“You’re the only girl in the entire world that’s forbidden and fuck me if that doesn’t make me want you more than anything.”
This story follows Greta, who one day discovers that her stepbrother, Alec, will be coming to live with them for a little while. Little does she know, he’ll bring more trouble than good. Temptation gets the best of them, but then, one day, Alec up and leaves. Seven years later, they’re brought back together—but time has passed, and things have changed. Can they find their way back to each other?
Once again, Penelope Ward delivers another hit. I highly recommend the audiobook if you decide to pick this up—the narrators brought these characters to life so well.
As for the story, it’s more character-driven, but it’s thoroughly enjoyable. Greta, the FMC, is kind, compassionate, and so innocent, but I loved seeing her fiery side when she went head-to-head with Alec—it was delicious. Then there’s Alec, who’s been through a lot, struggling with his father and his emotions. I adored how Greta cared for him like no one else had and gave him hope in pursuing his dreams.
The emotions and intimate moments made me fall in love with these two characters. I especially love books with a time gap because the reunions feel so raw—it’s heartbreaking to think about all the time they’ve lost.
I really enjoyed this one and will honestly pick up anything Penelope writes!

This was a short read and exactly what I needed to fill some time before my next commitment. The story follows an ex-con who responds to his prison cellmate’s daughter’s letters and seeks her out after his release. It was a fun, fast-paced read and surprisingly enjoyable for something so brief. If you’re into Daddy kink, this might be a great to read as a short book to knock off your reading goal for the year.

“Look how wild you drive me Sunshine.”
This story follows Ariella, who, one night, is approached by a good-looking cowboy asking her to be his pretend date to deter his ex. Little did she know that taking on a new job as a strength and conditioning coach would bring her face-to-face with the star hockey player.
This book was such a feel-good, fun read! It’s more character-driven with a lighter plot, but the chemistry and banter were spot-on. The FMC was headstrong, which I loved, and she stood her ground in so many situations. I also appreciated the representation of culture and the focus on working in a field that can often be male-dominated.
Now onto Dalton—this man was everything! A snack, a gentleman, kind, delicious, and just fantastic. His character made me melt, and he treated her exactly how a woman deserves to be treated. These two were perfect together, and I’m so excited for the rest of the series. My fingers are crossed for the best friend and the single-dad coach as the next story?! Highly recommend picking up the audiobook for this one, was well done.

This is a short, spicy, and fun standalone novella. It follows Sage, who has a scholarship to Slater Hills for water polo and dreams of making it to the Olympics in a few years. Than comes along Fallon Harris, a four-time Olympic champion, who joins as the team’s new coach.
First off, pick up the audiobook—it was absolutely delicious and narrated in duet form. I usually struggle with short reads, but not this one! It was fast-paced yet had enough storyline and spice to make the journey enjoyable. I’m a huge fan of Fallon’s filthy mouth, and the sneaking-around element hit the spot perfectly. I really enjoyed this one!

This story follows Davina and Liam. After Davina and her best friends devise a plan to steal from wealthy criminals to pay off debts—and one day fulfill their dream of opening a school—she finds herself breaking into the office safe of Liam Brennan, an Irish mafia boss. Liam is not only powerful, handsome, and protective but also forces Davina into an arrangement after catching her somewhere she shouldn’t be.
I’m falling in love with this series and how it follows four friends whose lives are intertwined by a single incident, with each book focusing on a different friend’s storyline. In this installment, we get moments that tie back to the earlier books, which is brilliant. It brings back memories of those stories and adds depth to the overarching narrative.
Davina is a bit bratty and headstrong but also secretive. Despite not having much family, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect and care for her loved ones. As for Liam, there’s something about an older, mature MMC that really does it for u. me. He’s protective, possessive, and patient with Davina, but in the bedroom, he takes full control—and it’s absolutely delicious.
I really enjoy Eva’s work because it strikes a perfect balance between plot and spice. I highly recommend the audiobook, as it’s a duet narration by fantastic narrators. I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series!

This story follows Ariana, who recently caught her boyfriend cheating. She had already booked a trip to a resort in Mexico, and what was meant to be a romantic getaway turned into a solo trip. However, it quickly became an unforgettable surprise—and a forbidden fling—with her ex-boyfriend’s dad.
I had so much fun with this book! First off, Ariana’s best friends are absolutely brilliant and made the story enjoyable beyond the love interest. Ariana, the FMC, comes across as somewhat mature, beautiful, and confident in her worth. And Mr. Bentley—wow, this man is something else. He had me swooning. The way he treats her, listens to her, and absolutely devours her was perfection. I loved how his character was written: well-spoken, mature, and someone who knows exactly what he wants. The tension and buildup were fantastic, and the story is more character-driven than plot-focused, which I didn’t mind
I also want to mention the taboo label, as it’s part of the series name. Personally, I’d classify this more as forbidden romance. To me, forbidden means something that shouldn’t happen but can—like an ex-boyfriend’s dad (he’s an ex for a reason, after all). Taboo, on the other hand, feels like something completely off-limits that shouldn’t happen at all, like step-sibling or more extreme relationship such as relation romances.
Overall, this was a fun, spicy, and delicious read!

After growing up in the spotlight as the daughter of a famous rockstar, Cassy caught the eye of a dangerous obsession that would haunt her for years. Now, over a decade later, that person is set to be released, and she needs a bodyguard. That’s when Black Hawke Security is hired for the job. Joshua Hawk isn’t part of the bodyguarding department, but something about Cassy compels him to take on the role. Can he protect her?
This book was good but ultimately fell flat for me. Keeping in mind that it’s a free book currently available, I felt the characters fell for each other too quickly, with little buildup or tension. I don’t think I’ll remember these characters, as they didn’t stand out. The main plot centered around being protected from the stalker, which was interesting. I did enjoy the chapters from the stalker’s unhinged perspective, though be mindful that they can be graphic. Overall, it was a decent read but didn’t leave a lasting impression.

This story follows Wyatt and Trista. Wyatt lives in the mountains of Colorado with his brothers. He hasn’t had the easiest past when it comes to relationships, but he dreams of becoming a dad and is seeking a surrogate. What happens, though, when his favorite niece steps in to help with the search and accidentally stumbles upon fate?
First off, it’s a fantastic audiobook, so I highly recommend picking it up. I loved the broody lumberjack vibes from the MMC and how caring and protective he is of his family and the people he loves. Trista is fun and quirky, and her habit of bringing home stray or homeless animals is such a good laugh—especially because Wyatt always gives in.
I definitely found myself laughing along with this book, but at times it did feel a little over the top. I also wasn’t quite ready for the first spicy scene—it didn’t give me the spark I was expecting. Don’t get me wrong, I love these two together, but their chemistry didn’t hit as hard as I’d hoped.
Lastly, I wish Trista had come to terms with accepting help and realizing it’s okay to have a loving family a bit earlier in the book—it felt like it dragged on for most of the story. Other than that, I really enjoyed the book and had a great time with it!
