REVIEW: Found in the Falls by JE Birk (Devon Falls #4)

Image
  FOUND IN THE FALLS Devon Falls - Book Four by JE Birk Release Date: June 25, 2026 Review Great story that kept me glued to the pages to find out what’s coming next. So much so, that at times I wanted to skip past the romance parts to find out what’s going on with the subplot!! LOL The love, care, and acceptance shared between them was lovely. And the found family is also wonderful. They fit in so perfectly. It’s another great addition to the Devon Falls series. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He rescued me in New York.

REVIEW: Football AU by Essie Sloane (Because Canon Sucks Series)

  FOOTBALL AU Because Canon Sucks Series by Essie Sloane Release Date: June 24, 2026 Review Milo and Ronan, in their football realm, are an entertaining pairing.  Grumpy/Sunshine teammates get off to a rocky start. Ronan is traded to a new team, and his teammate, tour guide, and neighbour is one very energetic and talkative Milo. Ronan is as reluctant as they come. A quiet guy who prefers his own company is not thrilled by Milo’s incessant talking (I don’t blame him). But there is also an attraction. But finally tension leads to fun, leads to, I can’t live without him. I really enjoyed the story and characters. But I’m still not a fan of the fan fic note element, and to be honest, it annoys me more and more with each book. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis The last thing Rowan Rangecroft expected two weeks before the start of the ALF season was to be traded to the Tucson Scorpions, but he knows the life of a professional football player comes with risks like this.

  FRICTION Cold Blades - Book One by KC Wells Release Date: June 23, 2026 Review Wow! This is an incredible romance that delves into the world Ice Skating Federations, Nation politics, and embracing yourself. The length of the book seemed a little daunting at the beginning, but this story pulled me right in, and I never once questioned the length. Olympic athletes from very different countries, and very different coaching. They have a wonderful connection, and that is what helps them find the strength to embrace themselves, their worth, and skill. I love the political piece. Both in a broad sense, but also how it affects on an individual level. It adds such a wonderfully interesting aspect to the romance. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Luka was built for control. He chose the one thing that would destroy it. Luka Davorin On the ice, I know exactly who I am. Every movement has a purpose. Every risk is measured. Every mistake carries a price. Off the ice is different. T...
