“For five million dollars, would you send a relative to jail?”

"Bud, I would pay five million dollars to send a few there."

Problem number one: Almost everything the world thinks they know about me is a lie.

Problem number two: Two people know the truth.

Problem number three: One of those two is a stalker and he's having a blast using that information against me to get his way.

The good news is, the second person who knows the truth about who I am seems pretty dedicated to taking my stalker down.

The bad news is, it’s NHL goalie Vanya Maximov, and he and I had a one night stand that I can’t stop thinking about. And while Vanya might be walking sunshine so bright he can make even my blind ass see light, we have no business being together.

I’m a mess, and while Vanya is everything I’ve ever wanted in a partner, he deserves better than me.

If only he was willing to listen to reason. If only he was less stubborn and able to give up on a lost cause.

But with his ability to give me exactly what I want—a little pain with my pleasure—and his refusal to treat me like I’m fragile, something dangerous starts happening.

I’m beginning to think that maybe—just maybe—he’s right, and I am worth everything he sees.

Hat Trick is the second book in the Punk as Puck spin-off series, Legends and Fury. It’s a high heat, friends to lovers romance with a sunshine NHL goalie who also might be a golden retriever in disguise, a PPHL goalie with big black cat energy, a stalker, and no faith in himself, hooking up in a friend’s car, praise and pain, high stakes romance, hockey bro banter, tons of chirping, and the swooniest happily ever after.

Micha and Vanya were impossible not to love. I kept turning pages because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Between the hilarious teammates, language barrier moments, protective family, and amazing chemistry, this book was such a fun read from start to finish. Add in a sweet happy ending, and I was completely hooked. Definitely recommend!

One broken wolf. One duty-bound vampire prince. One bond neither of them saw coming.

Mark hasn’t shifted in ten years. Not since heartbreak stole his wolf and left him trapped in grief. He keeps to himself, silent and in pain... until the night Caster St. John, heir to the Vampire Crown, crosses his path.

Caster is used to control. Command. Power.

But Mark?

Mark makes him want to break all his rules.

Their connection is instant, intoxicating, undeniable, and dangerously forbidden. When a vengeful witch sets her sights on Mark, their fragile bond becomes the only thing standing between survival and destruction.

Desire can be a weapon. Love can be a risk.

But together? They might just be unstoppable.

Everything, Every Day for Eternity is the first book in the Shadow Haven Series and an emotionally intense M/M romance about loss, healing, and choosing love even when it hurts.

Mark sets out with his brother to avenge a loved one, only to unexpectedly fall for Caster — reluctantly at first! 

Caster is equally reluctant to let their connection become something more, but as they battle the Witch and fight to prevent a war, their bond becomes impossible to deny.

The HEA is especially satisfying because both men fight their growing attraction before finally surrendering to the inevitable.

The writing is strong and engaging, pulling me in from the very first page. 
A riveting dark romance.

Sharing a college campus with my infuriating stepbrother should be easy.

Until he crosses a line with me, and we’re pulled into a twisted, chaotic game.

Noah is straight. Preppy. Rich as sin. Everything I’m not.

When I catch my stepbrother rifling through my belongings like a stalker, it sparks something inside me I can’t shake.

Let the frat boy stalk me a little. I’m going to stalk him right back.

One night, the mutual hatred sparks between us. We collide, and he gets a taste of me he can't quit.

What we’re doing is bad. Wrong. …Completely consuming.

But I witness something I shouldn’t one night when Noah is attacked by a violent man.

When a stranger lays a hand on my new obsession, I explode.

Protecting him is my salvation.

Now we’ve crossed a line forever, and there’s no chance I’m losing this game.

No one can hurt him. Mafia ties run deep in Onyx Society, and we’ve stepped on the wrong rival’s shoes.

Noah is broken. Vulnerable. I see the sea of emotion behind his perfect exterior.

He claims he still despises me, even when we’re close. But with his life under threat, I risk everything to defend what’s mine.

When he says I’m crazy, I say:

I am. And you are, too.

Because I know we’ll both do whatever it takes to win this forbidden game.

Read this overnight because I simply couldn’t put it down—an absolutely tremendous book.

 The stepbrother, enemies-to-lovers trope is one I adore, and this story delivers it perfectly. The constant push and pull between Noah and Torin kept me completely hooked from start to finish. 

 Their emotional evolution—especially the moment they both realise they’re everything to each other—was beautifully written and felt genuinely earned. 

The chemistry between them is electric: Torin’s need to challenge Noah, paired with Noah’s willingness to yield, creates such a compelling story.

 

With its angsty flirting, forced proximity, and seriously high heat, this book easily earns more than five stars.

Lick It Like A Good Boy

It’s not often you meet gorgeous gothic men at wargaming tournaments. So, of course I tripped over my tongue instead of asking for his number. And despite my friends’ numerous offers to help find him online, we’re too busy opening Lick It!, our new ice cream shop, to spare time for my non-existent love life. 

But when Jonathan walks through the door on a sunny Friday afternoon, I can’t help but feel like it’s fate. 

He’s shy, sweet, and we immediately click. Jonathan doesn’t have much experience with relationships, so I’m determined to give him the attention he deserves, even if it means I’m pulled in two directions. 

With summer heating up and the shop getting hectic, spending time together is getting harder and harder. I don’t know how to balance the long hours and being a good boyfriend, but I know I have to figure it out. 

Because meeting Jonathan is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Licked by Charlie Novak (Lick It… #1) 

 Set in the seaside town of Heather Bay, Alfie and Johnathon meet at a games tournament and instantly click. 

When Johnathon later helps out at Alfie’s busy ice cream shop, their connection grows into a sweet, slow-burn romance.

 Johnathon’s lace-wearing goth style adds a fun, unique touch, and I loved how naturally Alfie understands him. 

Easy to read, warm, and full of summery vibes - a quick, feel-good romance.
