REVIEW: Dark Romance AU by Beth Christopher (Because Canon Sucks Series)

  DARK ROMANCE AU Because Canon Sucks Series by Beth Christopher Release Date: July 1, 2026 Review Hitman falling for his mark is always a good time. As is this story. Found in a compromising and dangerous situation, the man who’s come to off him, saves him instead. Then sets out to prove he should never have been a target. It’s kind of swoony in a dark, dirty kind of way. And I really enjoyed our tough hitman man was a bit of a marshmallow for Rowan. It was a good addition to this multi-author series, and has intrigued me enough to read some more by this author. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis I was sent to kill him. Instead, I saved his life and signed my own death warrant. Rowan was supposed to be my mark, but I don’t touch innocents. It’s my only rule. He may be grumpy, work outside the law, and look like he’s lost faith in humanity, but my gut says he’s not the kind of guy who usually winds up on my list. Me and my inconvenient morals, though. To keep him alive, I...

REVIEW: Don't Fall by EM Lindsey (Storm Season #1)

Image
  DON’T FALL Storm Season - Book One by EM Lindsey Release Date: July 1, 2026 Review Wonderful story. Engaging, touching, and with a little bit of external drama to make things extra interesting. Leo and North are both carrying the weight of the past and future. That weight is oppressive and exhausting. On top of that, Leo is also dealing with severe medical issues. They start as enemies, always snipping at each other, but over time, and thanks to some crows who both endear and irritate our MCs, they become something more , then temporary enjoyment. Until they find themselves relying on each other, seeking the other out. I really felt for these two and loved them together. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis That’s it. My neighbor has to die. There’s no other way around it. The man must be killed—and I’ll even find a way to do it gently, but this cannot go on. Okay, maybe I’m a bit dramatic, but living next to my brother’s best friend who decided to befriend the crows that...

Image
  ANYTHING BUT LOVE The Cannon Beach Boys - Book Two by AE Jensen & Courtney W. Dixon Release Date: June 30, 2026 Review Terrific story. Emotional, poking at a bruise kind of story.

Jett is still raw from his lost career and the end of his relationship with his father. Clawing his way back to a life that feels like it’s functioning.

REVIEW: The Librarian's Familiar by TJ Nichols (Familiar Mates #13)

Image
  THE LIBRARIAN’S FAMILIAR Familiar Mates - Book Thirteen by TJ Nichols Release Date: June 28, 2026 Review A fun story with a sweet, almost soft romance. Two men trying to figure themselves and their futures out, finding someone to share the journey with. A small town, magic shifter romance, where August and Charlie both feel like they don’t quite fit. But time, proximity, and a mission to protect the town, these two find love and warmth. I look forward to catching up on other stories in this series. They feel warm, cozy, with a hint of adventure. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Some secrets keep you alive. Others can get you killed. After nearly twenty years away, August North is heading back to the small Alaskan town he once couldn’t wait to escape. His pro‑sports career is over—ended by an injury even a polar‑bear shifter can’t heal—and the secrets he carried back then still sting: no one knew he was a shifter…or that he was gay. He doesn’t know if Claw Lake is home...

REVIEW: Mate Matched by Jax Stuart

Image
  MATE MATCHED Mate Matche - Book Two by Jax Stuart Release Date: June 28, 2026 Review These two don’t have a straight path to love, but it does come with growth, and the knowledge that they are good for each other. There are a bunch of ups and downs, and in truth, Brady is a little dramatic, and definitely not good at communicating or trusting. But it's also fun watching Xavier work to win Brady back. I really enjoy Jax’s style, and she writes wonderful characters.  I will admit, however, that this is my first MPREG.  I wanted to give it a try, especially as Jax writes a lot of it.  And it’s absolutely not for me.  I don’t get it. Love that others do, though, and I think if you do, this is a lovely story. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Mate Match, the love matching app with the highest success rate in the market! No one can beat us at finding loving, long-term romantic relationships for our members. We use in-depth questionnaires to get to the hea...
