*`Review: Take My Kiss by Brooke Montgomery`*

Title: Take My Kiss
Series: Willow Branch Mountain #3
Author: Brooke Montgomery


REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the third book in the series. Colt is one delicious hero. He is prime book boyfriend material. I loved the scenes with him and Amelia's children. It melted my heart into a puddle of goo. He steps up in every meaningful way and has patience along the way. Men should take notes!  A one night stand would never be enough for these two and fate makes sure that happens. Danger is lurking for Amelia so Colt offers up his place as a refuge for the small family. I so love the big cast of characters from Willow Branch to some of my favorites from Sugarland Creek. Amelia has had a rough go in life, but this stay at Willow Branch puts her on a path she is meant to be on. The chemistry between Amelia and Colt burns up the pages. They bring all the steamy hotness. This book also brings all the heart as well. I was so happy where this book went. This story is what Amelia and her children deserved. I was hooked right from the first page and gobbled it right up. This is a book that I wanted to just gobble up, but also take my time because I didn't want it to end. It had the perfect combo of heat, heart, humor, with a touch of danger that kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm already excited for the next book. 

BLURB:
A forced proximity stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a cowboy who’s ready to settle down and the single mom who’s used to doing everything alone, but reluctantly takes his help when a threat looms…

?I met him at a wedding and his Southern charm quickly swept me off my feet—and into his bed.

The following morning, I bailed before he woke up and never planned to see him again. As a single mom of two, my priorities are my kids, work, and school. Dating isn't even on my radar.

But when a man comes after my son and follows us home, we’re forced into hiding.

Staying at the house of my one-night stand I ghosted over a year ago is the last thing I expect when the door opens, so I do the only rational thing I can think of and pretend I don't remember him.
 
And I definitely don't anticipate him taking care of me when I get sick, watching my kids, or cooking for us—but he does without hesitation.

It’s impossible not to fall for him, especially when he helps me confront my past.

I'm not the only one at risk for getting attached to him, his family, or small mountain town. My kids adore him and want us to stay, but my life is complicated enough as it is—and it'd never work out.

Take My Kiss is book #3 in the Willow Branch Mountain interconnected series. Each one ends in a happily-ever-after with a hook into the next one, and although you don’t have to read them in order, you’ll get a better reading experience if you do.

(The Rhythm and Design Series, #1)
Publication date: May 18th 2025
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

A soulful architect. A gospel-rooted musician. A love built to last.
Rhythm and Design: A Platinum Chocolate Romance is a powerful story of purpose, passion, and divine timing.

Claire Baldwin is used to building beauty from structure—dreaming in blueprints, raised among silver spoons and Ivy League expectations. Focused, brilliant, and untouchable, love was never part of the plan. Until one almost-mistake in her youth taught her the price of giving too much to someone who offered too little.

Oliver Jamison Graham, the son of a revered pastor, walked away from the pulpit and into the chaos of the music industry. Between neon stages and lonely hotel rooms, he searched for something sacred—something real. Music filled his nights, but his faith kept whispering him home.

When Claire and Oliver’s paths collide again, it isn’t just chemistry—it’s destiny. But building a life together means facing the unspoken: the pasts they’ve tucked away, the faith they’re still figuring out, and the families who’ve prayed them into purpose.

Together, they’ll navigate ambition, intimacy, trust, and spiritual alignment in a romance steeped in grace, humor, and honest love. Can two people from different rhythms create a design strong enough to stand?

If you love later-in-life second chances, clean-but-steamy romance, emotional depth, and characters who wrestle with faith as fiercely as they fall in love—Rhythm and Design will leave you breathless and blessed.

*`New Release & Review: Top Shelf Stud by Kate Meader`*

Title: Top Shelf Stud
Series: Chicago Players #3
Author: Kate Meader


REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the third book in the series and my new favorite so far. I love Jason and Franky so much. I'm one of those readers that love a brainiac/nerdy character and sports jock character falling for one another. That opposites attract trope is one of my faves. I give major props to Franky for having a plan and going after her dreams. Jason is prime book boyfriend material. It’s not a stretch to imagine since Theo is his brother. Franky and Jason might have started the journey has contractual, but each of them really getting to know one another takes them a whole new level. Jason easily has this reader won over by how he is with Franky's cats I never stood a chance of not liking him. Then how he steps up to be there for Franky, game over. The Rebels have such a great cast of character and I'm really loving this next generation of them. I love we still get to see some of the OGs. Still getting a good amount of Theo makes me so happy. This book was such a joy to read. It delivers on the heat, heart, and humor. I can't wait for the next book because it sounds like it's going to be a wild ride. 

BLURB:
The snail doc wants a baby. I volunteered to do the deed. But it isn’t long before I realize a “donation” will never be enough. I want to be a dad, but most of all, I want her.

Franky

When confronted with the cold, hard facts of her diminishing chances to be a mom, what’s a woman of science to do?

Make a spreadsheet of eligible donors, of course.

Finding a man for life is not in the cards, but one for this singular purpose? I can do that. As the daughter of a Chicago Rebels legend and an expert in the field of gastropods—more commonly known as snails and slugs—I have plenty of choices in the worlds of both hockey and academia. The selection process should be easy, especially as my methodology has already eliminated several options, including Jason Isner, childhood nemesis and recently acquired defenseman for the Rebels. I’ve always considered him arrogant, cruel, and to be honest, not the brightest bulb.

I’m rarely wrong. But I might have been mistaken about Jason . . .

Jason

I surprised even myself when I offered to be Franky St. James’s baby daddy, but fatherhood has been a dream of mine forever. If I can achieve my goal without the hassle of a relationship, even better. I won’t be one of those “pump and dump” donors, though. I want the whole package: nighttime feedings, shopping for cute onesies, teaching my kid to skate. I’m in it for life, and as Franky and I travel this road together, I start to imagine what that life might look like. Not just a baby, but a family of my own.

The thing is, the doc has all sorts of hypotheses about jocks and relationships, and it’s going to take a lot of persuasion—sexy and otherwise—to prove her wrong. She might think the mating rituals of her beloved snails are the only “coupling” worth studying, but I’m determined to show her that when it comes to seeking a mate, this player is as driven as any species in the animal kingdom.

Because making a baby is just the beginning . . .

*`Review: The Hockey Situation by Lyra Parish`*

Title: The Hockey Situation
Series: Billionaire Situation #6
Author: Lyra Parish


REVIEW:
4 Stars
I've loved this series and Lyra Parish's writing, but I'm going to honest I struggled a bit with Patterson and Kendall at first. They give off very strong enemies to love vibes. I totally understand why Patterson is acting the way he us, but I personally struggled connecting with these two. Then the flip switched when we really get to see them stop denying what is there between them. It's not going to be easy for them when she is the coach's daughter and he is the star player on the team and her ex's twin. I mean my opinion was already changed, but seeing the depths of their feelings later in the book hit me right in the heart. These two have burning hot chemistry that had me fanning myself at times. I may have been a tad skeptical at first, but Kendall and Patterson redeemed it for me. I'm already intrigued for the next book. It sounds like it's going to a fun ride. 

BLURB:
Hating Patterson Cross is easy.
Keeping my hands off him? Not so much.

He's my ex-fiancé's identical twin brother, my father's star hockey player, and the man I've despised for years. That's three very good reasons I shouldn't ask Pattycakes to be my hookup for the season.
But I recklessly do it anyway.

To my surprise, my biggest hater says yes.

We agree to keep it secret. Behind closed doors, I'm his. In public, nothing changes. It's so much harder than it sounds. Because the more time I spend with Patterson, the more I realize hate was never the problem. It was just easier than admitting the truth.


The Hockey Situation is an enemies-to-lovers, forbidden, sports romance with a happily ever after! It can be read as a stand-alone. Included: spicy scenes and a cocky hockey star who's playing to win…her heart
