  THE HANDYMAN AND THE BARKEEP Snow Creek Ranch Series by AM Arthur Release Date: February 28, 2024 Review The Snow Creek Ranch multi-author series has not steered me wrong! I have thoroughly enjoyed every book so far, and this installment by AM Arthur is no different. Malcolm, the town handyman and sometimes barkeep, thrives on being there for people, including bar owner Howie when he falls sick. And with that, Iggy returns to town. Town native turned city boy mixologist, he stumbles back into small town life (with flair). It’s a great reunion. I mean it’s awkward, a bit stumbling, and hella healing. It also includes some wonderful new and old characters that help make this series feel so warm. Like you’ve been there yourself.

  SWEET DEVOTION Sins of the Father - Book Four by Riley Hart Release Date: July 15, 2026 Review It was great to get the story for the sister of this family-based series.

  QUILLS AND STARLIGHT Marriage Market Misadventures Series by Kota Quinn Release Date: July 10, 2026 Review Cute and Cozy!! Ten years of misunderstood memories re-remembered, and some meddling sisters help these two find their way to romance. Marriage Market is a great setting for the multi-author romance series. It allows for some creative takes on the world and the people in it, and Kota’s addition is delightful. The quiet, slightly awkward scholar of stars and the sexy Archer and traveller.  It’s a wonderful combo, where people find they have more in common than they thought, and that assumptions made were wrong. It’s relatively short, but a really lovely read. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis One stoic scholar afraid to leave home. One royal playboy always chasing his next adventure.
