*`New Release & Review: How Not to Fall in Love by Karla Sorensen`*

Title: How Not to Fall in Love
Author: Karla Sorensen

REVIEW:

4.5 Stars

Okay I want to say I love everything Karla Sorensen writes and her MMCs are some of my favorites. Then I started this book and I was so skeptical of Archer. I wasn't feeling him at first, but my words to you are stick with him because he is a Karla MMC to the core. I quickly changed my mind real quick once we really get to know Archer. My heart goes out to him and his sister. One moment changes the course of his life, but also Remi's. I loved Remi and her son Gavin. She does great work at the dog rescue. All the different dogs was one of my favorite parts of this book. Archer grows a lot as a person. It's amazing how much of an impact positive support can be for a person. Remi's Pops is such a joy! There is heartfelt moments, humor, and heat. Oh my gosh the epilogue had the tears flowing. I'm not surprised this was such a good book because Karla crushes single parent and sports romance, but from what I thought starting to the end such different feelings. Also I may have squeed a bit when I saw a few Kings pop in. 

BLURB:

A bad-boy NFL star meets his match in a feisty single mom with this sweet, steamy, and emotional novel about second chances and breaking the rules of romance.

Raising my ten-year-old son, running an animal rescue, and caring for my grandfather leaves zero time for complications, let alone cocky athletes who get under my skin. Too bad the universe didn’t get the memo.

Because a big complication just crashed into my life—literally—in the form of towering NFL quarterback Archer Evans, sentenced to community service at my shelter after a scandal. Despite his mistakes, I try not to judge. He’s got demons of his own, and even though he’s made it perfectly clear he wants me, the last thing he needs is a wary single mom seeing the vulnerable man beneath the muscles and the attitude.

Though I’ll admit, I’m tempted to look.

Not that I’d cave. With his notoriety, Archer would never make it past date two of my eight-date rule. I want simple. Safe. He’s too successful. Too arrogant. Too everything. The definition of complicated.

But as the walls around Archer start to crumble, so do mine. And this complication feels suspiciously like love.

I made the rules. Maybe it’s time I broke them.

*`Review: The Mother Faulker by M.J. Fields`*

 Title: The Mother Faulker
Series: The Brooklyn Bears #5
Author: MJ Fields

REVIEW:
5 Stars
Another great book in this series. The Brooklyn Bears are more than a hockey team they are a found family. A great group of guys and ladies. We get Hildy and Lenzin's story. This one so pulls on the heartstrings for me. Hildy's little sister Lucy steals me heart the moment she appears on the page. She is such a cutie and has these Brooklyn Bears wrapped around her finger. Hildy and Lucy haven't had the best childhoods, but Hildy has the chance to give three year old Lucy the best life. Lenzin and Hildy have little bit of history already, but a little surprise is about to bring them even closer. Lenzin has big Daddy vibes! Phew, that man is lethal when you see him in action protecting those he loves. He steps up big time for Hildy and Lucy. Lenzin is prime book boyfriend material. I love Lenzin's grandma, she is really the only family member I like. These characters go through a lot, but the joy at the end of this book for this little family makes everything so worth it. This is a must read. I read it on a day and a half, stupid adult responsibilities getting in the way of my reading. 

BLURB:
Brilliant, broke, and building stability where none existed before.

I grew up somewhere that assumes your future will look exactly like your past.
Scholarships, discipline, and more late nights than I can count are the reason mine won’t.
I’m within reach of finishing my PhD and building the kind of life where stability isn’t something you hope for. It’s something you create.

Then Lucy arrives.

A little girl who’s already seen more dysfunction than any child should, and suddenly, the future I’ve been working toward carries a lot more weight.
Finishing my doctorate isn’t just about ambition anymore. It’s about making sure Lucy grows up somewhere steady, somewhere safe, somewhere with room to grow.

Which is not the apartment I share with three other people while barely getting by.

Most of the guys who used to live there have moved on with the women they fell for, women I know through the bookstore where I work and a PR campaign I’ve been helping with.
The house that once held half a hockey roster has room for more.

It’s about to become our temporary home.

Built for pressure, burdened by inheritance, best on the ice.

Responsibility has never been my favorite word.
Not when it comes wrapped in estates, expectations, and a family legacy that assumes my life already belongs to it.

Hockey is different. Hockey is something I chose.

Then there’s Hildy.

Brilliant. Stunning. The kind of woman who turns heads the moment she walks into a room, even in thrifted clothes.

Most people underestimate her. That’s their first mistake.
Mine was assuming she recognized me.

But the woman who stole my attention during a lecture, and kept it long after, clearly believed I was just another academic.

She still does.

Which means she has no idea the man she left that lecture with lives at the Puck Pad. The same place she’s about to call home.

What if the night she barely remembers is only the beginning?

Josh Hurst was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became the villain in my origin story.
I gave him my heart. He broke it without flinching. So, I did what any self-respecting, heart-shattered girl would do—I declared war.
Our revenge game? Legendary.
Until I left for college and swore I’d never look back.

But life doesn’t care about vows made in the dark.
When my father dies unexpectedly, I’m dragged back to the hometown I outgrew, handed guardianship of my grieving kid brother, and forced to take over my father’s struggling veterinary clinic.
And waiting for me—like karma with a smirk—is Josh.
Not as a memory.
Not as a ghost.
But as my new business partner.

*`Review: Stout Of My League by Gia Stevens`*

Title: Stout of My League
Series:  Brews & Flings #4
Author: Gia Stevens


REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the fourth book in the series. Oh my gosh I loved Nora and Miles so much. They both were interested in other people, but a proposition of spicy lessons leads to so much more. Once Nora and Miles start being around one another you can see what is right in front of them. Miles is so adorably awkward and nerdy. Some of my favorite scenes are with Miles' family. Such wholesome, fun, and humorous moments especially with the kids of the family. We see Miles just being himself freely. Wakes something up in Nora that's for sure. One scene with Miles' drone brought tears to my eyes with how beautiful it is. That scene will stick with me for a long time. The pure joy felt in that moment. Nora has a hard time believing in the good that comes her way. Miles on paper may not seem like the guy for Nora, but he is the perfect one. He has some romantic moves in his arsenal.  He has the patience to wait for what truly matters and is Nora's biggest champion. A great read!

BLURB:
A spicy opposites attract, fake dating standalone romance by romantic comedy author Gia Stevens…

He has something I want. I have something he needs. The tradeoff… fake dating.

Bartending pays the bills while I develop OneDate, an app for finding a plus-one. But Miles Kayson, hopeless romantic and walking first-date disaster in black-rimmed glasses, is determined to use my app to charm his dream girl.

Until one small rescue turns into a huge mistake.
Now his entire family thinks I’m his soulmate.

To keep up the lie, we strike a deal. I’ll be his fake girlfriend for his help in return.
Strictly business. Zero feelings.

Except our fake relationship includes practice dates.
The practice dates turn into spicy lessons.
And suddenly we’re standing too close, touching too long, and kissing like we forgot it’s only for show.

Miles is sweet, earnest, and dangerously good at proving nice guys do it better. He listens. He learns. And he’s very eager to please. But he’s not my type and definitely out of my league.

If I’m not careful, I’ll forget this was only supposed to be fake.

Stout Of My League is an opposite attract, fake dating, spicy lessons romantic comedy. Be prepared to laugh-out-loud one minute and swoon the next in this steamy standalone romcom. The Brews and Flings series is a spin-off of the Harbor Highlands series. You’ll see a lot of familiar characters but also new ones. Each book in the Brews and Flings series is set in the same world, and delivers a guaranteed happily ever after.

Title: Darling Daffodils Farm 
Series: Hope Harbor #1
Author: Brittanée Nicole



REVIEW:
5 Stars
This is the first book in the series and I'm so invested in this series already. The main characters had me turning the pages, but the secondary characters are just as good. The Liberty Ladies are a hoot! As I was reading this I would be going I hope this character gets a book, I hope this one does too. There is plenty of heart and feels in this one, but it brings all the steam. The chemistry between Tally and Walker is burning hot hot hot! There is also a bit of a sad tone as well with the passing of Tally's dad. You can feel how much his family and town loved that man. It tells you what kind caring person he was. I'm so happy he brought a bit of that to Walker. Walker's backstory pulls on the heartstrings. I'm happy for Tally with her coming home, but I was so ecstatic Walker gets to experience the family love he always wanted. Now it's not all sunshine and rainbows for these two because they butted heads a lot. Though their first meeting quite memorable indeed. This book was such a joy to read. The sense of humor in this one was one of my favorite parts of the book. Eli and the Liberty Ladies always had me chuckling. My heart was so happy where this book went for Tally, her family, Walker, and his family. I was wearing a huge smile when I finished this one. I'm really hoping Walker's sister gets a book because Walker's nephew was so fun! The description of the farm with the flowers led to me having a beautiful images in my head. I would so want to experience the wildflower field. I can't wait to see what comes next for the town and farm. 

BLURB:
Prepare to fall in love amongst the wildflowers this spring. . .

From the romance superstar author of The Boston Bolts hockey series comes a rivals-to-lovers, grumpy-sunshine romance about a young woman returning to her family’s daffodil farm only to find someone unexpected running her daddy’s business.

They say you can never tame a wildflower...

When aspiring pastry chef, Tally Darling, returns home to her family’s daffodil farm, the last thing she expects to find is a hot—half-naked—farmhand living in her childhood bedroom and running her late daddy’s business.

Jesse Walker might be gorgeous but he’s also infuriatingly grumpy. Walker has no time for Tally and the feeling is mutual.

That is, until Tally hears him moan over one of her signature salted honey cupcakes. And then discovers how good it tastes when they kiss.

As dewy April days turn into warm May evenings, Walker and Tally soon realize that there is a thin line between love and hate. But will their budding connection grow into something that lasts beyond one season?

Whitney Dineen
(Pity Series)
Publication date: March 30th 2026
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

What happens when a quirkier than normal girl meets a hunky doctor from New York?

It’s not that I have subpar intelligence, or that I’m a total weirdo. In fact, I would consider myself kind, creative, and an all-in-all great catch—if you can get past a few peculiarities.

I love soft things. ALL soft things, and I surround myself with them to help self-sooth my way through the day. I have very particular opinions about sand, aluminum foil, and gum snappers. You wouldn’t believe how many men find this odd. In short, being on the spectrum has not exactly done wonders for my love life.

Enter Dr. Thomas Culpepper. Never in a million years would I have predicted someone like him would move to tiny little Elk Lake, Wisconsin. Then he gets sent to my photography studio to have his picture taken. I misunderstood the assignment, and instead of taking a boring old headshot like the hospital wanted, I forced him to take sexy pirate photos.

As far as meet cutes go, it was awkward. I won’t even mention the baby oil …

Pity Prank is a laugh-out-loud, small town romantic comedy featuring misunderstandings galore, a tiny bit of fake dating, a lot of fuzzy sweaters and socks, and oh, yeah, some sexy pirate photos.

Perfect for fans of Hallmark vibes. Book eight in a feel-good series of standalones.

The broody king of one-word answers.

And the man everyone knows keeps one foot out the door.

Surprisingly, when two pink lines turn my world upside down, Foster doesn't run. He steps in, he shows up, and he insists we do this together.

Pretending we're fine is easy. Pretending this is just about the baby? Not so much.
