HOME ICE

by Saxon James

Release Date: June 25, 2026

Review

Such a great story! Best friends, second-chance, turned lovers, with a side of surprise, you have a kid!


I love a best friend's second chance story, the hurt, forgiveness, learning to love again. And this has it in spades. All because Jensen has come home after discovering he has a teenage son.  The awkwardness, the rollercoaster of emotions, and watching his son come around to accepting Jensen.  Loved it.


And Tai, learning to ask for more, seek out happiness…so satisfying.


The way these two build a relationship and life is exactly what I’m looking for in a romance.

Synopsis

TAI

Ten years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life.

When Hawke left for the NHL and my hockey dreams went up in smoke, I ghosted my best and longest friend. It made sense at the time, but there hasn’t been a day where I haven’t missed him.

So when we run into each other again, and his only response is “Do I know you?”, I know I deserve it. But I refuse to let one mistake keep us apart forever. Especially when he has bigger problems, and I’m in a position to help him.

JENSEN

All I wanted this offseason was to spend my time relaxing–not getting an emergency phone call from Mom to come home. My hometown is full of too many memories of me and Tai so I avoid returning there as much as I can.

But now I have one more memory to add to the list: my high school girlfriend.

And the kid we apparently had together.

Kasen hates me and thinks I abandoned them, and my only way to get to him is through his coach. My ex-best friend. The friend that has been impossible to forget. No matter how much I’ve tried.

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 Quiet, a little grumpy, a little withdrawn, and maybe a little lost and lonely.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....

  SWEET LIKE WHISKEY The Darling Brothers - Book One by Emmy Sanders Release Date: October 24, 2024 Audible Release Date: May 2, 2025 Review The story alone is wonderful, but the story with Kale Williams' narration is absolute perfection. Seriously, I could listen to this one over and over. I love me a grumpy cowboy. Seriously, they are my kryptonite. If you ever hear me announce I’m moving to the country, it’ll be for that reason!! Jackson is the quiet caretaker of the family. The one who would do anything for them. He’s thoughtful and patient. And definitely not prepared for Ash. The wayward man who’s found his fresh start on the ranch. Ash is bright and lovely. When he takes the job, he doesn’t expect to love it, but it, the ranch, and countryside are perfect for him. I love them together, the way they come together and build something solid.  But I also really just love this family of brothers. So different, but also cut from the same cloth, and tight the way ranch boys ar...

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. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Tennant Mason is the Amato Family’s Second in Command. He’s calculating and lethal, his antisocial personality disorder provides him with the perfect tools for the Amatos to turn him into their deadlie...
