  BROKERED BETRAYALS Sawyer and Royce: Felonies and Fatherhood - Book Three by Aimee Nicole Walker Release Date: December 16, 2025 Review A delightful ending for Royce and Sawyer. It’s a cute story, our boys becoming fathers. And there’s plenty of love and humour, as you expect from them. I’m going to miss them. But these two softees will be amazing fathers. This is very heavy on the day-to-day life of child rearing, with only a hint of crime/mystery/suspense, which I would have loved to see more of. But we did get to see a cast of characters we love. Hey, maybe we’ll get another series of them. I feel like I would about them well into grandpa-hood. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Years of dreaming. Nine months of preparing.

  HUSBAND OF THE YEAR Teachers In Love - Book Four by MA Wardell Release Date: November 18, 2025 Review Incredible! MA Wardell has such a skill for writing. It flows beautifully, and it keeps you glued to the page. His characters are loving, kind people with flaws that only you love for them more. Two years in, Marvin and Olan are still madly in love, a happy family successfully co-parenting Ilona with Olan’s ex-wife, and now they are planning a wedding.  It sounds idyllic. But real life is never perfect, and families can be complicated, so when life throws a wrench in your way, you either crumble or step up. Sometimes it can feel like both may happen.  Husband of the Year is full of emotion, tender and hard,  and along the way, they have to make the decision to choose love, not just expect it. They are a gorgeous pair who are formidable when they communicate and work together. And Ilona is special. Seriously, they are a wonderful family (immediate and extended), and...

  A SUGAR PINE CHRISTMAS Single Dads All the Way - Book One by AD Ellis Release Date: November 4, 2025 Review A second chance wrapped up in holiday goodness and a project to help save their small town. It’s a pretty sweet story. Mattie and Sam had the potential for something, but life happened. Now, with a bit of meddling, they have the chance to finally find out what they could be. They are both good guys who deserve to find something special. As they navigate their reunion they also join forces to bring a renewed sense of community to their small town, mixed with some fun interactions with Sam’s nephew. Whom he raises part-time with his sister when she’s on deployment. I really liked the nephew addition. He adds an element of focus for them to bond over, and he perfectly captures a teenager - sweet and distant in equal measure, and a little cheeky.
