I feel like I need to preface this with the fact I love Rebecca Jenshak's writing and I was anxiously awaiting Lucky Shot. Then it released and the blurb just didn't work for me and despite the fact I grabbed it on release day from KU it just kept slipping down my TBR. Then I saw the tropes and teasers for this and HAD to read it. When I realised it was book 3 I knew I had to read the others first so I've had a nice little binge read.

BLURB

Ellis Renwick and I are barely more than acquaintances—connected only by mutual friends and the endorsement deal I signed with her company. Her baby isn’t mine, and minding my own business should be easy.

But when the baby’s father walks away, I step up. Raised by a single mom, I know the weight Ellis is about to carry, and there is no way I’m letting her do it alone. But somewhere between midnight cravings, stolen kisses, and tiny heartbeats, the woman behind my endorsement deal becomes my whole world. Now I’m falling hopelessly in love with a future that was never meant to be mine.

When her father discovers I’m not the biological dad, he wants to expose the ex publicly, threatening to shatter the quiet haven Ellis and I have built. He wants justice from a ghost. But they've become mine to protect.

What her dad doesn’t understand is that her ex walked away …

But I never will.

Trying Not to Need You

Moran Sisters #2

Kaylee Ryan 

Release Day: September 22, 2026

From NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan comes a new standalone small-town series about four sisters finding love. Trying Not to Need You is a he-falls-first, opposites-attract romance featuring a retired bull rider and the woman he’s never stopped loving.

Baylor

I thought I was living my happily ever after.

But after five years in New York, building my life around a man who stopped choosing me, I realized our future was nothing more than a dream.

So I walked away.

From the city. From him. From the family I thought we’d build together.

Now I’m back in Magnolia Ridge with my sisters, trying to figure out who I am without the life I planned.

I didn’t come home looking for love.

But somehow, love has been waiting for me all along.

Macklin

I’ve loved Baylor Moran for years.

The timing was always wrong. Until now.

She’s back in Magnolia Ridge with a bruised heart and walls higher than ever. But that's okay. I'll be here when they’re ready to come down.

Baylor can take all the time she needs.

I’m not going anywhere.

And while she’s trying not to need me, I’ll keep loving her until she realizes she’s not falling apart anymore.

She’s finally falling—straight into the future we were always meant to have. 

Tropes:

Small Town

Opposites Attract

He Falls First

Retired Bull Rider

Childhood Crush

Ok seriously this has to be one of the sweetest books I have read in a while. I was kind of expecting a little bit of angst and drama after where we left off with Baylor in the last book. But it just didn't play out that way. And it was just sweetness and falling from the start.

Add in the fact I listened to the audio version and I wasn't able to put it down. The voices were perfect for the books and getting it in duet was awesome.

Anyway this book picked up from Ellison's baby shower with Baylor returning home. And like I mentioned, I expected Baylor to be sad about the circumstances she was returning home under. And that wasn't really the case, which was great. Because boom, along comes Macklin ready and waiting to shoot his shot.

And I couldn't get enough of Macklin. Every time I thought he couldn't get swoonier he went right along and proved me wrong. It was almost to the point where I had to sit back and wonder if his devotion was veering into creepy stalker territory. But then i realised if it was i didn't care, i am so here for it.

Baylor and Macklin were perfect and sweet and then very hot together and I devoured this in one sitting. I am loving the Moran sisters and I can't wait to see the next one fall.

Until I Remember by Karla Sorensen is now live!

She has no memory of choosing him. Her heart, apparently, didn’t get the memo.

I wake up in a hospital with a year of my life missing—and Grant Hastings at my bedside. I remember him, all right. He’s wealthy. Arrogant. British. And my late brother’s best friend. The last man I’d ever want to marry.

Except apparently I did.

Now I’m living in a beautiful house I don’t recognize, wearing a ring I don’t remember receiving, and expected to play the devoted wife while his aristocratic family, unaware of the gaps in my memory, descends for his birthday. Grant is patient and attentive, dropping hints about an explosive relationship that makes my pulse race. He’s nothing like the cold, haughty man I remember.

Torn between suspicion about this inconvenient marriage of convenience and an attraction to my husband I’m not ready to name, I have to make a choice: leave the past buried or trust Grant to help me find my way back to a life I can’t remember choosing.

The terrifying part? I’m starting to think past me knew exactly what she was doing.

When I saw a new book by this author, I absolutely had to get my hands on it. So, I signed up without reading the blurb and honestly, I'm not a fan of the whole amnesia trope. And then it landed on my kindle while my life is literally a chaotic little bag of cats and I  had a bit of trouble staying focused.

Needless to say, the first few pages I was wondering if I should admit defeat and try again later. Until suddenly I realised I couldn't put it down. I was so invested in both Grant and Mercy. And for the first half to two thirds of the book, we only got Mercy's POV. But the way Grant loved her just came through so vividly I was absolutely obsessed with him.

Mercy was so strong and so strong willed. Watching her struggle through her own life had me in tears a few times. But then we have the vision of Grant then and his actions now and Mercy trying to navigate her own memories and his feelings and god it was some really beautiful, talented writing.

Seriously, I could feel Grant's love for Mercy through the pages. And the angst was so real but in a comforting way, which makes no sense. This whole story was so superbly written that I feel as though I literally lived it with them.
