  ANCIENT HISTORY South Rock High - Book One by AJ Truman Release Date: August 30, 2022 Review I may actually like this series more than the Single Dads Club, which says something because I love those sexy dads A LOT! Amos and Hutch are sweet, sexy, and fun in equal measure.    “Before we could continue our telepathic foreplay, his players dumped the water cooler of Gatorade on his head. Hutch’s white polo shirt became see-through, so really, we all won tonight.” Amos is a teacher at the high school he graduated from, South Rock High, in the same town he grew up in. He’s out and proud now, and he’s surrounded himself with some amazing friends whom he also works with. Life is good. In walks the new, gorgeous, gym teacher and soccer coach. Who also happens to be his high school ex who broke his heart. As these two reunite, it’s all kinds of awkward. Amos wants nothing to do with the man who broke him, but damn if doesn’t still find him all kinds of sexy. And charming. What ensues is a wo

  SINFUL MAFIA PRINCE Malvagio Due - Book Two by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine Release Date: August 29, 2022 Review What’s the point of fighting to reign over an entire city if you can’t make the rules and have everything you want? The conclusion of the Malvagio Duet is one that proves the heart never listens to the brain, even if it means running towards possible death. The first book (Forbidden Mafia Prince) was dark and brutal, while this one is more heart-racing and intimate. I enjoy the contrast. And here we get to really understand who they are, what motivates them. It works really well. The ending was fantastic for these two, the perfect balance of Luca & Dom merging their lives. The only thing that would make this better is for Chef to get his own story!

In a last-ditch effort to save their crumbling empire

I love a slow burn, and these two didn’t disappoint. This is a mature and loving friends to lovers, double not-so-straight awakening. Atlas is called to San Diego when his uncle winds up in hospital.
