Unraveling Secrets (Book cover image) Faith Copeland and Gregory "Greg" Mallory have a lot of history wrapped in heartbreak. This second chance romance may irk me a little here and there, but I didn't want to put it down. Despite why Faith ended their engagement five years earlier, I do admire her courage to change the trajectory of their story. 'I’d been her first, and until the day she’d left, I’d been the only man to have made love to her. It’d been intoxicating to take her, wherever, whenever, thinking, she has only ever been mine.' -- Greg Mallory I like that they talk about things, even the uncomfortable topics. It's not always timely, but they get there eventually. Their responses are honest and realistic. And the makeup 🍆🍑 is hot and worth it. They are hot, sweet, dirty, and fun together. There are setups for a couple of books in here. At least one of them gets told, and I look forward to it! I read along with the audio book. The narrators present a wonderful listening experience, I just wish it were duet narration. I adore Auri Alden's and Stephen Borne's performances.

(Book cover) Title: One S'more Time, Zaftig Ever After 1 Author: Jane Fox, USA Today bestselling author (Book review) >Stoking the Flames< Welcome back to publishing, Jane Fox! You've been missed. 💛💛 Whatever the reason for the hiatus, I love the longer format and more depth for the characters. The short stories of yore were wonderful, but this is even better. 😍 4.5 stars - Ellie White and Nate Campbell plus Cooper are so stinking cute! Ellie has some real emotional baggage, and I love how Nate not only sees it but proceeds with caution as he works to turn it around. -- Book quote 'In that moment, I was completely his—undone and unraveling beneath his touch, and God help me, I never wanted it to stop.' -- Ellie White Cooper, Nate's lovable pup, plays an important part, I think. He allows Ellie to show herself in small ways. Both of their smiles get brighter when he's around being his adorable self. Pets really are magic. ❤️🐶🩵 BTW - make sure you aren't hungry when you read this. Even now, all I can think about is a s'more cupcake. Until the next Zaftig match... 💋

THE COWBOY'S CHRISTMAS LIST, #HolidaysinHeartFalls bk 4, by #VivianArend, narrated by #TatianaSokolov 5🌟

Sweet & steamy in all the best ways!

(Book cover) Title: Cowboys Christmas List, Holidays in Heart Falls Author: Vivian Arend, New York Times bestselling author (Book review) Expectations and Goals Initially, Alex Thorne acted much like an elementary kid teasing the person he secretly likes, annoying Yvette Wright with frequency. I like how he realized his true feelings before he had to leave town for a stretch. Even more, I love what he does to win her over when he returns. His honesty, letting her know from Day 1 what his end goal is and making sure she knows that the pace of their relationship is set by her, made him that much more endearing. The one-of-a-kind advent calendar was awesome. I love the thought put into it and the list he crafted to keep him on track. From crazy / ugly Christmas sweaters to crotchety friends to family drama to found families and solid friendships, this is a wonderful book. The love and support of those around them is sweet and amazing. I mean, it's just another reason to fall in love with Heart Falls and its citizens. I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov who continues to deliver the quality that I've come to expect. 🎧💚🎧 Story: 5 stars Narration: 4.5 stars Listening Speed: 1.8x

Prowling Their Mate, #PerfectPair bk 1, by #TamsinBaker, #AmeliaShaw, narrated by #OliviaWright 3.5🌟

Even though I'm not a fan of some things w the MCs, I enjoyed it.

www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

🌶📚💙 #booksky #books #smutsky #indieauthor #audiobook #bookreview #romancewithheat
(Book cover) Title: Prowling Their Mate, Perfect Pair book 1 Author: Amelia Shaw, Tamsin Baker Narrated by: Olivia Wright A woman with long blonde hair is between two dark-haired men. She's wearing pants and a short blue tank top with a darker blue floral print that shows her midriff. Both men are shirtless, wearing dark blue pants with a belt. They are in the woods and back lit with a bright blue light that gives them an ethereal quality. (Book review) An Imperfect Perfect Pair I like Laura Carver and her skepticism about the two brothers, Tyler and Brandon, that she's falling for, and I can't fault her for thinking they aren't altruistic in their desires. They are considered a "perfect pair," and she doesn't feel that she can match up against their past conquests. These are feelings many can relate to, including me. 'She was nothing like the woman I had expected, let alone what I normally was attracted to. Physically, she wasn’t thin or dressed to impress, and I could see the keen intelligence in her eyes. She wouldn’t be easy to talk around to my way of things. Not at all.' -- Brandon I didn't always like the guys, and Laura wasn't perfect, but I did like the book. Her sister is a bit much and a bit typical for her age. I really like the setup for the next book. It looks really good. I read along with the audio book. The narrator, Olivia Wright, is new to me, and I liked her. Story: 3.5 stars Narration: 3.5 stars Listening Speed: 1.8x H1-2 = 32; h = 27

When I wrote Love & Lust, I wanted to capture those moments when desire collides with choice — when the heart races, the rules blur, and every decision feels like it could change everything.

(Book review 1/2) Unpacking Baggage Evan (Zee, EZ) Zanders and Stevie (Vee) Shay are more alike than either realizes. Watching them as recognition dawns on them as they get to know each other is part of what makes this such an enjoyable read. Of course, the other part is the heat that radiates between them before the plane ever takes off. Purple friends and imagination have nothing on the real thing. 🥵🌶🔥 Indy: “Please fuck him,” Indy begs when it’s only the two of us in the galley again. Stevie: “What?” Indy: “Please, please, please fuck him and then tell me every little detail.” Stevie: “I am not sleeping with him.” Indy: “Why the hell not?” Stevie: My brows furrow. “Because we work for him. Because he’s in love with himself, and because I’m pretty sure he has sex with just about anything that has a vagina, and I doubt he knows their name when he screws them.” (Book review 2/2) Stevie may not be wrong about Zee and his... interactions, yeah, let's call them that, with the ladies, but boy oh boy, is it fun to watch them slip past those flaws and move into something more. I like that we see his insecurities as equally as we see hers, and I love how they rally for each other. I like that they are neither V's nor saints. They have healthy-ish appetites for bedroom gymnastics and make no apologies about it. Even more, I love Stevie's purple travel companion. 😂🥵🍆🔥 I do want to take a moment to mention that his agent, Rich, is slimy and scummy and should get a beat down for his 💩. That said, you know what they say Karma is, and she's coming for him. I borrowed the audio book. The narrators are Winston James and Mari. Both are new to me. They do a great job of conveying the sass and machismo from these two, as well as their respective vulnerabilities.

(Book cover) Rose Richards Autumn Bridesmaid Age Gap love A forbidden forced-proximity, first-time short story There's a young woman who could pass for a bride as easily as she could for a bridesmaid in a pale colored dress holding a bouquet of white roses. She has long brown hair in soft waves and a wreath atop her head. The blurred background appears to be an orchard. (Book review) Garden of Sin It's over-the-top. It's total insta-lust / love. It has a big age gap. They opt for a semi-private location. In a nutshell, it's for me. This is my first Rose Richards book and won't be my last. 'This is exactly the type of guy I used to daydream about taking my virginity. A handsome, older guy who could teach me all about pleasure…' -- Ashley Ashley and Sean are victims, for lack of a better dramatic word, of a forced proximity situation. I give credit to Ashley for putting herself out there and not taking no for a final answer. It may be slightly manipulative how she gets her man, but I do applaud her efforts. This can easily be read as a standalone. H = 42; h = 20?

(Book review) Stubbornness and a Stalker Ryan "Hutch" Hutchins and Dr. Ava Greely have been dancing around each other for YEARS. When they first crossed from friends to lovers, I knew what was coming, but it still threw me for a loop. We fast forward and get to see them rekindle those feelings, good and bad. Even when they're being incredibly stubborn, I loved them and their story. I've enjoyed every story in this series, but this might be my favorite. 'I’m just Ava, same flavor every day of the week. No way will I possibly be enough for him." -- Dr. Ava Greely There's a stalker and serial killer on the loose that does lead to more questions than answers. With someone close to Hutch being in the crosshairs, it amps up the tension. It's well-written and very realistic. Not all endings are happy ones, but Ava and Hutch get theirs. Prior reading isn't necessary, but I personally recommend it if you can. There is a small crossover from Penny Creek (Falling Hard series) that I can't wait to see play out. H & h = late 20s / early 30s Book quote from LOVE ME FEARLESS: I told him just dinner, but it's clear that plan has long been abandoned. I want this man. All of him. For a long as I can have him. My heart will just have to shelter in place.

(Book cover) Title: Shoot Your Shot Author: Hannah Gray A man poses in front of a dark blue background. He has short dark brown hair, blue eyes, and facial scruff. He's wearing a dark tank top and a gold pendant. He's muscular and has several tattoos. (Book review) No One Else 4.5 stars - I am enamored with this quasi ripped from the headlines book! Kolt Kolburne and his estranged wife, Paige "Buttercup" Hendrix Kolburne, are the couple I've been waiting for since learning they split. What brings them back together is something that Damar Hamlin may appreciate. Even if he doesn't, I do. 😍 'Paige makes her way toward me. Even in this shitty situation, when I look at her, it brings me peace, just like the first time I saw her and every time since then.' -- Kolt Kolburne I like that we don't have to wait long before knowing why he did what he did to push her away, something I suspected based on how he was in the other books leading up to this. It's sad, for certain, but I just wanted to shake some sense into him. As much as I hate the pain and suffering, I love that they take one step forward, two back before finally finding some semblance of a path moving forward-ish. It's not an easily traveled road, which makes it all the sweeter when they FINALLY lay those cards down. Another thing I love are the relationships with his teammates, their families, and her family. It's unsurprising that Amy steals a few scenes. 😁 His living family isn't bad, but they have a lot of healing to do that we haven't seen (yet?). No prior reading is required, but you may enjoy this more if you do. And the setup for the next few books? Oh, yeah! 💜 H = 28; h = 27

Book cover Title: For the Love of Us, Fighting to Keep Our Love Alive Author: Kaylee Rose A man and woman lay in bed with the woman on top of the man, their noses touching. (book review) Best Laid Plans The premise drew me in, appealing to me in several ways. (Yes, I actually read the blurb.) Callie and Brad Thompson have been married for more than twenty years and have raised their kids. As empty nesters, the question of what comes next for them lingers. This may not be me yet, but my days are numbered, so I had to read this. For research purposes, of course! 'I haven’t shared my feelings with Brad. His job is stressful, and I don’t want to add to it.' -- Callie Thompson I love Callie's plans and mishaps. Her heart is in the right place, even when it seems like the universe is conspiring against her. Brad's initial reaction is... something. I love how they balance each other and really start to open up about everything. I found it to be a heartwarming, funny, and delightful read. I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator, Vera Lynn Floyd, did a good job narrating this funny, sometimes chaotic, and steamy book. Story: 4 stars Narration: 3.5 stars Listening Speed: 1.8x

With Love & Lust, I wanted to write stories that reflect that truth — that love can be complicated, but it’s always worth the risk. For me, romance is about hope, desire, and the courage to feel.
