📚 2026 REVIEW CALENDAR CLOSED 📚 First, a huge tha 📚 2026 REVIEW CALENDAR CLOSED 📚 First, a huge thank you to every author who has reached out to me about reviewing their book this year. I truly wish I could say yes to every single request that lands in my inbox, but there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to read them all and give each book the time it deserves. So, what does “calendar closed” actually mean? I am still accepting a small number of 2026 review requests. If your book doesn’t have a firm review deadline or you’re flexible about when the review goes live, please feel free to reach out. I may be able to work it into my schedule, or we can look at moving it into early next year. 📖 2027 review requests are now open, so you are more than welcome to send those my way as well. I am also still participating in book tours, street teams, release promotions, cover reveals, and other bookish events. I just have to be a little more selective about anything that requires me to read and review the full book so I can make sure I actually have enough time to do it. We only have four months left in 2026, which seems absolutely ridiculous to say, and the holiday season will be here before we know it. My available reading and review time gets tighter during those last couple of months, so I would rather close the calendar now than overbook myself and rush through books later. Thank you so much for continuing to think of me, send me your books, and invite me to be part of your releases. 💜 Quick version: 📚 2026 Review Calendar: CLOSED 📚 Flexible 2026 Requests: LIMITED 📚 2027 Review Requests: OPEN 📚 Tours & Street Teams: OPEN

𝑩𝑳𝑼𝑹𝑩: Wildhaven is anything but predictable, so it shouldn’t be surprising when the town’s notorious playboy proposes to the woman who seems to hate him the most. Chase Wild doesn’t believe in happily ever after. Abigail Bennett doesn’t believe in relying on anyone but herself. Yet when Chase offers Abi a marriage of convenience, it solves both their problems: Chase proves to his family that he’s capable of stability. Abi gets a place to live and the health insurance she desperately needs. The rules are simple: no unnecessary touching and definitely no falling in love. But as buried secrets surface inside the Wild family empire, Chase and Abi find themselves caught in a dangerous web of betrayal and unanswered questions. And when everything they’ve built together is put to the test, they’ll have to decide whether uncovering the truth is worth losing the one thing they never meant to find.

Ford Briggs has been secretly in love with his bes Ford Briggs has been secretly in love with his best friend's girlfriend and knows perfectly well he can't have her. Until that best friend turns out to be a cheating idiot. Nail Me Down kicks off Lana Piers' new Lit Creek Blue Collar Boys series, and Ford was exactly the kind of hero I wanted. He's a contractor, protective as all get-out, quietly obsessed with Holly, and very good at showing her exactly how he feels once he finally gets his chance. Things move quickly, but this is a novella and Ford and Holly already have a friendship underneath all that attraction. I wasn't interested in watching them spend another six months pretending they didn't want each other anyway. 😂 💘 Boyfriend's Best Friend 🛠️ Blue-Collar Hero ❤️ He Falls First 🔥 Protective & Obsessed MMC 🏡 Small-Town Romance 🏠 Forced Proximity 🩹 Hurt / Comfort 🌶️ Emotional Spice 🖤 Possessive Hero Energy Lana Piers is already a favorite of mine, and apparently I'm adding the Lit Creek Blue Collar Boys to the list of series I need to keep up with. ☕ Continue the conversation: I'm talking more about Ford, Holly, and why their fast-moving romance completely worked for me in my full review. You'll find it through the Book Buzz link in my bio.
