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.
Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Harlequin Trade Publishing for a gifted advance e-reader copy.

✔New POVs
✔Dystopian
✔2nd in series
✔New alliances
✔FLASHBACKS
✔Waterfall scene

✔Watch your back…
✔Touch her and ☠️
A captivating spicy dystopian romantasy that has The Handmaid’s Tale, Lost, and The Hunger Games vibes…all in ONE place! Blue Arrow Island was just the beginning. What was once a place created for a better way of life is slowly starting to fall apart.
Briar Hollis will do anything to find her sister…but first she must figure out how to escape the island. Now more than ever alliances must be formed, maintained, and nurtured. Will the man she’s given her heart to stay by her side, or betray her?
A battle is underway for power and who you trust is vital. With new players in this game of survival, the stakes rise daily. With every earth-shattering discovery time is running out.
As with all games it is wise to stay ahead of your opponent. There is no rule book, the team roster can change at any moment and the amount of twists, turns, and surprises will leave you on the edge of your reading chair. Just when you think they might make it off the island…it isn’t ready to let you…the reader…go. It’s time to put your survival skills to the test and hope your choices let you live to play another day. I was on the edge of my seat with all the twist and turns.
If you read your books and “see” a movie playing in your head like me…this is chef’s kiss. I would love to see this adapted to screen. Please note that book will answer some plot arcs while leaving others to be discovered in the next book! I can’t wait!
Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Brenda Rothert for a gifted advance e-audio book copy and e-reader copy.
