REVIEW: Caught Offside by Quinn Ward

Image
    CAUGHT OFFSIDE by Quinn Ward Release Date: August 29, 2026 Review Really enjoyable professional multi-sport romance. I enjoyed the element of two different sports. They don’t just have the same problem of schedules and possible trades, but also different seasons.   It highlights the conundrum of how long into a relationship you should start considering it in your major life decisions.   Patrick is cautious off the ice. Reserved. And no matter how much he likes Asher, he’s careful and a little reluctant.  He’s also the kind of person who draws inwards when life turns hard.   Asher is open and kind, even when constantly being under the strain of making it in the shadow of his parents. Even when trying to earn his spot in the big leagues. He’s patient with Patrick (sometimes to patient). But sometimes having to find growth within yourself to make love work, makes it all the more special. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LI...

REVIEW: Burning Love by Ashley James (Sweet Briar #1)

    BURNING LOVE Sweet Briar - Book One by Ashley James Release Date: August 27, 2026 Review Such a beautiful tale that had me tearing up more than a few times.  One of those epic, stories that spans many years, uncovers years of history, tragedy, and a second chance.   To say Chesney and Jasper have a complicated past is an understatement. And complicated relationships with their families, it’s history, and it’s future. So much pain, and loss, and hurt.   But being forced together, forced to reckon with the past, and their feelings that have never really gone away made for an amazing story.   Truly a wonderful story. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis One year. Two ranches. A secret neither of them can outrun.   Chesney Jennings is the last person Jasper Smith ever expected to see back in Sweet Briar, Wyoming. So when Jasper’s grandfather dies and leaves half of Wind River Ranch to hi...

REVIEW: Glow by Morgan Brice (Legends Series)

Image
    GLOW Legends Series by Morgan Brice Release Date: August 28, 2026 Review Glow had a bit of different vibe than the others, but no less entertaining. Where the others had a central storyline about them making to it to the solstice bash, Glow takes a departure that involves Dan moving towns.   On the run from hunters and terrible podcasters (seriously, not everyone should be allowed a microphone), Dan finds himself taking refuge in Fox Hollow where his online friend, Quinn, lives.   Beyond the stress of running, there’s the usual nerves of coming out as cryptid, meeting new people, learning to trust, and falling in love.   It was a lot fun with great small town/sanctuary vibes.   Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Let your light shine. When Dan Connor, the Dover Demon, is pursued by bounty hunters, he seeks sanctuary in Fox Hollow in the Adirondack Forest. Dan inherited the spirit from hi...

REVIEW: Crash Course by Hayden Hall (The Boys of Elmwood U #3)

Image
    CRASH COURSE The Boys of Elmwood U - Book Three by Hayden Hall Release Date: August 27, 2026 Review A bit of touching second chance moments, and some fun chaotic rom-com dating disasters.   A for effort to Finn’s friends for trying to turn matchmaking into a science project, but their methodology is definitely flawed!! LOL Cue some downright terrible, bizarre, and hilarious dates.   But then there’s Jesse, his childhood ‘almost something’ who had disappeared from his life, leaving a void.  He suddenly appears on campus.  They dance around each other, feeling a connection but also knowing they actually don’t know each other anymore. So they slowly move toward a pretty sweet HEA.   This is lighter fare that some of the Hayden’s recent works, full of warmth and humour.   Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis I came out first. I started dating first. And somehow I’m still single. My ...
