I stumbled across Lilah Raine by complete fluke. Her novel bad duke kept popping up on my feeds and I thought it sounded good. But then it completely took over my head until I picked it up and I was obsessed. So naturally I stalked the author and unfortunately for me she's a fairly new author, so I've read everything she's published so far and promptly went to beg to read this.

 

I need to say that it's very high on the breeding kink. I want to say it's pure smut, but it actually had a fairly decent storyline between all the dirty talking. It was completely insta lust turned happily ever after. But Lilah did a great job of twisting a fair bit of intrigue in there. Without it being too over the top, just the right amount.

 

Jace and Maddison were immediately all about each other. Jace was an uber possessive and protective, morally grey, tattooed cowboy. And Maddison was a completely spoilt, useless, pampered princess. The secondary characters are all interesting and since this ended with so many loose threads, I'm assuming that we are going to be getting much more of them in the future.  Hopefully the very near future.

Standalone Holiday Romance

BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new grumpy-sunshine standalone holiday romance

Blakely

When my boss tells me I’m taking over the planning of the annual Christmas gala, I can barely contain my excitement. Not only is it a huge opportunity, but I also love all things Christmas.

I’m on cloud nine until I realize I have to work closely with the grumpy doctor, who is my opposite in every way. He loathes the holidays. At least that’s what he says. His eyes tell me a different story.

That’s why I make it my mission to make him fall in love with Christmas. That’s our family motto after all. I’ll make him love the holidays harder than ever before. How hard can it be?


Oliver

My contract states I have to serve on a committee. When I fail to submit which committee I’d like to work on, I’m assigned the Christmas gala. Me… the guy who detests the holiday.

In years past, I let the marketing manager handle it all. I was there if she needed me. She never did. I expected more of the same this year, but it turns out, I get more than I bargained for. I didn’t anticipate her. Miss Ray of Sunshine, assistant manager.

That’s how I find myself attending holiday events and attaching myself to her any way I can. She’s trying to make me fall in love with Christmas. Instead, I’m falling in love with her.

I have this weird relationship with Rebecca Yarros's novels. See as an author Rebecca is amazing. Her stories are absolutely beyond compare and her characters are so perfectly real I immediately fall in love with them. But in every single book I break while I read it and by the time I put it down I've been rebuilt with a tiny piece being left behind in the pages. And so, I always need to find “the right time” to read them. But in our house that just never occurs.

 

But for this book, all the stars aligned. My awesome hubby and I had 4 beautiful days, kid free in Bali for my birthday. So, I read this poolside in paradise and fell madly in love with Allie and Hudson. And every other character in this beautiful story.

 

Allie and Hudson had literally everything working against them. And when they are thrown together 10 years after being torn apart all the secrets are forced to light. And I seriously didn't see half of those twists and turns coming. But watching them come through the flames and get a beautiful happily ever after had me putting down my kindle with so much happiness.

Trash the Dress by A.B. Medley
Release Boost

One woman’s trashed dress is another man’s gift.

Scarlett Shepard knows something is off. With her wedding day fast approaching, she chalks it up to nerves. But when her fiancé’s mistress stands up and objects at the ceremony, the wedding is definitely off.


Before she can get herself out of the church, her gaze connects with Zander Bailey, her grumpy but hot photographer hired by the groom’s family. Much to her surprise, he follows her outside with a proposal of his own.


A photoshoot—to trash her dress.


Accepting his offer, she tries to remain lighthearted in the wake of the heartbreak weighing her down, and suddenly this fun distraction turns into a not-so-innocent night of passion between them.


Weeks later, when what Scarlett believed to be food poisoning turns out to be a surprise neither of them expected, they are both forced to reconcile their past and their own jaded hearts to become parents.


Scarlett won’t accept Zander’s affection out of obligation or a sense of duty, which forces him to face a deep-rooted fear he hasn’t vocalized—his love not being enough.

Can Scarlett and Zander choose love when there are three hearts at stake?


Trash the Dress is a standalone. Grumpy/sunshine vibes. Surprise pregnancy. Happily-ever-after.

Picking up this book was 110% a no brainer. I can't get enough of Sarina Bowen, but to get a true north novella is just the cherry on top. I will admit to a little bit of disappointment when I realised that the of the 3 stories in this edition only 1 was new. But I got over it as soon as I picked it up because omg we get more true north.

 

This is the first time in years that I've read a story in third person, and I thought I might struggle with that. But by the second page I was too busy asking what are you going to do next Damien? And being completely smitten by both him and Nicolette.

 

The passing of years had me a little impatient and I can completely see why this book is called crossroads with the number of times these guys paths crossed. I was dying for each meeting to be the time all that insane chemistry came to a head. And then it would pass, and I'd deflate a little. I literally felt like I was holding my breath for half the book, and I didn't want to put it down. Luckily it was a novella.

 

When they finally got on the same pages it was sweet and cute and so perfect. Followed by hot as hell. My only complaint is that it was a novella, and I want so much more. More of his family, more of them together, more of her family falling off a cliff and a certain someone being hit by a bus. But that's always how I feel when I put down a Sarina Bowen novel so now, I just have to wait for her next book.

Title: Are You Ready?
Series: Everlasting Ink #3
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Small Town/Age Gap/Tattoo Artist
Single Mom
Release Date: November 12, 2024




BLURB

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you the continuation of the stand-alone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. "Are You Ready?” is an age gap, single mom, found family, small-town romance.

Forrest

The moment I met Briar, I couldn't stay away. She's my sister's friend, but that didn’t stop me. Especially after her daughters stole twin pieces of me.

I might have inked her flawless skin, but she’s the one under mine. Something about her draws me in, even when she pushes me away.

Every time we’re together, it feels like I’m home. I want to give her my heart, my time, and my love—not just to her but to her daughters too. I’ll do whatever it takes to prove I’m the man they can depend on.


Briar

I never thought I’d fall in love again, not after everything I’ve been through. Then Forrest walked into my life, turning everything upside down.

He’s tough on the outside—with his tattoos and confidence—but underneath, he’s gentle, patient, and kind—especially with my girls. He shows he cares in small, consistent ways, even letting the twins paint his nails, making them sparkle.

The fact that they adore him scares me, because it’s not just my heart at risk if he leaves. I love him more than I’ve let myself believe. But now, I’m ready to admit it—to him and myself. The next time he asks me, I’ll be ready.

These Everlasting Ink guys just keep getting better and better. I don't know how Kaylee Ryan does it, but each book has these guys getting sweeter and sexier in the same breath.

 

Although that said Forrest has had the whole daddy energy from the very beginning. So, it really wasn't a surprise seeing him step up to be the perfect step daddy to two adorable little girls. While also being completely swoon worthy and beyond sexy and sweet and just all around perfect.

 

The way this story started I was heartbroken for Briar. But she was far from broken and watching her join the Everlasting Ink family and come out of her shell was beautiful. She had been through so much and deserved everything that Forrest was just dying to give her.

 

As usual I went through all the feels and couldn't get enough of Briar and Forrest along with River and Rayne. I could happily spend days with this found family and I can't wait to see the other guys get their happily ever after.

This series is complete catnip for me. I don't know how to even explain how it hits every one of my reading kinks before I even realise I have them. And each book is so different, but all of these guys are so completely the same slightly unhinged perfection.

 

Camden was a little less full on in the psycho department, but then it worked for a guy with nick names of hero and grandpappy. He still had the instant lightning bolt obsession and the completely over the top jealousy and possessiveness I would expect from a circle of trust member. 

 

Anastasia made me so glad that she had Camden to slay all her dragons. Because if ever there was a character who needed a hero, she was it. Everything about her story broke my heart. And seeing her fight and struggle and work so hard I couldn't help but admire her. But I admired her even more when she finally realised she wasn't fighting alone and let Camden help her shoulder the weight.

 

Now the only downside to having read this is the fact we have to wait to get Logan's book.

Forever Wild by Rebecca Jenshak is now live!


 

The annoyingly handsome hockey captain glaring at me needs my help.

He won’t admit that, of course. But with his teammate’s gone for the summer and him fresh off a season-ending injury, someone has to keep him in check and it’s not the nurses he keeps running off.

I’m having one last summer of fun before I move away to start my first grown-up job, and I seem to be the only woman on the planet immune to his charm. Sure, I’ve noticed his chiseled jaw and sculpted muscles (Did I mention he’s annoyingly handsome?), but I have too much self-preservation to fall for a grumpy hockey star who can have any woman he wants and doesn’t do serious relationships.

Except once he lets me help him, I see past his broody exterior and jerk comments and I realize something terrible. I want him.

Now I just need to convince him to throw out all his rules for a fling with his teammate’s little sister.
