Sara Goodman Confino writes some of the absolute best books! This story just sucks you in and you feel a part of it. Behind Every Good Man has so many good one-liners and also life lessons. I found myself rooting so hard for Beverly, and I also loved her mother! Definitely did not want this one to end but I loved how it all wrapped up.

I loved this book!! The story is so entertaining, and I truly hope we get more books in this series set in Boneyard Key. I absolutely loved the small coastal town of Florida setting. There are lots of Easter egg Floridian moments which I connected to.
While the romance does take a bit of a backseat in this book, I still thoroughly enjoyed the story and didn't want to stop reading. There's some mysterious elements surrounding the ghosts and the town and I enjoyed trying to figure it all out.
Highly recommend this one!!

I have been waiting for a book about Hayes since his Carolina Comet days and Teagan Hunter delivered!!!! I absolutely loved everything about this book! Hayes and Quinn are new favorites for sure.
Hayes becomes the guardian to his 7 year old niece and Quinn becomes his live-in nanny. It's the perfect setup- plus we get hockey, banter, steam, and hilarious texts on page between Hayes and his Seattle Serpents teammates.

Thank you ValentinePR for my advanced copy.

I was so excited for this sequel to The Prince and the Apocalypse and it absolutely delivered! Just a few chapters in and I was hooked and could not put it down. It's just one thing after the next for Wren and Theo! Speaking of Theo, I just love him!!! I'm also really glad Theo's siblings and Wren's sister and best friend were featured in this book.
This book seriously has everything- romance, adventure, twists and turns. It's a must read, after The Prince and the Apocalypse of course!
