*`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.

*`Review: Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid`*

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?

*`New Release & Review: Faking Cinderella by Pippa Grant`*

 Title: Faking Cinderella
Series: Small Town Sisterhood #3
Author: Pippa Grant



REVIEW:
4.5 Stars

The last book in the Small Town Sisterhood series. This book had me right from the opening scene. It was way too funny! I loved some Pippa's worlds collided in this one. Rhys and Margot were fantastic. I love Rhys was so impressed by Margot even when he didn't want to be at first. Margot we have met in her sister Daphne's book and I'm so glad she gets her story told. She is such baddie and Girl Boss. She rocks the heck out of it. Though is her plan to have a secret identity when meeting her triple half brothers is questionable. Jack, Lucky, and Decker are such fun! Of course this book had all the Pippa Grant humor that I love so much. I was laughing and chuckling through out. Of course it wouldn't be a Pippa book without a trouble making animal. This book just made me feel happy. I loved where it ended up because it left me with a huge smile on my face. I finished this book in a day. The characters had me locked in. When I'm in need of some joy right now this so delivered. Perfect book to escape reality for a bit. It delivered on the heat, heart, and humor. A favorite part for me is visiting with previous characters enjoying their HEAs. That always make me so happy! A must read!




BLURB:
A grumpy former bodyguard, an heiress in disguise, and an accidental roommate situation… 
 
If I’d known a tall, broad mountain of a man would crash the one-bedroom cabin I’m borrowing, I might have handled things differently. 
 
I still would’ve lied to him. He doesn’t need to know all of my reasons for wanting to meet my surprise triplet half brothers while undercover as a housekeeper. 
 
But if I’d known I was going to have a surprise roommate, I wouldn’t have rigged a homemade security system in the cabin that left him…erm… Let’s just call it easy to spot in a crowd. 
 
And he wouldn’t have tried to blackmail me when he figured out my real identity. 
 
And I wouldn’t have been so attracted to his audacity that I started looking deeper at the wounded man beneath the gruff exterior. 
 
And then we wouldn’t be here, with him making me scream his name for all of the good reasons every night. 
 
But I can’t keep faking Cinderella forever, and when it’s time for me to come clean, he’ll have to choose—loyalty to my half brothers or belief in me and the noble reason for the long game I’ve been playing. 
 
Faking Cinderella is a swoony romcom featuring a mountain of a man with an even bigger wounded heart and an heiress determined to right a wrong. This opposites attract, secret identity romance stands alone and comes with a sweetly satisfying happily ever after.
