Fairest - Mairi MacMillan
This book is a retelling of Snow White with a fantasy twist. The fantasy elements aren’t immediately clear, which made the opening feel slightly disorienting as I worked to understand the world and how everything fit together. Niamh has been close friends with Rose for years. Rose is Cillian’s sister, and Cillian is engaged to Vittoria in order to gain power in the fantasy world and secure his future as king. From the beginning, there is a constant pull between Niamh and Cill

Doubt - Kathy Lockheart
Whenever the story is told from Ryker’s perspective, you cannot deny the intensity of his feelings for Faith. Everything he does is for her, and that alone was enough to keep me turning pages. There’s so much more happening beneath the surface, and every chapter pulls you in deeper without giving anything away too soon. Faith has never had anyone in her life who truly stayed or genuinely cared for her, and because of that, she doesn’t want to pull anyone into her chaos. I lov

Promise Me - Sara Cate
The story of Declan and Colin completely stole my heart. I loved the way it was written, weaving together the present from Declan’s POV with the past from Colin’s. That structure made their story feel even more emotional and immersive. Watching their relationship build in the past was beautiful. Declan’s protectiveness is different from most MMCs, quieter, steadier, and deeply intentional, and I loved that about him. And the love Colin has for Declan? It’s pure, loyal, and un

Series I Love
In the Bad Habit series, Nico, AJ, and Brody were such a fun group of men to read about. Nico’s instant fall, AJ’s determination to avoid love, and Brody’s relentless pursuit each delivered very different love stories, while weaving together the same tight-knit group of men and women. Barney was another key presence throughout the series, serving as the protector of the crew. By the third book, it was was revealed he had unrequited feelings, and watching everyone else find

Shadows of Fury - R. Nimes
This book had me from the very start, and I was hooked until the very end. There was a lot happening, but I was never overwhelmed. Everything stayed clear and easy to follow without ever feeling like too much. When Damien meets Roxy, his infatuation starts immediately. She consumes his thoughts and quickly becomes his entire world. It’s the kind of obsession that should feel scary, but somehow it works. Their dynamic is strange, dark, and oddly intimate from the beginning. I

Dance of Monsters - Jagger Cole
I flew through this book in one sitting. Jagger’s writing style is so captivating that it’s impossible to put down. His universe is also deeply intertwined, so you get appearances from characters you don’t expect, which makes the reading experience even richer. Vaughn is the classic broody MMC who has no time for love or feelings. But once Evie walks into a situation she absolutely should not have been involved in, she lands firmly on his radar and never leaves. He even tells

Now He's Mine - Cadence Smoke
This story was a quick read, but this story stayed with me long after I finished. Mavix and Austin’s story is a powerful second-chance romance, made even more heartbreaking by the fact that losing their first chance wasn’t due to their own choices. Through a bit of serendipity, Mavix and Austin find their way back to each other. I loved that they didn’t immediately fall back into what they once were. Cadence made a wonderful choice in giving them space to breathe, to relearn

Masquerade of Vengeful Hearts - Sara Sines
I’ve read vampire stories before, but something about this one stood out. I loved that Maeve had a full life before Dante entered it. She had a job, a passion for wine, and her family’s restaurant. Dante didn’t want to take her away from it. He wanted to know her and become part of her world. His fascination with Maeve was compelling, though I did hate that at times she believed it wasn’t driven by his free will. The depth of his feelings and obsession ran far deeper than sh
