  HIS ETERNAL TEMPTATION Bound in Blood - Book One by Colette Rivera Release Date: August 3, 2026 Review Really great storyline. Super creative and engaging, and I enjoyed the enemies-bound-together vibes. I’m still new to Colette’s Shearwater Landing world, but I’m quite happy to have ‘discovered’ it. Lane and Rowan had a chance, then misunderstanding and a complicated world that imbues a lack of trust led to falling out.  Until Lane stumbles back in, and Rowan can’t get rid of him, no matter how much he wants to. But does he really want to?? LOL With multiple problems brewing and an inescapable bond, they give us an entertaining romance.

Rowan Valero rules Shearwater Landing. Some see him as a ruthless vampire, others as a protector of the disadvantaged. In order to be both, Rowan must know his enemies from his f...

  SONG OF THE WREN Heart of the Wren - Book Two by Glenn Quigley Release Date: October 15, 2026 Review There is something hypnotic about this Irish witchy-fable romance.  I absolutely love learning some of the stories and myths; it’s why I love reading authors from around the world. You don’t just get a delicious romance, but also some worldly flavour. This is book two for Dara and Lorcan.  Lorcan had never really ventured from his small, deeply religious town, until Dara. And since book one, they’ve living their best campervan life. But they’re back where it all started for a wedding. And while we get to see how they are doing, witness their relationship continue to grow, we also get some fun witchiness that seems determined to disrupt it. Glenn’s style feels real, especially in the relationship. It’s not all swoon and roses, it’s questioning, talking, working through real life issues. Which makes you invest in them. Makes it satisfying. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LI...

  THE BAKER AND THE KRAKEN Celebrations with Mythical Mates - Book One by Ellie Ash Release Date: September 11, 2026 Review A reminder that hate and fear are taught and a good friend can snap you out of such ridiculousness. Adam is a witch and a baker who is talented but also extremely clumsy! Which is definitely not helped by the hot guy watching him across the room. Calder immediately knows who Adam is to him, but I love that he courts him, that it isn’t an insta-love relationship. They took their time to fall in love, time for Adam to believe someone could love every clumsy inch of him. It’s a really cute story and a lot of fun.
