  WOLFE Three Bears Tactical - Book Four by Jacki James Release Date: November 5, 2026 Review This is warm and protective and thoroughly enjoyable. Wolfe and Caden work together like a well-oiled machine. They are both personable and get along well. And Caden has a crush. But Wolfe is a stand-up guy and determined not to let the same thing happen to him that happened to his parents. Namely, to lose their business and their marriage. But then Caden has a stalker.

Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis For years, everyone at Three Bears Tactical has joked that Caden belongs to Wolfe. They're wrong. Caden is Wolfe's assistant. That's all. The fact that he knows Wolfe's food order, anticipates his needs before he asks, and somehow keeps the entire company running is completely irrelevant. At least that's what Wolfe keeps telling himself. Until someone starts watching Caden. What beg...

  HIS FORGOTTEN LOVE Bound in Blood - Book Two by Colette Rivera Release Date: November 2, 2026 Review A riveting storyline with an epic love story, an evil vampire and a found family. There were moments that felt long or perhaps slow, but then things would pick up, and that was forgotten. Ultimately, the story itself was too good to dwell on that part. My favourite storyline is best friends to lovers spanning years with some heartbreak, but in the end, perfect love, and His Forgotten Love gave us just that. Hunter and Mateo are delightful best friends, joined at the hip and meant to be together. But Hunters life is flipped and it complicates the years following. When they come back to one another, it’s proof they are better together. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis A swoon-worthy vampire/human romance. Twenty years of pining and devotion leads to bitter heartache. Can a tender friendship turn into eternal love? Anything for friendship. Everything for love. The biggest...
