IceBreaker by Hannah Grace
It was a smooth read, Nate was fun and so sweet, I love him, I love Henry, Russ and JJ a little more though. Anastasia was meh. I don't know if I can find words for her. She wasn't my favorite FMC but actually not my least favorite either. I get that Aaron had to royally mess up for her to fully click that he was not a good person in the least. Narsasist can act nice sometimes, doesn't make them nice people.

Caught by Jack Frost by Taylor Wolfe is a short, four-chapter story that leans heavily on its steamy scenes to drive the narrative. The premise—a man helping a cursed "snowman" break a spell—is certainly unique and intriguing. However, the brevity of the story leaves little room for character development or plot depth.

If you're looking for a bite-sized, heat-focused MM fantasy romance, this might be worth a try, but don’t expect much beyond the surface.

4-Star Review: Worth the Test by Jennifer J. Williams

Jennifer J. Williams delivers an endearing romance in Worth the Test, blending opposites-attract chemistry with heartfelt emotional depth. Alex, the calm and stoic single dad, is the perfect foil to Natalie, a fierce and unapologetically bold fourth-grade teacher who doesn’t take nonsense from anyone. Their dynamic is utterly adorable, especially as Natalie navigates the delicate balance of being Alex’s sister’s best friend and falling for him anyway.

The story is engaging and lighthearted in the beginning, with plenty of banter and swoon-worthy moments. But the last four chapters hit an emotional crescendo—they’re raw, poignant, and yes, they made me cry. While the tears weren’t guaranteed throughout, the emotional payoff was worth it.

"Why Don't You Make Me" by Rae Knight is an intense, gripping ride from start to finish! Thorne, Ryder, and Blaze are complex, darkly alluring characters with a bond forged through trauma, and their relentless bullying of Tori—the fierce, sarcastic orphan with a tough past—adds layers of tension and intrigue. The chemistry, forbidden dynamics, and raw emotion between them kept me hooked throughout the story.

The plot was exciting, with twists and secrets that had me turning pages late into the night. Tori’s resilience and sharp wit make her a standout heroine, and the boys’ battle for control and restraint created a fascinating push-and-pull dynamic.

I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to see what happens next in book two as the Iron Triad faces off against the Niners. This is a must-read for fans of edgy romance with strong characters and an addictive storyline!

"Icing on the Cake" by Christopher J. Brice was an absolutely adorable grumpy/sunshine romance featuring a sarcastic librarian and a charming hockey player. The banter, witty sarcasm, and delightfully dirty innuendos had me laughing throughout. Gerard was the perfect golden retriever—persistent, sweet, and totally swoon-worthy in his pursuit of Elliot, the ultimate grumpy cat.
The team dynamics added extra fun to the story, bringing even more humor and heart. It’s a fun, feel-good romance that delivers plenty of laughs and swoony moments!

Monster Pucker by Clio Evans and Ashley Bennett delivers exactly what it promises—a MMF, fated mates, monster hockey romance that’s packed with heat and action. The chemistry between Flurry and Klaus is absolutely adorable, and when they find Holly, things ignite in the best way possible.
The story moves at a lightning-fast pace, making it a quick and steamy read. If you’re looking for a fast, spicy, and unique romance with monster athletes, this one is definitely worth picking up!
