This series just keeps getting better and better! Lani Lynn Vale never ceases to amaze me with how she makes each couple and each character so unique!
Spicy Disaster is Odin and Constance’s story. This book tugged on every heart string I have and then some!
Odin is the big, grumpy Viking looking biker but has his own hidden secrets. Reading the previous books, I had no idea that Odin was a medical examiner or was a doctor in his previous life. I especially loved the fact that he has super rare blood type (something I didn’t know existed until this book!).
Constance is a single Mom who is struggling to look after her sick daughter, Wendy. Wendy needs regular blood transfusions to stay healthy but the problem is that she also has this unique and rare blood type. When Constance is one day looking for a donor to help Wendy, a mysterious email pops up and tells her to move, she doesn’t even hesitate! She would do anything for Wendy. I also loved the fact that Constance helps her family and their wild life recovery centre. Another fierce, fantastic and unique heroine, whom I loved from the very start!
I loved how both characters developed throughout this book. Odin becomes just a smidge more soft and falls in love with not only Constance but also Wendy. I loved how many animals made an appearance in this book as well. Not only the wild life but Constance’s near pet Osprey, Possum. Love that bird!
I can’t wait to read what magic Lani Lynn Vale writes next!

Can you believe this? Haverton’s football hero is opening a bagel shop next to my pizzeria and he’s selling—wait for it—pizza bagels. The nerve!
And Rob Vilmer isn’t above using his fame to attract clients. It’s annoying and yes, I’m feeling a little crusty about the situation. My temper has gotten me into a few binds, but a pizza-bagel war? This is a first.
I’m gonna crush him.
Rob
After years of playing in the pros, I’m beat. All I want is to open a bagel shop in the town that gave me a shot at the big time. I’d love some peace and quiet too, however, I won’t be getting that with Mateo Cavaretti next door.
Geez, I can’t believe I had a crush on that guy in college. Sure, he’s still incredibly good-looking, but he’s a grouch. And while I like my business partner’s idea of settling our dispute with a classic bake-off, Mateo and I can’t be in the same room without fireworks exploding.
Okay, some of those fireworks are extra sexy and that might be a problem.
Or is all truly fair in love and pizza…and bagels?
All’s Fair in Love and Pizza is an MM grumpy/sunshine, small-town romance featuring former teammates, a culinary challenge, and a HEA worth fighting for.
*A portion of All's Fair in Love and Pizza was originally included in the Delicious Anthology. This new version has doubled in length to over 40k words and a whole lot of bake-off shenanigans!

When portals from another world split open the sky, humanity braces for war… only to discover the monsters from Erethar aren’t here to conquer. They need something from humans. Something oddly specific in order to survive.
And I’ve spent the last few years working at my little shop and doing my part to help humanity by donating what the monsters crave.
But everything turns upside down the day I get a call from a friend saying an injured, banished Vyastil is looking for sanctuary.
He’s nothing like the others I’ve met. Cielo is a soft and tender monster whose punishment doesn’t fit his crime. And unfortunately, as much as I try to help by feeding him what his body needs, he doesn’t believe he’s worthy of taking it.
I want to teach him that everything he grew up knowing about humans is wrong, and that maybe his people would be a lot less repressed if they allowed themselves the one thing humans indulge in.
But the moment Cielo gives in and tastes me is the moment it no longer becomes about what his body wants.
It’s now about who we are to each other, and what fate has in store for both our future, and the future of monsterkind.
My name is Dante, and I’m working to save Vyastil society by showing them that the pleasures of the flesh can be theirs, if they only allow themselves to take it.
I absolutely loved the world-building in this story—it really draws you in and makes the whole experience so enjoyable! Cielo is such a sweet and lovable character, and it was so rewarding to see him grow into someone you can truly admire.
Dante is just what Cielo needs—supportive, understanding, and the perfect person to help him discover his true self. Together, they make such a wonderful couple, and I had a great time following their journey!

He hired a fake boyfriend for the weekend.
The man who showed up wasn’t the escort.
Sawyer Montgomery spends his nights broadcasting heartbreak on his prime-time radio show—spinning sad songs, giving terrible love advice, and pretending he’s totally over the ex who shattered his heart.
(Spoiler: he’s not.)
But when he needs a fake boyfriend to survive a weeklong family celebration with that very ex, hiring an escort seems like the perfect solution.
Simple. Efficient. No emotions required.
The only problem?
The man he mistakes for the escort… isn’t one.
Beckett Calder walks into the hotel lounge expecting to meet his blind date. Instead, he finds Sawyer—a romantic disaster who clearly thinks Beckett is the escort he hired.
Beckett should correct the misunderstanding.
He should walk away.
(Spoiler: he doesn’t.)
Because there’s something about Sawyer—maybe it’s the sarcasm, the bruised heart, or the way he looks like he could really use someone on his side—that makes Beckett say yes.
Now he’s pretending to be Sawyer’s devoted boyfriend.
For an entire week.
Which would be manageable…if the chemistry between them didn’t feel so dangerously real.
Because the longer they pretend, the harder it becomes to remember it’s all an act.
And when the week ends, Beckett might be the one mistake Sawyer never wants to stop making.
This was such a fun, heartwarming read with the perfect balance of humour, romance, and emotion. Beckett and Sawyer’s journey was beautifully written, and I loved watching their relationship develop.
The fake-boyfriend storyline was written extremely well!
As Sawyer’s feelings for Beckett grew, I found myself completely drawn into their story and wishing for them to be together .
Sawyer’s family were wonderfully chaotic and had me laughing out loud, but their unconditional love for him added so much warmth and heart to the book. And Beckett? Absolutely divine—a genuinely kind man with a heart of gold.
A fantastic romance filled with laughs, love, and unforgettable characters. I loved every word and highly recommend! Heart smashed by Brooke Blaine 5 huge stars!
From the very first page, I was hooked! This book is just magnificent!
