  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.

  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...

  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....
