Oh this was a treat! Motorcycle Club President Nanny Plus size rep Give me MORE!!! Rafael is a grumbly Motorcycle club president. He's grumpy, but a lot is simmering under his surface. When he suddenly finds himself with custody of his baby nephew, he needs a nanny. He was not expecting Omari. Omari is EVERYTHING. These two were absolutely fire. Big Raf was everything I love in a growly mc and Omari was everything I love about a sunshine mc. The plot was plotting so hard, and never having read the previous books didn't hinder the experience at all. This motorcycle club was off the rails with drama... it was entertaining af. I love that Omari was ✨️chubby✨️ and I kove that Raf was HERE FOR IT.

I'm so excited about this book! I love a good hockey romance, and Riley never lets me down. December 4th isn't too far away! See how good this sounds?! 💜💜 Hayes  Proposing to my first boyfriend at a hockey game wasn’t my smartest move. Not only does said boyfriend walk out on me, but the whole stupid thing goes viral, and it turns out the man I was dating has too many boyfriends to count. Internet fame has crowned me a member of the Jilted Exes’ Club, a name I’d do anything to escape.  One thing’s for sure: I’m not making the same mistake again. No more boyfriends, just easy hookups. And I’ll start with this gorgeous catch in Seattle. The only problem…he’s a god in bed, and I’m an inexperienced mess.  💜💜 Rylan  After a night with Hayes, I play some of the best games of my career. It’s meant to be a one-and-done deal, but when I find out he also lives in LA and doesn’t want anything serious, I see an opportunity.  Hayes wants experience. I want my good-luck c...

If you're looking for low angst high swoon - with COWBOYS 👀 look no further. For real, I swooned so hard I almost fell over. Ash and Jackson are DARLING. I loved them so so so much. The gruff but super soft and sweet cowboy. The bright sunshiney smiley new guy. The humming & singing. The damned donkey. The entire Darling family. Everything in this book screamed romance and idyllic. These two characters were obviously made for each other. I adored them. I obviously can't spoil the story, I went in blind and want you too as well. Needless to say, I need so many more Darling brother books. We know where Colt will end up, and I'm thinking I know Lawson's intended... but Remi... he's a mystery. I loved every moment with him. Ash was wonderful. I loved his quirks, and the figurine, and the honest & frank way he approached things. His feelings. His chronic pain. Jackson was a big hearted cowboy with kindness & a thoughtfulness as big as the sky. Wh...

My heart. She's killed me! I'm d-e-a-d. I knew going in that Dear Rosie would be amazing, and I was thrilled to be proven correct. SJ Tilly remains a favorite autoread author for me. Nathan and Rosie are childhood besties, and Nathan is the bright spot in Rosie's life. But suddenly, when she's eight years old, Nathan has to move away. Two and a half decades later, Nate shows up to his bffs party and has an instant attraction to the ------, which just happens to be Rosalyn. She recognizes him instantly, but he doesn't remember her. That is literally all i can say because I will not spoil this for you. But oh my god, the FEELS. I cried so many times, right along with the mcs. And the spice. 🤯🌶😱🥵 Jesus. As much as I loved this love story, Charles was my favorite. If you know, you know. If you're looking for an exfootball player/curvy queen, second chance, and literally so much more - this book was amazing. And the perfect addition to the Love Letters series. I ...

On the Edge is the next installment in Annabeth Albert's Mount Hope series. Y'all, we are talking about low drama dad's best friend romance. Declan is a motocross rider and gets hurt during a race. Not wanting to go home to his dad's place, he moves into the "big house" and slowly over time grows closer and closer to Jonas, his dad's best friend. This book is low angst and deals a lot with internalized homophobia and struggling to come out. This is a wonderful found family series, and seeing these queer first responders & helpers fall in love is an absolute treat. I'm excited for Eric's story and to be sucked back into all the drama the teens create. ON THE EDGE is out tomorrow! And all the other Mount Hope books and the novella are available now if you're wanting to read about a fire chief or a football coach or an emt  or an overworked nurse practioner 😂😂😂 there's lots of falling in love happening in Mount Hope. 

I think it's pretty safe to say, I love a Leslie McAdam story. Recently she put her entire IOU series up for free on amazon, and I swooped in like a bird of prey. I definitely started out of order, because CURIOUS sounded the most appealing at the moment. A contractor and a receptionist fake marry for insurance but fall in love along the way. You get a bi awakening and an mc who doesn't feel worthy of love, but learns that he is. Camden and Shelby were absolutely lovely. Camden is the sweetest man in the world, and Shelby is so tenderhearted. I loved them together and their story was this side if heartwrenching. Shelby went through A LOT in his life and if a ever there was a character who needed a good HEA, it was him - and I'm so glad that Camden was there to love him. Loved this story, love this universe too. I'm excited to read the rest of the books!

Earlier this month, I read ✨️and loved!✨️ Part-time Daddy by B Harmony. There's a moment when the mcs mention Eric & Daddy Sawyer. This was their book! Perfect if you're jonesing for older boy/ younger daddy with age play. There's all kinds of kink happening between our mcs and also their extended friend groups *separately, not together*. Not to mention, the club, The Garden! Eric is about to give up in ever finding a Daddy. He's older and not what most daddy's are looking for. His bff asks him to give it one more chance. Sawyer is suffering with ptsd & loss from.his time overseas as a Marine. He doesn't feel like he can be the Daddy he wants to be any longer - worried he's too broken & too scary for Littles. His bff makes a deal, one more outing to the club, and he will never ask again. The stage is set. Eric and Sawyer meet and it's instant chemistry. Their kinks align, and their relationship blasts off. There's a lot of big feelin...
