Not Guilty of Books

  THE FLOWER ARRANGEMENT Pursuit of Love - Book One by KC Carmine Release Date: October 7, 2024 Review A pretty quick read, full of longing, heat, and plenty of fun and swoony moments. It’s a great little story, and I’m always a sucker for a florist romance.  They always bring the swoon. I also enjoy that these are more mature characters. Romance built on life experience always hits different.

  BETWEEN THE PIPES The Games We Play - Season Two by Kate Bauer Release Date: January 2, 2026 Review Between the Pipes is a short MMM romance.  The shortness makes doing MMM even harder - trying to develop three characters in a novella is tricky. So while I did enjoy the book and the characters, it felt like it was missing some meat to the story. The mix of men is fun, and I enjoyed their varying journeys and life experiences. I made them an interesting blend and gave them many ways to connect and support each other.

  HOT CHICKEN Sunday Brothers - Book Six by May Archer Release Date: September 9, 2025 Review Such a fun glimpse back into the lives of a favourite series. These are fun and light, with plenty of great humour. The Sunday brothers are unbelievably lovely and caring, despite their ridiculous shenanigans, and incredibly loyal to their loved ones. I definitely recommend this book for a pick-me-up. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Once upon a time, in the town of Little Pippin Hollow, Vermont, Hawk Sunday spotted a silly ceramic rooster on a crowded table at the Annual Craft and Rummage Sale… and a whole flock of hot Sunday summer shenanigans ensued!
