Willow Aster has once again delivered a heartwarming and captivating tale with Secret Love, the second installment in the Single Dad Playbook series. As a fan of the first book, Mad Love, I was eager to dive into this new adventure, and I'm happy to say that it did not disappoint.
While Secret Love can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading Mad Love first for a more fulfilling experience. The characters from the previous book make appearances and contribute significantly to the overall story and feel of the book.
Henley is a charming and dedicated single dad and his love for his three daughters is evident, and his co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife is a refreshing example of mature and respectful communication.
Tru, a newcomer to Silver Hills, brings a breath of fresh air to the story. As a substitute teacher and dance instructor, she is trying to make roots in this small town. I love the first interaction we get between these two. I could feel their chemistry from their first interaction. Things get complicated and Tru tries to keep Henley at arms length. There are a lot of obstacles to overcome for these two and I love the growth their relationship made throughout the book. These two are perfect for each other.
I love the found family troupe and that is so evident in this book. I love how much the guys are there for each other and the small town community vibes this book has.
Overall, Secret Love is a well-written and enjoyable read. Willow Aster has a knack for creating relatable characters and crafting engaging storylines. Whether you're a fan of romance, family dramas, or sports stories, this book is sure to capture your heart.

Chase Our Forever by Kat Singleton is the third and final book in the Sutten Mountain Series, and it's a total knockout. If you love a single dad and nanny love story, you're gonna be obsessed with this one.
The way Kat Singleton writes their connection is just chef's kiss. It's so real, so raw, and so damn believable. And their tragic pasts? Don't even get me started. The way they navigate their pain together is heartwarming and beautiful.
I'm a sucker for found family stories, and this one hits all the right notes. Dean's family and friends instantly welcomed Liv into their lives, making her feel like she belonged. The bond between Clara and Liv is just adorable.
Honestly, this book is one of my favorites of the year.

I recently finished Say It's Forever by A.L. Jackson, and I'm still buzzing from the ending! This is the second book in the Redemption Hills series, and it follows Salem and Jud as they navigate their complicated relationship.
From the moment Jud and Salem meet, it's clear they're meant to be together. Their chemistry is undeniable, and I loved watching their connection grow stronger with each interaction. Plus, Salem's daughter Juniper is absolutely adorable and adds a heartwarming element to their story.
Jud, the motorcycle-riding bad boy with a haunted past, is a complex and intriguing character. Salem, on the other hand, is trying to escape her own troubled past. Together, they face challenges and obstacles that test their love.
I was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns in the plot. The ending was unexpected. Joe Arden and Andi Arndt did an incredible job voicing the characters. Their performances brought Salem and Jud to life and made their story even more engaging.
If you're looking for a captivating romance with complex characters and a satisfying ending, Say It's Forever is definitely worth checking out.

So, I just finished Give Me a Reason, the first book in the Redemption Hills series, and I'm totally hooked! Trent and Eden's chemistry is off the charts. She's a ray of sunshine, and he's got a tough exterior but a heart of gold. The Lawson brothers are a tight-knit bunch, and it's heartwarming to see how much they have each other's backs.
The narrators, Connor Crais and Desiree Ketchum, did an amazing job bringing the characters to life. You can really feel the emotions in their voices. I'm definitely looking forward to more books in this series!
What to expect from this book:
*single dad
* enemies to lovers

Maggie Rawdon's Bull Rush is a standalone set in the world of her popular Queen City Series. While it can be enjoyed independently, readers familiar with the series, particularly Mine to Gain, will appreciate the added depth and context given to Ramsey's character.
This dark western romance focuses on Ramsey, a man haunted by his past. His story is filled with twists and turns, keeping readers engaged from beginning to end. The divorce-of-convenience trope, a new experience for me, was executed brilliantly and added a unique dynamic to the story. It also focuses on Hazel who is the a bold, strong, and independent ex-wife of Ramsey.
Ramsey and Hazel are well-developed and I enjoyed their growth throughout the story. The plot is filled with twists and turns, that had me captivated and engaged in the story. Hazel and Ramsey had great banter as well as emotionally heartwarming moments. These two had a deep connection and trust in one another that really made them perfect for each other. Their love story had so many layers and I loved how each layer got peeled back and the reader go a peak into the push and pull of their love story.
If you enjoy dark western romances, hate-to-love relationships, small-town settings, and second-chance love, Bull Rush is a must-read. Maggie Rawdon's storytelling skills shine in this book. I can't wait for more!
I am so lucky to have received this book as an ARC. Thank you Maggie Rawdon and Wordsmith Publicity for the ARC. I voluntarily read it and gave an honest review.

Formula 1 racing meets forbidden romance in this fast-paced novel by Amanda Weaver. The author skillfully weaves together high-stakes racing, intense passion, and a captivating redemption arc.
At the heart of the story is Will Hawley, a charismatic yet troubled Formula 1 driver with a history of scandalous behavior. His encounter with Miranda (Mira) Wentworth, the daughter of his team's leader, sparks an unexpected and forbidden romance. As their relationship intensifies, the pressure from the public and the team threatens to tear them apart.
Will's redemption arc is particularly compelling, as he grapples with his past mistakes and strives to become a better man. Mira is a strong and independent character who adds to the story.
The author's vivid descriptions of the Formula 1 racing scenes bring the sport to life, immersing readers in the excitement and intensity of the races. The fast-paced narrative keeps the reader engaged and eager to see how the story will unfold.
While the instant love between Will and Mira felt a bit rushed, I did feel their push and pull and felt their connection.
The third-person narration might have benefited from a dual POV in the first person. This would have provided a deeper insight into the thoughts and feelings of both Will and Mira, making their connection more relatable.
The audiobook narration by Samantha Summers and Zac Smith is commendable. Their performances effectively capture the characters' personalities and emotions, bringing them to life. I did have to listen at a little slower speed (1.75x) than I usually do (2x). None of this is a deal breaker and still a good listen.
Overall, this novel is a thrilling and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of formula 1 racing or sports romance fans.
