I met Adam and Gabe the old-fashioned way: in a bar. That is, if old-fashioned means that I met a couple of men already in a committed, loving relationship, and they took me home for a night of debauchery and fun, then yeah. That.
It’s just supposed to be one night. I don’t want to be the third wheel or put any kind of a wrench in their love story. These two guys are perfect together. Gabe is the laid-back, easygoing auto mechanic with muscles for freaking days. Adam isn’t lacking in the muscle department either, honestly, but he’s more intense, a little more bruised from a shaky past.
Like me.
I find myself craving their attention all the time. And they don’t seem to want to let me go. What started as one night has turned into something so much … more. I’m a girl who thought she wasn’t lovable, and instead, these two men are proving to me that the three of us could have something really special.

SINGLE MUM + SECOND CHANCES + HOLIDAY ROMANCE
My new live-in manny is many things: indecently hot, annoyingly competent, partial to walking around shirtless… you get the picture.
He’s also my ex.
That is correct.
Which means I know exactly what he’s packing under those worn-in jeans, and he remembers precisely how to care for me when I’m sick.
What’s the problem, you might ask? He sounds perfect.
He really is.
Except for one minor detail.
He’s the ex I walked out on twelve years ago because he never, ever wanted kids.
In my defence, I’ve been desperate for childcare.
Before Max swaggered back into my life, it was all flaky ex-husband, messy kitchen, grimy (if gorgeous) kids, pre-dawn alarm calls for my job as a pastry chef… and no nanny.
This seemed like a practical solution, as long as I could ignore those loud alarm bells. He needed a place to stay for Christmas, and I needed some help.
But now the lines are blurring – and fast.
It’s bad enough that he acts like a jealous boyfriend when I go on dates, and warms me up in bed when I’m too cold to sleep, and gropes me convincingly enough to put the mean-girl mums’ noses out of joint.
But far worse, he’s bewitching my little girl and saving my son from school bullies, and we’re all falling hard.
Is he just “mannying up”? Doing his job?
Or has he changed his mind about that family he claimed never to want?
This is a standalone novel, inspired by Taylor Swift’s “Exile.”
In a world where love feels like a dangerous game, one woman must face her fears and a past that haunts her.
Camryn Moore doesn’t do December. Not the parties. Not the memories. Not the pain. She buries herself in boardrooms by day and dirty martinis by night, trading connection for control. As a high-powered CFO, she’s unshakeable. Untouchable. But behind the sharp suits and sharper tongue is a woman slowly unravelling.
Then she meets him. A stranger. A spark. A moment that should’ve meant nothing somehow changes everything.
Dec is charming, handsome, reserved, and maddeningly perceptive. He seems to see every crack Camryn hides. But Dec isn’t just a man nursing his own ghosts. He’s hiding truths that could destroy whatever fragile trust is beginning to form between them.
In a season she hates, Camryn might have to face the past she’s buried, the love she thought she’d never have, and the man who might just ruin her.
Or save her.
This is a standalone novel.

I’ve never come across a Sarah MacLean novel that I didn’t absolutely devour, but this book—this fascinating, almost theatrically dramatic gem of a story—stole my heart. A wealthy New England family is shaken by the sudden loss of its larger-than-life patriarch, but no one more so than its prodigal daughter—Alice Storm. After five years of being cast out from the family and forging her own path in life, Alice returns to her family’s private island to pay her final respects to her father. But shortly after arriving there, she realises that her eccentric, controlling father is not done manipulating Alice and her siblings even from beyond the grave, forcing them all to spend one week together on the island in order to receive the inheritance. By exploring the real, messy, and deeply broken dynamics of a family brought together by guilt and grief, but ultimately bound to one another by love, MacLean delivers a powerful story riddled with drama, secrets, and family mayhem, as well as a generous dash of heartwarming romance. A superb read.
Kristen Ashley continues to infuse her stories with such depth of emotion that I can see myself re-reading her novels until I’m old and gray. The latest River Rain instalment is a richly layered tale of second chances in life, of redemption, of forgiveness, of knowing our self-worth and believing in the best version of ourselves, no matter how hard our demons fight to break us down. A former celebrity mean girl, Blake Sharp is trying hard to move on from her past and from under the thumb of her controlling mother, but she never expected to find an ally in her childhood frenemy and occasional bully, retired Scottish rugby player and playboy, Alasdair Wallace. When fate suddenly throws them together, an unexpected connection emerges between them, followed by immediate attraction and chemistry, but learning to trust each other with their hearts and not letting their pasts stand in the way is a battle they will both have to fight for what they want the most. A joy to read!
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.
