Not Guilty of Books

  FORGET ME NOT by Felice Stevens Release Date: October 29, 2026 Review This was a lovely story. Full of healing, understanding, and love. Jake stumbling around the ranch was adorable, and Shae’s surefootedness was a great counterpoint. Jake’s daughter was precious, and I loved how good Shae was with her. Everyone’s in need of some TLC and along the way, they find some healing and a pretty epic love. I love to picture them walking hand in hand when they’re eighty. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Texas cowboy Shea Montgomery has plans. Big plans. Still mourning the loss of his beloved father, he’s finally ready to sell the Forget Me Not ranch.

  LYNX’S RUIN The Wilde Men - Book Three by Saxon James Release Date: October 29, 2026 Review Lynx is a fascinating character.  One who seems both cruel and child like.  Wandering with machetes, teaching children to fight, but also obsessed with fae and other similar notions.  At first he felt too hard to understand or like, but over time, as you learn what lead to him coming to the End, you find softness for him. Sasha seems like a lost lamb but he’s a fierce rabbit. He hasn’t lost his softness, but he’s a survivor, which makes him a force, and more importantly, he demands Lynx be his best self. He stands up for what they both deserve. Maybe not my favourite story, but also possibly the most interesting one. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Sasha I’m prey. Weak little helpless prey. At least, that’s what I let the wild men in Wilde’s End think. I haven’t trusted them one bit since I’ve been stranded here, and after Lynx tries to kill me, I know my instin...

  UNDER WATER Storm Season - Book Two by EM Lindsey Release Date: October 26, 2026 Review Despite some of the serious topics in this story, and the grumpy annoyance they start with, there’s a lightness to it, or maybe hope.  It’s a great combination. Easton and Rune seem to be oil and water in the beginning, but that’s mostly due to Rune’s mile-high walls (for good reason). A near tragedy forces them to interact and spend some time together.  It helps too that Easton both overcame some trauma to help Rune’s son Elio, but also treats Elio like he’s ‘normal’. Easton is an amazing man with tender soft spots, but also full of joy and fun, which is an especially great counterpoint to Rune’s bruised heart. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis That’s it. My co-worker has to die. There’s no other way around it. If I have to spend one more day cleaning up his mess—no matter how good he makes the mess look—I’m going to lose it. My life is complicated enough with a soon-to-b...

  HIGH ALERT by Becca Seymour Release Date: October 25, 2026 Review This is lovable goodness. Ross and Dan are really good guys, the kind you don’t hesitate to root for. After years apart these two are back in each other’s lives building their friendship and each pretending they don’t have feelings for the other. We also get some excitement thanks to nature and her destruction. It was exciting (and a good reminder of the damage of global warming).  Great story. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis It’s a tale as old as time. I’ve crushed on my brother’s best friend since I sprouted hairs on the unmentionables. Once upon a time, he was straight, until he wasn’t… and talk about bad timing. And when we’re finally at a place for me to make my move, sexy rural firefighter Dan clams up and acts weird and I’m left with pants that are too tight and my heart feeling bruised… but he’s a good friend and I’m grateful he’s in my life. Because of course Dan is a good guy. Though him...
