Not Guilty of Books

  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.

  PICTURE PERFECT MISTAKE by Ana Ashley Release Date: May 8, 2026 Review Pure chaos vs controlled and put together! This unexpected couple is pure sweetness once they find their footing. And all would be smooth sailing if it weren’t for Pierce’s vengeful brother in the mix, and well, the whole boss/employee thing. Pierce is trying to redeem himself and stay out of the path of his family - chaos, light, and sunshine in the form of his cute assistant was not on his list. But oh so perfect. It’s a fun story, and the narrators, Iggy & Alexander, add to that fun. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Hook up with a stranger at a wedding? Check. Discover he's my new boss? Double check. Fall hopelessly in love with the grumpy CFO? Classic me. Pierce Dellcourt is everything I'm not: controlled, composed, and absolutely off-limits. I'm a chaos magnet, aspiring artist, and professional disaster. We're completely wrong for each other. Except when we're alone and his...
