John is on the brink of losing it all, and Chance is going back to where love first struck. It may be a favour to his deceased mother, but he’s not going to shy away when the mission lands John at his feet. A hopeful and sweet holiday romance.

REVIEW: Evan by Lark Taylor (The Wild Edges #2)

  EVAN The Wild Edges - Book Two by Lark Taylor Release Date: January 2, 2026 Review Incredible! I’ve been dying for Evan and Reid’s story since book 1. The hurt, guilt, anger, and love are so palpable, and the story is so tragic. One moment in time - carried so much emotion for the next 13 years. And now they must contend with their feelings and the decisions they made in the past, all under the threat of Reid’s family looking to wage war. It’s not an easy story. Not an easy journey. But damn it was so worth everything they went through to get to such an incredible and loving ending. I adore Evan - he’s such a great guy who proves that one mistake doesn’t change that. But he never shies away from that fateful decision. And Reid…I get him. His journey from anger to forgiveness was special. He made mistakes, too, and finding forgiveness for both Evan and himself was huge. But also, how great was it for him to find such a wonderful and loving family! Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LI...

  PUMPED Gymbos - Book Two by KM Neuhold Release Date: January 2, 2026 Review Fun and Sweetness for Percy and Butch. The nerd - jock duo who are so much more than that. When Percy accidentally walks into Sweat instead of Sweet he meets Butch, a personal trainer with more energy than a treadmill bunny. And their lives are brightened by the meeting. They have both pigeon-holed themselves into their personas - the skinny nerd and the dumb jock. And there is nothing better than finding a person who sees you as a whole person, and as a person who can be more. This is a playful, tender, and sweet romance.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis I’m just a nerd, standing in front of a bench press, asking it not to humiliate me in front of my gym crush I’ve never walked into a gym on purpose in my life, and I’m not sure which part is more shocking, the massive beefcake who immediately challenges me to arm wrestle or the fact that I kind of want to come back. I spent years of m...
