REVIEW: Hat Trick by EM Lindsey (Legends & Fury #2)

  HAT TRICK Legends and Fury - Book Two by EM Lindsey Release Date: May 18, 2026 Review Micah is a hot mess!! I mean, I get it, he’s been through some stuff, and is still going through it. He and his brothers. But his walls, and issues, and outward image are no match for Vanya. The homesick, amazing, friendly Russian hockey player. Vanya always seems to be where Micah needs him. Which, thank gawd, cuz Micah has a stalker, and OMG, I can’t imagine the terror of that, especially being blind. Not being able to see the danger, and having that blindness used as part of the torture. Gah. While he stubbornly (I do mean stubborn) tries to deal with the issue by himself, Vanya refuses to let that happen. As much as I loved seeing Micah let down is walls, I’m pretty in love with Vanya finding love, and a home.

REVIEW: Stolen by Liv Rancourt (Soulmates: City of Angels #1)

Image
  STOLEN Soulmates: City of Angels - Book One by Liv Rancourt Release Date: March 19, 2026 Review Didn’t know what to expect from a fantasy Robin Hood, but I do love a steal from the rich, give to the poor ethos! Stolen, came with a motley crew of supernaturals trying to save not just their neck of the woods, but the whole world from a force that keeps rearing its head. These men are slightly emotionally damaged and bedraggled by life and politics. This definitely draws you in and keeps you around to find out how things will play out. John is centuries old, while Marcus is a mere babe in the grand scheme of things, but both are compelling, and the draw between them is super interesting. Their journey is lovely, and I’m excited to see where the rest of the series leads. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis What if Robin Hood was still around, humbling the rich and bringing relief to the poor? The immortal Lord of the Greenwood calls upon his merry men when evil needs to be c...
