REVIEW: Shadows Never Lie by Lark Taylor (Shadow Duet #1)

Image
  Shadows Never Lie Shadow Duet - Book One by Lark Taylor Release Date: May 1, 2026 Review Oh wow, this is definitely the darkest and angstiest book of Lark’s! This is mainly the beginning or early years. How Dominic and Ryan came to be. Ryan is a twin with Max, and his twin is terrible to him. And Max is best friends with Dominic, who is honestly equally terrible. But somewhere along the way, Ryan and Dominic manage to find a connection. Causing further tension with Max. It’s such a complicated and tense period. And just when Ryan thinks they are finding something solid, a future, Dominic f’s it all up. This is one of those stories where you know in the end you’ll love him, but in the meantime, you mostly dislike Dominic. He’s not without cause, but he makes you want to scream at him almost constantly.  And I suspect I’ll scream a few more times in book two before I swoon. And brother Max, I’m not sure I even want you to find any redemption! Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LIN...

REVIEW: Tide Over by Eve Holmes (Northern Roots: Atlantic #1)

Image
  TIDE OVER Northern Roots: Atlantic - Book One by Eve Holmes Release Date: November 12, 2024 Review My first Eve Holmes book, and wow, absolutely beautiful, and I already know I’m going to be a die-hard fan. This is an ode to Eastern Canada as much as it’s a love story. Liam is a man being chased by his ghosts. The grief of loss and guilt has him driving aimlessly, feeling restless and unsure. Until he lands in Torrin Cove. Tiny, remote, and peaceful. Then he meets Theo. Theo loves his life, loves Lobster fishing, but he also carries his own grief. Together, they find something of their own. They build something quiet and beautiful. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis The storm will always pass… Desperate to escape his pain, Liam Fraser returns to his home province of Nova Scotia—but not to the place he once called home. Instead, he finds himself in Torrin Cove, a tiny, remote fishing village that seems like the perfect place to hide from the painful memories he can’t out...

REVIEW: Bruiser by Emmy Sanders (Elite 8 Studios #7)

Image
  BRUISER Elite 8 Studios - Book Seven by Emmy Sanders Release Date: April 30, 2026 Review Oh gosh, this is the absolute sweetest thing. Easy, light, happy.  Trevor and Isaac find each other in University. Isaac is prickly, but Trevor wins him over with tenacity and poetry! Seriously, the easy acceptance between these two for who they are and their career aspirations is simply beautiful. And their banter is so much fun. Isaac may want to fight it, but he also knows there is no fighting it. I didn’t know how much I needed their story. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Before there was Elite 8 Studios, there was Trevor and Isaac. Trevor My college plans are simple: study, graduate, and get my business off the ground. Until one chance encounter in the library has my sights shifting. Isaac is as fiery as the hair atop his head. With his ire directed at me, I should steer clear. But I can’t step away from the English major I suspect is harboring some hurt. With a mutual ...

REVIEW: Avalanche by Jillian D Wray (Ricochet Ridge #3)

Image
  AVALANCHE Ricochet Ridge - Book Three by Jillian D Wray Release Date: April 30, 2026 Review Hanlon and Stone had a complicated relationship. Step brothers, with parents determined to have them become a family, an age gap, and Hanlon’s disability meant that their parental attention was skewed. They both loved each other as people, but Stone needed to go, to find his own path, his own identity. He’s carved out a life on the Mountain preventing avalanches. The avalanche he couldn’t see coming was Hanlon joining his team. Their journey wasn’t easy or calm, but the chemistry was clear, and they discovered something that was worth fighting for. One more to go, which, truthfully, I’m a little cautious about because Logan displayed some problematic behaviour, but I’m always ready for a redemption story. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis A LOVE THAT COULD BURY US BOTH. Four years of silence, two thousand miles, and a love their parents will never forgive. STONE It wasn’t Hanlon...

REVIEW: For Frat's Sake by Riley Hart & Devon McCormack (Peach State Fratbros #3)

Image
  FOR FRAT’S SAKE Peach State Fratbros - Book Three by Riley Hart & Devon McCormack Release Date: April 30, 2026 Review I love the ‘golden-retriever people pleaser’ vs ‘misunderstood, grumpy, closed off recluse’ vibes. Miles was cast as the villain previously, and that shadow is long. But Dax isn’t most people, and he’s eager to look behind Miles’ walls to get to know the real person. It’s definitely not smooth sailing to hooking up, let alone love, but it’s fun and warm, and oh so satisfying. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis DAX   Miles Tanner hates me for no reason.   Me—lovable, easygoing, sexy-as-hell Dax Armstrong, always there when a fellow fratbro needs a hand...or if that fratbro would like to enjoy more than just my hand...   Miles is the broody artist-type who just got off probation for starting the fire at Sigma Alpha. Basically, a walking red flag.   But for a guy who's always looking to start a fight with me, I can't wrap my mind aro...
