Wolf Season by Wesley King

Wolf Season is a twisty murder mystery set in a small town where everything is not as it seems.

Everett returns home after seven years to Killdeer when his father, the sheriff, goes missing. His brother Conner is now the sheriff, but there are definitely some strange things going on.

Everett has a very complicated history with the town, his family and a past love. He soon gets caught up in trying to solve a number of crimes that all seem to be involved with each other. There are strange things happening in the woods and talks of curses and wild animals.

The story is told really well, with lots of twists and glimpses into the past. The mystery slowly unfolds in such a clever way with the blame shifting constantly. Everett and Bernadine’s love story is also at the heart of it.

If you love a small town murder mystery with a supernatural twist, this book is probably for you. A great read that had me hooked right up until the end.

Right Up His Alley by Bradley James & Anastasia Dean

What a wonderful sweet and spicy romance this was! I just loved Ezra and Truetts story so much!

I was fascinated about a story set in the world of ten pin bowling 🎳
Ezra owns a bowling alley he inherited from his dad and Truett is a professional bowler. Their lives cross when Truett returns to his home town, and sparks definitely fly.

However the story is really about how both men are trying to live up to the expectations set on them from their parents, some real and some perceived. I loved reading about them getting to know each other, and supporting each other reaching for their dreams, even when they struggled to do it for themselves.

This was not a story about coming to terms with their sexuality, like a lot of MM romances are. Both men are completely supported in this regard by their friends and family. It’s more about finding your person among all the emotional baggage and the pressures they put on themselves. Ezra’s family was so funny, and I also loved Truetts and Ezra’s mothers, especially when they got together!

Throw in some great chemistry, lots of crazy Tias, spicy scenes, tattoos and bowling, and you have a really fun time. I would definitely recommend

Lights Out by Naveena Allen

Okay this one was kinda fun! Totally not what I was expecting.

Aly is a trauma nurse in a busy hospital. She’s seen the worst of the worst and has a traumatic past herself. But she has an intense fascination with a masked guy who posts thirst trap videos on social media.

Enter Josh - a reclusive hacker who also has a traumatic past! His online presence doesn’t quite match up with is real life persona. Their meet-cute is anything but cute, but their chemistry and banter is top notch!

This one has spice, kink, stalking, unaliving and trauma bonding, but the feelings are real. Throw in a very special cat called Fred and it’s an experience you can’t miss.

For The Fans by Nyla K.

This one had been on my list for a while after seeing so many recommendations on Bookstagram! It was my first Nyla K book and it definitely didn’t disappoint!

I loved everything about it. From the main characters Kyran and Aviel, the whole enemies to lovers and stepbrothers arc, the OnlyFans storyline and all the spice 🔥, the extended friendship groups on both sides, the heartbreak and trauma….it was all just perfect!

These two are both angel babies and their HEA was perfect. Kyran coming into himself and who he should always have been was just so beautiful. It’s a long book, but every word was worth it.

If you love an MM romance and haven’t read this one yet, I highly recommend. Maybe just check the trigger warnings first.

When We Fell Away by R. K. Lilley

Oh I absolutely loved this book! It’s emotional, very messy and full of feeling and I read it in less than 24 hours!

The story takes you from a Morman mission in Lyon through to the world of NHL. The relationship between Lorenzo and Nathan had so much yearning and tension over the years. Them trying to figure out their feelings for each other while dealing with what they had been taught was right was just heartbreaking.

While the story was told purely from Lorenzo’s perspective, Nathan’s feelings were pretty clear by his words and actions. It just took them both a long time to figure that out!

I loved the early scenes in Lyon when they were getting to know each other. It’s such a beautiful setting and the use of the French language throughout the book really showed the significance of this time. This was such a beautiful read.

PS Remember Lyon xx

Theo of Golden by Allen Levi

This book absolutely captured my heart. It is not a story with a complex plot or action and excitement. It is a story about people, connections and friendships.

Theo is an 86 year old mysterious stranger who moves to a small town in Georgia called Golden. Nobody knows who he is, but he soon makes a splash by buying and gifting portraits by a local artist to their subjects.

Through this kind act, he meets many people and learns their stories. From Ellen, a homeless woman, to Simone, a young cello player, and Kendrick, a custodian. Each of their stories carried both joy and heartbreak, and Theo brought them all together.

I cried many times in this book, but it left me with lots of feelings. Each of these characters stole my heart. Thank you Allen Levi for this book.

Rogue by Elle Kennedy

I loved reading more about Fenn and Casey’s story in this sequel to Misfit. All my favourite characters were back and the mystery of Casey’s accident on Prom night continued.

This book did change my opinion about quite a few of the characters though! I still love seeing things from multiple points of view and getting inside each characters head.

I went into this thinking it was the last book in the series, however, while a lot of the mystery was solved, there are still some things unanswered, and it felt like it wasn’t the end of the story. Elle Kennedy has hinted that there may be a third book, so fingers crossed that happens soon! I would love to read more - maybe something good to happen to Lawson!

If you like high school drama and romance with a side of mystery and morally grey characters, then this series might be for you!

Three Reasons for Revenge by Dervla McTiernan

Just like her other books I’ve read, I really enjoyed this one. Dervla has a way of hooking you right from the very start!

Three people seemingly unrelated receive three separate packages, each one meant to unravel their lives. Detective Sergeant Judith Lee is trying to piece it all together and work out what the hell is going on, and how it relates to her!

There are lots of secrets, revenge and things you don’t see coming, but Judith slowly starts to make sense of it all. This is a great Aussie Crime Thriller, set in Melbourne, with plenty of interesting characters and a story that keeps you guessing. Definitely recommend if you love a good thriller.

Song of the Deities by K. L. Vincent

Book two in the Lost Sovereigns series did not disappoint! It jumps right back in where book one left off and hits the ground running!

Æri and Rione head to Erynelleth, the fae realm, to return a fallen fae and meet Riones family. They take along a team with them, but things don’t turn out quite as they expected.

The Queen sends Æri and Rione on a quest to find the last music composition completed by Riones father, and all hell breaks loose! They do finally admit their feelings to each other though and things get hot!

We still have multiple POVs happening, with more storylines back in both Æris and Riones realms. So much goes down in this book!! I love how each realm has its own world building and everything feels different.

This book is action packed with never a dull moment, but things are really just starting to heat up! So much more to come - I can’t wait for the next book!

Breathe the Sky by Michelle Hazen

This was a really lovely read and I loved how different the setting was in this one.

Mari is a wildlife biologist working in the Mojave Desert on a construction site, making sure the local wildlife is preserved. Jack is the construction foreman who is very grumpy and makes all the biologists cry - no one wants to work on his site!

Naturally Mari slowly breaks down his walls and realizes he’s actually a bit of a softie underneath. Their hesitant friendship slowly develops into something more, but they both have things in their pasts that they have to work through.

Overall it was a very sweet romance, with a few heavier moments, and a really cool, unique setting. Definitely one I would recommend.
