Apparently if you accidentally start a detective a Apparently if you accidentally start a detective agency, eventually people expect you to solve actual crimes. Who knew? 😂🔎 A woman believes her brother's death wasn't an accident. Her questions send Emersyn and Wyatt into the world of funeral homes, suspicious deaths, and undercover investigating. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out whether Emersyn actually wants to be a detective. She argues about the rules for becoming a PI, wants a say in everything, and then seems perfectly happy to let Wyatt and seventeen-year-old computer genius Theo handle the serious detective work. Until she throws herself headfirst into danger. That's also why she works in this strange little team. She's good with people and notices when something feels wrong. Theo has the computer skills. Wyatt has the investigative drive. Together, they're starting to look suspiciously like a real detective agency. The Deco Mirage crew is back too, and I love these people. Leona, Bitty, Jemma, Theo, and the rest have become a found family for Emersyn and Livvy, whether Emersyn knows what to do with all that help or not. I also appreciate that Sarah Fox hasn't forgotten Emersyn is grieving. She's raising her brother's daughter while still mourning him herself, and those feelings don't disappear just because there's another mystery to solve. And Wyatt? Sir, I see you. The slow burn is BURNING. The banter is still fun, but there's something softer underneath it now, especially after those kisses in the first book. I'm ridiculously invested in watching these two figure themselves out. 😂🔎 Rom-Com Mystery 🕵️‍♀️ Amateur Sleuths 📋 Fake Detective Agency Turned Real 🤝 Coworkers / Partners 💕 Slow-Burn Chemistry ⚰️ Funeral-Home Mystery 🤎 Found Family 🥸 Undercover Investigation I would read this series in order because the relationships, Emersyn's story, and everything happening with the Deco Mirage crew build from book one. And after some of the information we get toward the end, I'm already looking toward book three. #WeAreNeverEverSolvingThisMurder #NetGalley#WeAreNeverEverSolvingThisMurder #NetGalley
**I noticed my first image had an error so lets tr **I noticed my first image had an error so lets try this again** A marriage for health insurance and a little help convincing a board of directors that Chase Wild can be responsible. Completely practical, right? 🤭💍 Except Chase and Abi have chemistry that absolutely no one is going to mistake for convenient. As the Whispers Echo was my first book from Steffanie Blais, and these two had me laughing so much. Abi has a comeback for every one of Chase’s charming lines, while Chase seems to enjoy finding new ways to get a reaction out of her. Their banter was easily one of my favorite parts. Then we start seeing what they both keep hidden. Chase is more than the easygoing playboy everyone expects him to be, and Abi has spent far too long believing she has to take care of herself because no one else will. Watching the Wild family make room for her got me more than once. And while all of THAT is happening, there’s still the mystery surrounding Wildhaven and Wild Industries. I was keeping track of suspects and feeling pretty good about a few of my theories. I should not have felt good about my theories. 😂 That ending GOT ME. 💍 Marriage of Convenience ☀️ Playboy / Sunshine Hero 🧁 Pastry Chef Heroine 🔥 Flirty Banter 🏡 Small-Town Romance 🤎 Found Family 🫶 He Takes Care of Her 🔎 Ongoing Family Mystery 🌶️ Spicy Romance ☕ Continue the conversation: Want to know what I thought about Chase, Abi, and everything happening in Wildhaven? My full review is waiting through the Book Buzz link in my bio. #Gifted #bookreview #5star
This last time I got this mad at a book it was by This last time I got this mad at a book it was by @binkcummings as well. Then it was Big doing something stupid except he wasn’t and I went to bed peeved off at a fictional character and woke up peeved off at him. I learned my lesson. However, this was almost cruel! So good but kind of cruel too. I am so glad I discovered your books. #currentlyreading #darksurrender #binkcummings
NOW LIVE! Well Aware by Lani Lynn Vale is availabl NOW LIVE! Well Aware by Lani Lynn Vale is available now! “Lani Lynn Vale has once again delivered a romance that is easy to devour, impossible to forget and another brilliant addition to a series that just keeps getting better.” – Goodreads reviewer Amazon: https://a.co/d/01M3AOGR B&N: https://t.ly/UiO65 Kobo: https://t.ly/eCeOF Apple Books: https://apple.co/4vUXI7t Goodreads: https://t.ly/2SzE3 A one-night stand, agreed on by both parties, was supposed to be just that. One night. The next day, when Magnolia Baker walked in to the first practice for her last season of professional soccer with the Cowgirls, she expected it to go pretty smoothly. She was a veteran player, nothing surprised her anymore. At least, until her one night stand walks through the door. Her new boss, Beaufort Vanderbilt. The man that set her blood on fire, and made words stutter from her mouth. For eight months, they fight the connection, acting like they don’t feel a thing for each other. Then tragedy hits Beau’s life, and she forgets that she’s supposed to remain professional. She forgets that she’s supposed to be the player and him the owner. Lines are crossed, and soon, they can’t hide a thing from the people around them. But Beau’s only partial owner of the team she desperately needs to play to remain hidden from her previous life. The other half-owner is dead set on tearing them apart, and making an example out of her. An example that will be a bright, shining warning flag to all future players to never follow in her footsteps. Not if they want to ever play professional soccer again.

I put down the threat and kept her safe. Now she's seen what I can do—and she's terrified. Of them. Of me. Of the body count I left behind to protect what’s mine. She doesn't trust her own instincts, doesn't know if I'm her salvation or her next mistake. She's not wrong to wonder. I'm a wolf who can't survive inside four walls without losing his mind. Claiming her as my fated mate means making a life with her away from the mountains, which might just break me. But she's mine. My wolf knew it from the first second I caught her scent. I'll burn the city down to make her mine. Even if the city ends up burning me first. #wolfranchunleashed #reneerose #vanessavale #fatedmates #paranormalromance #audiobooks #availablenow @literallyyourspr
📚 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
