  PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS Shadowy Solutions - Book Five by Nicky James Release Date: March 26, 2026 Audio Release Date: March 26, 2026 Review Ah man, Diem’s journey has been incredible. This dark, trouble, lonely man has had no one but an elderly grandmother to turn to. His life has been a struggle of PTSD, anger, addiction, and difficulty in building relationships. Then Tallus happened. The bubbly, chatty and inquisitive man has declared his interest in Diem and no matter what Diem hasn’t been able to shake him. (spoiler - he doesn’t really want to). Book five, they’ve see their share of struggles, worked some tough cases, and through it all they are building something beautiful.  Diem has come such a long way and I couldn’t love it more. He’s almost downright tender by the end! You really need to read the series - romance and sleuthing. And if you listen to audiobooks, you absolutely must listen to them. Nick J. Russo is perfect for this series. He is a master at the gruff s...

REVIEW: Fall Line by Jillian D Wray (Ricochet Ridge #2)

  FALL LINE Ricochet Ridge - Book Two by Jillian D Wray Release Date: March 26, 2026 Review A tension-filled story! Forbidden romance between Coach and athlete, along with a good dose of tension from the people in Vox’s life. Connor returns to the boarding scene after completely disappearing years earlier, to coach Vox. Vox is a young man who’s been through it over the years. But he’s had his manager/sponsor to guide and help him. As Connor and Vox build bridges and fall to their attraction, they each grow within themselves, but part of that journey is also learning the truth, or for Connor, learning to accept the truth. It’s a really good story, and I love how it ended.  I don’t love brats, especially the slightly toxic ones, but Vox grew a lot over the story.
