Another unputdownable tale of friendship, family found, and badass besties is upon us from the incomparable Kristen Ashley, and this time, we get to watch Harlow O’Neill and Javier “Javi” Montoya fall in love in true KA style—completely and irreversibly. Harlow and Javi are complete opposites. She brings sunshine into his life, shining light onto his darkness, and standing bravely between him and the pain from his past. And Javi gives her the emotional safety to feel protected and loved for the woman that she is, not the one others expect her to be. As an Avenging Angels investigation into a dating app scam ends with a dead guy, throwing both the Angels and the Hottie Squad into dangerous waters, it also pushes Harlow and Javi to deal with unresolved feelings for each other. Their story squeezed my heart in all the right places, and brought me to tears on more than one occasion. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

The Sunshine Vicram trilogy was one of those on-a-whim picks, a blind draw from my endless TBR list, and my first encounter with Darynda Jones’ s delightful writing, and I simply flew through it. Set in the small town of Del Sol, New Mexico, the series centres around Sunshine Vicram who returns to her hometown as the elected sheriff, only to find herself knee-deep in drama and danger on her first day on the job. And then there’s Levi, her childhood crush and the man who seems to be angry at her for some reason; her teenage daughter who fancies herself an amateur sleuth; her meddling parents… Witty dialogues, endearing (and some downright bonkers) characters, and small town shenanigans made this series a hilarious thrill ride I never want to get off, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

I honesty can’t say that I had blood-drinking, winged aliens on my reading bingo card this year, yet here we are. A tale of fated mates, unrequited love, with even a surprise pregnancy thrown into the mix, I devoured this book in a single sitting, hopelessly enthralled with the characters, the plot, the angst, the phenomenal world building. This is one of those stories that consumes you until you’ve gobbled up every last word of it, and then leaves you craving for more. It’s technically the third book in the Brides of the Kylorr series, but I jumped in with no prior knowledge of the series so far, and that didn’t impede my enjoyment of this book. This was my first toe-dip into Zoey Draven’s writing, but it then kicked off a week-long binge-read-a-thon of her books I’m still recovering from.

The more I read, the harder I am to impress, and it takes an outstanding book these days to truly shake me into submission. Admittedly, a kinky, sports-flavoured romance penned by one of my favourite writers of late is not a far-fetched bet, yet I never expected to become so infatuated and utterly consumed by this story to the point of re-reading it over and over again in a matter of weeks. Ali Hazelwood continues to bring complex, STEMinist heroines to life with unmatched precision and attention to detail, celebrating their resilience and drive to succeed as well as their softer, more vulnerable parts. And this time around, she does it by deep-diving into the gruelling world of competitive water sports, with the story of two college athletes with something very unexpected in common.

ONE NIGHT STAND + SURPRISE PREGNANCY + SECOND CHANCES + HOCKEY ROMANCE

One night, one kiss, and a spark hot enough to melt the ice.

Preston’s all in on his hockey career as a Stingray, and Chelsea’s just about to start a new adventure in Paris—until an unforgettable night at an Ugly Christmas Sweater party changes everything. A few drinks, some dirty jokes, and a kiss under the mistletoe leads to a night of toe-curling, name-forgetting, no-strings-attached fun.

They part ways in the morning, no regrets—just a sizzling memory they both assume will fade.

A year later, Chelsea’s in Baltimore, launching her dream bakery—and navigating life with a baby she never saw coming. The father? Mystery man from that one unforgettable night. What she really didn’t expect? Him walking through her door, very real, very sexy… and very much still capable of making her forget how to breathe.

Preston hasn’t been able to get her out of his head. Now that he knows the truth, he’s not going anywhere. The question is—can they turn one accidental night into a real shot at forever?

This is the third book in the Stingrays Hockey series of standalone novels with interconnected characters.

PARANORMAL ROMANCE

Teaming up with your neighbor during a zombie outbreak is a no-brainer, but if it turns out he’s a vampire . . . the stakes couldn’t be higher…

When Edie Brandstrup attempts to save her sweet, seemingly harmless human neighbor from the first major zombie breach in two decades, she’s stunned to be saved by him—and his ridiculously large sword—instead. As it turns out, he’s actually a super-old, super-surly vampire. But for all her neighbor’s newly revealed cynicism and lethality, Gaston “Max” Boucher (yes, Gaston) is unexpectedly protective. He wants her to stay in his safety bunker until the breach is resolved. Edie can’t risk more innocent people getting killed, though—and Max won’t let her save them alone.

As they unravel a sinister conspiracy to set zombies loose on the world (again), the duo meet a host of lovable allies and discover they’re not the only ones willing to fight for the future of humanity. Despite the awful timing, Edie finds herself falling for the vampire who’s helping her save the world . . . but all their dangerous plans could end their future before it even begins. As she and Max battle side by side, Edie must decide whether having a love worth living for also means having a love you’d die for—and, in a world that grows deadlier by the minute, whether that’s a risk she’s willing to take.

This is a standalone novel.

SECOND CHANCES + RIVAL SPIES

Ten years ago, they joined the CIA.

Six years ago, he left the game.

Five years ago, they fell in love.

One year ago, she ran out into the cold with absolutely no intention of ever coming back.

And two minutes ago, they woke up, bloody and bruised and handcuffed together in the dark.

They don’t know where they are. They don’t know how they got there. And they have absolutely no idea who is after them or what this nameless, faceless villain wants.

The only thing that’s clear is that, after ten years of covers and chemistry, secrets and lies, these two rival spies have been sucked into their greatest mission yet, and now they’re going to have to team up to stay alive. (If they don’t kill each other first.)

This is a standalone novel in The Blonde Identity series.

BROTHER’S BEST FRIEND + DOCTOR/PATIENT + HE FALLS FIRST + OPPOSITES ATTRACT

My job? Rehab his knee. Don’t fall back into bed with my brother’s best friend.

Jason is my brother’s best friend.

Also known as: completely off-limits, wildly inappropriate, and the reason I have trust issues with charming men who smirk for a living.

He’s a hockey star with a busted knee and an ego to match. I’m a retired Olympian turned physical therapist with zero patience for cocky athletes—especially the ones I used to fantasize about in my twenties before he ghosted me with a wink and a margarita.

Now? He’s injured. He needs help. And guess who got volun-told to fix him?

That’s right. Me.

Trapped in close quarters. With him.

He’s determined to make rehab feel like foreplay. I’m determined to survive our sessions without combusting—or committing murder. Either feels likely.

We’ve got rules: no flirting, no feelings, and absolutely no touching… unless it’s medically necessary (and no, Jason, “measuring flexibility” doesn’t count).

But the more time we spend together, the harder it gets to remember why I ever put him in the off-limits box.

He’s my patient.

He’s my past.

He’s my brother’s fucking best friend.

And if I’m not careful, he might just be my next mistake.

This is a standalone novel in The Crawford Family Playbook series.

We break rules. Cross lines.
Then he’s gone.
But five weeks later, I find him at the clubhouse—and hand him a note with two words that change everything.

So I leave while she sleeps.
Five weeks later, she finds me with news that hits harder than any bullet ever could.

FANTASY ROMANCE + GRUMPY/SUNSHINE

REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light), magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog (crowned, judgmental). Answers to “Evie” or “Stop that.”

Evie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional beheadings,” and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding, sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.

Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on fire—or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.

Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then again…neither was falling for The Villain.

This is the third book in the Assistant and the Villain series.

ROCKSTAR ROMANCE

It’s the duet of a lifetime when a rock star and his backup singer find a new kind of harmony off stage…

Clementine Clark isn’t looking for love. Growing up with a single mom who weeps over a new guy each week tends to have that effect on a girl.

The two couldn’t see the world more differently. And yet, over the course of the next eight weeks on tour, the romantic rockstar might just strike an unforgettable chord in Clementine. But will it be enough for an encore?

When Adler arrives at Second Chance Ranch, I know he’s trouble. Adler gets under my skin like no one else and threatens my quiet, orderly, ranch foreman life.

In fact, my body’s reaction to his presence is something of a surprise. When I have the chance to explore the chemistry between us while secretly skinny dipping, I go for it because I know all too well that city slickers never stay long.

Except Adler comes back…

And I’m tasked with training him to be a ranch hand. No matter how tempting Adler’s easy smiles are, I can’t risk a repeat encounter for several reasons:

I’m his boss.
I hate gossip, especially when I’m the subject.
And doing my job right will always be my top priority.

Adler challenges all of that with chaos, rescue dogs, and an attraction that refuses to quit. As the weeks pass, our connection deepens into a secret fling. My rodeo days taught me how to handle a rough ride, but Adler has me falling fast.

Landing in the dirt is going to hurt, but I can’t bring myself to end things. Adler’s everything I never knew I wanted, but he won’t be content with staying in the shadows forever. Can I be the cowboy he needs and deserves before he’s gone for good?

SINGLE DAD + RIVALS TO LOVERS + FORCED PROXIMITY + GRUMPY/SUNSHINE + SMALL TOWN

He wants me to stay out of his way. I want to get under his skin.

One look at single dad Callum Blackwood, and I know I messed up. I never meant to save a farm—or steal it from under the grumpy innkeeper who had already claimed it as his future.

Now I’m the woman who swooped in on a whim and left him seething.

Trouble is, I have no idea what I’m doing.

Every smirk, every biting comment, is a reminder that he’s waiting for me to fail. But I don’t back down from a fight—even when the fight comes with a jawline that should be illegal and a scowl that sets my pulse racing.

Tempers flare, but when the lines between rivals and lovers begin to blur, I start to see him in a different light. The longer we go toe-to-toe, the more I understand the man behind the scowl. The one who loves his kid fiercely, who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, who looks at me like I’m the reason the sun rises.

Cal’s wrong if he thinks I’ll give up on this farm. He’s even more wrong if he thinks I’ll give up on him.

But holding a man like him is like chasing the sun—brilliant, blinding, and bound to set your entire life on fire.

Elsa Whitney walks into my life like she owns the sun, all warmth and light, and shatters the quiet I’ve been clinging to. Not that I can blame her. She’s impossible to ignore. And somehow, I’m the idiot who offered her a place to stay.

Brilliant move.

I’ve got enough on my plate—raising my son, rebuilding my family’s resort, and trying to keep the pieces of my family together. The last thing I need is a distraction, especially one as tempting as Elsa.

Too bad my family is already smitten. Worse? They swear I’m less of a grouch with her around.

They’re not wrong.

Because the truth is, I don’t just want her in my house—I want her in my life, in my bed, in every moment I can steal. And once I finally give in? There’s no turning back.
