❤️Wicked Pursuit🐺

4.5⭐️ 4🌶️

Ruby is currently in a relationship with Luke, although he isn’t completely aware of exactly who she is or what her parents do. One night, Ruby decides to sneak off, only, she doesn’t realize that she gets caught on camera. Or at least, she doesn’t realize until the Wolf starts making himself known and begins blackmailing her. 

Whew!! Katee!! I have not read the wicked villains series yet but I will for sure be moving it up the TBR after this!

After another day at work modeling while working with her husband/agent, Everly heads home for what should be a normal quiet evening, or at least until it’s not.  Her whole world is thrown upside down when she’s abducted from her home and held captive for two years in a cell.  And then, Isaac shows up. Only, Isaac knows who Everly is immediately, as he is an ex-detective who had looked into her case years ago when he was working to try to solve his sisters missing person case and began to link together other unsolved missing persons cases. 

Will they make it out, alive? And if they do, what will happen to them?

Graham and Quinn decide to start “fake dating” for an upcoming wedding where Graham wants to make his ex-girlfriend nervous. Plus, Quinn’s van that she lives in recently broke down and she now needs to find a place to stay, and it just so happens that Graham has an extra room that she can use!

I just LOVED watching these two fall in love with each other and grow together 🥺

⚾️ The Path to Loving Him 💙

5⭐️ 4🌶️

Gabby takes a quick trip to Almond Bay for a job interview thinking that she’ll be interviewed by Ryland, only he never shows up and she ends up meeting with someone else about the job. However, much to her surprise, she just so happens to run into him at the bar later…and well one thing lead to another….👀

Gabby ends up accepting the job, putting her and Ryland back in each others paths. From work, to small town run ins, oh, and he’s also her landlord.  No matter how much they want to deny their feelings, fate continuously pushes these two together time and time again. Ryland is also the main caregiver of his niece, Mac, and she also takes a fond liking to Gabby very early on. 

“I just want you to be happy, taken care of . . . protected.”

These two, I’m obsessed, I can’t. I seriously love all of the Almond Bay world so much. 

Thank you so much to Meghan & team for the arc!!

Ridley is a true crime podcaster who decides to head out to Shady Grove for her next bit of cold case research. At least, that’s her plan until she immediately has a run in with Colt, the grumpy town sheriff, and they do not get off to a good start. 

He soon realizes that Ridley is here specifically to investigate his sister’s disappearance from 10 years ago that he still hasn’t been able to solve which he goes into protective-brother mode and shuts Ridley out even more. Or, at least he tries to…until Ridley gets into some trouble at her camp site leaving her van uninhabitable for the foreseeable future.

“I don’t have a home.” “You’ve got one for now, Chaos.”

“You didn’t have to jump after me.” “Always going to jump after you.”

THANK YOU to NetGalley, Sourcebooks, and Catherine for the eARC!!
