Thank you to Sophie Lark and Bloom Books via NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Brutal Prince, the traditional re-release of the first book in the Brutal Birthright series.
This author and this series have been on my TBR for as long as I can remember. I do not really read mafia romance as much as I should, but after reading Brutal PrinceI need to clear out a week of my life to binge the rest of the series. This is the perfect mafia book, with two warring families and a deliciously hot arranged marriage.

Thank you to Emily McIntire, Bloom Books, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Crossed, the fifth standalone in the Never After series.
Crossed is not for the faint of heart, but if you have gotten this far with Emily McIntire’s steamy fractured fairytales then you know what to expect – something dark and twisted. Father Cade has a sinister streak and Amaya is the perfect Esmeralda-esque character, so when their paths cross you get a deliciously dark story.

Thank you to Elle Kennedy, St. Martin’s Press, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of The Summer Girl, the third story in the Avalon Bay series.
Avalon Bay is the perfect summer read! What a bittersweet goodbye to this sweet summer series. But now no matter if you are on a beach or by a lake or in a lush field The Summer Girl and the previous Avalon Bay books are your perfect summer binge-read.

Thank you to Katee Robert, Sourcebooks Casablanca, Raincoast, and for the advance reader copy of Cruel Seduction, the fifth book in the Dark Olympus series.
Has this been my most anticipated instalment since Katee announced all the pairings? Yes, yes it was. Did it deliver? Oh yes, yes it did. The idea of managing four characters and their interlocking relationships as friends and lovers – only Katee could manage something like this!
I am a Katee Robert review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews.

Thank you to Elsie Silver, Bloom, NetGalley, and Raincoast for the Bloom re-release edition of Reckless.
We have reached the moment of my Chestnut Springs re-read that I have been waiting for! I was so excited to revisit the instalment that was my favourite the first time through. Of course, it remains so on my second, in which I just let myself read this in one sitting on Sunday morning and it is just so damn perfect.

Thank you to Sara Cate and the team at the Author Agency for the advance reader copy of The Anti-Hero, the first book in the Goode Brothers series.
I adore the Salacious Players Club, so when Sara began to tease a new series I couldn’t help but get excited for it. The Anti-Hero plays upon many religious themes, so it is definitely a recommended read for Sierra Simone’s Priest series fans. But don’t worry SPC fans, there is a sex club in this too and so many incredible signature Sara Cate kinky scenes.

Thank you to Devney Perry and her team for the advance reader copy of The Dandelion Diary: A Mason Jar Novella.
The Maysen Jar novels are still two of my favourite works from Devney’s backlist. When I found out she was returning to that world I was ready to be emotionally wrecked again. I am here to report The Dandelion Diary is heartwarming and will be enjoyed by all, even if you have never experienced the joy of reading a Devney Perry story.
