This is another fun instalove short story set in the small town of Willowbrook Ridge. This book is the start of a new set of standalone stories and is about Hudson (the town’s Mountain Rescue manager) & Jasmine (from the rangers’ office). Jasmine's boss Jade is from Tempted by the Mountain Man and her story is on my TBR List. I look forward to reading about the other members of the Mountain Rescue Team as the series continues.

 Tasseloris (AKA Tass) and Elyssa were a great couple that I enjoyed getting to know in this book & I LOVED Nelly. It was nice getting to see a bit more of Solear and Brace in this story as side characters as well and I look forward to getting to know more members of the Varakartoom as the series continues and seeing who the next book Saved by the Alien Mercenary will be about.

I really enjoyed reading about Sylvie & Thorn in this story and LOVED Thorn's pet Cerberus named Bront (although Sylvie nicknames him Fluffy for a while). Bront's instant bond with Sylvie was cute and Thorn's reaction to it was amusing. I thought this was a fun story and am also adding Mated to the Swamp Monster to my TBR list since I missed it previously and it is about Thorn's nephew Marsh and how him and Rorie got together. I look forward to reading many more books by this author in the future since I have enjoyed every one that I have read so far.

This was my first book by Anastasia Hayward and I thought it was an interesting non magical Retelling of Snow White. This book is a historical romance retelling and I enjoyed getting to know all the characters and their interactions including Sophia's interactions with Dr. Faine Knight's three children. I look forward to getting to read more about Faine's brother Dylan in the next book in this series Thy Golden Stair and getting to read his story.

I enjoyed this instalove holiday romance set around St. Patrick’s Day set in the small town of Willowbrook Ridge. Fergus & Sadie were a fun couple to get to know and I look forward to reading more books set in this small town in the future.

This was a really good time travel Sirimione (Sirius Black & Hermione Granger) fanfiction and I really liked Regulus in this story. All the Marauders were fun to get to know in this story and the epilogue was cute.
