Not Guilty of Books

  SUMMIT Ricochet Ridge - Book Four by Jillian D Wray Release Date: May 28, 2026 Review The final story in the Richochet Ridge series was the darkest for sure. I loved the couple together; they are both lovely men, and it was definitely an interesting predicament; one who lies because he struggles to trust and the other who struggles to trust someone who lies.  Zeke has lived one hell of a tough life and can’t seem to catch a break.  Despite it all, he’s a sweet soul.   Christian, on the other hand, has lived a life of privilege and wealth, but that means he’s never really experienced a life of his own or been sure that his friends are his friends. But in order to carve out a future, they have to deal with an abusive to-be-ex boyfriend and the publicity of being wealthy and interesting to the media. I did struggle with parts of this story.  There is a lot of on-page domestic and sexual violence, which I’m not entirely sure was necessary for the story. ...

  MENDING HEARTS Chords & Courts - Book Three by Becca Seymour Release Date: May 28, 2026 Review Wow, this trilogy has blown me away. It also destroyed me, and it was basically three books of me crying, but the journey, pain, & love was absolutely worth it. We all cursed Ollie the entire way through book 2, and there was worry about how he could possibly redeem himself and win Rafe back. But they did it.  And it was THEY. It took both working together, at the same time, to find their happy ever after. And as long as you don’t torment yourself with the years they ‘lost’, you’ll know that sometimes you have to go through some things in order to find your forward. Truly an incredible story. One of those books (series) that i feel honoured to have read.

Firefighter and sexy man on a bike. A man who happens to be in town for a new job and a mission that could get complicated. It’s definitely intrigued me to the full story, ‘Ulysses’ Ultimatum’.
