Echoes of You by Catherine Cowles

4.5 Stars

Release Date: May 2, 2023

Synopsis: Nash Hartley has always been my everything: Protector. Partner in crime. Best friend. The person who was there for me in my darkest hour. But my heart wanted so much more. So, when I knew for certain Nash didn’t feel the same about me, I tried to move on. What a mistake that turned out to be. Now, I’m back in our small town, desperate to escape my living nightmare, and the only person I want to see is him. As secrets are revealed, and Nash finds out what happened to me, he’ll do anything to keep me safe. But there are those who will do anything to stop him, and this time neither of us may make out alive…


A new friends-to-lovers, mall town romantic suspense from USA Today Bestselling Author, Catherine Cowles!


Review: The Hartleys are proving to be a new favorite book family for me! I love that we get to know them more with each book. While I love a good romantic suspense plot line–one of the reasons I always adore Catherine’s books–the couple really was EVERYTHING in this book! The funny part is that I’m not a huge fan of the friends to lovers trope, but Catherine seriously killed it with Nash and Maddie. I honestly can’t stop thinking about them. There’s just something about their connection over the years and how they come back together. Their friendship is such a perfect foundation for a relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed how they could read each other, and that even though they’re not good at opening up, they definitely work at trying to be very honest and straightforward with each other.

The romantic suspense plot line was multi layered as usual with a Catherine Cowles story. There were definitely a couple times where I wanted to shake the main characters for decisions they were making, but they also tried to be smart about their bad decisions if that makes sense. The couple itself and their connection really won me over with this one. I also love seeing the Hartley siblings, and how they all interacted and supported one another. Also, the little glimpses of Cayden and Grae made me very excited for Glimmers of You, which is the next book. Honestly, I’ve been dying for Roan and Lawson’s books, and while I know I’m going to love both, I think I’ll just have to claim Roan! As per usual, I definitely recommend picking these books up and I cannot wait to have the complete series!!

Thank you to Catherine Cowles for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A best friend’s brother, small town romance from Catherine Cowles

I’ve only ever had one secret: I’ve been in love with my best friend’s brother for as long as I can remember. West Castille is everything my little-girl heart dreamed of and everything I still yearn for, even now. There is just one problem. He’s never felt the same. West moved on to the military and then into private security, using his finely honed protective streak to keep everyone but me safe, while I lost myself in my music and a coffee-shop job in our small town. But when creepy messages on my social media turn to threatening notes left at my door, West is the one who shows up on my porch. I tell myself it’s brotherly concern or a favor for his sister, but that all feels like a lie when his skin brushes mine. One stolen kiss could send us hurtling into disaster. Because when my stalker sees the way we touch, he’ll do anything to end us both…

Made for Us By Natasha Madison


3.5 STARS

Release Date: April 10, 2023

SYNOPSIS: Abigail – It was time to celebrate. After all my hard work, I was graduating at the top of my class. Our family vacation was the perfect chance to relax. Until I saw him get on the plane and my plans went out the window. Tristan’s everything I’ve always wanted but can never have. One night was all we had together. Now, I’m staring at the two pink lines wondering if I should even tell him.
Tristan – Six years ago, I was living for myself until I found out I had a two-year-old daughter. Now, I love my life exactly how it is: me, my daughter and hockey. Except—I’ve been in love with Abigail from afar for years. She was the only one I trusted my daughter with. One night with her is more than I deserve. Now that I’ve had her, I know she was made for us.


From Wall Street Journal and USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a brand new stand-alone surprise pregnancy single dad sports romance.

A spin-off from the Only One series & This Is Series.


Review:  I have been loving this series! This book was not was I was expecting from these tropes, but I was very excited to get Abigail and Tristan’s story after glimpsing them in the previous books. In the previous books, we see Tristan find out that he has a two year old child he hadn’t known about as a rookie hockey player, and I loved that he stepped right up for it. He seems like a great single dad, and Abigail’s presence in his and his daughters lives over the years seemed really special. It was definitely surprising to get these two’s inner thoughts about each other. I did want to shake them and tell them to be truthful with one another multiple times though. The ending was satisfying though after the journey they went on. I am looking forward to seeing where this series goes from here!

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…

Cruel King by K.A. Linde

5 STARS

Release Date: March 28, 2022

SYNOPSIS: The most eligible bachelor in New York City just asked me to be his fake fiancé. Gavin King is six and a half feet of delectable billionaire with a devil’s smile that says he knows exactly what he’s going to do to me later. Because he has. Three years ago, I caught him in the shower and promptly fell into his bed. But neither of us were relationship material. Not to mention I’d just broken up with his best friend. Now, I’m back in the city and he has a plan: Go to his cousin’s wedding. Convince his family that he’s not an eternal bachelor.Post a huge elaborate break up later. With those big puppy dog eyes begging me to agree, claiming I’m the only one who can pull it off, I say yes. What could go wrong? Other than pulling it off so successfully that the line between real and fake blurs. When my family flips the whole script, I can’t see a way out. And I’m starting to wonder if I even want one.


A new stand alone fake relationship romance set in the glitz and glamour of the Cruel world from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde.


REVIEW: It took me a while to write this review because I am still processing the fact that this final book of the Cruel Series is in my hands, and that I’ve actually read it! I have waited for the conclusion to this series (which happens to be one of my most favorites) for almost 3 years. Now listen, you may be wondering if I got nervous thinking this book may not live up to everything I wanted it to be after such a long wait. And yes, you would be correct in that thought. I was hesitant to even read it when I finally got the ARC. I was so scared this last book just wouldn’t be as good as the previous three that I fell in love with. But here’s the thing: IT WAS WONDROUS. I absolutely loved every second.

There is a prequel–I do not do prequels, sneak peeks, etc., so I waited until I could binge both. It was the perfect little glimpse at Gavin and Whitley’s friendship, and how spicy it could be. It leaves us in this hopeful spot, and I just couldn’t wait to see what would happen! When I started the actual book, I was floored by what had occurred. I couldn’t read it fast enough. I needed to know what the heck happened. I lived for their scenes together and the development of their “fake relationship.” I seriously love both of these characters, and Gavin was so much more than I thought he’d be. Totally book boyfriend material. I also loved seeing the friend group! Especially since the prequel takes place during a pivotal moment from Cruel Marriage (Catherine and Camden FOREVER!!!). Seriously, seeing all the couple again was such a joy. Honestly, I don’t want to give too much away, but what I will say is READ THIS BOOK. READ THIS ENTIRE SERIES! Seriously, you will not regret it at all.

Coach by Devney Perry

4.5 STARS

Release Date: April 6, 2023

SYNOPSIS: I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem. Except my boss just hired Ford as the new head coach for the Treasure State Wildcats. Not only will I be stuck watching him on the sidelines this season, but avoiding him will be impossible now that we’re working together. Maybe I haven’t forgotten Ford. Maybe I still dream about what we might have been. Maybe he hasn’t forgotten me either. Except those maybes won’t change the fact that we were never meant to be. Maybe he was mine once. But as of today, the only thing I’ll be calling Ford Ellis is Coach.


Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. 


REVIEW: This was an adorable romance! Just such a sweet story, it felt a little insta love, because of the friends to lovers past and the second chance present. I enjoyed seeing Millie and Ford find their way back to each other. I also love how Ford was all in and knew he wanted her. I enjoyed seeing how Millie got along with Joey and how she held herself towards the end with Sienna. Joey is too cute and I love all the ways she adds to the story. Millie and Ford’s story is definitely complicated, but I like that you just feel like they were always meant to be!

Over my Brother’s Dead Body, Chase Andrews by Piper Rayne

5 Stars

Release Date: April 5, 2023

Synopsis: Chase Andrews. The Kingsmen’s top tight end. My brother’s friend and teammate. My new neighbor. The grumpy to my sunshine. But underneath that grumpy exterior, there’s so much more.

Chase likes to pretend nothing affects him, but I’ve seen glimpses of his other side in the time we’ve spent together. And the more we get to know each other, the more I’m falling for him. Under normal circumstances, this would be great. Except my hyper-protective big brother thinks no man is good enough for me, and my ex-fiancé is trying to win me back. One charming, seemingly good man already broke my heart. Am I stupid to give a self-confessed relationship-adverse football player a chance to break it a second time?


USA Today Bestselling Author, Piper Rayne, continues the Kingsmen Football Stars series with a brother’s best friend/roommates romance.


REVIEW: I just knew I was going to love this book! Forced proximity, brother’s best friend, and grumpy/sunshine!? Hello perfect combination. It was everything I wanted it to be. I loved how Chase was with Twyla. I love how grumpy he was, yet how thoughtful. He was such a perfect grump. I also loved Twyla, and liked how she fit in with the group as a whole.

The book club scene was everything. I mean seriously, where do I find a book club like that!? Haha. Oh, and don’t get me started on the kitten. Yes, yes there is a rescued kitten. This story. Gahhhh. I loved it. I also loved the little set up for the new series with Twyla’s brother! I can’t wait for Chicago Grizzlies series. Also, these abs covers are fire. Thank you for that Piper Rayne!
