Not Guilty of Books

  STRAIGHT TO YOU by Bec Benson Release Date: June 26, 2025 Audio Release Date: February 10, 2026 Review A great emotional best friends romance with a bit of stalker suspense to provide a little extra tension. My first book by Bec Benson, and I really enjoyed the writing and the setting. I like romance stories with a suspense element. Logan and Rider have a great relationship, but Logan is gay and in love with his straight best friend. While he’s trying to find a way to move forward and keep his friendship, a stalker pops up, forcing Ryder to become extremely protective. Forced proximity and fear allow these two to find their way. The audiobook is narrated by Liam DiCosimo & Kirt Graves, which definitely adds to why I enjoyed this book so much.

  CHARMING PUCKBOY Puckboys - Book Ten by Eden Finley & Saxon James Release Date: April 16, 2026 Review End of an era! And it's with Little Kiki!! This has been an amazing series, and it’s sad to say goodbye to the Queer Collective. But it was a wonderful end, and we got a great glimpse of the future for all our men. Lachlan is a star, but also young and the youngest, so he’s energetic and definitely gives baby of the family vibes! Which is what makes Sam such a perfect fit for him. Slightly older, definitely calmer, he keeps them grounded. This one is very character arc-driven, but there are still lots of fun moments with the team and the QC.  There’s no way we won’t catch glimpses of some of these men in the future, so till then!
