REVIEW:
4 Stars
I can't believe this is the last book in the series. It all comes to a head with the Lyon group. The suspenseful moments kept me on the edge of my seat. I had to keep reading to know what was going to happen next. Thorn had me since knowing he had a little kitten, Violet. Right there is some very swoon worthy material for this cat lover. My heart goes out to Thorn though because he feels like he doesn't deserve any happiness because of his past. His past is a rough one. I'm not gonna lie there is one part I thought he was going to let me down, but I should have known. That moment was so beautiful. River loves to stress bake. I completely understand the need to have your hands doing something or you go nuts. I would love to bake with her because she could teach me so much. It brings me so much joy to see how the previous characters are enjoying their HEAs. I loved the epilogue so much! It made my heart so happy to see where River and Thorn are in life. They deserve it! Plus I got my answer on something I was wondering about through out this whole book and I can't tell you how delighted I am with the answer!! This book was the perfect way to end this series on. 

BLURB:
This was supposed to be a simple bargain…
Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan.
I know better than to trust powerful men—especially one whose world is built on secrets and careful control.
He wanted a way to get close to me. I only wanted to keep my distance.
But someone out there is watching us. Waiting to destroy everything I’ve fought to keep safe.
Now the only person standing between me and ruin is one I can’t dare to trust…the man who makes me believe in stolen kisses, whispered promises, and moments that feel too much like forever.
Walking away will keep us safe.
But some risks are impossible to ignore…even when the cost could be everything.


From the USA Today Bestselling author of Bad Billionaires, Elise Faber, comes a brand new billionaire series! These protective, possessive businessmen fall hard and fast for the women they love…and then never let them go.

This is the final book in the Oak Ridge Vineyards series.

Title: Red Wine Lover
Series: Tales from the Chocolate Lab Café #2
Author: Kristin Jeffries




REVIEW:
4 Stars
This is the second book in the series. You have to love a series that is surrounded by animal lovers. There are two great doggies Bebe and Cab. Lauren and Jean-Luc had me gobbling up the pages. Lauren's backstory just broke my heart and it made it very evident that she so deserves someone like Jean-Luc in her life. That man is green flags all around. He is prime book boyfriend material then add he is tall and tatted with a French accent, yes please. To see Lauren really blossom into the woman she wants to be did my heart good. It felt inspiring honestly. This book is full of all the feels. There were parts where I wanted to teach her ex a lesson. Nasty human being that guy. This was just an enjoyable read with two characters you can root for the HEA the whole way. 

 BLURB:
Their dogs tricked them into one bed, but will their secrets kick them out?
 
Lauren escaped to Dogwood to start over, taking her Papillon dog, Baby, and her secrets with her. Running from her toxic ex and those who said she was too poor, too weak, too good-girl to make it at her age.
 
She’s ready to stand on her own two feet—well, her own two red, high heel, De Luxe Chucks. And she found the perfect place to launch her dream French bakery just down the street from her bestie’s café.
 
Unexpected distraction…or attraction? A certain tatted, black-bearded, sooty-eyed Frenchman, whose dimples don’t quite make up for his over-the-top watchful ways.
 
Wine seller Jean-Luc was struck by a coup de foudre—thunderbolt of love—the stormy night they met.  He promised to return to his family wine estate, yet he can’t get the stunning and sassy Lauren out of his head.
 
Sure, Lauren parked Jean-Luc in the friendzone—she needs friends more than flings right now. But why is the recovering bad boy so hot to protect her at any cost? And why does he hide from thunderstorms just like his rescue Bernese Mountain Dog, Cabernet?
 
When instant BFFs, Baby and Cab, force the couple into sharing one bed, the stakes just get higher. Will they unleash their deepest desires? Or will they fall prey to their regrets and run from forever love?
 
Can Lauren and Jean-Luc trust each other with their hearts…and ALL their secrets?
 
Red Wine Lover is a swoony, spicy romcom featuring a belly-button-baring wine tasting, matchmaking fur babies, meddling found family, and all the rich, full-bodied feels.

*`New Release & Review: Flirty Fall Fling by Lyra Parish`*

🦋 ·.·´REVIEW`·.·ðŸ¦‹

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!

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.

🦋 ·.·´REVIEW`·.·ðŸ¦‹

Title: Wild Love
Series: Rose Hill #1
Author: Elsie Silver


REVIEW:
5 Stars
This is the first book in the series. You don't know how excited I was to learn all four books in this series are single dad romance. That is so my jam and will devour single dad romance. This book had me hooked right from the beginning. I love a good brother's best friend/best friend's little sister. I hated why Rosie had to go back to Rose Hill, but I'm not mad with the path her life took there. Ford gets many surprises as he returns to Rose Hill for his next business adventure. Ford has such a big heart even if he doesn't come across that way to the public eye. The way he goes all in with Cora and her situation is a prime book boyfriend move. There is plenty of humor in this one especially when Rosie's brother West is involved. This book also delivers on the steam. The chemistry between Rosie and Ford is burning hot! I mean the way Rosie and Ford butt heads is like foreplay for those two. Great cast of characters except Rosie's former boss. I'm so hooked on this series now and I can't wait to dive into the next book. I have a feeling this small town of Rose Hill is going to stay with me a long time. 

BLURB:
She's been driving him wild for years.

The good kind of wild. The bad kind of wild.

But mostly, the kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend's little sister and knowing you can't have her.

Forbes may have labeled Ford Grant the World's Hottest Billionaire, but all he cares about is escaping the press and opening a recording studio in gorgeous small town Rose Hill. Something that comes to a screeching halt when he ends up face-to-face with a young girl who claims he's her biological father. Now, he spends his days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old, all while trying desperately to keep his hands the hell off his best friend's sister, Rosie Belmont.

After living in the city, Rosie came blasting back into town like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic. And one wide-eyed, desperate plea for a job is all it takes for Ford to hire her. He vows to keep her at arm's length. Tries to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her, verbal sparring is a type of foreplay-friction that soon turns to blistering heat.

Ford knows damn well he shouldn't cross this line. But shouldn't and can't are two very different things.

And the only thing he truly can't do is resist her.

🦋 ·.·´NEW RELEASE & REVIEW`·.·ðŸ¦‹
While You Were Trending
Accidentally Infamous #2
Cover (designed by Qamber Designs)

TROPES: 
Former Pro-hockey player,
best friend’s ex/ex’s best friend
opposites attract
forced proximity
he falls first
hurt/comfort
heroine gone viral

BLURB: 
There are three things I will never do (again) in my life: 
1. Agree to be filmed doing something stupid 
2. Let someone else decide if I’m worthy 
3. Fall in love 
 
Four years ago, I went viral in a moment that earned me the nickname The Wedding Wrecker. I’ve been in hiding at a closed winery with a small group of other accidentally viral women ever since. 
 
But the winery is in financial trouble, and we’re taking every opportunity we get to try to save it. 
 
Including agreeing to be the focus of a documentary about re-opening. 
 
Unfortunately, the documentarian is my ex’s best friend. 
 
My ex’s best friend who always hated me with the passion of a million angry internet users. 
 
But if it’ll save our home, then fine. I’ll tolerate Declan Fox again. 
 
Except the Declan I last knew four years ago is different. 
 
Kinder. 
 
Less arrogant. 
 
More charming. 
 
Unexpectedly attractive. 
 
And finally free to tell me that he’s always loved me. 
 
Thanks, life. I really needed this plot twist. 
 
While You Were Trending is a funny, feel-good romance featuring a retired hockey star who’s always come in second, the world’s most infamous former child reality star, and an unbreakable sisterhood. It’s perfect for readers who love second chances and need a reminder that we can always be the person we want to be.

The second book in this great series. If you're looking for a hilarious read, but also delivers on all the feels this is the book you want. We are back at the closed winery where they hope it won't be for long with our bad ass women and handy man. Pip is up to her lovable crazy ways and the thing she says. I love a good book with animals and Pippa's always have such personalities. Now we get to add Fuff a lovable dog to the mix. One of my favorite parts of this book was watching the healing journey of Ginny and Declan. To me it was inspiring because they come a long way from their past. There are plenty of funny moments that had me chuckling, but man did Declan have me swooning in this one. There is so much more to that man that Ginny could have imagined. His protective and supportive nature especially when it comes to Ginny. A memorable moment for me is the scenes with Declan's brother. Oh so funny! A cameo and mentions that made me squee with happiness. This was such a delightful read. I just gobbled it up in a day and a half. I can't wait for more from this series!

Title: The Goal
Series: Off-Campus #4
Author: Elle Kennedy

REVIEW:
4 Stars
The last book in the Off Campus series. I had a feeling Tucker was going to steal my heart and I was proved right. I will admit I was a little iffy about Sabrina based off her interactions with Dean in The Score. Getting to know her and getting her backstory explains so much. She hasn't had an easy life and she is just trying to get out. Tucker is made of book boyfriend material. He is all that southern charm and manners. How supportive he is of Sabrina won me completely over. I thought I was going to like his mom, but she was rubbing me the wrong way at first. She still gets a little side eye from me. When a little unexpected surprise is coming you couldn't have asked for a better person than Tucker to be part of the ride. A great sense of humor in this one. I did not like having to live through a sad part a second time. Just gutted me again. I really enjoyed this one and seeing this core group getting ready to move onto the next parts of their lives. 

BLURB:
Get ready for another binge-worthy romance from New York Times and international bestselling author Elle Kennedy!

She's good at achieving her goals…

College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cutthroat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.

But the game just got a whole lot more complicated

Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he's fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn't hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist.

Title: The Score
Series: Off-Campus #3
Author: Elle Kennedy

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
I saw the first season of the show before reading this book and it convinced me I'm a Dean girl. Well reading the book definitely proved that. I loved this book. Allie and Dean had me hooked from the first page. The banter between them so great and they have burning hot chemistry. Honestly I had a feeling these two would set the pages on fire. This book had me laughing quite often. I wasn't completely prepared for this book to rip my heart out. I won't lie I was crying at one point. I hated seeing Dean like that. One of my favorite parts of the book is when Dean is working with the little Hurricanes. What really had me was Dean and Dakota. I loved the Lord of the Rings reference in this one too. What I truly got from this is how good Dean and Allie are for one another. Dean floundering for a bit with good reason, but pulling himself up when called to. I'm just happy Dean lived up to the hype the show gave me in season one to be top book boyfriend material.

BLURB:
He knows how to score, on and off the ice

Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn’t have the first clue about what she’s going to do after college. To make matters worse, she’s nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won’t include the king of one-night stands.

It’ll take more than flashy moves to win her over

Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition, girls…he’s a ladies man, all right, and he’s yet to meet a woman who’s immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world—and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It’s not over until he says it’s over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it’s time to stop focusing on scoring…and shoot for love.
