Not Guilty of Books

  ON A ROLL Food Truck Warriors - Book Three by Beth Bolden Release Date: May 6, 2021 Review Off to an explosive start when Gabriel and Sean turn up with a food truck of the same name!  Two years later they are still dug in and refusing to budge. Unpopular opinion - I’m on team Gabriel.  I don’t think he should have to change the name just because Sean has a story for why it matters to him. Especially given that he won’t tell anyone what it is. Sean is actually a bit unlikable at times. Requiring that their relationship remain casual, even knowing Gabriel is looking for more, holding back on his own story. He makes constant demands, but gives nothing.  I guess that makes it more satisfying when he finally lets go and starts living in the present with Gabriel.

They’re both passionate about servi...

  AFTER EVERY SUNRISE Hope Island - Book One by Maya Jean Release Date: May 8, 2026 Review If I found a sweet, dog-owning, football player on a beach, I would do a little jib and immediately propose! Tucker took a little longer to come around, but he had good reasons for taking the slow way. A little hurt comfort, two men remaking themselves, and some lovely friends and family who have their back. I enjoyed the fact that they have different dispositions; they both had things to work through, so it was more about supporting each other than one saving another. I enjoyed my first book by Maya, and I look forward to reading the next in the series.

Back on Hope Island, everything is slower, and he’s welcomed home like he never really left. Between friends and beach sunrises, maybe everything will finally be okay again. What Tucke...

  THE REVENGE MISHAP The Revenge Club - Book Two by Jax Calder Release Date: May 8, 2026 Review I know I say this every time, but Jax’s ability to write dialogue and banter is one of the tops! It’s such a ridiculous set up, that it’s absolutely perfect.  A pirate cafe, maple syrup as a weapon and a tech billionaire is owning a unicorn onesie like it’s a matter of life or death! Seriously, Leo may be here because of guilt, but it definitely feels like this is exactly what he needed. And Archie isn’t just keeping the secret that he knows what really happened on that fateful pirate ship. And it was so unexpected from the child entertainer/dog walker, like a secret alter ego. For two intelligent men, they make some dumb decisions, but oh man, their ending will make you smile.

  SUCK Feed and Feast - Book One by EM Lindsey Release Date: May 8, 2026 Review I like the world EM & Cora have built in this new monster romance; it’s enticing, and allows for so many potential storylines and romances. An alliance between humans and monsters has humans doing their duty for ‘god and country’ in a way that is unexpected and a little unusual. Everest is happy to perform his service, but then he is paired with Rathyn. A complicated military commander who’s world view is completely different the humans. It leads them down a complicated path where they are not supposed to be together, and politics exist that not everyone knows about.  But this fated pair learn to navigate it all together, and they build a found family worth protecting. Some parts were a little too over the top for me, but I have no doubt this will be a favourite for many.
