  ACCIDENTAL BLOOD LUST Damned Mercenaries - Book Three by Mika Nix Release Date: June 26, 2026 Review Oooh, I had no idea how these three were going to work and come together, but damn!! Such a creative and fun story, and action-packed! Lochlan is a bit of a disaster, which leads him to pushing away the love of his life. Jareth can not accept a vampire as a partner. And as his best friend Roman doesn’t want to date knowing he has a fated mate (even though he’s in love with Jareth), things are awkward. Especially when it turns out that Lochlan is Roman’s fate mate. Messy!! Throw in a fae syndicate that is after them and needs dismantling, this story is a lot of fun. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Fate wouldn’t be cruel enough to mate me to the ex boyfriend of the mage I’ve been in love with for years… would it? The last thing I want to do is help Lochlan. He was stupid enough to get himself turned into a vampire and ruin his relationship with Jareth, and that’s his pr...

  HOME ICE by Saxon James Release Date: June 25, 2026 Review Such a great story! Best friends, second-chance, turned lovers, with a side of surprise, you have a kid! I love a best friend's second chance story, the hurt, forgiveness, learning to love again. And this has it in spades. All because Jensen has come home after discovering he has a teenage son.  The awkwardness, the rollercoaster of emotions, and watching his son come around to accepting Jensen.  Loved it. And Tai, learning to ask for more, seek out happiness…so satisfying. The way these two build a relationship and life is exactly what I’m looking for in a romance. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis TAI Ten years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life. When Hawke left for the NHL and my hockey dreams went up in smoke, I ghosted my best and longest friend. It made sense at the time, but there hasn’t been a day where I haven’t missed him. So when we run into each other again, and his only response i...

  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. I followed him to Vermont. After Dr. Milo Warner saves me from humiliation in a hotel hallway, I can’t stop thinking about him. When I get the chance to hide from my problems and open a community center with Milo in a small town called Devon Falls, I take that opportunity and run. But now things between the two of us are heating up fast. Milo protects me from runaway gondolas, takes care of me when I’m injured, shields me from my trauma, and sees power...

  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.
