Not Guilty of Books

  PATIENCE Damned Connections - Book One by Lark Taylor Release Date: August 31, 2023 Review This absolutely blew me away.  I’m admittedly not a big paranormal fan (in books, movies or tv) but I’ve followed a few authors over the cliff and have enjoyed them, and I like to try new books, genres, and tropes, so I decided Lark was a good author to blindly follow. And let me tell you, this one could possibly make me a convert to the genre. It had me from the first page and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I honestly did not want to put it down, and I’m ready to mutiny for the next book! It had everything you could want. Deep love, longing, pinning, heartbreak, sweetness… With a mix of contemporary life and the paranormal world of demons and angels. It was written so immaculately and the characters and world-building were just so fantastic.  I fell in love with each and every character but of course the main characters Ferry and Leo especially. Ferry will break your heart with

  RIVALED Kensely Panthers - Book Four by Nicole Dykes Release Date: August 29, 2023 Review Rivaled is probably the sweetest, most optimistic of the Kensley Panthers series.

But the folks don’t just care how many games they win, they also expect the Coach to be the ‘right sort of person’. And divorced Noah knows it all too well. Which is why he’s kept his bisexuality under lock and key. Until the delectable assistant coach shows up. Noah may try to hate the ex-Bear, their biggest rival team, but he just can’t ignore the pull to the younger man. This is a mushy and gentle story about finding the courage to be yourself and finding the person who makes you strong. It was a really lovely story.
