  SECOND WINTER by Sophia Soames Release Date: July 15, 2024 Audio Release Date: March 10, 2025 Review A lovely story set in Norway, which follows the lives of two men who are still figuring out how to live their lives for themselves. Brought back together by a high school reunion, Teddy and Ned find themselves and happiness. The story is tender and full of complicated emotions, but it has a quiet warmth and a beautiful payoff. The audiobook is narrated by Jaxon Jensen, who is new to me. He has a lovely voice and delivered a compelling performance.  I did struggle a bit to differentiate between the two characters, but otherwise, it was a wonderful listen, and I would enjoy hearing more from him.

It’s a chance to reunite with all the people he once considered friends, and the invite p...

  DIRTY ANGEL by Nora Pheonix Release Date: February 10, 2026 Review Guardian angel pretending to be a detective, pretending to be Eamon’s boyfriend. Fun stuff! It was a fun premise for a story, with two interesting characters and plenty of warmth and emotion. With some Nora Phoenix drama, of course! I really enjoyed them both.  Eamon is bubbly, warm, inquisitive and strong. And Eamon is all kinds of lovely and a wonderful protector. It was a really good story, and I would love more in this universe/world.

  PAH! Deaf Hearts - Book Three by EM Lindsey Release Date: February 10, 2026 Review Oh, Rome, I knew it would be beautiful when you fell in love! The anger and walls were there for a reason, but you never really meant it. And Dex was the perfect person for you. Full-hearted, caring, and thoughtful, he could break through any walls. There was work involved, but they both put in the effort to find their way and it was gorgeous. From hot and heavy fun to thoughtful dates, these men created something perfect for them. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Whoever convinced me that sleeping with the hot co-owner of PUMPT Gym was a good idea should be tied to a tree and left in the woods to rot. Too bad I'm the only one to blame. There’s something about Dex that captured my attention the moment I first saw him, and no matter what I do, I can’t get him out of my head. But there’s one tiny problem. He's hearing. And he doesn’t sign. Oh, and he’s also the brother of the guy my ...
