REVIEW: Perfect Nights by Oliver Takely (Soho Knights #1)

  PERFECT NIGHT Soho Knights - Book One by Oliver Takely Release Date: September 23, 2024 Review A debut novel by Oliver Takely is a solid start. I enjoyed the premise. Opposites attract, age gap, wealth disparity romance between Sebastian and Charlie. After a night of passion, their lives are destined to collide, which is perfect because they can’t seem forget about each other. It’s not an easy-going romance. They both have some serious issues that they need to work through to make it to a happy ending. It gives it a bit of a gritty feel. It was a little slow, for me, at times, but all in all I enjoyed the writing and the character development and will definitely check out book two.

To afford his mother’s care facility, he’s taken on a risky side job that forces him to sell his body. Life is tough, but Charlie remains resilient, finding solace in the camaraderie of h

REVIEW: The Rivals of Copper County by May Archer (Copper County #2)

  THE RIVALS OF COPPER COUNTY Copper County - Book Two by May Archer Release Date: November 19, 2024 Review You’ll smile the whole way through this story. Watt and Jasper were best friends as teenagers, but rivals too. Rivalry was their love language. When they were pulled apart, assumptions were made, hearts were hurt, and twenty years later they are reeling from seeing each other again. Try as they might to steer clear, they are both drawn to each other, and it doesn’t take long for the rivalry to start up again. And it’s a lot of fun!! They are both easy to love and though they struggle a bit to find their footing, there’s no over-the-top drama or misunderstandings (which, love!). I also highly recommend the audiobook because…Michael Dean. The man knows his stuff, and always does a fantastic job of May Archer’s stories.

REVIEW: 12 Dates of Christmas by Brigham Vaughn (Christmas Falls Season 2)

  12 DATES OF CHRISTMAS Christmas Falls - Season 2 by Brigham Vaughn Release Date: November 19, 2024 Review Widower Nick is a matchmaker, but he’s falling down on the job when it comes to finding Leo a match. And he really isn’t unconsciously sabotaging it because he has the hots for the younger man. I love a good second chance story, and the dates gone awry were a lot of fun. Seriously, I’m never looking at a man in an elf costume the same way. I really liked Nick. He was warm and lovely, and it’s not surprising there are some starts and stops to his dating for the first time since his wife died.  Leo was good, but I never fell in love with him.  He was a little too over-dramatic and it kinda of felt like it was always about him. I really loved getting to see Joel and Hayden again, I adored their story from the first season, and they are still cute AF.

DECK THE HULLS Silver Shoals Series by Kat Cassidy Release Date: November 19, 2024 Review What a great story. When things go awry, poor decisions are made, and a sweet romance is started, you get Deck the Hulls. Adam accidentally kidnaps Elijah while ‘borrowing’ his boat to dispose of a body he didn’t kill. The poor guy really was trying to turn his life around, it was just harder than he thought. But after meeting the boat captain hopped up on cold medicine and bossier than he looks, he falls hook line and sinker. It’s such a fun story, and it keeps you guessing about how he’s going to get out of this mess, but Elijah sweeps us all off our feet, and they get their dreamy happy ever after. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis This Christmas, he’s hiding more than his identity… Fresh from a life tangled with the Greek mob in LA, Adam Sgouros is starting over in witness protection—but he feels unmoored in his new small-town existence.

AUDIO REVIEW: The Player by Lily Morton

  THE PLAYER by Lily Morton Release Date: November 18, 2024 Audio Release Date: November 14, 2024 Review Con and Frankie are such a lot of fun, as is their story.  Between their mutual pinning, some awkward misunderstandings, and some really great side characters (including a crime-obsessed parrot), this is a thoroughly enjoyable story. Frankie is widowed by Con’s best friend. But even if he hadn’t died, it’s inevitable that these two would have found their way to each other. They’re perfect for one another. Best friends and lovers. Set in a quaint village with open garden days, meddling neighbours - really, the whole shebang. It’s exactly what I love about Lily’s writing.   Not to mention that the narration is done by Joel Leslie, who always delivers a top-notch performance.  It’s like Lily and He are made for each other.
