Scotty

In my mid twenties an attractive couple moved down the hall from me and I was never subtle about my interest in them.


On an amazing vacation fifteen years ago, I was lucky enough to actually live out my fantasy of hooking up with them and it was even better than I’d imagined.


Shortly after, I met someone and we ended up moving across the country. Over the years, I lost touch with Joey and Patrick, but I’ve never forgotten that night with them.


Now I’m forty, single, and back living in New York City. The last thing I expected after running into them was an invite to a cabin for the holidays or that their vacation hookup rule would still be in place.


I’m definitely interested in reliving the best hookup of my life, even if I’m not sure how it will go after so many years apart, but there’s no way I’m turning down their offer.


Looks like I’m packing my bags and heading to a snowy cabin in Vermont for what’ll probably be the steamiest Christmas I could ever agree too.


My Merry Menage is a cozy, low angst MMM holiday romance where an established married couple adds a third to the relationship.

RELEASE BLITZ - Little Ray of Pitch Black by Lani Lynn Vale

 



Title: Little Ray of Pitch Black
Series: Don't Date Him #11
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn
Age Gap, Troublemaker FMC
Release Date: November 3, 2026


BLURB

The A in Jessamy Darling’s name stands for a lot to deal with.

Her complete disregard for all forms of authority stems from a childhood past where her parents didn’t believe that her brother was a literal psychopath. From framing her for killing the family dog to stuffing her backpack full of prescription drugs, then reporting her, her brother has made it his life’s mission to make her as miserable as possible.

The moment she turned eighteen, she bailed from her parents’ house like the bottom of her feet were on fire. But if she thought that moving out would stop her brother’s punishments, she was wrong. He only gets more creative.

And by getting more creative, he starts to turn the town of Sawtooth against her.

No grandma, biker, or shop owner wants anything to do with her.

Eventually, she decides…fuck it.

If everyone was going to hate her anyway, why not give them a real reason to hate her?

***

For years, he’s been dealing with her attitude. Her complete disregard for anyone and anything should wear thin.
Except Black’s always had a soft spot for trouble.

And she’s Trouble with a capital T.

He’s pulled her out of more fires than he should have, and he probably should’ve locked her up and thrown away the key a long time ago.

But Black Adkins, sheriff of Jesper County, wasn’t elected into that position because he was a stand-up guy. He’s a rebel at heart, and Jessamy Darling is his kryptonite.

Putting Jessamy in a cage would break her, and he only wants to see her fly.

Wow! What an emotional roller coaster! 

I absolutely loved reading Black and Jessamy’s story. It had me laughing, it had me crying, my emotions were all over the place! 

This book had a lot of tragedy and a lot of little plot twists I never saw coming! Such a well written book! 

Black Adkins is the sheriff of Sawtooth and has had a thorn in his side for most of his career. That thorn is none other than Jessamy. Jessamy got dealt a hard life. She has a younger brother, Leo, who has a lot of problems that have made their way into Jessamy’s life on the regular. It makes living in Sawtooth ridiculously hard for her. Black, as well as most of the town, thinks she’s a troublemaker when in reality it’s her psychotic brother! 

Jessamy can’t stand most of the population of Sawtooth but there has always been something about the sheriff. She can’t get him out of her mind. Same goes for Black. He frequently gets called to scenes that involve Jessamy but for some reason he enjoys seeing her. 

The character development for both Black and Jessamy is very well written. They both have to overcome some pretty big trust issues in order to accept what’s right in front of them. 

I honestly loved everything about this book! Bring on the next one!

Blurb:

Graduating from Diremount University is the ultimate test of paranormal abilities, but this university isn’t just a training ground, it’s a battlefield.

Between dodging silver daggers in class, avoiding any discussion of becoming a central bond, and fighting off mean girls, my first year at Diremount University is eventful to say the least.

Toss in some good old paranormal classism, and Diremount becomes my living nightmare.

But I have bigger problems: my twin sister is missing and I can’t use my magic.

To find my sister, I need to graduate, and to graduate I need to learn to control my powers. . . but the harder I try to use my magic, the more I’m beginning to think I don’t have any.

And because I have the absolute worst luck, one incident places me among the top-ranking students and turns me into enemy number one.

Honestly, I’m beginning to think the goddess really, really doesn’t like me because if all of that weren’t bad enough, the four most powerful men at the university can’t seem to leave me alone.

Drake, the mage with a grumpy demeanor, wants me gone.

Bellamy, the cocky but handsome vamp, wants to borrow a vein.

Carver, the professor with a hard exterior, wants me out of his way.

And for whatever reason, Rowan, the shifter who knows my darkest secret, wants to protect me.

Now not only am I fighting to survive this deadly university, I’m also trying to avoid their attention because the only thing worse than never seeing my twin again is being trapped in a bond I don’t want.

This is book 1 of a slow burn paranormal academy romance. This series is a why choose romance, which means there will be multiple love interests and the happily ever after will be with all of them by the end of the series.
This book will end on a cliffhanger.

WOW! What a story! 

Whispers of Power had me enthralled from the first page! This is the first book I’ve read by Rory Miles and now I can’t wait to read more! 

The world building at Diremount University and all the sub characters were just incredible. Raina comes from a troubled upbringing and believes she can’t reach her magic. No matter how hard she tries she can’t feel it. She’s hoping that by going to Diremount University someone can help her and also help her find her missing twin sister. 

Truths are revealed in this book that I never saw coming and the plot twists! Oh man! They were amazing! 

I loved how the members of the most powerful group at the university all had different abilities and affinities. Two are mages, one a shifter, one a vampire. And they all are drawn to Raina. They all slowly crack her immense defenses one by one. 

Yes, some parts of this book were a smidge predictable but it was still so enjoyable! The twists, the conflict, it all made it an amazing book from start to finish. 

I need book 2 to come out like NOW! I can’t wait to read what happens next.

REVIEW TOUR - Smash by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

 



Title: Smash
Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Forbidden Romance
Release Date: October 25, 2026


BLURB

A new, shockingly forbidden standalone from New York Times bestselling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland…

Sometimes one floor is all that separates the life you planned from the life you never saw coming…

Moving to New York with my boyfriend, Calder, was supposed to be a fresh start.

A new city. A new job. A beautiful brownstone in Brooklyn we'd call home. The beginning of our forever.

There was just one catch: Calder’s best friend lived in the apartment downstairs.

Rafe—a gifted artist who smashed glass into masterpieces. With his unruly blond hair and piercing eyes that seemed to see right through me, he was impossible to ignore.

He was also completely off-limits.

Yet somehow, every walk past his apartment or trip to the basement laundry room turned into another deep conversation neither of us ever wanted to end.

At first, it was innocent.
Then I found myself looking forward to running into him again.
Before long, I was creating opportunities to be around him.

Somehow, Rafe and I made each other feel seen in ways neither of us expected.

I tried to ignore our connection, reminding myself that Calder’s best friend was the last man on Earth I could ever fall for.

But with every stolen moment, that lie became harder to believe.

Maybe some love stories aren't about finding the right person—but what happens when you find them too late.

This audiobook was an absolute delight! Talia and Rafe’s forbidden romance pulled me in from the start, with a beautifully written connection, undeniable chemistry and plenty to keep me listening.
Talia has moved in with her boyfriend, Calder, but what happens when she finds herself attracted to his best friend, Rafe, the artist living downstairs? The romance and tension make this such an enjoyable story!

The narration was spot on, with Andi Arndt, Lee Samuels and Austin Stone bringing the characters to life. Austin Stone’s sultry voice as Rafe was absolutely perfect. 
I could picture him so clearly, and he was absolutely mesmerising! 




Smash is a smash hit of a story with turmoil, tension and a forbidden romance!

My heart didnt know what to do! 

There were a few times I actually had to put the book down coz I was nervous at what potentially lay ahead! 

I genuinely liked the characters and felt the overwhelming angst made my heart hurt! 

I felt so many emotions throughout that I had veritable whiplash with, will they, wont they?

Talia moves to New York to be with her boyfriend. She has a new job as well and being in a new city is hopefully the start of a great life for them. That is until she meets his best friend Rafe. 

Omg the tension, the connections along with the secrets and lies, made for a very rough and unpredictable journey for all involved. Quite the story indeed.
