Mug filled with coffee.
Peppermint and chocolate stash to snack on while I enjoyed a relaxing day. While we were expected to get a few inches of snow overnight there was only a light dusting.
Cool winter day, plenty of books to read, football on the tv in the background, a cozy blanket, and a spicy seasonal candle.

In 2026 Lizzie C. Koz is bringing us a new series…Bridgeport Jetties: The Call-Up Years.
Are you ready for M/M sports romance in and out of the ballpark?
I had a chance to read this a few months ago and I am very excited for everyone to meet Easton and Maddox.
โพ๏ธ Best Friends to Lovers
โพ๏ธ Unrequited Love
โพ๏ธ Childhood Dreams Coming True
โพ๏ธ Co-Dependency & a Painful Friendship Break-Up
โพ๏ธ A Kiss That Changes Everything
โพ๏ธ Selfies as a Love Language
โพ๏ธ An emotional read
What would you do if you loved someone who didnโt love you back? For Maddox Barnes the torture, angst, and anxiety surrounding a secret that could destroy the one friendship he canโt lose consumes him.
Easton Winters is awkward, unsure, and at times feels broken when it comes to relationships but through it all the one constant in his life is his best friend Maddox.
Best friends since childhood both Easton and Maddox share the same dream, to play baseball in the MLB. Now that both are draft eligible will their dream come true, or will they find themselves on separate teams and potential rivals?
If you love to read M/M sports romance and are in the mood for a spicy baseball read youโre in luck. This novella has the perfect balance of character arc including backstory and plot. Letโs not forget about the secondary characters who weave in and out of the plot. I am confident that they too will find their moment in a future bookโฆor two.
I love that while Lizzieโs writing is familiar there is a difference in the tone and vibe allowing readers to easily enjoy both of her worlds. If you want to read Finding Home by Lizzie C. Koz sign-up for her newsletter and get this F.R.E.E.B.I.E now.
Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Lizzie C. Koz for an advance e-arc.
