A series rewatch & a reread

4.5 ⭐️

Determined to go into this Shane and Ilya thing a hater, because the hype, I can say I get it. The hype. It was a good story.

Well, Ilya can get it.
Hot Russians with big feelings.
Yes please.

12/26/25 reread after I watched the first season of Heated Rivalry. Still amazing.

The mental health journey.
The plane.
The therapist. 
The ig account.

It's everything.

A Midsummer Night's Fling: Kelly Fox

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S FLING was a shortie little novella that was available for the prolific works summer freebie giveaway. I scooped this one up so fast because you know Kelly Fox is an autobuy author for me.  First off, the idea for this story is epic. There are two conventions in the same hotel, and they very obviously do not go together. CHEF'S KISS. We were lucky to be blessed with the gym bros and the literature nerds.  All hail the impeccable jock/nerd trope. It's such a wonderful & classic choice. Always hits the spot like a diet coke on a summer day.  And Kelly Fox did not miss. There was a lot of story packed into 93 pages.  Gavin, our Shakespeare nerd, has an intense insta-lusty-eye contact vibe with Kai, the bulky & well-off gym bro-ey guy he ends up sharing an elevator with. And oh, their rooms are right next to each other. And oh! Let's go get tacos, and you can ride in my Maserati... sigh. It's what romance novellas are made of.  So, the che...

Kiss My Axe: May Archer

This book was perfection. May Archer always finds a way to make her stories so incredibly heartwarming and hilarious. KISS MY AXE had me laughing and crying (they were happy tears.) Big moments and an entire cast of characters kept me enjoying the story, but the romance between Griffin and Beckett ... ✨️sighs dreamily✨️ these two were absolutely wonderful. How to share without giving away the story? • adorable "enemies" to rivals to lovers • quirky town and gossiping residents • THEMES and puns galore • a set of brothers who will find love • city boy marketing man/small town lumberjack • magical tree houses • matchmakers • town festivals • big moments • adventurous sex I am not kidding about the magical tree house. Beckett is a grown man but he is also a disaster gay. 😂😂😂 the man is an absolute mess and Griffin turns him into a lunatic. Griffin knew he was in trouble before Milo even left Vermont. Becoming dickmatized is a thing, Taylor Swift even wrote about it. Kiss My A...
