Spur of the Moment

About the Book:

Spur of the Moment (Willow Creek Book 1)

Title: Spur of the Moment
Series: Willow Creek #1
Author: Juliana Smith
Publisher: Bloom Books
Release Date: May 5th, 2026
Genre: Romantic Comedy

“This might just be my favorite summer yet at Willow Creek. Lottie doesn’t know it, but I’m determined to make it her favorite too.”

Seventeen-year-old Lottie Turner was born to ride bulls.

Rodeos, big dreams, dusty boots—bull-riding was her whole life. Until the accident. Until the diagnosis that changed everything: epilepsy. Now her doctor and her family have grounded her for good. No bulls. No danger. No freedom.

Then Walker—her former best friend, first crush, and the boy who once knew every piece of her—returns to town for the summer. Walker’s supposed to be chasing stars with NASA, not mucking stalls, even if he really does want dirt, sweat, and saddles. He wants Lottie Turner and all of her wildness.

When Lottie makes a summer bucket list to find herself again, Walker’s the first to volunteer to do it with her. One item at a time, they tumble back into laughter, heat, and everything they left unsaid.

But as the sparks between them reignite, Lottie has to face the hardest truth of all: some risks can break you, but others are worth taking anyway.

Book Review:

So this was so cute! I was really drawn into the story and I wanted to see how Lottie would find herself in the book. I also adored Walter and his growth. Spur of the Moment is written by Juliana Smith and it is a sweet romance about finding yourself and falling in love.

Lottie felt like her life wasn’t her own. She was still learning to live with her diagnosis and everything felt stifling. Walter was trying to get away from his life. They had been friends before but life got in the way. I really loved their easy connection and sweet romance. Both of the characters were likable and I empathized with them.

Lottie felt like a teenage girl just trying to figure out life. She was mature at times and thoughtless at times. However I felt like I understood her and I was cheering for her as she started to find her way. She had to learn to accept herself and the limitations that she had because of her epilepsy, but she also had to learn that she could do more than she had hoped. I love how Walter pushed and encouraged her.

Walter was a sweetheart! He really cared for Lottie but found himself falling for her harder as he spent more time with her. He was also figuring out life and the kind of person that he wanted to be. I love how he was able to be himself with Lottie and how he found his home in her.

The romance was sweet and felt very young love. But at the same time, Lottie and Walter fell hard for each other. They were young but they knew what they wanted and they learned how to stand by each other. It was interesting to read about Lottie’s condition and see the different reaction to it. One of the things that I really liked though was how family was important. Lottie’s family got on her nerves at time but they truly cared for each other. The side characters were a lot of fun especially Flick, Knox and Kit.

I enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to those who enjoy YA novels. Spur of the Moment is a closed door romance that deals with real problems but has a happy ending.

Title: Smoke and Ash
Series: The Firemen of Waterford #3
Author: Savannah Scott
Release Date: January 27th, 2026
Genre: Rom-Com

If you saw Cody Lawson on a horse, you’d understand my obsession with him.

I’ve spent most of my life pretending I don’t have a thing for the rancher next door.
He’s my brother’s best friend.
My best friend’s brother.
And now—because fate clearly hates me—he’s the firefighter I have to work alongside as Waterford’s newest fire inspector.

Cody Lawson is steady where I’m stubborn, calm where I’m chaos, and way too good at showing up when I’m trying to keep my distance. Especially now, with my family ranch hanging by a thread.

Around here, everyone’s got a front-row seat to everyone else’s business, and gossip travels faster than a brush fire. One look, one slip, and the whole town would know exactly how I feel about Cody.

But every time those brown eyes find mine, my whole list of reasons why we can’t be together just … goes up in smoke.Smoke and Ash is the third standalone romcom in the Firemen of Waterford TN series.

Book Review:

Another adorable romcom in the Firefighters of Waterford TN series! This might be my favorite yet in this series! I adored Cody and Carli and their story.

Carli was so sweet! She felt very genuine and from her first chapter, she felt like someone I would want as a friend. Savannah is so good at writing characters that feel like real people and also are the type that feel like friends.! She held the responsibility of supporting her family and the ranch, while also wanting her own life.

Cody was so adorable! He cared so much for Carli and his POV was just so sweet! I admired his sense of responsibility as well. He and Carli understood each other and their shared history. I loved both of their families and how close they all were. The closeness of both Carli and Cody with their families as well as the long friendship between the families complicated their relationship. They cared so much about their families and their friendship, but they had found their person.

Cody and Carli were a lovely couple! They had such a genuine connection and so much love built up over years. I loved seeing them grow together and I was rooting for them from the start! This sweet romcom has only kissing.

Author: Marion De Re
Release Date: May 15th, 2026
Genre: Romantic Comedy

He’s her arrogant neighbour, her sworn enemy… and the one man she can’t get away from.

Archie Wilcott is my egotistical, insufferable neighbor—and I hate him.
He has zero concept of hygiene, thinks he’s royalty just because he can kick a football, and has far too many abs for one human being.
What? It’s not like I can avoid them—he practically lives half-naked in our residence’s gym and pool.
See why I’ll never give up my building?
Luckily, I’m escaping for a while. The hospital finally granted me enough days off for a humanitarian mission in Africa. Helping people is my jam, and it’s exactly what I need after yet another breakup I should have seen coming.
Bonus: it’s 6,400 kilometers from London—and from my infuriating neighbor.
Or so I thought.
Because the moment I set foot in the camp I’ll be calling home for the next few weeks, I’m greeted by a football—straight from the feet of my enemy.
What is Mr. Selfish doing in a rusty Ugandan camp?
And more importantly, why can’t I seem to escape him… no matter how far I run?

Glove to Hate You is a sports romcom with spark—perfect for readers who love banter, sparks, and a hero who falls hard.
It’s part of the London Regents FC series, where tension is high on and off the pitch—and love is always part of the game. All the books are interconnected standalones and can be read in any order.

Book Review:

Oh, this was so much fun! Glove to Hate You is the first book in Marion De Re’s London Regents. I was so excited for this book especially when I saw how it connected to some of De Re’s other books! Archie is finally getting his book and boy was it fun!

Archie and Kat did not get along and were constantly getting on each other’s nerves. It was definitely funny to read about their different perspectives. But as the book went on, they began to see that there was more to the other person. It was sweet to read about them falling in love and growing. They had found a partner who understood them. It was also a good reminder that there is often more to people than meets the eye.

They were forced together when they went on a humanitarian trip but life kept on putting them together. Their interactions were a lot of fun especially when they started falling for each other. Archie fell hard and fast while Kat was more hesitant. I loved their easy connection and how they really cared for each other. But they had to overcome Kat’s fears and fight for their relationship.

This book was so good and I ended up finishing it so quickly! I loved Archie’s team and I am so excited for the other guys to get their own book. It was also fun to see cameos from other books. I would totally recommend this book! Glove to Hate You is a closed door romantic comedy

A sweet second-chance golf romance with grumpy/sunshine sparks, a chaotic husky, and an ex who’s hard to resist…

Luke
Buyer’s remorse hits hard with my new husky. My agent swears Bogey will soften my grumpy reputation and help my anxiety.

I hoped adopting him might open a door with Genevieve, my sunshine ex who still hates me for choosing golf over us.

When her text finally comes, my heart soars, until it’s clear she’s only helping because of my sister.

Watching her gentleness with Bogey makes my chest ache. I need her training expertise… but I want so much more.

Genevieve
Another text from Luke Nichols—pro golf’s brooding “Grim Reaper”—pops up. I ignore it. He walked away years ago; I’m not helping now.

Then his sister begs. Against every fiber of my being, I agree. For her sake.

Pulling into his driveway, I find Luke frazzled, hair wild, and wearing an expression I’ve never seen before. His dog bolting past in a furry blur.

He looks…lost, and my guarded heart cracks.

Keeping this professional might be harder than watching him walk away.

Faking Fore-Ever is perfect for fans of clean sports romance, second-chance tropes, grumpy/sunshine opposites, and heartwarming golf rom-coms with all the sizzle and no spice. Dive into this kisses-only, slow-burn standalone with exes-to-lovers tension, a mischievous husky, professional dog training fun, and a swoony happily ever after!

Grab it now and fall for Luke, Genevieve, and Bogey!

Book Review:

The finale in the Love Playbook series is here! This was my first from Ms. Greyson and so fun!

Genavieve was a sweetheart. She was trying to protect herself, but also wanted to help Luke. She felt very relatable and genuine. I loved her relationship with her sister! They supported and teased one another. I loved seeing Gen reconnect with Luke. They were so sweet together.

Poor Luke! I really felt for him. He was struggling with his anxiety and his family. I was rooting for him as he worked to establish himself based on what he wanted and needed. Bogey and Genevieve were great for him. They really gave him space to relax and to make his own choices.

Bogey was so sweet! I loved his energy and the way he brought the two together. It was fun as always to see the thread of the messages for pet owners and to see it finally close the loop. I also loved so many of the side characters in this story! This sports romance has only kissing and description of anxiety in a main character.

I received an ARC.

The Setup Man

About the Book:

The Setup Man: A Forbidden Dating Sports Romcom (Catching Feelings Book 3)

Title: The Setup Man
Series: Catching Feelings #3
Author: Kate Watson
Release Date: May 26th, 2026
Genre: Romantic Comedy

She’s fake dating the wrong guy. Enter Mr. Right.

Scottie

I’ve spent my whole life cleaning up after Jake Rodgers—the bad boy of Major League Baseball. So when his latest PR disaster threatens to send him to the minors, agreeing to fake date him feels noble. Temporary. Manageable.

Then hot young pitcher Lucas Fischer shows up—with coffee I didn’t ask for and a smile that doesn’t quit—and suddenly none of it feels manageable anymore. Especially when I’m assigned to be his handler.

Now I’m pretending to be in love with the guy I’ve never wanted while trying not to fall for the one I can’t have.

Lucas

I’ve been bringing Scottie Quinn coffee for ten months. I’ve never once guessed her order wrong–no small feat, considering the woman orders coffee based on vibes.

I’ve also never once told her that I know she’s fake dating Jake Rodgers, that she deserves better, or that I’m in love with her. I’m a patient guy. I can wait. What I can’t do is watch her disappear to make everyone else comfortable.

But Jake and I are on the same team now, and our GM has one ironclad rule: no clubhouse drama.

Easy enough. All I have to do is keep showing up until she stops pretending… without blowing up both our careers.

Yeah. Maybe I’m not that patient after all.

The Setup Man is a swoony, closed-door sports romcom with fake dating, workplace romance, banter, forbidden feelings, black cat/golden retriever vibes, and a deliciously slow burn—all with no explicit content. Books in the Catching Feelings series standalone and can be read in any order.

Book Review:

As always, this book was touching, funny, and romantic. I was so excited to read this one especially because it featured both Lucas and Scottie. I knew that it was going to be great. The Setup Man is the fourth book in Kate Watson’s Catching Feelings series.

Lucas was used to waiting and being the man who helped bridge people together. Scottie was used to being the fixer, the one who held everything together. I loved how they truly saw each other. They didn’t have to pretend with each other. Scottie saw Lucas’s fears and hopes. Lucas saw how much Scottie just wanted someone to care for her. Their romance was so sweet.

I loved the growth of both of the characters. Scottie learned that she was enough and she could let her feelings be heard. Lucas had to learn to fight for what he wanted and be honest with himself. They had a lot of growing to do but they grew together and helped each other along the way.

The plot was so intriguing and it kept me reading. I wanted to see how Scottie and Lucas would make a relationship work as Scottie tried to help Jake. She was fake dating Jake to help his image, but she found herself falling for Lucas. Lucas was trying to make his dreams of baseball real without leaving his twin behind. They had some obstacles in their path but everything ended up working out.

The characters felt real and messy. The story was interesting and I am so excited for the books to come. I can already see the setup for the next book and I can’t wait. It was also fun to see some old characters. I would totally recommend this book! The Setup Man is a closed door romantic comedy.

Content Warnings:

Themes of grief, ALS and caregiving, codependency, anxiety, and unintentional neglect. A scene with a spiked drink also occurs and is resolved on page (random side character)

Love You Later

About the Book:

Love You Later: A Sweet Romantic Comedy (Harvest Hollow Love Stories)

Title: Love You Later
Series: Part of the Harvest Hollow Love Stories #3
Author: Julie Christianson
Release Date: April 23rd, 2026
Genre: Rom-Com

Falling in love was not in their wedding vows…

Loren Cane is in a downward spiral. Since her fiancé left her, she’s been juggling multiple jobs, mounting bills, and a father who’s slipping away. The only thing she has left is the found family that anchors her.

Namely, Bridger Adams.

Bridger has been hiding his secret wealth, his powerful influence, and the brutal condition attached to both: Walk down the aisle with a woman chosen for him, or sacrifice control of the trust fund that could save everything he cares about.

Especially Loren Cane.

Loren knows she can’t afford to lose Bridger. But as his deadline looms, her situation turns critical, and she proposes something outrageous:

Marry me instead.

On the surface, her solution is practical and mutually beneficial. Their wedding vows conveniently protect what matters most.

But as the boundaries of their friendship blur into something dangerously real, a new demand threatens to tear them apart.

Now, Loren and Bridger face an impossible choice:

Stay married and fight for love…

Or walk away with the money and lose each other.

Book Review:

This was adorable! I was so excited to return to this world and to read Loren and Bridger’s story.

Oh I felt for Loren! She had so much on her plate, with her dad, her job, and the changes around her with Sayla and Dex being married. Bridger’s solution solved her main problem but left her with new issues. She was so sweet and caring, especially for her dad. Loren had been a caretaker on her own for os long and Bridger’s support was a bit of a shock to her system. I loved getting to see with her how to lean on someone else and to learn to trust enough to fall in love!

Bridger was such a sweetheart! I adored him and the way he cared for Loren. He was so thoughtful and genuine. Bridger just wanted to help people and support Loren, but also was so careful about overwhelming her. Bridger was aching for a home and family and he found it with Loren and Harlan.

It was so fun to see Sayla and Dex again! They are hilarious and full of life. I love the way they jumped in as partners in crime for Loren and Bridger and their constant support. It was so sweet to see their friendship. The romance was adorable and I loved how they connected. Harlan was a sweetheart and I loved seeing the budding relationship within their new family. This is a sweet romcom with only kisses. The male main character’s father left his family (in the past, off-page) and the female main character lost her mother (in the past, off-page) and her father has dementia , his care is a current plot point.

The Duke’s Bargain

About the Book:

The Duke's Bargain (Proper Romance Regency)

Title: The Duke’s Bargain
Author: Megan Walker
Publisher: Shadow Mountain Publishers
Release Date: May 5th, 2026
Genre: Regency Romance

Ruined by scandal, Georgiana bargains with a duke to regain her place in Society. But their pretend friendship sparks real love, risking reputations, duty, and unexpected happily-ever-afters.

Eight months after a stolen kiss ruined her reputation, Miss Georgiana Wood is a recluse, cast out of Society without any hope of ever finding a suitable match. Longing for redemption, she never expects her salvation to arrive in the form of a handsome, temperamental duke.

After a failed bargain left the Duke of Marlow without a promised wife and heir, he must face courtship a final time. He plans to entice his future bride with a priceless family heirloom—one now in the possession of Miss Wood, who agrees to return it if he takes her on three outings in London during the Season to restore her reputation.

As the pair navigate Society’s expectations and whispered gossip, Marlow soon sees a new side to Georgiana—an ally and friend. Her wit and courage, grace and allure far exceed that of the eligible ladies he intended to court, and soon, he’d do almost anything to secure her happiness.

As Marlow wrestles with duty and desire, Georgiana begins to hope that she could be loved not despite her past, but because of who she truly is. When hearts are tested, truth and secrets revealed, will love be enough to risk it all?

Book Review:

Oh my goodness! This was just so good. The characters, the redemption, the story. It was simply perfect and I didn’t want to put it down. The Duke’s Bargain is written by Megan Walker and it is set after Miss Newbury’s List. This was honestly an excellent book.

Georgiana and the Duke of Marlow were not the heroes of previous stories. They had their flaws and had a lot of growing to do. They were honestly sort of the villain but it was so cool to see them grow and really get to know them. They were brought together by bargains and contracts, however they never could have guessed how their relationship would change.

I actually liked both Georgiana and Marlow from the beginning of the book. You were able to see their thoughts. They were trying their best and failing at times. Georgiana was lonely and just wanted a friend. Marlow was trying to live up to his own expectations of what a duke should be.

I liked how they were comfortable with each other, although they did get on each other’s nerves. They were able to be themselves with each other. Honestly, the growth of their relationship was so sweet. I loved how they both wrestled with their feelings for each other, it felt real. Georgiana had to figure out what she really wanted in life and Marlow had to learn what kind of person he wanted to be.

There were so many great things about this book! Both Marlow and Georgiana learned to love and consider others. I really liked the side characters, Marlow’s family was a lot but sweet. I adored Georgiana’s relationship with her brother. One of the things that I loved about this book was how they helped each other be better versions of themselves without truly changing how they were.

I would totally recommend this book! I am excited to see what else Walker writes. The Duke’s Bargain is a clean historical romance.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher through Netgalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Author: Deb Goodman
Release Date: March 20th, 2026
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Falling for my brother’s best friend was a terrible idea.
Falling for him again? Catastrophic.

Pro quarterback Taysom Reed was my first crush—and my first heartbreak. I learned the hard way that wanting things—wanting him—can be dangerous. So when he shows up out of nowhere at my workplace just minutes after I lose my job, the timing feels cruel.

With funding cuts, my career—and my young clients’ access to treatment—hang in the balance. Desperate, I ask Taysom for help. He can’t give it, though, and suddenly things are even more awkward between us.

Except, he keeps showing up in unexpected ways, and the feelings I swore were long gone come rushing back. I don’t trust his foundation, the university’s politics, or my own heart—especially after how badly things ended before.

Unfortunately, my rescue kitten, Miley, has already decided she loves him.

The little traitor.

Second chances are risky. But when Taysom starts proving he’s in this for real, I have to wonder…
What if some plays are worth running twice?

Book Review:

Charlotte was such a fun narrator! I loved her genuineness and earnestness. She cared so much for the kids she worked with and the work that they did at the Center. I really felt for her as she tried to grapple with the loss that of the Center and the sudden re-appearance of Taysom into her life. Charlotte had some hang-ups and misplaced beliefs about herself that she had to work through, but I loved seeing the support Taysom had for her.

Taysom was a sweetheart. He cared so much for Charlotte. He also had a lot of beliefs from childhood about what he could and should do for his future. Taysom tried so hard to care for Charlotte and support her. I loved how he cared for his mom! Both Taysom and Charlotte had to choose each other and what was best for them together. They were so sweet together and I loved seeing them grow. Having a shared history allowed them to really reconnect well, they already knew each other in a lot of ways.

Miley was adorable! I loved the way she brought them together and the continued thread of the Friends Fur-ever. It was really cool to see Taysom and Charlotte work together and I was rooting for them. This sports romance has only kisses.

I received an ARC.

Buying Love

About the Book:

Title: Buying Love

Release Date: April 8th, 2022
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

Will money ruin everything?

Nina Warrenton is ready for the next step in her life plan—marriage. Only no one has proposed. Taking matters into her hand, she places an ad in the newspaper hoping to entice a willing stranger. But when she begins to fall for the small-town chef, she realizes how much she wants him to love her and not her money.

Dwight Williams needs fast cash to save the family restaurant. When he sees Nina’s monetary offer for a husband, he goes for it. He’s determined to save the legacy his dad left him, but can he let it go to prove his love for her?

Can Nina and Dwight find true love, once money has entered the equation?

Book Review:

I have loved all of Toni Shiloh’s books and this one was no different. I was a little worried because of the concept but I had nothing to worry about. This is the second Toni Shiloh book that I have read and I ended up really enjoying it. I have to admit I read things out of order, so I ended up reading the 4th book, Risking Love first. Buying Love is the first book in Toni Shiloh’s Maple Run series.

I really liked the characters in Buying Love. Nina and Dwight were so likable. Nina was looking for a family and Dwight was trying to save his family’s restaurants. Nina and Dwight were both kind people who were just trying their best.

It was so interesting to read about Nina and her life. She had grown up as an orphan and all she wanted was to find a family. She had everything in the world’s eyes, she was settled and had a good job, but she wanted a home. Nina was strong and I liked how she went to God for guidance. Although it was odd how she went about finding a husband, she still tried to seek God’s counsel. She still had her faults. She needed to learn how to trust Dwight and to not let her fears keep her from seeing the family God has given her.

Dwight was also a nice guy. He was sweet and he just wanted to help his family. I liked how he also went to God for guidance and how he cared for Nina. He didn’t love her at first, but he respected her. I really enjoyed reading about their relationship as it grew and as they fell in love with each other. They balanced each other out. Dwight had to deal with not only his family’s restaurant but also the expectations of his family. I wasn’t sure how to feel about his family at first, but they grew on me. Buying Love was a great start to the series and leaves you wanting more. I loved the characters and the story grew on me. I would definitely recommend this book! I would also recommend the rest of the books, they just keep on getting better and better. Buying Love is a clean, Christian romance.

Book Review:

Ahh! I loved this book ! I didn’t want to put it down. The books in this series just keep on getting better and better. Perfectly Pretend is the 5th book in Grace Worthington’s Perfect Crush Hockey Romance. I just loved this book and the characters

Scarlett and Brendan had history. He used to be her brother’s best friend and they were almost “something” years ago. It was cool to learn about their story and history. They knew each other well but had drifted apart. They both had feelings for each other but were afraid to even consider a relationship.

They had to learn to be brave for each other and be willing to risk their hearts. As they pretended to date, they began to wish for something more. Scarlett was so strong but I love how Brendan saw her and encouraged her. He always wanted her to succeed. Brendan was trying to prove himself to his uncle but Scarlett helped him see that he was enough. They were honestly perfect together. Brendan cared for Scarlett and Scarlett helped him let loose.

Brendan’s family was a lot of fun and I love how they just accepted Scarlett. They reminded me of my crazy but loving family. I also loved seeing the hockey team, they were each other’s found family. The scenes where Brendan was with the boys were just hilarious.

I adored this book and I would totally recommend it! The characters and the story were everything! I love the themes of family, standing up for yourself, and choosing to love. I am so excited for the next books to come! Perfectly Pretend is a closed door romantic comedy.
