THE HONOR SOCIETY
Rachel Van Dyken
Release Date: September 30
Charlie knows three things for certain.
She shot Axel.
He survived.
And somehow, he doesn’t remember she was the one who pulled the trigger.
It should be a relief.
Instead, the man she’s secretly loved for years feels different. Colder. More dangerous. Axel still smiles, still flirts, still looks at her like he might remember exactly how good they were together—but there are pieces of him she’s never seen before.
Secrets beneath the jokes.
Blood beneath the charm.
And a darkness he’s very, very good at hiding.
Because Axel remembers everything.
The bullet.
The betrayal.
The woman he still can’t stop wanting.
What Charlie doesn’t know is that Axel has spent years living two lives. In one, he’s the reckless man everyone underestimates.
In the other, he wears a mask.
The Proctor.
Judge. Jury. Executioner.
With the Convocation approaching, four powerful families are preparing to fight for control of the Honor Society, and someone is willing to wipe out entire bloodlines to take it. They need two things to win:
The Ledger.
And the Proctor.
Axel has both.
Now he has eighteen days to discover who is hunting him, keep Charlie alive, and stop a war without revealing the one secret that could destroy them both.
Because Charlie is searching for the Proctor too.
She just doesn’t know she’s already falling for him.
Again.

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.
So Conrad I am well acquainted with from the last 2 books. And his nervousness around women made him so endearing. Here he is this famous athlete, who all our previous heroines have made mention of his beauty and he literally can't put a sentence together around women. I couldn't wait to get his POV and back story and it didn't disappoint.
Whitney was a new to us character but i loved her from the beginning. She was so baffled by Conrad's behaviour on their date but she didn't take it onboard as her issue. And she wasn't afraid to call it out or to give him another chance when he tried to explain the problem.
The two of them together were sweet and hot and their couple's journey was fun to watch. It felt real and natural and I was so invested in them. I wasn't sure how the whole Victor thing was going to play out but even that felt authentic. It wasn't perfect, but it felt realistic.
Overall, I couldn't be happier, except for if the other books were available so I could just keep right on with the Moonshot boys. And then maybe throw in Victor's book just to keep the party going.

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.

Release Day: September 22, 2026
Blurb:
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.

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.

Duet Narration by: Samantha Brentmoor & Shane East

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.

UNEXPECTED PLAY
Alexa Padgett
Release Date: September 21
He's my brother's best friend. My new neighbor. And the Providence Forge defenseman who makes me forget I was ever broken.
Coming home to Providence was supposed to be temporary while I finished my master's degree and helped at my family's architecture firm.
I planned to raise my daughter in peace after my ex-fiancé walked away before she was even born.
Then Ryder Mackay moved in next door. The gorgeous pediatrician and part-time Forge enforcer has always been off-limits. He's loyal, steady, and the kind of man who shows up without being asked. Which is exactly why falling for him is such a terrible idea.
Because every time Ryder holds my baby like she belongs in his arms…every time he looks at me like I'm worth more than the wreckage I'm still climbing out of…I start wanting things I swore I'd never risk again: a future and a family. Him.
But Ryder's spent years protecting everyone around him while ignoring what he wants for himself, and if we're not careful, the timing that brought us together might be the very thing that tears us apart.
Previously published as Magnetic Medic, Unexpected Play is a steamy brother's-best-friend hockey romance featuring a protective hero, a single mother rebuilding her life on her own terms, forced proximity, emotional healing, and a fiercely earned happily ever after. Books in the Providence Forge Series can be read standalone — but reading in order deepens the world.

I received a copy of this front netgalley and I was super excited because that blurb was screaming “read me now.” And then I realised how quickly I had to read this, followed by oh crap this is book 3 in the series, and I haven't read book 2. So, I picked up book 2, because my fomo made me.
Full disclosure, I didn't love book 1, which I hate for me, but I find Sara Ney very hit and miss. But I will always read them because I either love them or am a little ambivalent, but I never hate them. Anyway book 2 I liked more than book 1 and book 4 I was loving. Thought for sure it was my favourite and I knew where it was going then if just kind of slowly sailed off a cliff.
Layla and Hayes had wicked hot chemistry and I loved their interactions. It felt natural and flirty and so fun. And then you've got Benny and I couldn't get enough of her. She was the perfect 9 year old and damn did she remind me of my girls. She knew what her dad needed, she knew what she wanted and she had decided Layla fit the bill.
And like I said I had thoughts on where this was going. I was just wrong and the direction it did go I didn't love. I don't necessarily have anything against the detour this took, I just didn't feel it. And it pulled me out of the lust fog I was feeling with Hayes and Layla and I wasn't ready.
On a side note book 1 and 2 felt like the same series, book 3 felt like a standalone that didn't have much to do with the previous 2. So I really didn't need to read book 2 before this but here we are.
Forever After Fall is NOW LIVE
BLURB:
One little mistake tangles me up with a sexy stranger in a dark room. Not that I’m complaining. It’s the most fun I’ve had in forever. At least until the lights come on and I see the single dad, my best friend’s older brother and my sister’s widower, standing in his place.
He’s grumpy as hell when he realizes our mistake, and even grumpier when he finds out the two of us are stuck together for the foreseeable future setting up the fall festival at the family ranch.
Meanwhile, I’m trying to figure out how the man from that night is the same steadfast workaholic who eats the food I cook in silence and barely grunts when I thank him for his latest handyman miracle at my house.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t stop thinking about that night. Especially not when we’re working side by side for long hours every day planning romantic hayrides and decorating a haunted house. When I finally admit as much in a moment of weakness. we’re both making confessions that have my heart pounding.
So what if we finish what we started? A secret friends with benefits agreement that expires at midnight on Halloween. Because if we can just get it out of our minds, we can go back to business as usual. No one ever has to know.
But I’m not ready for all the secrets I uncover playing this game or for the way this man makes me feel.
And neither of us are prepared for just how haunted the house turns out to be.
What to Expect:
Best friend's older brother
Single dad
Widower x SIL
Grumpy x Sunshine
Secret friends with benefits
Small town holiday
Forced proximity
Touch her and die
Western small town
