*`New Release & Review: Pretend We Are Us by Claudia Y. Burgoa`*
Title: Pretend We Are Us
Series: The Timberbridge Brothers #1
Author: Claudia Y. Burgoa
Release Date: March 26, 2025
REVIEW:
4 Stars
This book kicks off a new series! I can tell you the Timberbridge bothers are an interesting bunch that's for sure. I have so many questions after reading this that I can't wait for more from this series. There is all the small mystery and intrigue. We have Galeana and Ledger thrown into the middle of it all. This isn't the first time these two have met. That instant attraction is still burning bright. I felt like Ledger's playful personality is exactly what Galeana needed in her life. Their banter was one of my favorite parts of the book. There were some parts of this book I did not see coming and lead to some intense moments. With everything going on around them what they find with each other is so beautiful. I'm looking forward to finding out more surrounding the threat and getting to know the rest of the Timberbridge brothers!

*`New Release & Review: The Two of Us by Lori Foster & Maisey Yates`*
Title: The Two of Us
Authors: Lori Foster & Maisey Yates
Release Date: March 25, 2025
REVIEW:
4 Stars
We get two stories for the price of one. Who wouldn't love two romances with quirky animals!
In The Odd Couple by Lori Foster we some familiar faces that I loved revisiting. The dogs on the cover fit the two in this book. I have a special spot in my heart for Saint Bernard dogs so I was super excited to read this story. This is a neighbors to lovers romance. Ford finds himself in an unexpected spot when his neighbor Skye asks for a favor. Let the sparks fly! Then you add in an adopted odd couple Maybelline and Tank. Did those two dogs ever steal my heart, but especially Maybelline. Her bond with Ford warmed my heart. It's something truly special to witness. A favor turned into so much than Ford and Skye could ever imagined.
Then we have Force of Nature by Maisey Yates packed full of animals. This is a brother's best friend romance. Remy's backstory broke my heart especially when Hank enters the picture because it brings up those old feelings in Remy. Remy and Hank are two broken souls, but with the kelp of the Clay family they can feel love as it is meant to be. Lydia has always had a crush on Remy. Her love of helping animals is going to put into motion something she always wanted. I loved that Lydia loves animals so much. She reminds me of my brother. He is such an advocate for animals just as Lydia. Plenty of heart and feels in this one.
BLURB:
There’s nothing like the unconditional love of a rescue dog and their ability to bring people together as these meant-to-be-couples are about to find out in these brand-new sweet and romantic tales from bestselling authors Lori Foster and Maisey Yates.
The Odd Couple * LORI FOSTER
Ford Caruso agrees to an unusual favor—playing the part of new boyfriend for his adamantly single, irresistibly sexy neighbor Skye Fairchild, whose clueless ex refuses to accept his fate. But as Skye starts dropping by to use Ford’s pool, and even plan dates, the charade begins to feel satisfyingly real, complete with choosing rescue dogs together—a giant mutt and a fierce little chihuahua who adore each other. From one odd couple to another, some things are destined . . .
Force of Nature * MAISEY YATES
Rescuing animals is in Lydia Clay’s blood, so when a mournful old cattle dog named Hank shows up at the shelter, she knows exactly where to take to cattle rancher Remington Lane, her brother’s hot, and usually grumpy, best friend. Hank belonged to Remy’s estranged father, which is one strike against him, but when Lydia offers to help the man ease into dog ownership, he can’t say no. And as he and Lydia work together, it looks like an old dog can actually teach this brooding cattleman some heart-warming new tricks . . .
