SYNOPSIS: 

He's her boss.  She's his greatest temptation.


The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed.


The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there.


When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder.


Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all.


Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking.


We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about.  He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described. Though she was also right when she’d said you two will hate each other.


When daylight rolled around, Dawson and I attempted to straighten out the mess we found ourselves in. But it proved to be more difficult than we initially thought. Since it was a holiday weekend, there wasn’t a single room available for more than fifty miles.


I suppose things could be worse than sharing a cabin for a weekend with a handsome man you despise.


Like maybe him winding up being your new boss?


SPOILER-FREE REVIEW OF INDISCRETION 

IndiscretionIndiscretion by Vi Keeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I finished Indiscretion by Vi Keeland a few weeks ago and can't stop thinking about this book. This heartfelt and hot romance had me hugging my Kindle by the final page.  Without a doubt, Indiscretion secured a top spot on my Best of 2025 favorites list, and it's only the beginning of the year!  

Dawson and Naomi's journey to their happily-ever-after is equally emotional and combustible--and Vi's signature witty banter adds that extra layer of addictive magic. I've been reading Vi's books for over a decade, and I'm always amazed by her ability to create fresh, unique love stories that still feel timeless. She has this way of making every couples' connection feel new and exciting, no matter how many books she's written.

Indiscretion is one of those books that stays with you long after you've finished. If you're a fan of heartfelt, fun, and spicy romances with unforgettable characters, Indiscretion is an absolute must-read! Thank you for another incredible book.

Visions of Darkness by A.L. Jackson Kindle Crack

Destined to be together, forbidden to love, two lost souls fight evil in an everyday world that belongs to the night. A dark romantasy by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.

Aria Rialta is a girl of two realities. One she was born to. The other she was chosen for. Both are a threat.


Every night when Aria falls asleep, she enters the nightmare world of Faydor to fight a war. It’s her calling to help destroy the Kruen, who feed sin and chaos to our everyday world of vulnerable humans. It would be a lonely realm in which to do battle if not for Pax, Aria’s dangerously irresistible soulmate whose mere touch can kill. It’s also a realm that’s getting harder to escape.


Aria’s hallucinations are seeping into her waking world. And the Kruen are coming for her. To help Aria, Pax must do what no one in Faydor has dared to do before—join his soulmate in the light of day. Giving in to their forbidden attraction could be the death of them, but they might not be able to stop themselves as they embark on a cross-country journey to fight the evils hunting them.


As their desire grows, so do Aria’s untapped powers, and a menacing new force far darker than the Kruen.

Spoiler-free Review

Visions of Darkness (Darkness, #1)Visions of Darkness by A.L. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Visions of Darkness by A.L. Jackson is her first romantasy/paranormal-related book. Pax and Aria are born to fight underworld goons with nefarious intentions. The two soul mates can see and hear the dark and dangerous thoughts and plans from the underworld beings while in a hellish landscape in their dreams.  The two are in a race to save Aria from the clutches of the most dangerous goon of all who will destroy her and her family.

This book was entertaining.  The story really picked up with a banger of an ending that had me screaming NOOOO when I hit the last page.  Ok, A.L. Jackson, you hooked me on this world of Aria and Pax.  More, please. 

What to expect:
-Only one bed
-Forbidden romance
-Morally gray hero
-Fated mates
-Touch her and d_e

It turns out he gives as good as he gets.

Spoiler-free Review of From Air by Jewel E. Ann 

From Air (Wildfire #1)From Air by Jewel E. Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From Air by Jewel E. Ann (Wildfire #1) ignited my heart from the very first page. Jamie, a traveling psych nurse, finds herself falling for Fitz, her super grumpy firefighter roommate and a smokejumper in Montana. Fitz has built an emotional fireproof barrier around his heart, convinced that he's unworthy of love and incapable of a real relationship. His painful past doesn't allow him to think about his future. 

Jamie is determined to get in Fritz's head in order to crack his heart. Healing someone as broken and guarded as Fitz proves to be no easy task. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their connection blazes into something unforgettable. Together, they're on a collision course—burning down each other's defenses and risking everything for a hard-earned happily ever after.

This story is raw, emotional, and addictive. Jewel E. Ann delivers another unforgettable romance that will leave your heart ablaze.  I can't wait to read more books in this new series of standalones.

Variation by Rebecca Yarros Review on Kindle Crack

Synopsis:

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing comes a new contemporary romance about the summer a celebrated dancer returns home and unearths years of family secrets and deep regrets with the Coast Guard rescue swimmer she never forgot.


Elite ballerina Allie Rousseau is no stranger to pressure. With her mother’s eyes always watching, perfection was expected, no matter the cost. But when an injury jeopardizes all she’s sacrificed for, Allie returns to her summer home to heal and recover. But the memories she’s tried to forget rush in and threaten to take her under.

As a Coast Guard rescue swimmer, Hudson Ellis knows that hesitation can mean the difference between life and death. He’s always prided himself on being in the right place at the right time, especially when it came to Allie Rousseau…until the night he left for basic. After the biggest regret of his life, the secrets he keeps mean he can never be with the one woman he wants more than his next breath.

When Hudson’s niece shows up on Allie’s doorstep, desperate to find her birth mother, Allie finds herself in an unimaginable position. Allie and Hudson’s past and present might be endlessly complicated. The thread that tied them to each other all those years ago may have unraveled, but the truth could pull them back together, or drive them apart forever.

Spoiler-free Review of Variation by Rebecca Yarros



VariationVariation by Rebecca Yarros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Variation by Rebecca Yarros takes readers deep into the intense, high-stakes underbelly of the ballet world, where the Rousseau sisters reign as the rock stars of the stage. Together with their mother, they've taken the ballet world by storm, but behind the elegance and grace lies a tangled web of secrets, lies, and heartbreak. Much like the pointe shoes they wear, these secrets are bound tightly, threatening to unravel at the seams.

At the center of it all is Allie Rousseau, who has grown cold and closed off after having her heart shattered by Hudson Ellis many summers ago. A twist of fate brings them back into each other's orbit, setting the stage for a beautifully dysfunctional tale of love, lies, and healing. Rebecca Yarros expertly weaves a story that is as emotionally raw as captivating.

Hudson is filled with regret for his past choices, and the tension between him and Allie is palpable. Variation is a second-chance romance that delivers the perfect balance of drama, unexpected twists, and a touch of spice. Rebecca paints a vivid picture of love, loss, and redemption, proving that even in a world filled with blood, sweat, and tears, second chances can lead to something truly beautiful. One-click worthy!

Synopsis:

A Small Town, Marriage of Convenience, Forced Proximity, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Sometimes relationships come along that define you.

Someone who brings out sides of you that no one else sees.

The reason that you try to be the best version of yourself.

Savannah Abbott was my North Star growing up.

She was my best friend, my neighbor, and the person who knew me best.

But without warning, she was gone in the blink of an eye.

My life began unraveling the day she left Magnolia Falls.

Because apparently, when you lose the best thing in your life, it’s all downhill from there.

But I’m a survivor— and I forced myself to move on.

My guard went up, and my ability to trust people disappeared.

Until the day Savannah came back to town—more than a decade later.

And now she’s acting like I’m the enemy.

She wants nothing to do with me, even all these years later.

Until she needs a favor.

A temporary husband.

I may not be the marrying type, but for Savannah, I’m willing to bend the rules.

None of this is real, and she reminds me of that every day while we’re playing house.

I may fight fires for a living, but my new wife is a flame that I don’t want to extinguish.

She’s the fire that’s been missing all along.

Finding Hayes (Magnolia Falls #5)Finding Hayes by Laura Pavlov
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Finding Hayes by Laura Pavlov is pure gold for small-town romance lovers. Laura Pavlov, please never stop writing! I can't get enough of the charming worlds and unforgettable characters she creates. Whenever I dive into her stories, I feel like packing my bags and moving to one of her hot and sweet small towns (if only that were possible!). 

Hayes, a swoon-worthy firefighter, and Savanna, an interior designer, find themselves in a heartwarming, slow-burn romance wrapped in a marriage of convenience. This story tugged at my heartstrings in the best way possible. I can't say enough good things about this series—it's one of my favorites. Laura's books are the peas to my carrots (you'll get that reference once you devour this book!).

Title: Love Harder

A Memoir

Author: Monica James

Genre: Creative Non-Fiction

Release Date: October 23, 2024


Synopsis:


LOVE.
O
V
E

Once upon a time, I looked at love through rose-tinted glasses because love is meant to conquer all, right?


However, was I just a hopeless romantic at heart, chasing the proverbial happily ever after?


Being a romance author, one may think I know what I’m doing when it comes to love. But I hate to spoil the ending for you, dear reader; love and me, we aren’t friends. And we haven’t been for quite some time.


That’s not because I don’t believe in love.


On the contrary.


And that’s the reason we are here…again.


We all have that one person.


For me, he caught me unaware, and that’s when life usually screams KEEP UP!


And most times, we can’t.


If you’ve read Love Hard, then you know how love and I were no longer on speaking terms. But I wrote something which was a sign from the heavens. Or perhaps, hell…


I’ve learned that good men are like unicorns. Everyone talks about them, but no one actually sees them.


How I’m eating my words because I’ve found my unicorn. But does that mean I’ve finally learned my lessons in love? Is your beloved narrator about to get her HEA after all?


Buckle up, bestie, things are about to get wild.


Love hits you when you least expect it…and we are never ready for the fall.

Review of Love Harder

Love HarderLove Harder by Monica James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿฆ„ Love Harder by Monica James drops tomorrow, and let me tell you—this one’s special. I’m not just saying that because I was with Monica when she met one of the characters (or should I say boyfriends), she wrote about in the sequel to Love Hard. Yep, that weekend was one for the books—literally! I can’t wait for you to experience it.
This story is based on Monica’s real life, and if you check out the hot book cover, you will see Monica and her boyfriend in front and center. How cool is that? Just a heads-up—you’ve got to read Love Hard first to fully appreciate the roller coaster of raw emotion that Love Harder will take you on. Fun fact: Monica has amazing feet (and you’ll get what I mean when you dive into Love Hard). Buckle up and prepare yourself for a wild, emotional ride. That’s all I’m saying!
