#MM – Babygirl by Lucy Lennox

From USA Today bestselling author Lucy Lennox comes an enemies-to-lovers MM college football romance.

They say I’m Demere University’s Golden Boy.
The Senator’s perfect son and heir.
The kicker who never misses.
The man who doesn’t make mistakes…

Until I do, and my fall from grace lands me in a dorm room with Elliot Vaughn.

Vaughn is reckless and rough.
Solid muscle wrapped in ink.
He runs an illegal fight ring.
He breaks rules like it’s his job.

And since he hates my guts, Vaughn’s decided to break me.

He brings people home—men, women.
Locks eyes with me across the room while he ruins them.
Whispers teasing words that burrow into my brain.
Calls me names no straight man should respond to.

He steals my focus. Annihilates my control.
Makes me want things I can’t afford to want.

Like those rough hands on my skin.
Like giving up everything they say I am for a future that’s all my own.
Like choosing to be his babygirl, even if it destroys us both.

Babygirl is a steamy MM college standalone romance about a golden boy who can’t look away, and the dangerous man who’s been watching him right back.

#Paranormal – The Demon Next Door: Paranormal Women’s Fiction (Forty, Fired, & Fighting Demons Book 8) by Brenda Trim

 

I found a message carved into my basement floor this morning.

It wasn’t a grocery list. Or a passive-aggressive note from a neighbor. Instead, it was an interdimensional inscription in a language older than Hell’s entire organizational structure. And it was left by something that opened a door my magic couldn’t find. This entity simply did what it came to do and disappeared without a seam.

Vesper is being cryptic about it, which means he knows more than he’s saying. Victoria can’t identify the signature, which has never happened in her years on the council. And Zane has the look he gets when he’s already three steps ahead of the problem, and none of the steps are good.

Turns out someone ancient has been watching me since the moment I fully integrated the Echo. It seems as if there’s a woman who’s been holding a failing seal together alone for three thousand years, and I’m apparently the reason she’s been sending signals into the dark. Turns out Hell was built as a buffer zone and not a punishment system, which explains a lot and makes me significantly angrier about everything that happened inside it.

Also there are people who think the responsible solution here is to kill me before I become someone else’s problem.

Let’s not forget I have a renovation business to run. There’s a subfloor situation at the Kowalski house, and my contractor boyfriend is starting to resent that I say yes to things without calling him first.

Believe me, I understand where he’s coming from.

But there’s a message in my basement with a blank space in the center, and everything I’ve learned about dimensional architecture tells me exactly what goes there.

I’m starting to think I’ve been building toward this since before I knew what I was doing. Either that, or this entire enterprise is about to finally crumble around me.

#NewRelease #MC – Bloodstained Chrome (31 Days of Trick or Treat 2026: Biker & Mobster) by E.C. Land

The beast inside me never needed anyone until her…

Primal

I don’t play well with others. Solitude suits the lion clawing at my insides. Especially when she’s in the room.

Sibley is an anomaly. Older than time but hauntingly pure. She’s been waiting for her mate, and she’s convinced that I’m him. But I don’t do destiny and I’m not interested in forever.

So why can’t I get her out of my head and out of my space?

Because the ruthless predator inside me knows the truth. Every time she looks at me, the hunger grows. No matter how high I build the walls, the ancient tether between us just gets stronger. And a beast can only ignore his nature for so long.

Eventually, I’m going to stop running. And when I do, no one will stop me from making her mine.

Fallow by Sarah Anderson

Slyly funny and disarmingly tender, Fallow is the story of a young woman who signs up to be the world’s first in-house corporate surrogate, then finds herself caught up in a social experiment of another kind.

Natalie knows one truth: there is no such thing as a good job.

As the clock ticks away at the call center where she logs complaints of workplace harassment, she tries to ignore the increasing pain in her jaw. She has no dental insurance. She has no skills or ambitions. She has student loans. And, minute by minute, she hears the many ways workers are not just not getting by, but actually getting hustled.

Then, at the blood bank where she sells her plasma, a mysterious flyer leads her to The Company. Natalie turns out to be the perfect candidate for their pilot program, pitched as an opportunity to help women access greater gender equity. She will be their in-house surrogate, delivering seven babies in ten years and enabling their executives to have motherhood without maternity leave. Finally, she will be adequately—generously—compensated.

For years, her every need is met: stacks of healthy meals in the refrigerator of a luxury condo, fitness coaches and nutritionists, around-the-clock health care. Between deliveries, she takes time off— a fallow period, with no obligations or expectations. For the first time in her life, she is good at her job; for the first time, she feels free.

But just as she’s about to fulfill the terms of her contract, a staffing decision upends everything. Natalie is pulled into an entirely different kind of social experiment, one that raises new questions about her future, her freedom, her purpose, what she can expect from the world, and what she can offer to it.

Woundingly funny and genuinely moving, Sarah Anderson’s Fallow is a tender, alarmingly real vision of a woman balancing on the knife-edge of capitalism as she comes to realize who she wants to be.

#Thriller #debutauthor #gothic- Wildwood by Ashley Woo

A chilling debut gothic mystery in the vein of Jason Rekulak and Stacy Willingham about a house with dark secrets beneath its floorboards.

It seems like divine intervention when newly pregnant and freshly unemployed Elinor unexpectedly inherits Wildwood, her family’s estate. She convinces her husband to move to the sprawling wilderness of rural Vermont to make a home and raise their baby.

Estranged from her extended family since childhood, Wildwood is a mystery to Elinor—she’s an outsider to the townsfolk and to the prominent Brook family who control the town and its history. Knowing little of the house or its past, save for snapshots of childhood memories, she becomes entranced by an eerie nineteenth-century mural in the primary bedroom she calls “the Forest of the Dead.”

But instead of growing more settled in her new home, Elinor feels increasingly isolated and uneasy. She begins to have dreams that feel like memories, phantasmagorical visions of something terrible that happened long ago. Haunted by the mystery of why her family fell apart, she’s determined to uncover the secrets of her ancestry buried deep in the past and even deeper in the woods . . . secrets kept by powerful forces within the house and within the town.

Obsessed with finding the truth, Elinor knows she must answer when “the Forest of the Dead” calls her. Someone wants her to know they were there first, and someone else is trying to get in. As the nightmares creep into her waking hours, Elinor embarks on a journey that takes her back and forth in time, to the dark recesses of memories, to the streets of modern Salem, and to the haunted corners of this otherworldy house.

The Forest of the Dead is calling. Can you hear the whispers?

#WOTR27 #audio #bestfriendssibling #tattoo #doctor – Will, Men of Birds Eye book 2 by Kat Savage

Willette Archer has a secret—though some would argue how well kept it actually is. As right-hand woman and best friend to the owner of Bird’s Eye Tattoo Studio, her job has become her whole life. So, she occupies her days with shop decisions to avoid her disappointing dating life.

Of course, that might also have something to do with her two-decade old infatuation with her aforementioned best friend’s older brother.

Derek Tanner is at a loss—with basically everything. His apartment lease is up, most of his belongings are somewhere in storage, and the good doctor has been pulling extra shifts at the hospital due to lack of staff. His life is chaos. Thanks to these wonderful circumstances, dating is nowhere on his radar.

When his little brother suggests he stay in Willette’s spare room for the time being, he’s both grateful and hesitant. Sure, he grew up with Will, but they’ve never been as close—let alone in close quarters.

It doesn’t take very long for Doctor Derek to start seeing Will in a new light.

When boundaries are crossed and relationships are finally taken to the next level, will Willette get exactly what she’s been hoping for since childhood?

Contains mature themes.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this book.

Oh man Will and Derek.  I have been waiting for this one.

Will is one of “the guys”.  She is goth and happy.  She is herself, with wild and crazy hair and all.  Her bestie is in love, and she is so happy but also kinda jealous.  If ONLY the one man she can’t have would be attainable.

Derek has always seen Will as his sister.  She is Hawk’s bestie.  She is family.  UNTIL Hawk offers to let him move in with Will while he is apartment hunting.  Then he sees Will in a new light….all of a sudden she is SEXY?  WHAT!!

When Derek went and cock blocked Will on her date, I was cracking up.  I mean, he has no clue why he did it. Oh yeah, he needed to save her from a douche…riiiight.  Keep telling yourself that one Derek.

The story was filled with so much anticipation and the burn of them turning the corner from friends to lovers.

I am ready for book 3!!

#WOTR27 #audio #EnemiestoLovers #tattooedHottie #SingleMom – Hawk, Men of Bird’s Eye book 1 by Kat Savage

 

Hawk Tanner is not a man of many words—especially if you’re a silly girl getting a silly tattoo in his shop. The owner of Bird’s Eye Tattoo Studio doesn’t want you to tip him with your phone number or flirty glances. He’s tired of all the wrong women wanting him for all the wrong reasons.

Drew Ashby has no time—for anything. As a recently-divorced single mother, her focus is on finding a job, caring for her daughter, and rebuilding some semblance of a life after hers was wrecked.

When Drew lands a job at Bird’s Eye, sparks don’t immediately fly. She can’t deny the fact that her boss is a delicious specimen of a man. His tattoo-covered skin might even drive her wild, but his brooding presence and set jaw make him hard to read.

That is, until he drops the bad boy persona and starts making moves on her—kind and caring gestures she doesn’t expect.

Things turn hot, and just when Drew thinks everything is finally going right, life does what it does best: It throws her a curveball from her past.

Bird’s Eye might not be the family Drew envisioned for herself, but ideals can change in a heartbeat. There’s no doubt Hawk is the man she wants, but can he step up and be the man she needs?

Review by Twinsie Angie

I purchased this audiobook.

I don’t even know how I found this book, but I did, and I grabbed the audio. I enjoyed the voices and thought they did a great job of representing the characters in the story.

I fell in love with Hawk immediately.  I mean a grumpy, tatted, single guy with a hot-mess ex who also loves his dogs… yes, please.  When Drew walks into the shop, he does not love the straight-laced MOM as his front desk receptionist, but his bestie Will needs help.

Drew is a pretty broken single mom with some emotional baggage from her ex.  He is a POS, totally, but she needs this job and the closeness to her apartment.  Drew handles just about anything that the grumpy owner throws her way.

As Hawk learned more about Drew and she about him, you can see the chemistry start to build.  When Drew’s daughter falls fr Hawk, I was so happy.  Of course, there is drama because Drew freaks out and Hawk has major miscommunication issues.

I immediately downloaded book 2 because seeing confident Will as a hot mess over her crush, I needed to see how they fell for each other.

#newrelease #mc – Ravage (Satan’s Fury MC – Kansas City) by L. Wilder

Emery:

I had a crush on him since I was sixteen.
He was tall, dark, and smoking hot.
But he was my uncle’s best friend.
He was also a Fury brother.
But that didn’t stop me from asking him a favor I had no business asking.
A favor he had no business saying yes to.
But he did.
Ravage:
I knew better.
She was my best friend’s niece.
She was family. She was off-limits.
She was also beautiful, smart, and had curves that could bring a man to his knees.
She wanted me to teach her how to be good in bed.
I should have told her no.
I didn’t.
And now, it could cost me everything.
