  SWEET VENGEANCE Sins of the Father - Book Two by Riley Hart Release Date: October 8, 2025 Review Is a marshmallow mobster a thing?  Because Cillian gets pretty darn gooey for Ollie, even if he tries to pretend it’s just casual and he’ll never do love. Cillian’s story breaks my heart.  Irish mobster or not, he deserved to have a father present and loving in the face of losing his mother. Even if he does have the most incredibly loving and loyal friends.  Cillian refers to Ollie as ‘kitten’, and it’s perfect because he is adorably fierce, unapologetic and brave. I mean, he willingly calls the mobsters ‘mini-mob’ to their face!! The relationship these two develop is truly special and is built on understanding, passion and need. This includes the acceptance of the incredibly close friendship Cillian and Rory share. Which was done fantastically, by the way.

  PUCK SHOTS Love The Game - Book Five by Becca Jackson Release Date: October 7, 2025 Review I love a jock who roots for people and appreciates someone different from themselves.  I especially love how this hockey player and science student find common ground in both their passions. Eli is out of place in the KOK house, but with the help of Cosmo, he finds his footing in a mostly sporty frat.  These two have something special.  Both embracing who each other is, often in small ways, and it is all kinds of wonderful. And the way they hype each other up to follow their dreams is pure goodness. The story is a lot of fun too.  Taking place largely during frat pledging season as well as in the hockey rink.  There’s a lot of good-natured fun and ribbing, with plenty of amazing friends and family who make you smile. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis I’m here to play hockey, get drafted, and maybe break a few campus records while I’m at it. My plan is sim...
