WONDER, WONDER

Ashland - Book Two

Release Date: November 25, 2025

Review

Christina’s writing style really draws you in. I find myself lulled into the story unable to stop with how it flows and intrigues. And I enjoy this couple because they are real. The story surrounding them may feel like fiction, but the people, their imperfections, the work it takes every day to choose to be better, to love one another - it’s beautiful.


Tension looms with Silver Rock’s fingers getting into everything, and Arrick’s ex and father both hovering on the periphery. Not to mention the school they both work for is falling apart, held together by sheer determination and duct tape, and the promise of money from Silver Rock.


And when life seems to be settling between them, Arrick becomes guardian to a baby brother he’s never met. Doing what’s right doesn’t mean it’s easy, and they’ll need to lean on each other even more to make it all work.


But damn, seeing two people fight for love makes it all the more beautiful.

Synopsis

For a year now the romance between Arrick Filan and Evan Miller has been going strong. Between rehearsals, running Ashland High, teaching, Arrick’s jealous ex, and a menagerie of pets at home, life is hectic and messy, but Evan decides to ask the question of questions anyway.


Everything seems perfect, until a sudden series of deaths uncovers a family secret in the form of Arrick's baby brother – a spare turned heir. Now the caretaker of the brother who was meant to replace him, Arrick and Evan must learn to navigate unfamiliar waters and how to keep their relationship intact.

REVIEW: All I Fear by Abrianna Denae (All's Fair #2)

  ALL I FEAR All’s Fair - Book Two by Abrianna Denae Release Date: September 19, 2023 Review protective, possessive and violent men.  Tennant and Hollis are an incredible pair. Kinky in the wildest way, they are everything and I adored them (even if slightly disturbed too).   Roman is heir to the Amato family and Tennant, as second in command, must shape him into the man he needs to be to one day takeover. Roman is a bit bratty and wild. Truthfully I don’t really care for him, but he certainly makes for an interesting dynamic to both Tennent and Hollis’ lives. I also love the addition of the odd chapter by other people’s view points, it adds a really interesting dynamic and keeps you tied to all the characters in the series.

He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...

REVIEW: Percolation Play by Katherine McIntyre (Leather and Lattes #3)

  PERCOLATION PLAY Leather and Lattes - Book Three by Katherine McIntyre Release Date: March 25, 2025 Review Kai is starting over. Leaving Colliers Creek behind, and all the people who know him possibly too well. It’s a chance to explore things that weren’t previously possible. Namely his bisexuality and interest in kink. Through his exploration, he meets Ezra and Sloan, two men who carry a common trauma. All three of them are missing that feeling of being seen and loved for who they are in the here and now. It’s a touching story of three men finding themselves with each other, mixed with a bit of danger and suspense. Which is a great way to highlight the incredible family that Whipped has created. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Kai’s new to bisexuality, new to the area, and new to the scene, but when he stumbles onto wild chemistry with not one man but two…he’s in for the ride of a lifetime. When Kai signs up for a class at Whipped, he never expected attraction to fl...
