I absolutely devoured this book. It’s the perfect blend of slow-burn tenderness, grown-up chemistry, and character depth—the kind of romance that feels both fresh and timeless. Campbell stole my heart from page one: a woman repeatedly underestimated, quietly carrying more weight than anyone realizes. Enter Durbin—the patient, steady cowboy who doesn’t fix her problems so…

Christmas with the Brotherhood by A.J. Downey | Book Review
Where to even begin. Let me start by saying this is a novella and is related to The Sacred Hearts MC. It is about the second generation and some time has passed since the last book. It is about Smoke (Sage, Maren’s younger brother that she was taking care of in Her Brother’s Keeper) and…
Summer at the Scottish Castle by Rachel Bowdler | Book Review
After a humiliating and very public divorce, Jessamine Byron—Countess of Cheshire—escapes to the one place that has always felt like hers: Rosemire Castle in the Scottish Highlands. Though still open as part of a touring association, the castle includes her own private quarters, giving Jess the space she needs to breathe again. When she meets…
Deadly Director’s Cut by Vicki Delany | Book Review
This is the second book in the Catskill Summer Resort Mysteries, and although it’s my first time reading Vicki Delany’s series, I had no trouble jumping right into the drama of Haggerman’s Resort. Elizabeth, the ever-capable resort manager, is once again juggling demanding guests, unpredictable staff, and—this time—a full film production taking over the grounds….

Forced Proximity by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review
From the first page, I knew this book would wreck me in the best possible way. It’s deeply emotional, breathtakingly romantic, and layered with that signature Lani Lynn Vale mix of grit, heart, and humor. This is the kind of story that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. The main character—who’s…
Until Nalia by Aurora Rose Reynolds | Book Review
After more than a decade of following the Mayson family, Until Nalia feels like both a love letter and a homecoming. From the very first boom with November and Asher to this final, beautiful story with Nalia and Logan, Aurora Rose Reynolds has given readers one of the most heartfelt, romantic, and enduring family sagas…
The Little French Bookshop by Cecile Pivot | Book Review
I really wanted to love this book. As soon as I saw the premise—a bookshop owner starting a letter-writing workshop to bring people together—I thought it sounded like the perfect cozy, heartfelt read. The idea of finding community through letters, especially after loss, is such a beautiful one. Unfortunately, while the concept is wonderful, the…
Woden’s Storm by Donovan Cook | Book Review
This is the first book I’ve read in this series, and while Woden’s Storm is technically the second installment, I found it engaging and easy enough to follow on its own. The story wastes no time in pulling readers into the complex interplay between men and gods, belief and power, and the constantly changing political…
Holiday Unscripted by Natasha Madison | Book Review
I had the best time with this book! It’s everything I want in a cozy, feel-good holiday romance—sharp banter, emotional depth, and chemistry that practically jumps off the page. From the very first chapter, I was smiling like an idiot and didn’t stop until I reached the last page. Elizabeth returns home for her brother’s…
