  KNIGHT Redemption Road - Book One by DJ Jamison Release Date: June 17, 2026 Review I am totally here for this grittier work by DJ Jamison. I love their cheekier small town worlds, but this, this hit the spot. Redemption Road is a support group and found family for men on parole, trying to start their life after. Their crimes, and reasons behind them vary, but each man is making a new start. Knight is a natural social worker/mother hen. Starting over isn’t easy. Keeping a job, meetings with his parole officer, his Redemption Road brothers, paying rent, and avoiding his old club…but through it all he’s always checking in on others. But also not really living life for himself. Until Aiden. Aiden, who’s brother came through Redemption Road, is only in town for a year. He has a plan, a plan to make sure his brothers sacrifice matters. But his time in this town, sharing space with Knight, seeing his brother happy, helps him see a future that isn’t just obligation, but one that has joy ...

REVIEW: Carnage by Mia Monroe (Crestvale Killers #3)

  CARNAGE Crestvale Killers - Book Three by Mia Monroe Release Date: June 17, 2026 Review I think this may be my favourite of the series. Something about the almos fated vibes that I love. One look and Carnage knows Rue needs help, and somehow Rue knows Carnage can help. What ensues is a game of Carnage doing whatever necessary to track Rue down and get him away from the d-bag that currently ‘owns’ him and has some really disgusting plans for him. I love that Rue doesn’t fall at Carnage’s feet, though he feels attraction and a pull, he takes time and questions what he wants in life. After what he’s experienced, I love that he is taking the time to make a choice. And the way Carnage supports Rue to find himself…*chef’s kiss* Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Take out an entire gang just to get close to the man I’m obsessed with? I’m in. Rue Leave it to me to get caught up with the wrong crowd as soon as I move to the big city. Now I’m trapped with nowhere to run, stuck co...

REVIEW: The Comeback King by Riley Hart (Necessary Roughness #1)

  THE COMEBACK KING Necessary Roughness - Book One by Riley Hart Release Date: June 17, 2026 Review This has the perfect balance of swoon and angst! Emotional but not devastating.  Needless to say, I loved it. There are no sides; you will connect with both Hunter & Lucas.  Lucas is not who his father wanted for a son, and though his brother is the perfect son, it’s his boyfriend, Hunter, who lets the Coach live his dreams. And for Hunter, being considered a son, having a father in his corner, matters a lot. So when Ellis dies, it’s no surprise that the entire family digs into what is safe. Until Lucas and Hunter run into each other years later, and yes there is a lustful connection, but there’s also a chance to break free of patterns and expectations.  This time, choosing love and happiness. Choosing themselves and each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Lucas To my dad, Hunter King is a football prodigy destined for greatness. The son he always ...

REVIEW: Variable Onset by Layla Reyne (Wild Type #1)

  VARIABLE ONSET A Wild Type - Book One by Layla Reyne Release Date: June 16, 2026 Review Layla Reyne is incredible at writing Lawmen solving cases and falling in love.  I always love the cases just as much as the couple. And Carter and Lincoln may prove to be one of my favourites (though, sorry boys, you’ll never be able to top Emmitt & Levi!). Lincoln is the responsible one, the safe one, but then he is sent on an undercover assignment with his biggest temptation. Carter is younger, brash, and absolutely pining for his former instructor. I love that contradiction.  Somewhere along the way of chase bad men, they discover they are better together, not just as agents, but as people too! And I have no doubt they will get up to some fun as they continue to solve crimes. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Special Agent Lincoln Monroe never breaks rules. Especially the one that says Carter Warren, his former student turned cocky field agent, is off-limits. Except...

REVIEW: A Summer with Dean by Michael McIlwee

  A SUMMER WITH DEAN by Michael McIlwee Release Date: February 17, 2026 Review I quite enjoyed this author's first MM Romance; the characters and setting were dynamic and engaging. And the writing style kept you engaged. These two budding actors come together at an acting summer program. Their path there is different, and their connection is friendship first, but with time and acceptance they develop a sweet love. The end felt a bit rushed, but I really like the journey, and will definitely be looking out for more books from the author. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Patrick O'Connell, a Broadway dancer with a notorious knack for attracting romantic catastrophes, lands in London with a bruised heart and a desperate yearning to rewrite his life. His acceptance into a prestigious acting school feels like destiny a chance to trade past heartbreaks for profound theatrical artistry in a city brimming with new possibilities. But when he meets Dean Clarke, a fellow stude...

REVIEW: Kael by Becca Seymour (Monsters & Mates #2)

  KAEL Monsters & Mates - Book Two by Becca Seymour Release Date: June 14, 2025 Review Ooh, the arching storyline is really getting interesting!! The couple is, too. Sonny is a spicy and determined guy. I love his fierce survival instinct. He finally meets his fated mate.  Too bad it’s Kael, the reluctant Royal guard. Kael is loyal to a fault, in a world that demands just that.  He’s conflicted between duty and his mate. But there’s no denying their connection, and, in fact, it’s key to helping save Dawson—the young man in dire straits. Love this couple so much, and I’m excited to see how the story arc plays out. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Falling for a royal guard with glowing eyes and a lethal energy punch? Definitely not on my Terrafeara survival bingo card. But here we are. I’ve spent over two years in this stitched-together world of monsters, rebels, and volatile rifts, doing my best to stay under the radar—mostly. That ends the moment an Aussie...
