  FRICTION Cold Blades - Book One by KC Wells Release Date: June 23, 2026 Review Wow! This is an incredible romance that delves into the world Ice Skating Federations, Nation politics, and embracing yourself. The length of the book seemed a little daunting at the beginning, but this story pulled me right in, and I never once questioned the length. Olympic athletes from very different countries, and very different coaching. They have a wonderful connection, and that is what helps them find the strength to embrace themselves, their worth, and skill. I love the political piece. Both in a broad sense, but also how it affects on an individual level. It adds such a wonderfully interesting aspect to the romance. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Luka was built for control. He chose the one thing that would destroy it. Luka Davorin On the ice, I know exactly who I am. Every movement has a purpose. Every risk is measured. Every mistake carries a price. Off the ice is different. T...

REVIEW: Black & White by Vinni George (ORCA #1)

  BLACK & WHITE ORCA - Book One by Vinni George Release Date: June 6, 2024 Audiobook Release Date: May 27, 2025 Review Perfection! I am completely obsessed with this audiobook. The story, the narration, the shebang! The series follows Orca shifter brothers and the bounty hunter organization that they run. They are strong, fun, amazing personalities who are caring and thoughtful, but also live in a slightly ethical grey area.   Nero is fantastic.  Sexy, talented, and slightly adrift. Until he’s asked to protect Felix. Felix, who may need protecting, but he is not a damsel in distress. And I love how he isn’t afraid to insert himself into Nero’s life. He’s a talented hacker, knows his skills and his worth, and wants only the best for Nero. Narrator Declan Winters is a dream, and is absolutely perfect for this story. I am on a mission to listen to not just the rest of this series, but everything Declan has done. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Nero Hunt...
