REVIEW: Boy Next Door by Erin Russell

Image
  BOY NEXT DOOR Last Ditch Omegaverse - Book One by Erin Russell Release Date: August 25, 2026 Review Erin is a fantastic writer - the flow, style, all of it is enjoyable. Here, she delves into Omegaverse. Tanner, sweet, lonely, Tanner. Doesn’t fit in with his family, but tries nonetheless. But things go really bad when it turns out he’s not an alpha like the rest of the family. The only shining light is Gray. Both men are super drawn to each other, but more importantly, Gray is caring and patient.  Basically everything Tanner needs.  I will say - I don’t think Omegaverse is really for me.  The weird focus on roles, heats, and reproduction doesn’t really speak to me.  But that’s about me; Erin is talented and writes a great story. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Tanner has always felt like a normal college student. Maybe a little too normal. He’s a C-student, a mid baseball player, and the only one in his family of alphas who never presented. But he...

REVIEW: Maneater by MM Wilde (Legends Series)

  MANEATER Legends Series by MM Wilde Release Date: August 21,2026 Review Rex is like the Pied Piper of forest animals. Or maybe Dr. Dolittle.

The secret is out. And really, they are perfect for each other, you know, after the shock! Time spent in nature, a road trip to the summer solstice bash, and new and old friends around them is the making of a delightful love story.
