I’ve been in love with Trace Bishop half my life…
And I’ve been hiding it just as long.

He’s my father’s best friend.
The man who tracked me down and kept me safe my entire childhood…

The man who looked me in the eyes six years ago and said we were impossible.

So I poured my longing into love songs.
Songs no one knows are about Trace.
I shared them with the world under a secret identity and won a Grammy.
Just another thing to hide.

Then one stupid kiss changes everything.

Trace can’t want me back.
It would cost him his friends, his family, and the life he’s built.
And I’m tired of wanting the impossible.
So I run…

Straight into the crosshairs of someone who knows all my secrets and doesn’t care who gets hurt.

Trace does what he always does–he finds me.
But this time, he’s not tracking his best friend’s son.
He’s tracking the man whose kiss he can’t forget.
The man he’ll burn his life down to keep.

Because if Trace and I want a chance at forever, hiding is no longer an option.

Title: Well Aware
Series: Don't Date Him #9

Genre: Romantic Suspense
Tropes: One Night Stand, Sports Romance
Workplace Romance, Boss/Employee
Release Date: September 8, 2026


BLURB

A one-night stand, agreed on by both parties, was supposed to be just that. One night.

The next day, when Magnolia Baker walked in to the first practice for her last season of professional soccer with the Cowgirls, she expected it to go pretty smoothly. She was a veteran player, nothing surprised her anymore.

At least, until her one night stand walks through the door.

Her new boss, Beaufort Vanderbilt.

The man that set her blood on fire, and made words stutter from her mouth.

For eight months, they fight the connection, acting like they don’t feel a thing for each other.

Then tragedy hits Beau’s life, and she forgets that she’s supposed to remain professional. She forgets that she’s supposed to be the player and him the owner.

Lines are crossed, and soon, they can’t hide a thing from the people around them.

But Beau’s only partial owner of the team she desperately needs to play to remain hidden from her previous life. The other half-owner is dead set on tearing them apart, and making an example out of her. An example that will be a bright, shining warning flag to all future players to never follow in her footsteps.

Not if they want to ever play professional soccer again.

I absolutely devoured this book from start to finish!

I have always loved Lani Lynn Vale’s books for a mixture of reasons but mainly because the plots are unique and the character banter frequently has me in stitches. Well Aware lived up to my expectations and went well and truly beyond!

Not only was Magnolia an amazing heroine but Beau was perfection. AND we can’t forget about Miss Iris! Oh my goodness, that little girl has my heart even though she may be fictional! Iris is Magnolia’s niece/daughter who is four years old and autistic. Lani wrote her character perfectly! I aww’d that many times reading about her! Her interactions with Beau were so cute!

I loved that Magnolia is a professional soccer player and that Beau, was acting CEO of her team. Their relationship build was incredible to read.

I honestly could go on and on about this book and never stop gushing about it. I loved it all!

I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Charlie lives in England with her husband and two cheeky dogs. She spends most of her days wrangling other people’s words in her day job and then trying to force her own onto the page in the evening.

Top It With Cream & Say Please


Having spent the summer antagonising Rupert, the gorgeous sweet shop owner next door, I’m ready to make amends. Unfortunately, he thinks I’m a prick. 


Rupert might be uptight and annoying, but he’s also the most interesting man I’ve ever met, and I’m utterly intrigued by him. When one casual hangout blossoms into friendship, I can’t help feeling I’ve misjudged the man I’ve spent months annoying.


But Rupert guards his heart carefully. He’s convinced nobody wants to be around someone so prickly and sensitive, and refuses to let anyone in.  


I’m not one to back down from a challenge, and I know there’s more to the bright, beautiful man next door than he’s ever let anyone see. It won’t be easy, but I’m determined to show Rupert he’s not the unlovable irritation he believes himself to be. 


In fact, we might just be perfect for each other.

I was waiting for book 3 in this lovely Lick It! series. 
Rupert guards his heart and hides his feelings until Milo, who is direct, opens Rupert’s heart. 
Milo and Rupert, both being neurodivergent, had some hurdles to overcome, but as they learned to communicate with each other, a deep love blossomed, and a lot of spicy times occurred. 
Milo always played jokes on Rupert, being the sassy man he was; I knew they would eventually become a couple. 
In the bedroom, Rupert was not the shy man at all, which was such a surprise! 
I absolutely loved this book; this series feels so warm and inviting and very easy to recommend!

REVIEW TOUR - The Challenge by Penelope Ward

 



Title: The Challenge
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Tropes: Single Dad, Second Chance, Forced Proximity
Friends to Lovers, Small Town, Found Family
Release Date: August 30, 2026


BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE contemporary romance…

Nothing says welcome home like accidentally moving in with your first heartbreak…and his little girl.

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings.

Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay.

Evan—the guy my parents took in years ago after his mother died.
The same Evan who used to dare me into ridiculous challenges that somehow always made me stronger—a game we’d dubbed The Challenge.
The same guy who ultimately rejected me before I left for college after I’d finally garnered the courage to shoot my shot.

Now Evan was a rugged single dad with an eight-year-old daughter, a cocky attitude, and a dangerous ability to make me forget every reason I should still hate him.

Sharing a house with him should’ve been unbearable. Instead, it felt dangerously familiar, nearly making me forget that I had a life and a job to get back to in Chicago. I realized the biggest challenge wasn’t surviving living with Evan Ricci.

It was not falling in love with him all over again.

Audiobook Review: Wow, what an experience! The narrators, Desiree Ketchum as Chloe and Connor Crais as Evan, are a match made in heaven—absolutely spot-on with their performances! 

This captivating single dad spicy romance is packed with all the feels you could ever want! It’s a stunning second chance love story that had so much drama since they last crossed paths. But let me tell you, their chemistry this time around? Off the charts! 

Effie, Evan’s adorable daughter, is such a thoughtful and sweet character, written with so much love that you can’t help but fall for her! 

And can we talk about Evan’s growl? Pure perfection! This audiobook is simply marvelous—absolutely perfect in every way!




Wow! My heart is overwhelmed. The Challenge is a very heartwarming but also emotional story. Of friendships, family, second chances and a little girl who stole the show!

This book is beautifully written. Its packed with emotions and characters that have some very important life choices to make. 

When Chloe has to return to her hometown for her mothers ailing health, seeing Evan again brings back so many memories!

Realizing that the house she booked for her visit isnt just hers, makes for interesting conversations for sure! 

Needless to say with them both having alot on their proverbial plates and their chemistry still shining through, can they co exist happily, or do past emotions become too difficult!

This book was the highlight of my week and I highly recommend it!
