Thank you to Chloe Walsh, Bloom, Raincoast, and NetGalley for the copy of the Bloom re-release of Binding 13, the first book in the Boys of Tommen series.

I have been meaning to read this book for what feels like forever. I know fans more than just love this book but live and breathe it. I have always been intimidated by the length, I still am not fully sold that this book needed to be this long. What I am sold on is that I love Shannon and Johnny, and want the world for them both.

Thank you to Giana Darling and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of Caution to the Wind, the seventh book in The Fallen Men series.

After waiting for this book for quite a while, I am so happy to say that Giana is back and better than ever. This book is top-tier and has so many elements of Giana at her best. My review is glowing because honestly, this book was just phenomenal and I never want to go almost three years without a Fallen Men book again!

Thank you to Melanie Harlow and her team for the advance reader copy of Make-Believe Match, the third story in the Cherry Tree Harbor series.

Did I just about drop everything I was doing when this ARC hit my Kindle? Yes, I did! Melanie Harlow returns to her latest world of Cherry Tree Harbour, with a marriage of convenience, forced proximity, a fake relationship, enemies-to-lovers, and a one-night stand. This book had everything and more!

I am a Melanie Harlow review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews.

Thank you to Katee Robert, Berkley, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Hunt on Dark Waters.

I have been excited about this since Katee first started talking about it online. This book has it all pirates, witches, and vampires. This very much felt like Dungeons and Dragons fanfiction in the best way possible, as it paid homage to classes like paladin along with throwing in the traditional fantastical creatures we all love!

Thank you to Lauren Asher, Bloom Books, and Raincoast for the advance reader copy of Love Redesigned, the first story in the Lakefront Billionaires series.

I was super intrigued to dive into a new series from Lauren Asher. Once I had the ARC in my hands I was worried about the length. but I am here to tell you don’t dismay! Lauren Asher is so damn good at writing a quick, compelling yet chunky book.
