ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 13, 2026

Class is in session.

Maddie Kowalczk is ready to be a bad girl. When the rookie lecturer lands at Astra University, she’s looking to start fresh after a messy breakup. But her first night in town takes a twist when she bumps into Bram Loe—a reserved but incredibly handsome single dad she (not so accidentally) stole a parking spot from earlier that day. The unspoken chemistry as he locks eyes with her while she gets a birthday spanking at a local bar is hotter than a Bunsen burner at full flame.

Bram is looking for a break from his hectic life as an ecology professor and dad to rambunctious twins and a busy teenager. So when his college friend’s divorce celebration brings him face-to-face with the same delectable brat who stole his parking spot, he’s ready for a night to remember. But the next morning, Bram’s world turns upside down (and that’s not just the hangover talking). His new nanny? None other than Maddie, who also happens to be the new poli-sci adjunct at the university where he teaches.

Maddie is desperate and broke, so when Bram offers her a raise and the chance to set some ground rules, she can’t say no. As the two settle into their new roles, the normally unruffled Bram finds that no one riles him up like Maddie does, which is a problem when every argument feels like foreplay. Of course, Bram is an educator first and foremost, and he very quickly finds he can’t resist the temptation of instructing Maddie in the fundamentals of being a good girl.

And it turns out Maddie’s a hands-on learner…

•••••

REVIEW:When Julie and Sierra write together, there are two things I know for sure are going to happen. One, the book is gonna be top tier, and two, pure chaos. Couldn’t have been more on the nose with this one. From the wild minds of Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone, Fundamentals of Being a Good Girl is a standalone, spicy academy, nanny romance that is filled with so much spice it should come with its own maturity rating.

Maddie is new to Kansas and just getting her professional career started as a Poli-Sci Professor, even if it is only adjunctly. She’s had a rough go of things lately from breaking up with her ex, to living out of her car, life is a mess, but she has a plan. That plan crashes pretty quickly after a one night stand with a smoking hot stranger, a stranger that just happens to be her boss at her part time nanny gig, oh and her co-worker and fellow Professor as well. Fudge.

There is so much to unpack with Fundamentals. Maddie is a plus size woman trying to make her way in an academic profession that is determined to keep her down. When she meets Bram, she’s at a low point in her life, but also more determined than ever to prove not only to others that she has what it takes to succeed but also to herself. Bram is another story, he has all the green flags. When his ex wife heads out of town, he needs additional help with his twins and oldest daughter, this brings Maddie to his door. (The kids are freaking adorbs!) Their relationship quickly changes once they realize who they are to another, but that doesn’t stop the lust and chemistry they share to bubble over. Now they have to learn to navigate this new relationship together.

Holy, holy holy! Maddie and Bram have to be the hottest couples I’ve read so far this year. Let’s get the spice outta the way. Yes, there is quite a bit of spice in this book, toss in a bratty Maddie and a Daddy Dom Bram and this is gonna knock your socks off. There is also so so much to the plot and growth to the story, and those parts kept me more engaged. (not that the spice isn’t good) Maddie and Bram both had so much going on in their lives before and during getting together, there were of course parts that they dealt with together, but each also had difficulties to overcome on their own. I don’t normally gravitate towards college/academy tropes, but Julie and Sierra have never let me down before. Maddie and Bram’s dynamic both in and out of the bedroom really works for them, even more so with the age gap. Bram taught things to Maddie and Maddie in turn taught Bram to loosen up a bit and to let things go. Maddie also goes through a lot of stereotypes in the book as a woman in a field that predominantly men, not to mention she is also a plus size woman. I love how this is represented as something real that she experiences and not just a filler for chapter length. There isn’t enough of this type of representation in books these days let alone romance so the fact that these authors can make it so, just adds to the girl power that they already knew they had. There is a particular character I would like to see have their own story, but I’m not a spoiler kinda girly. You’ll have to read to find out.

The New Earl’s Convenient Wife by Julia Justiss-review

The New Earl’s Convenient Wife (Soldier’s to Heirs 2) by Julia Justiss-review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Google Play / Indigo /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 15, 2026

An 1830s marriage of convenience, high society romance continues the Soldiers to Heirs series

Reigniting an old longing…

For the new Earl!

When his brother dies unexpectedly, soldier Rafe Tynesley is forced to become the new Earl. His late brother’s betrothed, Juliana Waverton, helps Rafe adjust, but originally destined to be a countess, she’s facing spinsterhood. Rafe’s position requires he wed, so he’ll return the favor—by offering Juliana a practical marriage!

Juliana has always secretly loved Rafe, and his proposal is bittersweet—it’s all she’s ever craved, but he’s sworn off love, so she can’t forget it’s for convenience. Yet how will she protect her heart when her husband’s touch sends her up in flames?

••••••

REVIEW: Julia Justiss delivers another entry in her Soldiers to Heirs series with The New Earl’s Convenient Wife.

A classic Regency romance that hits all the right notes for fans of marriages of convenience and uniformed heroes. Set in the 1830s, it follows soldier Rafe Tynesley, who is thrust into the role of earl after his brother’s unexpected death. Struggling to adapt to aristocratic life, Rafe turns to Juliana Waverton, his late brother’s longtime betrothed for guidance.

Facing spinsterhood after years of waiting, Juliana finds herself in a precarious position until Rafe proposes a practical marriage to secure his title and repay her kindness.Juliana’s long hidden love for Rafe adds a bittersweet layer to their arrangement. Rafe, scarred by war and determined to avoid the vulnerabilities of love, brings that brooding military intensity that the author writes so well.

Their chemistry builds slowly, with sparks flying as convenience gives way to genuine passion. Juliana is no wilting wallflower, she’s resourceful and resilient, while Rafe’s internal conflict over duty versus desire had me rolling my eyes (you know your going to fall for her eventually 😜)

If you’ve enjoyed her previous works (like the The Earl’s Inconvenient Wife or the first book in this series, The Unexpected Duke), you’ll appreciate the familiar blend of tender emotion, light angst, and steamy tension.

This is perfect for curling up with on a winter evening, especially if you’re craving escapist historical romance with heart.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves a soldier finding his way home… to love. 🥰

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 8, 2026

One look and I know – he’s going to be mine!

He walks into my boudoir studio and everything else fades away. For a long moment, it’s just the two of us frozen in time. But when I come back to the present, I realize he’s not alone. He’s here for a couple’s session.

After he returns solo and asks for a bondage shoot, I make one very important realization – that man is mine. I’ll stop at nothing to have him.

••••••

REVIEW:Picture Perfect is a steamy MM romance novella by Crea Reitan, set in the paradise of the Isle of Kala, a luxurious LGBTQIA+ resort island that’s become a favorite backdrop in the author’s interconnected worlds (previously glimpsed in her popular For Puck’s Sake hockey series).

This short standalone follows a boudoir photographer who experiences instant, overwhelming attraction when a handsome client walks into his studio.

What starts as a couple’s session quickly evolves into something far more personal when the man returns alone, requesting a bondage themed shoot. 😜

From there, it’s full speed ahead into possessive, intense romance.

“One look and I know he’s going to be mine!” I did squeal reading the blurb 😂

The story centers on Larson (the determined photographer) and Dylan, delivering exactly what you’d expect from one of my favourite authors, high heat, obsessive chemistry, and unapologetic passion.

One thing that almost had me not picking up the book, is the fact that one of the characters is in a relationship (I don’t like cheaters!) But give it a chance, as all us not as it seems 😜

I know not everyone is a fan of instalust or instalove, but I am. The intense chemistry between Larson and Dylan is the standout here. It’s electric from that very first frozen moment in the studio, building into something all consuming.

The Isle of Kala itself feels like a character, sunny, accepting, and the perfect escape for swoony island romance.

I love revisiting the island, we’ve met characters from previous books, but also islanders themselves.

It’s a novella, so don’t expect deep world building or complex subplots, this is pure focused romance with plenty of spice.

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…

When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!

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?

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 30, 2025

I thought I’d be single forever, but my hot single dad neighbor had other plans.

Zoey Gallo
I didn’t want to date anymore. After a string of disappointments, I swore off relationships forever. But when a handsome single dad moves next door, I find my resolve slipping, no matter how hard I tell myself to stay strong.

Hunter Evans
I’m completely out of my element. New town. New job. A fresh start. I was there for one reason and one reason only—to be closer to my little girl. But after spending time with my new beautiful neighbor, I wonder if I’m missing out on something more in life.

But when someone from Zoey’s past tries to tear us apart, do we have what it takes to get our happily ever after?

•••••

REVIEW:Back in the saddle we go with the Gallo Family. Book four in the Men of Inked Sinner series, Wish is the story of Zoey and Hunter. 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.

Zoey has had so really crapping luck with men, her latest (ex) boyfriend is now in jail after taking hands to her, and we all know how the Gallo’s take to that. She has learned the hard way that men outside of her family just can’t be trusted with her heart and maybe being alone isn’t as bad as it seems. That is until she sees her sister with her new baby and is reminded how badly she too wants that one day. Enter Hunter.

Hunter is new to town and taking up a job with her cousin Tate, who of course decides to play matchmatcher. Did I mention Hunter is also Zoey’s new neighbor? Yup that’s right, the single dad next door. Hunter however is dealing with a lot of family drama and isn’t sure if he is up to a new relationship. After all, he moved to Chicago to be closer to his daughter while her mother fights cancer. Slowly though, Hunter and Zoey start spending more time together and their chemistry builds quickly, then as life does, drama ensues. Zoey’s ex makes an appearance and starts stalking her and causing all kinds of issues, now Hunter has to decide if he can handle the drama of that and his own drama at the same time.

As always, the Gallo Family has some crazy family dynamics, but ones we all secretly wish for. I loved Hunter’s daughter, she’s a sweetie who added such warmth to the story. The added suspense from Zoey’s ex was an interesting turn, but poor Hunter just didn’t know what he was getting into with this family. I’m looking forward to seeing how the series finishes.

Kissing With My Duke: A Regency Romance by Anna St. Claire-review

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Indigo

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 11, 2025

The past hides secrets, the present hides danger… and it takes a brave heart to see the truth.

She guards her heart… but fate might have other plans.

Miss Serafina Davies has kept her distance from Society and the marriage mart ever since a youthful mistake nearly ruined her two years ago. Instead, she poured her passion into creating TheLavender & Cream Tearoom—a tearoom unlike any other in fashionable Bath. With her signature honeyed tea, floral confections, delicate pastries—and the support of her guardian and his wife—the business seemed destined to thrive. But when a chance encounter in front of an overflowing ash pit leads to Serafina rescuing a dog and a handsome stranger rescuing her, she finds herself dangerously close to breaking her most sacred promise—to never fall in love again.

He arrives incognito… but the truth cannot stay hidden forever.

Julian McAllister, the newly minted Duke of Strathmoor, arrives in Bath incognito—to grieve, to paint, and to escape the demands of his dukedom in search of much-needed rest. Disguised as a humble artist, he’s drawn to Serafina’s beauty, wit, and the quiet strength that shines behind her flour-dusted smile. With every encounter and every shared cup of tea, their connection deepens—but the more he’s near her, the harder it becomes to hide his identity. And when Serafina’s past catches up with her, Julian must decide if he’s willing to risk everything—including his heart—for love.

Because someone else wants Serafina.

Baron Cornelius Grimsby’s interest is unwanted—and unrelenting. He does not court; he lurks in the shadows, always watching, always nearby. With each encounter, his fixation hardens into something far more sinister. What begins as an irritating nuisance becomes a calculated, escalating threat—one that may cost Serafina her freedom—and Julian his life.

Tea may soothe the soul… but love, courage, and one daring duke may be the only things that can save her.

••••••

REVIEW: Anna St. Claire delivers exactly what fans of sweet Regency romance crave in Kissing With My Duke: a lighthearted, clean love story filled with charming encounters, a touch of suspense, and plenty of heartwarming moments, all set against the elegant backdrop of Bath.

The story centers on Miss Serafina Davies, a young woman who’s sworn off love after a past mistake nearly derailed her life. She’s channeled her energy into running the delightful Lavender & Cream Tearoom, complete with honeyed teas and floral pastries that sound absolutely divine (and make you crave a scone while reading).

Enter Julian McAllister, the new Duke of Strathmoor, who’s hiding his title to grieve privately and pursue his passion for painting. Their meet/cute involving a rescued dog and a literal tumble into an ash pit, is adorably quirky and sets a fun, whimsical tone.

Serafina and Julian’s connection builds through shared teas, witty banter, and quiet moments of vulnerability.

Serafina is independent yet guarded, Julian is brooding but kind hearted, and their chemistry feels genuine without ever crossing into steamy territory this is truly a “sweet and clean” read, perfect for those who prefer closed door romance.

Adding tension is the villainous Baron Grimsby, whose creepy obsession with Serafina escalates from nuisance to genuine threat. This subplot introduces a mild suspense element that keeps the pages turning, though it never overwhelms the romantic focus.

The inclusion of a cute dog as a secondary character is a bonus, the author often sprinkles animals into her stories, and they reliably steal scenes.

With vivid descriptions of Bath’s society and scrumptious tearoom details that immerse you in the era, you felt like you were actually living the life.

If you enjoy Duke’s in disguise, independent heroines, and a dash of danger resolved with love and courage, pour yourself a cup of tea and dive in.

A delightful, low angst read that’ll leave you smiling!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 1, 2025

Her first mistake was not killing the brute when she met him. Her second was falling in love with him.

Highlander Rory Matheson knows what he wants—a biddable wife. So when an edict from the king demands Rory choose a bride by Winter Solstice from the twin daughters of his clan’s greatest enemies—The MacLeods, he knows the moment he meets the sharp-tongued, headstrong Lillith that he’ll definitely not be picking her. Not only is she far from the docile wife he craves for peace, she’s unpredictable and dangerous—she put an arrow in his shoulder! Yet, he cannot keep away from the oddly enticing lass who stirs his desire. She’s brave and cunning, and she challenges him at every turn. And as the king’s deadline draws near, Rory comes to realize that he no longer wishes to win his battle of wills with Lillith—he’s determined to claim her heart.

Lillith MacLeod wants to be a warrior, not a wife. She’s seen the havoc love creates, and she’ll pass—thank you very much. She’s determined to defy both king and clan rather than become the bride of Rory bloody Matheson, so she hatches a scheme to drive Rory away and leave her clan blame-free. But she soon finds herself entangled in fiery exchanges with the irritatingly handsome Scot that spark her interest, kisses that ignite her desire, and a competition that reveals an honorable, caring side of the Hammer of the Highlands that she never expected. As tensions rise between the women and men of her clan over the edict and the king’s deadline looms, her family’s future—and her own—hangs in the balance, and she must decide: is love her greatest enemy or is it herself?

•••••••••

REVIEW: Julie Johnstone’s Christmas Wishes of Love, is the eleventh book in her beloved Highlander Vows: Entangled Hearts series.

It’s a delightful enemies-to-lovers holiday novella that packs plenty of passion, banter, and Highland heart into a compact, festive package.Set against the backdrop of feuding clans and a royal decree forcing Rory Matheson (the “Hammer of the Highlands”) to choose a bride from the rival MacLeod twins by Winter Solstice.

This story delivers classic Johnstone magic. And I loved it.

Rory wants a biddable, peaceful wife…. what he gets is Lillith MacLeod. A sharp tongued, arrow slinging (yes, she literally shoots him in the shoulder upon meeting), and determined to become a warrior rather than anyone’s bride. Their instant clash sparks fireworks, evolving into fiery exchanges, scorching kisses, and a delicious battle of wills.
Rory starts as the stereotypical gruff Highlander craving control but reveals layers of honor and tenderness.

Lillith, scarred by witnessing love’s destructive side, is fiercely independent yet vulnerable, her plan to scare Rory off while protecting her clan adds clever tension and humor.

Johnstone balances the push/pull romance with clan politics, family loyalties, and the looming king’s deadline, all wrapped in seasonal cheer.

As a novella, it’s briskly paced with no filler, making it perfect for a cozy holiday read.

The steam level is higher than some of Johnstone’s earlier works, expect passionate scenes that earn the “spicy” label common in her Highland tales, while staying true to the emotional depth I’ve come to love. I loved catching the cameos from previous couples, but newcomers can jump in easily as a standalone.

If you’re a Lover of spicy Scottish historicals, then this book is for you.

If you crave brawny Highlanders tamed by feisty lasses, holiday vibes, and a satisfying HEA, grab a plaid blanket and settle in, this one’s a winner!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 30, 2025

He was my first love. My first heartbreak.

The boy who made the one mistake I’ll never forgive.

Roderick Wilder and I grew up side by side—two kids tangled up in music, mixtapes, and lyrics that felt like they belonged only to us. Then he destroyed everything we had and disappeared, chasing a future without me.

Twelve years later, he’s back.

Not the rising star I remember, but a man who’s broken, scarred, and desperate to rewrite his story.

The problem? I’ve already started falling for someone else—an anonymous stranger I trade late-night messages with, sharing lyrics and reliving the bands that shaped us.

He feels safe.He feels new.He feels like everything Roderick isn’t.But soon I might need to choose between the stranger who makes me believe again . . .and the boy who once destroyed me.

•••••

REVIEW:The first book in what I hope to be a lengthy new series, (Not so) Simple Lyrics is the first installment in the Heartbreak Mixtapes series by Claudia Burgoa. One thing that we know about this author is that her books are always going to give us the BEST stories filled with angst, loss and refound love.

Kit and Roderick grew up together in music royalty, it seemed natural that they too would follow in those same footsteps. It was even more natural that they both fall in love and have a world-wind relationship that fuels their music even more. Unfortunately nothing worked out the way they wanted it to, Roderick breaks Kit’s heart in two and sends them both down a sad, dangerous path for years to come. Now, over a decade later they meet again, but not in the way most would think. Without knowing who one another are, they slowly begin their second chance romance over online chats and sharing their love of music all over again. When the truth comes out though, who each of them is, what they have shared, lets just say that Kit has a few choice words to say.

Ms. Claudia, you are the real music maker sister! The amount of research that this book required alone is amazing, from the songs, to the throw back of the 90’s, all of it was top tier. Kit and Roderick have such a complicated relationship, but one that was founded by their mutual love of all things music. I loved seeing their passion for the art and what they created together. I had a really hard time wrapping my mind around the reason Roderick breaks up with Kit, it really didn’t set well with me, but the plot pushes on and so did I. As their rekindled relationship blossoms, we get snippets of their past together and that was a great way to bring another layer to their relationship. The spice was spicying, the angst was angsting and the ending made me wishing the next one in the series was already out.
