Slow and steady, day by day, they build something sweet and gentle. Gabe steps up to build trust with Dakota at every step.

There’s also a really sweet daughter, and I totally felt for Gabe as he tried to navigate being a single dad and his ex moving on and building a new family. And as always, I love getting glimpses of our favourite regulars. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Gabe My favorite principle in landscaping is transition. In life? Not so much.

  THIS GUY Wood Hollow  - Book One by Lane Hayes Release Date: March 25, 2026 Audio Release Date: April 17, 2026 Review Such a delight. More small-town goodness, and I love a romance where neither has to give up something for it. Silas and Cooper are brought together when Silas underestimates a snowstorm and Cooper has to save him (swoon) and nurse him back to warmth. Over time, these temporary neighbours become less and less temporary. And though they are hiding it, they build something strong and true. Throw in a couple of fun kids, and Wood Hollow, Cooper, and Silas win your heart. For the audio lovers, Nick J Russo is the narrator.  Need I say more?!? He’s such a wonderful talent.

AUDIO REVIEW: That One Moment by CS Autumn (Altered Paths #1)

  THAT ONE MOMENT Altered Paths - Book One by CS Autumn Release Date: March 14, 2025 Review Two things to know: One - This is phenomenal Two - It requires pretty much every content warning there is, I do mean all of them. Lol I would also note, probably not the best audiobook to listen to on the train heading home a month after your brother died!  I have a habit of listening to audiobooks in the order that I bought them, so though I read the description when I buy it, I don’t always read it before I start listening. So I had forgotten that this dealt with the death of a brother and mental health issues.  But still, it was an amazing book and would be emotional regardless. It really is a heartwrenching story with a super interesting construction. It involves all three men, Caiden, Cooper and Jamie. Cooper and Jamie are madly, perfectly in love. Cooper and his twin Caiden have a complex, intertwined relationship, not just because they are twins but also because Caiden has s...

REVIEW: Caleb by Cora Rose (Unexpected #10)

  CALEB Unexpected - Book Ten by Cora Rose  Release Date: April 24, 2026 Review I loved getting Caleb & Whit’s story from Whit’s side. The original and first book in the series, Whit, was iconic, but I’m totally here for this final book. Whit’s family isn’t just toxic, they are rich people toxic! And that dictates so much of who he is and how he interacts with the world. He took Caleb in as a roommate as a dig at his parents, but the truth is, Caleb changes his life.  His exuberant attitude, his over-the-top and loving family, and the care and love he shows Whit. No matter that we know how their relationship plays out, it was a fantastic story, and I loved getting to read it again. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis I don’t let anyone in… I can’t afford to. But he’s the first person who makes me want to try. My new roommate, Caleb, breezes into my life like unexpected sunshine lighting up the darkness. My secrets and sharp edges are built to keep people out....

REVIEW: Playing to Win by Kristian Parker (Love Goals #4)

  PLAYING TO WIN Love Goals - Book Four by Kristian Parker Release Date: April 20, 2026 Review I love it when a young, overconfident and slightly arrogant guy grows and settles into himself. And while it’s ultimately about Tito and Ewen falling in love, Tito becoming more settled in himself is a beautiful win. It, of course, has a lot of fun moments as these two butt heads and drive each other mad, but as they spend more time together, practice being friends, they develop something special. And together they become better players and better partners. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Brockton FC are almost in the FA Cup Final and top scorer and out gay player Tito Lopes wants to finish his first season with the club by lifting that trophy. But he has a fight on his hands. All year he’s been butting heads with Brockton’s other striker, Ewen Armitage. Sick of it, management have decided when one is on the pitch, the other isn’t. The humiliation of being on the substitute b...

REVIEW: Date in the Pinch by Brigham Vaughn (Naughty in Pendelton #1)

  DATE IN A PINCH Naughty in Pendleton the Game - Book One by Brigham Vaughn Release Date: February 11, 2021 Audio Release Date: January 6, 2026 Review Flipping the Switch from the series was my first Brigham, kink & MMM, and I knew I was going to be a devotee to Brigham.  So it’s a little embarrassing that it’s taken so long to read the others in this series, but their coming out in audiobook has been the perfect excuse! And James Edward Jones is a wonderful narrator, who really captured the characters and the vibes of the series. Date in a Pinch is sweet, light and hopeful, with small-town goodness and lots of beautiful kink. An accidental reveal in the mailroom at the school Alexander and Neil teach at brought these two together in the most delicious way. What started as exploration and teaching Neil about the possibilities of kink, not meant to be anything more, shifted to quiet nights, sharing TV series, dates-not-dates, and knowing the person inside and out. Until fa...
