A Fool’s Game by Lore Townsand:
Wow! What an unforgettable journey. A Fool’s Game completely swept me away with the lives of Ainsley, Gemma, and Taylor — and I’m still not over it.
Ainsley’s heart is pure gold, always ready to help the people he loves, even as he learns that it’s okay to not have every step of life mapped out. Gemma’s connection to her tarot cards was such a beautiful way to show her search for clarity and comfort in the chaos. And Taylor? Taylor thought he had it all figured out until life knocked him sideways and made him realize what — and who — truly feels like home.
Together, these three took me on an emotional rollercoaster that left me crying through both the heartbreak and the joy. Lore Townsand has a gift for making you feel every single moment, and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough (even if I had to wipe away tears to do it).
If you love stories full of heart, healing, and characters who feel like real people you’d want to know, A Fool’s Game is an absolute must-read.

Absolutely loved this fast-paced, sweet hockey romance! Who falls first? Honestly—both of them, and it’s adorable to watch unfold.
Gabe, the clueless but lovable new dad, is suddenly responsible for his precious baby girl and has no idea what he’s doing. Enter Cassie, his teammate’s sister, who swoops in to help—and instantly falls for the baby (and maybe Gabe too).
Cassie’s sweet and sassy personality pairs perfectly with Gabe’s endearing struggles, and even with a few small tensions and misunderstandings along the way, their story is heartwarming and fun from start to finish.
This novella has the perfect mix of romance, humor, and baby snuggles. It’s a quick, feel-good read that any romance lover could enjoy. Highly recommend!

Fletcher’s Plan is a quick and entertaining thriller with a solid premise. The pacing keeps things moving, making it an easy read, but the predictability takes away some of the suspense. While the story is engaging, it doesn't offer many surprises, and the twists are fairly easy to see coming.

Hate That Blooms" by Izzy Ravas was an emotional journey that hit close to home. As the eldest sibling who had to step into a motherly role, I deeply related to Gabriela—her exhaustion, loneliness, and resilience felt so real. I admired how she navigated loss, bullying, and the weight of responsibility with quiet strength.
Joaquin, on the other hand, gave me mixed feelings. I understood his pain, but the way he handled it at times was frustrating—especially how he ignored the red flags in his inner circle. That said, his growth was worth the wait. By the end, he truly became the "king" Gabriela and her sister deserved.
Overall, this book had its ups and downs, but the character development and emotional depth kept me hooked. A solid read for fans of step-sibling bully romances.

"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!

Oh my gosh, I absolutely loved this book! Bree Wiley has done it again with Pretty Broken Doll. Shilo, you beautiful boy, I absolutely adored him! I wanted to wrap him up in a giant hug and tell him he deserves all the love in the world. I was so happy he found such amazing friends in KC/Kansas, Carpenter, and Tina—they were all incredible and added so much heart to the story.
Ryann's growth throughout the book was fantastic. There were definitely moments I wanted to smack him over the head (in the most loving way possible), but I really enjoyed his character arc. Ryann and Shilo together? Absolute perfection! They make such an adorable couple, and I was so thrilled for their happy ending.
And can we talk about the mentions of Huckslee and Taylor from Finding Delaware? I legit squealed and kicked my feet—it was such a sweet touch for fans of Bree This book had everything: love, friendship, growth, and moments that made my heart absolutely melt. Bree Wiley has officially cemented her place on my auto-buy list!

"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!
