Title: Flirty Fall Fling

Series: Seasonal Swoon #1

Author: Lyra Parish

REVIEW:

4.5 Stars

The first book in a new series and I'm already hooked! This book gives you all the fall witchy vibes. I really liked Blaire and she deserves a HEA. Jamie may not truly believe in Blaire's practices, but he respects her so much and that makes him prime book boyfriend. Blaire and Jamie are so cute together. They made me giddy. Boy do they bring the heat. They have some burning hot chemistry. It was so magical watching these two fall when it was only supposed to be a fling. I really enjoyed the witchy elements. This book was so fun and had a lot of humorous moments. I can't wait for the next book in the series because it happens during my favorite time of year, Christmas. 

BLURB:

I read the grumpy skeptic's fortune in the bottom of a coffee cup. The grounds say he'll find true love, but I tell him to expect a flirty fall fling…

In my defense, he thinks I'm a fraud and made it clear he doesn't believe in l-o-v-e. I try to forget him, but he keeps appearing wherever I go. Then he offers me five grand per hour to break a family curse he swears is real. Considering I need the money to repair the roof of my haunted manor, I help him.

Our sessions end before the autumn equinox, and instead of walking away he proposes a new deal: be each other's until Halloween. Against my better judgment, I agree, but with strict rules.

Between sneaking around at the apple orchard and finding each other in the hay maze, I catch myself not wanting to keep him my dirty little secret. The town's meddling matchmakers don't know their beloved Jamie is Jameson Cross, a billionaire in hiding. Or that he's in my bed every night. When the paparazzi track him down and the tabloids leak that he's dating a witch, his bags are already packed for New York.

The cup said he'd find his forever, and I don't believe it's me. Magically, the stubborn man who's never been able to commit to anyone longer than thirty days is determined to prove me wrong.

And I think the universe might be on his side. Pfft.

If you loved Blaire from Fall I Want & The Hookup Situation.... this is HER book! YAY!

Flirty Fall Fling is the first book in a brand new series releasing in September of 2026 by the self-proclaimed fall queen and romcom author, Lyra Parish. This book is a laugh-out-loud spicy romance that's set in the small town of Pine Haven, Colorado where our heroes and heroines fall in love with someone they shouldn't.

This book is a spicy secret dating, romcom with all the fall vibes and more pumpkin pie than you can handle. Recommended for 18+ only!

One volume, two steamy interconnected romances set in 1995 Seattle

Come to My Window
Hazel Bell has lost everything — her job, her apartment, and her future in Seattle. Now her whole world is a thrift-store wardrobe, a family of houseplants, and a stranger in the opposite window who knows exactly what to say.

They exchange notes instead of names. Confessions instead of introductions. And somehow, the man she’s never met becomes the one person she can’t live without.

Gideon Sarkis knows the truth would end them before they ever begin.

He knows exactly who Hazel is. But she doesn’t know him — or how badly he once hurt her. The more notes they write, the harder he falls. But with his obligations pressing in and her options disappearing, their time is running out.

Some windows are meant to be opened.

But some secrets can shatter everything.

Title: Secret Husband

Series: Chicago Players #4

Author: Kate Meader

REVIEW:

4.5 Stars

This was a great addition to the series. Alexei had me swooning big time in this one. The banter and chemistry between him and Lauren top notch. I love the group chat between the players is still so funny. I loved we have cameos from several former players especially Theo. This book is light hearted and fun, but man it has it's serious moments. Between Thad the Cad's nastiness and the the heartbreak with Alexei's dad my emotions were everywhere. I'm not gonna lie I teared up a few times for Alexei because Alzheimer's is so heartbreaking not just the person going through it, but their family as well. It broke my heart to see the heaviness it was putting on Alexei. The Rebel family comes through big time and shows their support. The title of this one is so perfect because Alexei is Lauren's secret Vegas husband. That part is fun and fate working in mysterious ways. I loved watching Alexei try to win his wife's heart once again. Lauren and Alexei have history back into their college playing days. I wanted to strangle Thad for putting Lauren through that, basically her worst nightmare. I can't get enough of this Rebel crew and I'm loving the next generation so much!

BLURB:

Years ago, I broke her heart, but fate has given me a second chance. I am here to claim my wife—and I will fight like hell to make her mine.

Lauren

I might be late to the game of life, but things are finally starting to go my way. I’ve just started my own sports talent agency, stepped on the first rung of the property ladder, and landed myself a normal boyfriend who’s about to propose. (I found the ring!)

Unfortunately, I have a slight problem—as in a husband who is surplus to requirements. Somehow, I got married without even realizing it to the guy who broke my heart years ago. Now he’s back in my life, making demands and turning my world upside down. Except I’m no longer that starry-eyed girl in love with the Russian hockey star. These days I’m a ball-busting tigress for my clients, and the last thing I need is Alexei Nazarov ruining everything for which I’ve worked so hard.

But when he makes me an offer I can’t refuse, I wonder if I’ve struck a bargain with the devil who knows my heart better than anyone …

Alexei

Years ago, I met a hockey playing spitfire and fell ass over skates for her. But my life was in disarray, and I had to let her go. When a chance comes to reconnect with her, I grab it with both hands.

There are obstacles. A boyfriend (unworthy), her disdain for me (admittedly, hot), and the fact I hurt her deeply (my biggest regret). It won’t be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. Known for fighting dirty on the ice, I am not opposed to fighting dirty off it to get what I want.

And I want Lauren Yates …

Title: The Trouble with Flings

Series: The Silvers at Silver Island #2

Author: Melissa Foster

REVIEW:

 4.5 Stars

Get ready to swoon and fall in love with Fitz. Fitz is definitely top book boyfriend material. The way he supports Jennifer in her dreams and is so patient with her makes me wish I could find my own Fitz. I felt for Jennifer because life was sending her some nasty duds, but her fate turned around the summer Fitz came into her life. Though life wasn't done throwing curve balls her way though. Things take an interesting turn for Jennifer and Fitz. I loved the dragonflies in this one because they have a special meaning to me too so that brought a smile to my face. My favorite scene is the easter egg hunt. Oh my gosh so freaking hilarious and sums up the crazy fun Fitz's family is. I can't get over much I love the family growing. The kids are so adorable. That makes me so happy that Melissa keeps things intertwined so we get to see all those moments still. I couldn't put this book down. Jennifer and Fitz had me gobbling up the pages. They had that instant deep connection that lead to burning hot chemistry, but also a love story worth reading. I really recommend reading this one!

BLURB:

Sometimes you have to break all the rules to find everything you never knew you wanted. Come along for the fun, sexy ride as billionaire Fitz Silver pursues his biggest challenge yet—taming wild child Jennifer Stone. Loaded with heat, humor, and heart, this steamy, small-town, standalone romance is unputdownable. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will leave you thinking about it long after you read the last page.

Silver Island’s golden boy Fitz Silver keeps his business dealings clean, his affairs private, and fulfills every promise he makes. Infuriatingly so. He’s six-plus feet of gentleman in the streets and an unrelenting alpha in the sheets. I should know. I enjoyed a single scorching night in his bed over the summer. But contrary to Fitz being every woman’s fantasy, he's my worst nightmare.

I’m a risk taker, a rule breaker. I wasn’t looking for more than a little vacation fun, but that passionate night knocked me off my feet.

When a chance encounter brings me face-to-face with the man who ruined me for all others, I know better than to land in his bed again. Unfortunately, outside my job as a high school principal, I’m not known for my good decisions. Once again I plan to leave Mr. Silver and our surprising connection behind, but he’s annoyingly unforgettable...and then two pink lines change everything.

Title: Beg Me

Series: Play Me #5

Author: Adriana Locke

REVIEW:

5 Stars

This is the final book in the series and it's my favorite! I do love a single dad romance so I just devoured this book. The sense of humor in this one was so good. I was laughing through out while reading. The first meeting between Markie and Jory's son Gus was memorable along with Jory pf course. Gus is quite the character and he just added so much tot this book. Jory is made of book boyfriend material. He is definitely top tier. That man had me swooning left and right. Markie so deserves someone like him after all the duds especially Jasper. They fake date thanks to the small town grape vine working over time. One of my favorite parts is the banter between Markie and Jory.  It's like foreplay for them. Their chemistry is off the charts, but they also have that instant true connection. I love seeing the rest of the crew in their HEAs. The epilogue of this book is everything. I was squealing with happiness overload. Adriana Locke really saved the best for last! 

BLURB:

Markie St. James is officially done with men.

Unfortunately, she needs one to defend her pickleball championship title against her cheating ex-boyfriend.

Her solution comes in the form of Jory Plath, her brother’s best friend, a single dad, and a professional rugby player. He’ll help her defend her title if she helps tutor his son. It’s a simple arrangement. Everybody wins.

Until they don’t.

Somewhere between practices, late nights, and giving the town something to gossip about, Markie and Jory go from pickleball partners to fake dating. And the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes he’s exactly the kind of man she swore off.

Now she’s not sure what’s worse—losing her title, losing the man, or losing her heart.

Love on the Brain

Love Hypothesis #2

Ali Hazelwood

REVIEW:

4 Stars

I really did enjoy this one. I loved the girl power in STEM. Levi and Bee are cute together. I mean Levi had me with him being a devoted cat dad. I was rooting for Bee to finally get the big break to lead her to so many opportunities in her field. Ali Hazelwood did it again with me being a reader who likes dual points of view this first person pov from just Bee had me hooked. I could tell what was going on in Levi's head pretty well based off what Bee was seeing and hearing even if she didn't pick up on it herself. I did have to step away from the book for a brief moment because I was afraid of where my gut was telling me this was going to go and I really really didn't want it to be true. I loved Bee's assistant Rocio so much. She is my kind of people and I love her dark sense of humor. I just love nerdy characters so much. One of my favorite parts of the book is when Levi and Bee visit Penny and Lily. It made me wish Penny had a few more scenes because she was such a delight! A great read!

BLURB:

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis—with explosive results.

Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project - a literal dream come true - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.

Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school - archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.

But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas... devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing.

But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?
