REVIEW: Love and Clockwork by Essie Sloane (Marriage Market Misadventures Series)

Image
  LOVE AND CLOCKWORK Marriage Market Misadventures Series by Essie Sloane Release Date: July 24, 2026 Review I’m really enjoying the Marriage Market Misadventures series, and Essie delivered a delightful addition. It’s got a cozy feeling, with some pinning, adventure, and eventually love. Oleander and Castien meet at the Marriage Market, where they share a kiss that they both think about over the years, but Oleander was never allowed to come back, so pinning it was. When they finally meet again as adults, there is definitely intrigue, but neither is willing to share their thoughts. Instead, they develop a plan for Castien to help Oleander find someone to marry. Best laid plans and all! Well, he does help him find love! Seriously, it’s a quick read, but really lovely. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis One hopeless romantic elf (emphasis on the hopeless.) One ambitious merchant elf (emphasis on the ambitious.) One week that changes everything. Oleander has been to the Ever...

REIVEW: Ford by VL Locey (Bastian Brothers #3)

  FORD Bastian Brothers - Book Three by VL Locey Release Date: July 23, 2026 Review Ford has remained a complicated mystery, having run to the ranch with his best friend from trouble. The longer he spends there, the more peace he knows. Companionship is the one thing that’s really missing, especially with his brothers Baker and Dodge having found their people. The flirty vet is a welcome distraction.  Aiden is a flirt for sure. He hasn’t done commitment before, as everyone and their brother has warned Ford about. (and pisses me off to be honest!). Not to mention the assumption that Ford doesn’t know what he wants. But they just fit.  Ford can use some lightness in his life, and Aiden finds he’s pretty good with being settled with the right person. We have another story to go. I love seeing this family find calm and love as they go. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis For Ford, the wide-open skies of Oklahoma offer not just a break from the past but a chance to bu...

REVIEW: Chase by Raleigh Ruebins

Image
  CHASE by Raleigh Ruebins Release Date: July 23, 2026 Review Such a fantastic story. Chase and Logan don’t have an easy breezy journey. It’s as chaotic as their independent lives, and though they clearly just work together, their romance is emotional and intense, but also a slow burn. They both have a lot of personal issues, and it’s so satisfying to witness the journeys they take to get to a place where they are happy and can find happiness together. It was beautiful and fulfilling. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Chase was never part of my plan. A windstorm is hitting when I find him on the hotel rooftop. He’s young. Wild. Impulsive. Standing at the edge of twenty stories, until I grab his arm. And then I realize he doesn’t recognize who I am . Chase sees me , not just the hot new actor. And he's in pain. He's straight, but he wants to try something with me. And then he becomes obsessed. And I cross a line I swear I never would again. Logan is everything I’m not...

REVIEW: Mike Bravo Ops: Hazard by Eden Finley

  MIKE BRAVO OPS: HAZARD Mike Bravo Ops - Novella by Eden Finley Release Date: July 23, 2026 Review The end! *cries into tub of ice cream* And it starts with an absolutely not a meet-cute. Tragic and emotional. And I’m not even sure you can classify it as a s slow burn; more like slow avoidance.  Poor Decaf. He’s spent so long running from his past only to be confronted with its son. But also…there is attraction. Cue another round of guilt! And now they are on the run, forced to face the past, their feelings and a questionable future. This series ends on a bang. But fun, hawt, and though I normally hate change, a satisfying conclusion. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis HAZARD Joining the infamous Mike Bravo Ops to meet the godfather I never knew doesn’t go the way I expect. I’m hoping to meet the man I’ve only read about in my late father’s journals, someone who’s warm, caring, and a ride or die. But when I arrive, all I get is coldness and hostility from someone wh...
