EVERY REASON TO STAY

Bears of Firefly Valley - Book Three

by Ryder O’Malley

Release Date: April 15, 2025

Review

This series has gotten better and better with each book. This one is downright sweet and delicious. It has all my favourite aspects of small town romances with a whole lot of gorgeous bears and a side of love of comic books, which adds a fun twist. Not to mention a gang of Drag Queens!


Jon and Tyler are the cutest - but also just down right good people.  And as Jon navigates life post Mimi’s death, he uncovers secrets (to him) of her life, and finds a home, family and purpose while simultaneously getting to know the boy who set his life a lite so many years ago.


Full of adorable dates, town meddling, and a very naughty calendar, Every Reason to Stay warmed my heart and made me want to both settle down and travel far and wide!

Synopsis

Firefly Valley, a town filled with small-town chaos and second chances.

My grandmother left me her house. I figured I’d host a completely normal Viking funeral and then head back to my dull life in the city. When I discover her secret life as a globe-trotting adventurer, I question when I traded passion for predictability. And do I have the courage to change it back?

Then a one-night stand sends me down memory lane.

Twenty years ago, while spending a summer with my grandmother, I kissed my first boy. Now he’s a rugged man running the town’s library, and he’s determined to pick up where we left off. A summer fling counts as an adventure, right?

I should have been careful when I asked for excitement. Between the library closing, reconnecting with my estranged sister, and… did I mention stripping for charity? I can barely breathe as I get sucked into small-town shenanigans.

I preach radical love, but now the universe is giving me a crash course in practicing it.

Every Reason to Stay is a M/M, snarky romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features the hilarity of small towns, plenty of steam, and a second chance at love. This is book three in the Bears of Firefly Valley.

About Ryder O’Malley

Superheroes stories are at core of Ryder O’Malley’s origin story. Refusing to read as a child, everything changed with the first stack of comics. He has always been a fan of forbidden romances within the pages of comics. It should be expected that he’d turn around and start writing his own stories filled with sexy, super, man-on-man action. Ryder’s novels draw on his own experiences as a gay man in search of love.

Ryder lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. When he’s not writing, he can be found working on client book covers (which means he’s admiring the abs of muscular men with a little bit of chest hair.)

REVIEW: Hateful Love by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck (King of Aces #1)

  HATEFUL LOVE King of Aces - Book One by T. Ashleigh & Addison Beck Release Date: February 1, 2024 Review That was a freakin’ fantastic story! This book is on the longer side, so when I went to bed to read at 8 pm I knew I wouldn’t finish it all.  Well, that was a lie I told myself because let me tell you, I barely even noticed when the clock chimed midnight and I was still reading. I was so utterly engrossed in this story that I could have been on fire and not noticed. Firstly, the prologue…wow, so touching, and gave such a fantastic incite into Silas. It’s a common story, two guys from different ‘sides of the track’ hate one another. Prejudices run high, assumptions are made. It would be difficult to imagine them ever being civil to one another, let alone falling in love. When I reached 50% I was thinking, okay, this is good, but I can’t imagine what’s left to cover over 200 pages…but let me tell you, that is when things really heated up and you knew you wouldn’t be put...

REVIEW: Resting Beach Face by DJ Jamison (Swallow Cove #4)

  RESTING BEACH FACE Swallow Cove - Book Four by DJ Jamison Release Date: February 20, 2025 Review Declan is so beautiful. Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely. Then there’s Cash - outgoing, sexual, and completely obsessed with Declan.  It’s a slow burn. One that requires both of them to shift their understanding of each other, and time to truly learn and understand both themselves and the other. I love both the trajectory of the relationship as well as the life and home they build.  It’s a truly wonderful pairing that may be my favourite in the series. Sure I see a bit of myself in Declan, but I also just adore the way Cash grew and how they balanced each other. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis He could have anyone he wants...so why is he so interested in me? Cash is a gorgeous chaotic bi guy with a reputation for getting around. And me? I'm the antisocial grump, closed off and lonely. We should be like oil and water....

REVIEW: The Burnt by Peter E Fenton (Declan Hunt Mysteries #3)

  THE BURNT The Declan Hunt Mysteries - Book Three by Peter E. Fenton Release Date: August 5, 2025 Review I wish there were more mystery romances out there.  I love the mystery-solving, both the entertainment value of the cases, but also as a plot point to a developing relationship. And Declan and Charlie are a dynamic duo. They have great banter, but are also caring people. Book three, and Declan and Charlie are still finding their way as boyfriends and colleagues, but it’s clear they could be amazing. And now Charlie is learning to become a detective, too. They each take on a case, but before long, they find their cases connecting. Which is perfect, because they do their best work together. They put to bed a case that Declan worked on as a police officer, but it also uncovers some things that I’m sure will cause them both some headaches in the future!!  Peter is a great writer, and I especially love this series.  Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Book th...
