  GAME MISCONDUCT Scoring Chances - Book Six by Brigham Vaughn Release Date: August 7, 2026 Review A classic rival teammates, with one good guy and one chaotic self-centred player. If you love rivals, this will be a good time. I like Leif. Though he got caught up in the rivalry, he’s a calm presence, though is also a little closed off. From everyone. I can see why the opposites attract theory would work for him. I’ll admit, I don’t love Tanner. He’s the kind of guy who takes pleasure in making someone else uncomfortable. Not caring if he’s sharing private information. Hiding behind his chaotic, ADHD nature. He grows on me, but I never love him.  I love that they’re happy and working together to make their world of hockey a little more accepting.

He loves playing defense for the Boston Harriers, hooking up with anyone he wants to, and hanging out with the boys....

  HUNT ME Murder Hearts - Book One by EM Lindsey & Cora Rose Release Date: August 7, 2026 Review I am particularly taken by Archie, the autistic, morally gray man who saves cats and Denver. This is an entertaining story, and I really enjoy both the characters and the chaos they both bring to the story. Along with the steady acceptance and the desire to stand up for each other. The stalker piece felt like it was missing something.  But it was entertaining and helped to really delve into Denver’s family, who are going to be all levels of entertaining.

  WEATHERING THE STORM Perfect Catch - Book One by Mandy Mackay Release Date: August 7, 2026 Review New-to-me author, and I was quite taken by this story.  The setting was enthralling, and the story touching and emotional.  There was a brief breakdown (mine) in the middle. Gah, that was emotional. I love this fishing boat crew. They were such a great found family. BFFs Nick and Seth are also great guys. Like really great. Nick is a younger Captain, and he handles it with such grace and compassion. I can’t imagine have the lives and livelihoods of my crew on my shoulders! Their coming together feels inevitable, and in many ways, crucial to their surviving the storm. But their future as a couple and as a crew made it super satisfying. Will definitely read any MM stories by this author. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Rough seas, freezing temperatures... secret desires. Which will prove the hardest to survive?
