Wrong Cabin, Right Time by C. Hallman
If you like your romance books dark, inferno hot, and filled with plenty of wild banter…this is the book for you.
An influencer, a serial killer, a case of a mistaken address, twists, turns, surprises, and a few scoops of ice cream in this spicy read.

Are you ready for the hunt, chase, and thrill in a dark, twisted, and unexpected story that leaves you wondering…could it get any wilder? This one scorches with a bit of “tie me up tie me down” sorta way.
Always honest. Always my own. Thankful to Montlake Publishing for a gifted advance e-reader copy.

Evening the Score by Lexi LaFleur Brown. An injured hockey player, a mascot, and a secret.
✔ Fake Dating
✔ Bookish Hero
✔ Revenge Plot
✔ Secret Identity
✔ Hockey Romance
What happens when you find yourself attracted to the one guy you should stay away from? A revenge plan backfires when Olivia attempts to sabotage her nemesis…if only he knew the truth. Even when others suspect what is going on…no one has figured it out.
Will Olivia confess the truth or will it implode when others find out first? Sometimes the grand gesture isn’t enough to declare love. Maybe acceptance, family expectations, and a desire to be loved will find a way to help bring Olivia and Brody together in this spicy read.
