  THE BAKER AND THE KRAKEN Celebrations with Mythical Mates - Book One by Ellie Ash Release Date: September 11, 2026 Review A reminder that hate and fear are taught and a good friend can snap you out of such ridiculousness. Adam is a witch and a baker who is talented but also extremely clumsy! Which is definitely not helped by the hot guy watching him across the room. Calder immediately knows who Adam is to him, but I love that he courts him, that it isn’t an insta-love relationship. They took their time to fall in love, time for Adam to believe someone could love every clumsy inch of him. It’s a really cute story and a lot of fun.

  ALLEGIANT The Firm - Book Four by Cora Rose & Lark Taylor Release Date: Sep 10, 2026 Review Fantastic, wonderful, beautiful! I adore Samson and Rowan. This pairing almost wasn’t, if Samson had just done his job. But thankful he felt a pull, felt something off, and couldn’t stay away. Samson is a complicated man.  Born of a family whose job is dark and unconventional, with a father who was cruel.  It’s all he knows, but not all he wants. With a softer, beautiful side. But it’s not until Rowan that he feels confident in embracing it. As for Rowan, this kind, smiling dancer is also carrying tragic pain & guilt. He’s constantly trying to cover it, until a gorgeous man offers distraction. It’s emotional, and too much is kept to themselves for too long, but love and acceptance rule, and slight unhinged but fiercely loving family, win the day.

  NOT ANOTHER DARK ROMANCE Unexpected Connections - Book One by Lexi Amber & Bec Benson Release Date: September 9, 2026 Review This is a fun, wild story that is cheeky and a little silly. Mason is ridiculously obsessed with getting his own dark romance, and when he gets himself kidnapped, he’s very, very pleased. Zane, having thought he had killed Mason, decides (as one does) that he does need to kill him so that his accidental hit and run turned kidnapping doesn’t get out. This is over the top, but in a really good way; it was fun to see how they found their way to a relationship that was uniquely them. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Mason When I pretend like I’m a main character in one of my favorite dark romances and stalk my hot waiter, I never imagined I’d end up chained to the pole in his basement. The outcome is better than I could’ve hoped for. Zane insists he has to kill me because my stalking attempt led to him accidentally committing multiple crimes he ...
