ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 8, 2026

Marco Amir is great at his job.

With one notable exception.

He absolutely cannot keep himself away from the beautiful, wallflower wedding planner.

He’s supposed to be protecting her from the rabid media, ensuring there are no leaks that compromise the big event. Though, as threats close in and his carefully laid plans begin to unravel, Marco finds he isn’t just guarding Alice because he has to, but because he’s pretty sure she just might be the one…

If he can somehow convince her their connection isn’t just for now.

REVIEW: FOR NOW is the third book in the Star-Crossed City series by the ever talented Ari Wright. As always, I do recommend reading a series in order to get the most out of it, but each book can be read as a standalone in an interconnected series. Past book characters do play a part in For Now, so I do strongly recommend reading the first two books. Now onto the good stuff!

Alice is a wallflower, shy, klutzy and prefers her tea and books to socializing and parties. She is kind and smart, but like so many of us not the most confident in herself or how she looks. Alice is a plus size baddie, but due to her horrible (and I do mean horrible) mother, she struggles with self-love and trusting others. One day at work, her lovely, but crazy friend Tris manages to talk Alive into taking on a client for a last minute wedding for their mutual friend Ella. Here’s the kicker though, Ella is marrying Grayson (book one) and he is loaded and famous, so everyone is out for the details for the wedding of the century, thus leaving Alice as the odd one out. She’s never done an event this big, but she can’t leave her friend in a bind, and agrees to do it. Poor Alice just wasn’t prepared for the “security” that it came with.

Marco is just what you would think a security executive would be, tall, broad, muscular, alpha-male, but he’s also a hopeless romantic. When he scopes her out for a risk assignment, he’s obsessed from the first meeting. (and what a meet cute it is) Marco quickly learns that Alice isn’t like any woman he has met before, that she is gonna be the one. The one he wants to spend the rest of his life with, there’s just one catch. She doesn’t think he really wants her. Marco makes it his mission to protect her from all things crazy wedding, but also to show her just how serious he is about their future together. He just wasn’t expecting the thing wanting to harm them was more connected to him than his clients.

I freaking loved this! Ari’s books always leave me feeling just a little bit lighter after reading them, and For Now was the same. Alice is my soul sister, she is such a relatable character and I love how much she grows throughout the book, and Marco, well we all need a Marco in our corner one day. It was fun seeing how some of the other characters have fared after their books, and even Tris (who I hope gets a book) was a kick in the pants. I will say, towards the end, I was a little unhappy with Alice for believing that b.s (no spoilers) but her character was still growing so I will look past it. For Now is a story of found family, self-love and acceptance, and learning what true love really looks like.

Ari was once entirely sane, but then she realized sanity is overrated and decided to write sporty Omegaverse smut. Because life is short, you know? She loves really embarrassing music, moody weather, and any story where the bad guy gets the girl. Because what’s Happily Ever After without a little (or a lot of) spice? You can follow her works in progress, favorite reads, and very pink aesthetic

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 9, 2025

One beast is bad enough… but three?

Briar Rose always knew she would be married to the highest bidder. So it comes as no surprise when she finds herself at the altar with Cillian Blackwood, a notoriously beastly billionaire.

No one mentioned anything about the other monsters, though.

With his scarred face and hulking brawn, Dane is enough to scare most people out of their skin – literally. And when he isn’t around? The clever, callous Rhys is all too happy to prove there are worse things than fear.

Briar might think she has a plan to escape the beasts without giving anything away…

But what happens when your monsters turn out to be your mates? And all their twisted torments become your wildest fantasies?

REVIEW:🥀🥀🥀 OMEGAVERSE AT ITS BEST 🥀🥀🥀

Book two in the Royalverse series by the ever talented Ari Wright, is the next adventure in this omegaverse series. This is a Beauty and the Beast retelling, just with a darker twist. Each book can be read as a standalone in the interconnected series, but as always I do recommend reading the series in order to get the most out of it. Also, check your trigger warnings, most is off page, but there is talk of different trauma.

Briar Rose (Love the name) is a former prima ballerina and current caged bird. A pawn to her father, abused, experimented on and finally sold off. Sold by her father (i use this title loosely) after he no longer sees her worth anymore, sold to a man that may not be any better than Daddy dearest.

Cillian Blackwood, a name as dark and ominous as he is. He needs a wife, and Briar will do as well as any other. After their marriage ceremony, they return to their new home together, little does Briar know that it’s not just one beast she has married, but a whole pack of them. Cillian, Dane and Rhys are feral, dangerous alphas that make up the Blackwood pack, each with their own damage and trauma, each needing Briar in a different way. Cillian marries Briar with a secret, a secret from her and a secret from his packmates, one that he isn’t willing to share just yet. They have an agreement in place, none of them can touch Briar without her consent, but what happens when it’s made clear that the pack needs an heir? A new agreement is made and all hekie breaks loose. Briar slowly opens to the pack, learning what she can pull and what she can’t. Dane is quiet and closed off, with his mask covered face and soft eyes. Rhys who suffers from horrible headaches, his venomous personality one that only Briar can tame. Then Cillian, with his quiet control, he hides secrets in his room that he can’t wait to share with her. As Briar starts to spend more time with each alpha, she slowly starts to develop feelings for each of them, they speak to her in a way that she both loves and hates, but gives her something she has never had. A choice.

Holy Hekie!!

Talk about a spicy re-telling! Ari writes omegaverse like no other, her characters are fierce and protective, always fighting for what they want and always getting their HEA. Dane was definitely my favorite for the majority of the book, until we get more of the back story with each of the alpha’s and then I don’t think I could pick one. Each guy is so torn and broken in their own way, and each is only soft for their omega, this makes such a great read. I really have to give the author credit for where she goes with the plot for this book. I was pleasantly surprised towards the end and even happier when the bad guy gets what is coming to them. I can’t wait to see what re-telling we get next!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 13, 2025

She’s out of their league… but they’re still playing for keeps.

You know the phrase, “It is what it is?” Well, for Bridget Woods, it is what you make it.

But even she has to admit… this situation seems pretty hopeless.

She accepted the Locke Pack’s ridiculous offer so she could finally find some control over her life. Sure, they were a hot mess and she definitely hated them, but Bridget was never a girl to shy away from a challenge.

She also never expected she would be splashed across media headlines, outed as the famous pro-baseball players’ “fake fiancée.” There’s only one way to save face—the atrocious alphas have to double-down and move in with her.

With four strong-willed men invading her space, Bridget soon finds out her beloved independence might be a little hard to swing. Big-bat-wielding alphas who smell like her own personal heaven? All up in her business (not to mention her tiny bedroom)?

It sounds like a fun, naughty dream she had once. But now the men who only wanted Bridget as a showpiece are suddenly treating her like she might be their mate… And making sure she knows exactly how much they want their fake engagement to become the real deal.

Can Bridget still walk-off without catching feelings? Or will these players beat her at her own game?

••••••••

REVIEW:The lovely Ari Wright has graced us with the next installment in the MVP Pack series! As always, I recommend reading the series in order to get the most out of it, but each book can be read as a standalone in the interconnected series.

Bridget is an omega, a shy, sweet, kind woman who just wants to find her place in the world. Coming from a family that treated her unkindly, a society that degrades her body type and a near zero self esteem, she just wants freedom. She wants what all omegas want, a loving pack that will treat her with sincerity and respect, however due to her rather strong perfume she is labeled as “undesirable”. Enter the Locke Pack. Their pack has a reputation, and not a good one. When they offer up a fake engagement to solve their bad rep problem, Bridget jumps at the chance, but not everything is as it seems. Colt, Jesse, Dante and the newly added pack leader Adrian make up the Locke Pack. When they agree to this fake engagement, they think nothing of it outside of it being a means to an end. However, as time progressed they start to realize just how perfect Bridget is for them.

I loved the grovelling in this book! I have read my fair share of Omegaverse, and Ari Wright quickly became a favorite. Bridget’s character is so relatable to so many people nowadays, the way she struggles to come to terms with herself and that this pack does truly want her makes the story that much better of a read. Colt had me wanting to smack him at times, and Adrian is definitely my favorite, but each of the guys had something that Bridget needed to feel complete.

Overall the plot was fun and easy to keep up with, the characters relatable, the spice perfect. For readers that enjoy the world of Omegaverse, this is the series for you.
