  DRAKE Foster Bros - Book Three by Jodie Harper Release Date: May 28, 2026 Review I love this powerful, emotional series of Foster brothers, the amazing fathers who took them in, and the men they find to spend their future with. Throw in some kink for a little added something something. I’ve been excited for Drake’s story. The brother who is gone for long stretches in secrecy, but you could always feel his longing and need. Trying to find that connection and someone to fill his desires. Then he has a chance to connect with Finn. Drake sees his needs, and helps him find an outlet, filling something inside him that’s been missing, and connects them both. It’s a beautiful story.

  THE SUFFERING OF FOOLS by Jenn Burke Release Date: April 7, 2026 Review Jenn has created such a creative world, and it’s a fun premise for bringing together these two men. Accidentally married, then forced to unravel magical rules, goddesses that need to be appeased and a change in world view for one witch-hunter. Mokido and Kason end up in over their heads, but working together, they not only solve their issues, but also find something beautiful between them. This was a lot of fun, and really quite romantic. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis What's worse?

  RESCUED BY THE ANCIENT CHINESE WARRIOR PRINCE Time Traveling Men in Love - Book One by CD Rachels Release Date: May 29, 2026 Review This short fantasy/time traveling romance was pretty great.  I’m really enjoying CD’s foray into fantasy & paranormal.  Because it’s short, there is an element of insta-love, but it’s also got a fated vibe that makes it feel necessary rather than sudden. Was their meeting meant to be? That’s the fun of time travel.  Was it already written, or is this new? Will it change history? Carmine travels back in time to retrieve an artifact, but in his search, he meets Kurun.  A prince who is restless and dreams of a life of adventure, not that of leading a dynasty. When the artifact makes a new future possible, will he take it and the possibility of love? Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Our missions are simple: go back in time, retrieve an anomaly, come back in seven days, and don’t change the past. There’s certainly no ro...

  SUMMIT Ricochet Ridge - Book Four by Jillian D Wray Release Date: May 28, 2026 Review The final story in the Richochet Ridge series was the darkest for sure. I loved the couple together; they are both lovely men, and it was definitely an interesting predicament; one who lies because he struggles to trust and the other who struggles to trust someone who lies.  Zeke has lived one hell of a tough life and can’t seem to catch a break.  Despite it all, he’s a sweet soul.   Christian, on the other hand, has lived a life of privilege and wealth, but that means he’s never really experienced a life of his own or been sure that his friends are his friends. But in order to carve out a future, they have to deal with an abusive to-be-ex boyfriend and the publicity of being wealthy and interesting to the media. I did struggle with parts of this story.  There is a lot of on-page domestic and sexual violence, which I’m not entirely sure was necessary for the story. ...

  MENDING HEARTS Chords & Courts - Book Three by Becca Seymour Release Date: May 28, 2026 Review Wow, this trilogy has blown me away. It also destroyed me, and it was basically three books of me crying, but the journey, pain, & love was absolutely worth it. We all cursed Ollie the entire way through book 2, and there was worry about how he could possibly redeem himself and win Rafe back. But they did it.  And it was THEY. It took both working together, at the same time, to find their happy ever after. And as long as you don’t torment yourself with the years they ‘lost’, you’ll know that sometimes you have to go through some things in order to find your forward. Truly an incredible story. One of those books (series) that i feel honoured to have read. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Ollie Marshall has spent years mastering control—on the court, in the media, in the careful spaces between truth and survival. But control shattered the night everything went pub...
