  STEALING HIS THUNDER Toronto Thunder - Book Two by Beth Bolden Release Date: January 14, 2026 Audio Release Date: February 18, 2026 Review Another compelling, beautiful and emotion-packed story from Beth’s football franchise. Dawson and Cam bring their whole hearts, even if they are in denial or hiding. Even when being a grumpy so-and-so, you can see it’s his bruised heart speaking, not the real him. And thankfully for Dawson, Cam is patient. He doesn’t push or demand, just quietly and consistently shows up, giving time and space for Dawson to build his own trust and confidence back. It’s a gorgeous story, but is definitely helped along by the talented Darcy Stark. I always enjoy his performances. One of the things I truly like about him is that I can always tell the difference between characters - changing his voice, cadence, etc., means I never struggle to follow who’s speaking when.

  BE MY MONSTER by Davidson King Release Date: February 25, 2026 Review Love me some morally grey men, especially when they are good men who are compassionate and loving.

REVIEW: Meltdown by Jillian D Wray (Ricochet Ridge #1)

  MELTDOWN Ricochet Ridge - Book One by Jillian D Wray Release Date: February 24, 2026 Review My first by Jillian, and it won’t be the last. These two are slightly co-dependent best friends. Relying on each other emotionally in all things, but Damon is hiding his sexuality, and Liam is in many ways hiding from his own emotions. Two weeks at a sky lodge is the perfect time for secrets to come out and some hard truths to be faced. I enjoyed the characters and the writing. There was some wonderful tension and a lot of love, which made their story hard-earned, while also feeling like the easiest thing there is. Definitely looking forward to the next in this series. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis WE WERE INEVITABLE. In the thin air of Ricochet Ridge, the truth isn't just a revelation—it’s an epic meltdown thirteen years in the making. LIAM I’m at my breaking point. After losing my mom and being deceived by my dad, I’m heading to Ricochet Ridge for my annual ski trip feeli...
