*`Review: The Royal Situation by Lyra Parish

 Title: The Royal Situation
Series: Billionaire Situation #7
Author: Lyra Parish

REVIEW:
5 stars
Lyra saved the best for last. I'm one that doesn't always go for the royal romances, but when one of your favorite authors writes one you read it. This is now my new favorite in the series. I literally couldn't put this one down and would get mad when life got in the way of my reading. I loved Addison and Louis. The deep connection between them is what fairytales are made of. These two had me at their chess playing because that game has a deep meaningful connection to Louis with his grandmother. The storm these two face would knock anyone down, but these two are left standing tall and ready to conquer anything. The king (Louis' dad) was one of my favorite characters in this book. Now my favorite is Addison. She is impressive and she doesn't cower to anyone. Louis is going to need someone like her at his side to rule. I loved all the little hidden meanings on things. The one big take away for me after reading this is Addison and Louis are connected on a soul deep level. This love story is truly beautiful and why people would fight dragons in fairytales. I can't recommend this one enough. 

BLURB:
While my parents search for my future wife, a pretty painter arrives at the palace and ruins everything in the best possible way…

I'm the crown prince and tabloid regular who couldn't find a bride by thirty-five so now my fate is being decided for me. As the palace fills with eligible princesses, Addison Cross shows up to compete for the esteemed royal artist position. I never thought I'd see her again.

There are too many reasons why she needs to leave. Her being my friend's little sister is close to the top. Plus, I'll be engaged any day now with a wedding and child not far behind. The timing is terrible and we're both off-limits. It's trouble in the making, but that doesn't stop us.

We break every rule to be together. We sneak out at midnight, steal moments in corridors, and choose each other in secret as everyone around me plans a marriage I don't want. Now I'm hiding a forbidden affair from those who control my future while falling for the one woman I can never have.

The Royal Situation is a forbidden, secret-romance, royal rom-com with a happily ever after! It can be read as a stand-alone, but for the full Billionaire Situation Series experience, please start with The Wife Situation. Included: spicy scenes and a charming disaster prince who'd burn down a kingdom just to keep her.

 Title: Falling Stars
Series: Wild at Heart #2
Author: Lex Martin
Release Date: July 24, 2025

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the second book in the series. I couldn't wait to dive into this one. Maverick and Baylee were best friends so they have all that history until one night changed everything. Now life has dealt both of them some blows that leads to healing wounds in their small town. This book has all the small town charm with a romantic suspense twist. This book had all the heart and heat, but with a big dose of drama. Some nasty characters are causing Baylee and her little one some trouble. Don't even get me started on Maverick with little Leo. Total swoon fest that is, let me tell you. Baylee and Maverick have to work out their past to have a future. When trouble starts escalating it's more than hearts on the line. A really enjoyable book. I loved Baylee and Maverick. I felt for Baylee because I don't know how she was still standing with what she went through. The support system of her BBF and the Walker family meant everything. We got to know Baylee's BBF Paige in the first book in the series. I so loved seeing them enjoying their HEA. I really can't wait for more Walker brothers!!

BLURB:
Falling for the guy who broke my heart years ago wasn’t on my to-do list when I snuck into his condo. 

Maverick Walker was my best friend, my safe place—the boy I trusted with my whole heart—until one reckless kiss in high school ruined everything. Now, he’s an NFL football player, and I’m a struggling small-town hairstylist, newly single and expecting a baby. With my ex gone and someone vandalizing my business, my life feels like it’s crumbling beneath me. 

When my best friend Paige suggests hiding out in Maverick’s swanky condo to regroup while he’s recovering from an injury in New York, it seems like a lifeline.

Except he comes home. Unexpectedly. When I’m half-dressed.

Now I’m stuck in his orbit again, unprepared for the way he still makes my heart race. Maverick is charming, ridiculously hot, and as off-limits as ever. But I have bigger problems than his smoldering smile—like figuring out who’s targeting me and why they won’t stop. 

As the threats escalate, so do Maverick’s protective instincts. But with his life in New York and mine in Texas, our worlds couldn’t be further apart. And yet, with danger closing in, his arms are the only safe haven I have left.

But how do I let him protect me without risking my heart again—when loving him feels as out of reach as a falling star? 

Falling Stars is a single mom, forced proximity, friends to lovers romance with second chance vibes. If you enjoy charming cowboys, sassy heroines, or secretive small towns, this book is for you!

*`Review: Legal Catch by ML Preston`*

Title: Legal Catch

Series: Tennessee Terrors #4

Author: M.L. Preston

Release Date: June 3, 2025

REVIEW:

4.5 Stars

Another winner in this multi author baseball series. I was hooked right from the beginning. Now I was with Tahlia on her neighbor in the beginning. I would have been pissed too. Jake proves both Tahlia and to me the reader there is so much more to this playboy ball player than his nighttime activities. I loved watching him woo Tahlia. One of the many things I liked about her was she didn't make it easy for him and his charm. Jake had to work for it for a change and you can see the maturity it lead to in Jake. I loved both their families so much. One of my favorite scenes is them all of them watching one of Jake's games. It's a slow burn with all the delicious tension. One thing that made Jake prime book boyfriend material is how he appreciates Tahlia for her and so supportive of her dreams. Can't get any better than that. The banter between these two right from their first meeting was another favorite part of mine. This book had the perfect combo of heart, humor, and slow burn heat. It was a book I was sad to finish because I didn't want it to end and say goodbye to these characters. 

BLURB:

He’s the star athlete who thrives on chaos. She’s the determined lawyer-in-training who craves order. They share a wall, a grudge, and absolutely no common ground… or so they think.

Tahlia Carter has one goal—pass the bar exam and launch her legal career. Living in a luxury condo was supposed to mean peace and quiet, the perfect environment to study. Instead, she’s stuck next door to Jake Reynolds, the Tennessee Terrors’ infuriatingly charming centerfielder who treats every night like a personal afterparty. The walls are thin, and so is her patience.

After one too many sleepless nights, Tahlia reaches her breaking point and confronts her loud, cocky neighbor. But instead of backing down, Jake doubles down—teasing her, tempting her, and challenging every rule she’s set for herself. When an unexpected act of chivalry turns into an impulsive invitation to his next game, Tahlia shocks them both by accepting.

What starts as a reluctant truce quickly spirals into something neither of them can ignore. The attraction is undeniable, the tension unbearable, and soon, their battles move from the walls between them to the spaces much closer.

She’s playing it safe. He’s playing to win. But when the game is love, will either of them follow the rules?

Legal Catch is the fifth book in a series with ten amazing authors about the Tennessee Terrors baseball team. All books have crossover characters but are standalone novels and can be read in any order.
