Kayla does it again! I’ve read/listened to Trick Shot and I’m looking forward to slipping the others in between heavier reads (all puns intended). But I really think Alex and Elijah aka Dirty Girl and Mr. Serious are my current faves from Kayla. Thank you again for this lovely arc surprise!📚
.
When Alex’s dad doesn’t talk to her mother about the lake house both Alex and Elijah end up there at the same time and instant hilarity ensues. I’d tell you more…but spoilers. Let me just tell you there is an equal amount of spice and plot in their story. 📚
.
Definitely grab this one on 6/4/24 if you like: forced proximity, age gab, father’s best friend, girls with curves, breading kink, dirty talk, role play, insta love and more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This novella was absolutely fantastic. We follow The High Seer’s nameless spy on his mission to learn all he can to turn the tides of impending war. What he uncovers will change him forever. I didn’t know what to expect from this novella, but I got so much from it. Truly it added so much to already rich world building. I hope we see more of him as the series continues. My thanks to book sirens for the opportunity to read this arc.

This audiobook was absolutely amazing! I was never a huge fan of the legend of King Arthur. But WOW this audiobook changed that for sure. There is so much going on in this story it’s hard to talk about without spoiling.

I was so floored when I got the email from The Author Agency yesterday telling me an ARC of A Major Puck Up was sent to me kindle. Honestly I didn’t think I had a chance at all. Yet here I am finished with it and ready to hush about this book. So thank you for the ARC! 📚
.
Brittanée Nicole has done it again…made me fall for ANOTHER Langfield. But I fear she’s made me fall for Gavin the hardest. I am so far gone for this world she has created it isn’t even funny. I’m going to make this a spoiler free as I can. I have to say it’s been a LONG time since I finished a book in one day. However, A Major Puck Up made me keep picking it up every chance I got yesterday. We’re talking I needed to change to my phone because I drained my Kindle  change. Ooops. 📚
.
Right from the beginning Brittanée jumps right into Gavin’s story with some very nice public-ish spice. And boy was I here for it. Then things were pretty sweet and solid…but plot twist and with it my heart. Never fear folks because then were introduced to single and suffering new Dad, Gavin, and his devotion to this little bundle is THE  BEST™️ Yet Brittanée isn’t done. Nope gotta twist my poor heart a few more times before we hit the end of the book where I nearly launch my phone out of the house and into the foundation of the house being built across the street! Brittanée Nicole you certainly know what cliffhangers will leave readers coming back for more. So is it September 20th yet? All that is to say if you like the following tropes (and adore the Langfield men): age gap, single dad, forbidden romance, forced proximity and dads best friend A Major Puck Up is for you! Plus you may see some great cameos from past Langfield books you won’t want to miss…trust me. 📚
