*`Book Blitz: Pity Prank`*

Pity Prank
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.

*** For fans of The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

*`Release Blitz & Review: The Wild Card by Piper Rayne`*

 The Wild Card by Piper Rayne is now live!

Getting pregnant after a one-night stand with my brother's best friend was never part of the plan.

We're talking about Foster Davis here.

Chicago Colts closing pitcher.

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.

*`Review: Tough Guy by Rachel Reid`*

 Title: Tough Guy
Series: Game Changers #3
Author: Rachel Reid
Narrator: Tor Thom

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the third book in the series. The narrator once again appreciate the way his voice changes for the characters. Makes it easier to know who is talking while listening. I can't get over how adorable Fabian and Ryan are. The gentle giant to smaller Fabian. They may seem so opposite, but they fit like puzzle pieces. Ryan has a reputation as an enforcer around the league and on his new team yet again is called on that reputation. Though dealing with that he reconnects with a blast from the past. A much needed delightful surprise. I love Fabian's friend group. They are so found family vibes. I can relate with Ryan on the anxiety. It's war most of the time. It made me happy Ryan had Wyatt on the team which leads to working with the children. Those were some of my favorite moments. The kids were a delight especially for Ryan. Listening to Fabian and Ryan reconnect that leads to so much more. They are so cute. They are so good for one another. My favorite character of the series pops in to me delight. The epilogue so good and perfect way to end this one. This series is so good. I can't wait to read the next one! 

BLURB:
They have nothing in common—so why does Ryan feel most like himself whenever he’s with Fabian?

Pro hockey star Ryan Price may be an enforcer, but off the ice he struggles with anxiety. Recently traded to the Toronto Guardians, he’s determined to make a fresh start in the city’s dynamic LGBTQ Village. The last thing he expects to stumble upon in his new neighborhood is a blast from his past in the fabulous form of Fabian Salah.

Aspiring musician Fabian loathes hockey. But that doesn’t stop him from being attracted to a certain burly, ginger-bearded defenseman. He hasn’t forgotten the kiss they almost shared back in high school, and it’s clear the chemistry between them has only intensified.

Fabian is more than happy to be Ryan’s guide to the gay scene in Toronto. Between dance clubs and art exhibits—and the most amazing sex—Ryan’s starting to feel something he hasn’t experienced in a long time: joy. But playing the role of the heavy on the ice has taken its toll on his body and mind, and a future with Fabian may mean hanging up his skates for good.

Title: Heated Rivalry
Series:  Game Changers #2
Author: Rachel Reid
Narrator: Tor Thom

REVIEW:
5 Stars
I couldn't wait to dive into Ilya and Shane's story. The narrator for this one did a good job. I loved the way he changed his voice for each character. Now I did watch the show before reading this so I already have what the characters look like in my head. When scenes played out I could fully see them. It blew my mind how on point the dialogue is. I appreciate more of the story I get from reading the book and the differences. Nothing compares to all the little details we get in the book. Be still my heart on the way this book ends and the epilogue. I was smiling and so giddy. I'm so glad the show came out because I would have missed out on such a good story. I'm so mad at myself I didn't know this series existed. Rachel Reid had me falling in love with these two. I was anticipating the famous cottage line and experiencing the cottage moments in all their glory. This book lived up to the hype and blew it out of the water for me. I was instantly swept away by these two and right into the story. It was hard to stop listening to it. All the yearning between them, swoon! Their banter had me chuckling. Their chemistry burning hot. This is a steamy read! A must read!

BLURB:
Nothing interferes with Shane Hollander’s game—definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.

Pro hockey star Shane Hollander isn’t just crazy talented, he’s got a spotless reputation. Hockey is his life. Now that he’s captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won’t let anything jeopardize that, especially the sexy Russian whose hard body keeps him awake at night.

Boston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov is everything Shane’s not. The self-proclaimed king of the ice, he’s as cocky as he is talented. No one can beat him—except Shane. They’ve made a career on their legendary rivalry, but when the skates come off, the heat between them is undeniable. When Ilya realizes he wants more than a few secret hookups, he knows he must walk away. The risk is too great.

As their attraction intensifies, they struggle to keep their relationship out of the public eye. If the truth comes out, it could ruin them both. But when their need for each other rivals their ambition on the ice, secrecy is no longer an option.

*`Review: Sexy Nerd by Kayley Loring`*

Sexy Nerd: Revised Edition

Kayley Loring

REVIEW:

4 Stars

Now I love Kayley Loring books, but I'm going to admit this wasn't a favorite of mine. I had a little bit of hard time connecting with the characters at first. It's a good brother's best/best friend's sister romance. There is plenty of history between the characters. John is adorably nerdy and he is one that is a tad socially awkward at times. He does have good book boyfriend moments. I was happy for the characters because where they ended up is where each them have always dreamed about. It's bit a of a bumpy road for these two. You can tell how much John cares because he comes up with a fake dating plan to get a chance at his end game when it comes to Olivia. He will pull out all the stops to win the woman of his dreams. It has Kayley's sense of humor and I did find myself laughing while reading. The humor is one of the draws for Kayley Loring books. 

BLURB:

He’s the hottest man I’ve ever seen.

And then…he speaks.

And I realize who he is.

The world knows him as John Brandt—the genius billionaire tech entrepreneur and investor. I have always thought of him as my brother’s annoying, nerdy best friend. He pulled my pigtails and called me Tiny Dancer. I put rubber snakes in his sleeping bag and called him Johnny B. Nerdballs.

Now he needs a pretend girlfriend for an important business trip to England, New York, and our hometown. Says he doesn’t want to bring someone he’d have to make an effort with and he thought of me. He can help me with my ballet career, but more importantly, I was hoping to bring a cocky rich guy to his knees this summer. Everybody wins!

He may still be a nerd in the streets, but he has optimized his firmware performance between the sheets.

Every time he opens his mouth, I can’t believe this guy’s for real.

Every time he touches me, I have to remind myself that this relationship is fake.

* This Revised Edition of Sexy Nerd is a complete rewrite of the original Sexy Nerd that was published in 2018. It is over 20,000 words longer than the original version. The general structure and main characters of the story are the same, the best parts are still here, but many details and plot points have been updated and expanded.

*`Book Blitz: Nerdy Girl Nell`*

Nerdy Girl Nell
Lindsey Gray
(Nerdy Girl Novels, #2)
Publication date: March 17th 2026
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Sports

Nell De Lacy loves small things like story time, a well-stocked bookshelf, and evenings with friends. Relearning how to date after grief was supposed to be the hardest thing.

Enter professional wrestler Chance Robicheaux. Towering, tender, and utterly relentless about keeping her safe. The two become friends first, spending nights learning each other’s quirks. Between hospital rooms and poker nights, the two find something electric and real.

Nell’s life suddenly fractures with a violent assault, a cache of stolen images, and a blackmailer who won’t be denied. As the threat tightens and the press draws near, Nell’s voice, literally and figuratively, fails her at the worst possible time.

With the De Lacy family company’s December board vote approaching, Nell faces a critical challenge that threatens to upend her life. The outcome of the vote carries the risk of awarding a coveted contract to the wrong people, forcing Nell to balance family loyalty, legal danger, and a secret that could change everything.

Nell and Chance’s is a story about rebuilding, of finding courage in therapy and friendship, and discovering there’s strength in asking for help. Nell’s fight becomes Chance’s fight, and soon they choose to fight evil together. Will justice arrive before the quiet she loves is gone forever?
