Thanks to the publisher & Netgalley for the complimentary e-ARC. All opinions provided are my own. This blog post includes affiliate links.Fan Service by Rosie Danan didn’t have me totally feeling like I had found my fated mate, but it is hot & heart-satisfying. Devin is an actor who wants to revitalize the role that’s his claim to fame: a werewolf. But no one in Hollywood is into his plan, & then he inadvertently turns into a real life werewolf . Humiliated by a recent public shift & alone, he turns to the moderator behind the fandom archive for his former werewolf show: a woman named Alex who lives in middle of nowhere Florida. This is one of those stories where you have to lean into it all. Though Devin made me mad sometimes, I also appreciated that he wasn’t a perfect person & he could still love others even though he’s self-absorbed & used to the spotlight that even he places on himself. The fact that he’s most in danger of shifting uncontrollably when Alex’s in pain really got to me. 4⭐️. Out 03/11. Please see a trusted reviewer’s list of CWs.

Thanks to the publisher & Netgalley for the complimentary e-ARC. All opinions provided are my own. This blog post includes affiliate links.Ali Hazelwood’s versatility shines again in Deep End, with her taking on new adult characters, negotiation, & family & sports-related trauma. Scarlett & Lukas are star athletes, the latter in his medal-winning prime, & the former, trying to recover from a traumatic dive gone wrong. Thanks partially to the machinations Scarlett’s friend & Lukas’s ex, they enter into a FWB situation (or maybe Acquaintances WB situation at first), that turns into something more with Hazelwood’s trademark mix of slow burn & intensity. If you like Hazelwood’s other books, I think you’ll like this one. She does magnetic yet seemingly implacable heroes so well. Scarlett is a great heroine too, someone who’s reserved to so many people but who lets herself be soft & vulnerable with Lukas. Hot & rich with emotion, Deep End is a scintillating AH treat. 4.33⭐️. Out 02/04.CWs: parental loss, parental abuse, sports-related trauma.
Thanks to the publisher & Netgalley for the complimentary e-ARC. All opinions provided are my own. This blog post includes affiliate links.An imprisoned hero who’s been mind- & body-manipulated into a killer super-soldier. A heroine who’s gonna save him & some others by battling space baddies with her tech pad. & some smooching. Chaos by Constance Fay is a mostly satisfactory installment in this series, serving up lots of plans & escape attempts & two people falling in love against all the odds. Despite all the thrills, I had some problems reading it easily & quickly, although that might be a January thing (it’s been 7 years long, after all). My brain didn’t feel fully equipped to handle it all, not to mention that there are some weighty topics that get kind of glossed over at the end. 3⭐️. Out 03/11.CWs: murder, attempted murder, manipulation, bodily mutation without consent
