This is a quick listen, but it’s like a little treat. Delivered by Lily’s fav narrator, Joel Leslie, the humour and characters are delivered flawlessly. An unexpected fling has both men feeling things they shouldn’t, because it’s going to end when Ziggy moves on. Because Ziggy has an emotional connection with his hometown. But maybe, just maybe, this fling is exactly what they both need to find something real. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Simeon Frith is recovering from a car accident at his house in Cornwall.

  HOLLOW HEART Northern Roots: Atlantic - Book Four by Eve Holmes Release Date: May 1, 2026 Review This wrecked me! I’m talking, I bawled through the first 50% and continued to tear up off and on throughout the 2nd half. My kryptonite is people who don’t feel worthy, seen, loved, or appreciated. Who don’t believe they will ever find love. And this epic best-friends-to-lovers hit everyone one of those soft spots through Silas. This slow burn (I do mean slow…not a criticism, it’s absolutely gorgeous) follows the life of two best friends in a small town on PEI. Silas doesn’t have it easy. And the only person who really seems to have his back is his dad, until Levi. Teachers, other kids, and even his mom all fail him at EVERY turn. Levi knows how to soothe and help Silas, and no matter what, they are ride or die. Their friendship is beautiful. But then Levi leaves for University, and their lives diverge. And it’s heartbreaking. Then one day, life conspires to bring them back together. ...

REVIEW: Shadows Never Lie by Lark Taylor (Shadow Duet #1)

  Shadows Never Lie Shadow Duet - Book One by Lark Taylor Release Date: May 1, 2026 Review Oh wow, this is definitely the darkest and angstiest book of Lark’s! This is mainly the beginning or early years. How Dominic and Ryan came to be. Ryan is a twin with Max, and his twin is terrible to him. And Max is best friends with Dominic, who is honestly equally terrible. But somewhere along the way, Ryan and Dominic manage to find a connection. Causing further tension with Max. It’s such a complicated and tense period. And just when Ryan thinks they are finding something solid, a future, Dominic f’s it all up. This is one of those stories where you know in the end you’ll love him, but in the meantime, you mostly dislike Dominic. He’s not without cause, but he makes you want to scream at him almost constantly.  And I suspect I’ll scream a few more times in book two before I swoon. And brother Max, I’m not sure I even want you to find any redemption! Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LIN...

  TIDE OVER Northern Roots: Atlantic - Book One by Eve Holmes Release Date: November 12, 2024 Review My first Eve Holmes book, and wow, absolutely beautiful, and I already know I’m going to be a die-hard fan. This is an ode to Eastern Canada as much as it’s a love story. Liam is a man being chased by his ghosts. The grief of loss and guilt has him driving aimlessly, feeling restless and unsure. Until he lands in Torrin Cove. Tiny, remote, and peaceful. Then he meets Theo. Theo loves his life, loves Lobster fishing, but he also carries his own grief. Together, they find something of their own. They build something quiet and beautiful. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis The storm will always pass… Desperate to escape his pain, Liam Fraser returns to his home province of Nova Scotia—but not to the place he once called home. Instead, he finds himself in Torrin Cove, a tiny, remote fishing village that seems like the perfect place to hide from the painful memories he can’t out...

REVIEW: Bruiser by Emmy Sanders (Elite 8 Studios #7)

  BRUISER Elite 8 Studios - Book Seven by Emmy Sanders Release Date: April 30, 2026 Review Oh gosh, this is the absolute sweetest thing. Easy, light, happy.  Trevor and Isaac find each other in University. Isaac is prickly, but Trevor wins him over with tenacity and poetry! Seriously, the easy acceptance between these two for who they are and their career aspirations is simply beautiful. And their banter is so much fun. Isaac may want to fight it, but he also knows there is no fighting it. I didn’t know how much I needed their story. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Before there was Elite 8 Studios, there was Trevor and Isaac. Trevor My college plans are simple: study, graduate, and get my business off the ground. Until one chance encounter in the library has my sights shifting. Isaac is as fiery as the hair atop his head. With his ire directed at me, I should steer clear. But I can’t step away from the English major I suspect is harboring some hurt. With a mutual ...
