It was surreal, and when our eyes met, all those feelings I'd tucked away came rushing back.

How do I pretend that I don't still feel like Kelton James has my heart in his hands. How do I hold back, when he pulls me in for a hug. The familiar scent of his cologne taking me back to the last time he held me close.
Most importantly, how do I walk away a second time?

Grand Slam is the fifth book in a series with ten amazing authors about the Tennessee Terrors baseball team. All books have crossover characters but are standalone novels and can be read in any order.

*`Review: Wild As Her by Erin Branscom`*

 Title: Wild As Her
Series: Bridger Falls #2
Author: Erin Branscom
Release Date: June 12, 2025



REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This second book in the series is so good. It's rivals to lovers with the perfect sexual tension between the characters. Jack has so much on his plate, but he knows Cami is his end game. He pull out all the stops to prove he is worth taking a chance on. Cami thinks everything and everything is not going her way especially when she losses her family ranch. Unbeknownst to her Jack has some plans in the works. This book has such a great sense of humor that had me chuckling along while reading. Cami and Jack's banter was one of my favorite parts of this book. Now I'm not one that likes reality tv in my romance books, but man did Erin do a great job with it. It didn't overtake the book for me and lead to some funny moments in the book with Jack trying to hide all the time. A great read that I highly recommend!

BLURB:
Losing my family’s ranch was bad enough. Finding out my enemy bought it? That’s just infuriating.
Jack was the last person I ever expected to deal with again. But he’s been back in Bridger Falls, quietly rebuilding his family’s ranch and pretending the past doesn’t exist.

The boy who left me without a word is now a gruff, maddeningly attractive cowboy with too much responsibility on his shoulders—and somehow, he’s the star of a reality TV show to find a wife.

It shouldn’t bother me. We’re enemies. Except now, every stolen glance, every touch, every argument pushes us dangerously close to something I swore I’d never feel for him again.

I tell myself I hate him. That I’d rather set my barn on fire than fall for the man who stole my ranch.

But maybe we were never meant to end—just waiting for the right time to begin.

Wild As Her is an enemies-to-lovers, spicy, small-town rom-com with forced proximity and sizzling tension. It’s a standalone Western romance with a happily ever after.

Blurb:


A second chance stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a literary agent from NYC who returns to her Southern hometown and the cowboy high school sweetheart she left behind…
I fell in love with him when I was only fifteen—tall, handsome, and so damn charming—it was impossible not to.
Years later, we got married, and I thought we’d have our perfect happily-ever-after.
But I wanted more than being his wife in a small mountain town, so I chased my dream job seven hundred miles away. I begged him to come with me, but he wouldn't leave his family's ranch.
Walking away and letting him go was the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced.
But then I meet someone new and he's everything I need—stability, mutual respect, and ambition. He's my second chance at love. When he proposes, it’s a no-brainer to tell him yes.
There's just one little problem…
I'm still married to my high school sweetheart, who refuses to sign the divorce papers.
Even worse? I never told my fiancé.
Now I have to return to Willow Branch Mountain, find my ex, and demand he sign them.
When I show up at his door and he slams it in my face, I know he's not going to make it easy—especially when those old feelings resurface and I’m left making the hardest decision of my life.



Review:
4 Stars
A great kick off to a new series, but to my delight some favorite characters to pop in from the previous series. The Langstons already have me hooked and intrigued. Now typically one thing going on in this book is a hard no for me in romance, but the way Brooke wrote it made it work. Just check the content warnings to make sure you are okay with the subject. This is a beautiful second chance romance. Man who wouldn't want a Warren. He knows who his forever girl is and no one else will do even after all these years being estranged. To have someone love you that much is rare and you don't walk away from it. An opportunity is given for Warren to make Maisie see what is still there between them. The sparks are definitely still flying between these two that's for sure. This book has a great combo of heart, heat, and humor. I really can't wait for more from this series!

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the second book in the series and the next Fletcher brother is up. Now Calder had me at cat daddy. For this cat lover nothing is as swoony as a guy who carries his cat Milkshake in a baby carrier strapped to his chest. I knew from there this book was going to be my jam. Plus we have Everly up to her matchmaking ways. This book also delivers on all the humor. I can't tell you how many times this book had me laughing. The banter and enemies to lovers vibes between Calder and Dakota was another highlight of this book. Also is this book is spicy! If you like your books with all the spicy steam then this is for you! Calder lived up to all the hype after learning the cat daddy tid bit. Right from the first page this book had me hooked. Definitely a must read!!

BLURB:
Alone and Looking to Bone! Loudmouthed Mountain Man Seeks Fiery Woman to Grow Old With.

I might look like a tall, tattooed, bearded neanderthal...but like an onion, I have layers. Swipe right if you like a proud cat daddy who catches feelings after direct eye contact.

All I wanted was a casual plus-one to my brother's destination wedding, but those idiots on my family tree hacked my dating profile and sabotaged my quest for the perfect weekend fling. Now I'm stuck on a tropical vacation with only my hand to keep me company.

Until I’m forced to share a room with the bane of my existence: my sister-in-law’s best friend.

Dakota has hated me for the past seven years. I wasn’t losing much sleep over her screaming rants because she was some other guy’s problem. Or she was, until she got divorced.

Being stuck in paradise with a woman who loathes your very existence doesn't sound hot, but after an unexpected moment in our shared palapa, she starts screaming at me in a different way.

What happens in paradise stays in paradise. That is, until Dakota shows up on my mountain with a proposition: be her wingman to help her regain her pre-divorce confidence.

Suddenly, Dakota’s not just the person I love to fight with.

She’s the woman I want everything with.
