🫖 Glacial Slow Burn with Fiery Payoff⁠
⁠
𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
Beautiful Things is wickedly clever, sinfully slow-burning, and downright delicious. This isn’t just historical romance—it’s tea, tension, and toe-curling temptation in corsets.⁠
Rosalie Harrow is broke, brilliant, and done playing by society’s rules. Before settling for life as a governess, she crashes a country house party like a woman who knows better and chooses scandal anyway. And thank god she does—because that’s where she meets not one, not two, but THREE dangerously irresistible men.⁠
⁠
🎖️ Renley: the emotionally bruised lieutenant with eyes that see her⁠
⁠
🎩 James: the brooding moral compass who’s one smolder away from snapping⁠
⁠
💥 Burke: the sharp-tongued rogue with chaos energy and no chill⁠
The yearning? Exquisite. The tension? Like walking barefoot through shattered glass. The spice? A delicious ache that builds until it ignites—your Kindle won’t survive.⁠
⁠
Rosalie wants no part of ownership or marriage. What she craves? Freedom. Pleasure. Real connection. And these men? Oh, they’re just wild enough to give her everything. Rath delivers lingering glances, whispered secrets, scandalous stakes—and that ending? It wrecked me. I need book two like yesterday.⁠

𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
I just tore through Heartbreak Hero, and I need to talk about it because — whew, I’m not okay. 😮‍💨🔥 This book had me in a chokehold from the very first page.⁠ You’ve got second-chance longing. An age-gap slow burn. A gruff, protective bodyguard who has zero chill when it comes to the woman he shouldn’t want. And Sue? She’s plus-size, neurodivergent, and absolutely unstoppable. Their chemistry? Unreal. Their tension? Off the charts.⁠ The humor and banter in this book are delectable! The spice is spicing. I was laughing on one page and sweating the next. Leo’s dirty mouth??? Kindle = fried. And Sue gave it right back, which I loved even more.⁠ It is perfection. Their fast-paced, suspense-filled story was a fantastic start to the Redleg Security series, and I can’t wait to read Sammy’s story next!⁠
⁠
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts:⁠
I listened to the audiobook while reading and OMG. Troy Duran performing as Leo? Holy hotness. That voice could probably break laws. And Savannah Peachwood brought Sue to life with so much heart — her delivery felt effortless and real. Together? Fabulous chemistry. Honestly, 10/10 would listen again just for the spice.⁠

⁠
𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
This was the perfect mix of romance! If you blended heartwarming family vibes with a bit of mafia trauma, added some awkward but fun nerdy spice, and stirred in a sassy tween determined to be Cupid... you’d get Hearts and Hidden Secrets. This anthology was fantastic. Four novellas. Four of my favorite authors. Four completely different worlds. One chaotic, emotionally-charged ride that I absolutely devoured.⁠

🌻 Dandelion Diary, by Devney Perry, is the equivalent of wrapping yourself in a soft flannel and making out with a super-hot, single dad in jeans. Jeff is all gruff sweetness, and Della is sunshine with a grading pen. And Katy? The 12-year-old matchmaker who deserves her own TED Talk. I sobbed. I swooned. I immediately reread the last scene.⁠

🏒 Where It Begins, by Helena Hunting, brought me back to the Pucked world—except this time it’s the parents’ love story. Skye and Sidney’s awkward-meets-sexy origin story is full of laughs, lust, and the kind of “we have teenagers but also horny feelings” energy that made me both laugh hysterically and swoon. It’s tender and spicy in the best way.⁠ Helena Hunting never disappoints!

📱Stud Finder by Lauren Blakely gave us a tech genius with zero dating game and a matchmaker who does not have time for dating nonsense—but ends up falling for him anyway. This novella was nerdy, adorable chaos with major opposites-attract energy. Evie & Dylan = heart eyes.⁠

☠️Jonah Bennett, Tijan, said, “Forget the fluff, here’s a kidnapping and a body count.” Mafia vibes. This one had loads of emotional baggage. Jonah is broken in the most delicious way. Carson is clever, fierce, and not here for his crap…until she totally is. This was gritty, wild, and had my pulse racing.⁠ These two had chemistry, and I was totally into it.

Several Week Catch Up Edition 🤣⁠
⁠
Sharing a little photo dump of the last several weeks—because life lately has been a literal ping-pong match between chaos and joy. First, I had Shingles—10/10 do not recommend. Then we celebrated Romance Bookstore Day at Wanderlust Book Boutique (SO much fun 😍). Followed by… a Shingles relapse. Again, not fun, and highly not recommended. Then I got to recharge at Romantically Yours Book Con with my book besties 💕—a literal blast. And now we’re in the middle of some house renos because apparently I like to suffer. 🫠 Hoping this week brings more PSLs and fewer plot twists, thank you very much.⁠
⁠
✨ I’ll be posting a RYC recap soon—stay tuned for all the spicy, swoony details! ✨⁠
⁠
📖𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈: I’m finishing up the final novella in the ARC for 1001 Dark Nights: Hearts and Hidden Secrets—because apparently, bingeing spicy novellas during a stress spiral is self-care. 🙃 We’re talking heart-healing romance. My review’s coming soon, but just know: it’s so good!⁠
⁠
🎧𝑳𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒐: Doing an immersion read of Beautiful Things by Emily Rath for this Sunday’s book club at @Wanderlustbookboutique! I always wait until the last minute so I can be entirely up to date and emotionally prepared. Rosalie’s journey + that slow-burn Regency why-choose tension = pure obsession.⁠
⁠
🍴☕𝑬𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 & 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈: My usual coffee plus lots of Diet Coke with a generous pour of Goldfish crackers—don’t knock it till you try it. And YES, pumpkin is back, and I’m hitting the fall menu at my favorite local coffee shops. PSL me up, baby. 🎃☕️⁠
⁠
🩷𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈: The cooler morning temps and my annual Pumpkin Spice Lattes. No judgment. Just let me sip my seasonal bliss in peace. ✨🍂⁠ Also? I gave my Kindle Colorsoft a total glow-up with some cute new decor, and I can’t stop admiring it. It’s giving cozy vibes.⁠

🚫Forbidden Romance⁠
🔥Slow Burn to Scorching⁠
💘Found Family
⁠
𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
Over the Moon was pure forbidden sports romance gold with all the Rosewood River charm I’ve come to crave. Clark Chadwick—Stanley Cup champion, hometown golden boy, and self-proclaimed reformed playboy—heads home to rehab after an injury. His new physical therapist? Eloise Gable, brilliant, gorgeous, stubborn as hell… and the coach’s daughter. Cue the instant tension and enough smolder to melt the ice at the rink. Clark is goofy, flirty, and has the kind of big golden retriever energy that makes you want to ruffle his hair one second and shove him against a wall the next. Eloise is determined to keep things professional, but between the summer heat, the small-town closeness, and one spontaneous river dip, resisting Clark becomes impossible. The banter is sharp, the chemistry is hot, and the way Clark looks at Eloise? Forget it. Game over. And can we talk about the Chadwick family? The found family vibes here are elite. Between pickleball obsessions, outrageous convos, and girl gang moments, the side characters make this small town sing. This book had me swooning, laughing, and fanning myself all in one sitting. Pavlov gave me slow-burn sweetness, explosive spice, and characters I wanted to hang out with after the last page. If you love sports romance with heart, heat, and a little rule-breaking, Clark and Eloise will steal yours.
⁠
🎧 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:⁠
Teddy Hamilton and Charlotte North were perfection. Teddy made Clark so flirty, tender, and dirty in all the best ways. I could feel how gone he was for Eloise. Charlotte nailed Eloise’s mix of sass and vulnerability. The audio took the tension and made it ten times more electric. 10/10 recommend listening while reading for the full butterflies-and-blushes experience.⁠

𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
Nico “Junior” Trocci isn’t your typical morally grey MMC—he’s a stalker with a soft spot, a biker with a blood-stained past, and a man who’s been patiently obsessed with Lauren Marchetti for a decade. But when he finally decides to step out of the shadows? Hooo boy, buckle up.⁠ Lauren (Lo) is the bisexual, sex-positive, content-creator QUEEN who owns her sexuality and her club with zero apologies. She’s fierce, funny, and refuses to let her past heartbreak define her. But Junior? Junior is determined to be her present and her future. The sexual tension is delicious, the angst hits hard, and the scenes at the play club? Yeah, good luck reading those without needing a cold shower (or five).⁠ Heads up: don’t go in expecting a typical dark stalker romance—this second chance romance leans more on the light and sweet side, with plenty of spice and heart.⁠ Their romance is full of messy feels, groveling, protective streaks, and an undeniable pull. Add in a hilarious Nonna, a dog with more personality than most side characters (hi Walter 🐶), and enough dirty talk to make your earbuds sweat—this one’s a keeper.⁠ 🔥 Special shoutout to that confessional scene. *SINFULLY hot.*⁠
⁠
🎧𝙰𝚞𝚍𝚒𝚘𝚋𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠ Teddy Hamilton delivers top-tier morally grey energy as Junior (seriously, his voice drips sin), and Kasi Hollowell brings every ounce of Lo’s confidence and sensuality to life. Her Nonna accent?? ICONIC. Audiobook + Kindle combo = chef’s kiss for this spicy, sweet, and slightly dark ride.⁠

𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
Corinne Michaels has officially ruined me—in the BEST possible way—with Against All Odds. This second-chance, not-his-baby, swoony hometown romance had my heart pounding, breaking, and healing all at once. Violet returns to Ember Falls after her Hollywood marriage combusts, seeking peace, only to walk straight into the arms (and open bed 😏) of Everett Finnegan—her childhood sweetheart and the boy she never stopped loving.⁠ And let me tell you: Everett is the blueprint. This man is the softest, swooniest, most fiercely devoted cinnamon roll who would burn down the world for Violet and her surprise baby (that’s NOT his... did I mention that?!). He’s giving single-dad energy without the DNA—swoon.⁠ The emotional depth in this story is stunning. From navigating grief and caretaking to rediscovering your person after years apart, every page felt like a warm, healing hug with an undercurrent of sexy tension and unresolved young love. Violet’s journey back to herself, with Everett as her safe space, had me tearing up more than once.⁠ This is the kind of romance that feels like coming home. Quietly powerful, achingly romantic, and completely unforgettable. My Ember Falls obsession is now at an all-time high, and I’m not mad about it.⁠
⁠
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts:⁠
Andi Arndt and Robert Hatchet nailed the duet narration. The emotion, the chemistry, the vulnerability—every single word felt so intentional. Robert’s voice as Everett? Swoon city. And Andi made Violet’s strength and struggle feel so real. One of my favorite audiobook duos, hands down. I highly recommend listening for an ultimate feels overload!⁠

𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
Beck Weston is an alpha billionaire hockey god who is as dangerous on the ice as he is in the bedroom, and I was NOT ready. From the second he spotted Jolie’s red hair across the bar, he was all in. Three nights. That’s all it was supposed to be. But what happens when a simple fling turns into years of craving, pining, and obsessing? Beck and Jolie’s chemistry is a full-blown blazing inferno. It is angsty, raw, and off-the-charts hot.⁠ This book is pure right person, wrong time, energy. Long-distance relationships, life choices, and a billion reasons they shouldn’t — and yet, Beck? He doesn’t quit. He fights for Jolie with every filthy word and every tender, sweet, and swoony moment. Their relationship unfolds with sizzling tension, miscommunication, forbidden romance complications, and a level of devotion that had me absolutely feral. And THAT scene on the ice? 🥵 Let’s just say Marni outdid herself once again. If you’re in the mood for a cocky MMC who falls so hard he practically breaks the ice, a fierce heroine who keeps him on his toes, and a romance that is equal parts spicy and swoony. This one owns it.⁠

If you love a broody hero with walls a mile high and a sunshine heroine who lights up every page—𝘐 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘉𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 will ruin you (in the best way). Nate Stiles is the ultimate grump: a science nerd with a tragic backstory and a severe aversion to love. Essie Lovelock? A former fairytale addict turned fabulous maid of honor, determined to keep things professional… even though Nate ghosted her six years ago after one perfect kiss. Now forced into wedding duty together, the tension simmers and the banter SPARKS.⁠ The chemistry between Nate and Essie is fire. Their dynamic blends sharp wit, emotional vulnerability, and the kind of slow burn that makes you scream, “JUST TELL HER YOU LIKE HER ALREADY.” Helena Hunting writes the heck out of this grumpy/sunshine pairing, and when Nate finally lets his walls crack? 🥵 Worth. Every. Page.⁠ The Toronto Terror cameos gave me all the cozy found family feels, and the wedding party chaos kept me grinning. Hello, salsa lessons & bachelor/bachelorette shenanigans! Plus, Nate being a hot nerd with science talk AND emotional growth? Oh, boy. Swoon time. Read this, my friends! You won’t be disappointed.⁠

If surviving on caffeine, calendar alerts, and sheer willpower were an Olympic sport, I'd have the gold medal and the burnout. The last two weeks have been a nonstop medical montage: doctors, radiology, therapy, pharmacies, the whole chaotic shebang. My TBR and bookstagram? Gasping for attention. My Kindle and headphones? Judging me. But listen, the universe threw me a glitter bomb of joy when I got to take a quick break to meet the fabulous G.M. Fairy at Wanderlust Book Boutique a few weekends ago. ✨ That moment? It was worth the chaos.

P.S. Anyone waiting on ARC reviews...Please bear with me. I promise they are coming soon. Life has thrown me some curveballs over the past few weeks, and I've had to adjust. I will be back to regular scheduled posting very soon!💕

📖 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈: I've got two ARCs on deck: The Wildest One by Marni Mann and Crazy Love by Willow Aster. Expect all the steam, snark, and late‑night page‑turning. I'm ready to dive into these bad boys and finish them ASAP. 🔥

🎧 𝑳𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒐: The ALC of Helena Hunting's I Could Be Yours finally hit my inbox, and I pressed play immediately. I'm already obsessed... a standalone in the Toronto Terror universe, all the flirty banter and delicious tension? My headphones are working overtime.

🍴☕ 𝑬𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 & 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈: Honestly? I very well may be made entirely of coffee and matcha at this point. No shame here; I need that buzz to keep all these appointments in check. ☕

🩷 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈: Book bedazzling has become my latest self-care ritual. There's something so soothing about blinging out a cover while an audiobook plays in my ears. Plus, attending Wanderlust Book Boutique’s Bedazzling events with my daughters and book besties? Fabulous. 💎

👀 𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝑻𝒐: Romantasy girlies, listen up. I'm so ready for Wanderlust Book Boutique's next movie night on July 11, and you should come too. They're showing Wicked (nope, not that Wicked 😉), adapted from Jennifer L. Armentrout's Wicked Trilogy. Perfect bookish girls' night out. 🍿

𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
Lights Out grabbed me by the throat (literally and figuratively) and didn't let go. Aly is the trauma nurse with a spine of steel and snark for days, and Josh? The masked, TikTok-famous hacker with a penchant for knives, praise, and cat cuddles. 🔪 I was not prepared to fall in love with a STALKER, but here we are. He's a cinnamon roll with murdery energy, a consent king who says "good girl" like it's a spell. Their chemistry? Explosive. 💥The banter? Immaculate. The spice? Unhinged in the BEST way. This isn't just a dark romantic comedy—it's a full-blown obsession. Fred the cat deserves his own novella, tbh.⁠ 😻⁠
⁠
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts:⁠
Elena Wolfe and Jacob Morgan? They understood the assignment. Elena was the perfect Aly—fiery, funny, fearless. And Jacob as Josh? Dangerous, dreamy, and delicious. His masked voice alone deserves an award. This duo turned this dark romance into an all-consuming audio experience. Don't walk—run to listen.⁠ 👟⁠

Hot Shot is the romantic gut punch with a side of sizzle that I didn’t know I needed. Cass and Wilder are high school sweethearts who impulsively married in Vegas before splitting for college—planning to annul it. Except… Wilder never filed the papers. Flash forward ten years: Cass is left at the altar (shoutout to Wild Card), only to learn she was never legally single in the first place—plot twist of the YEAR.⁠ But wait—another twist: Wilder has a daughter he never knew about. Her name is Cricket (yes, adorable), her mom just died in a suspicious fire, and now Wilder needs Cass to pretend to be his wife so he can gain custody. Only it’s not pretend. Because legally, they are married. Cue the chaos.⁠ ⁠Wilder isn’t your grumpy, closed-off hero. He is a total cinnamon roll wrapped in fire gear—open-hearted, fiercely loving, and 1000% obsessed with Cass. He’s not playing it cool. He’s playing for keeps. The way he steps into fatherhood overnight with Cricket? MELTED ME. The way he talks about Cass like she hung the moon? END ME. This man said, “My wife,” and meant it. And Cass? She’s sharp, sarcastic, and in her stepmom era, whether she’s ready or not. The banter snaps, the tension simmers, and when these two finally give in? You’ll need a fan. Or an extinguisher. Or both.⁠ Also, there’s a legit mystery brewing in the background, and I was EATING IT UP. Hot Shot delivers small-town chaos, blazing chemistry, and heart-deep romance—10/10 firefighter smut with feels. Staci Hart, you’ve done it again.⁠

Hot Shot was our May pick for @wanderlustbookboutique Book Club… and let’s just say things got real spicy between the pages AND in our book chat. 😈🔥 Join us for Caught Up next! ⁠

I've been riding the struggle bus all week, and I swear Mother Nature is personally out to get me. She cranked the heat up to "boil your face off" levels, and I was NOT prepared. Can we fast-forward to fall already? I'm ready for sweaters, cider, and spooky season,🍂 One bright spot? @hannahgrzech convinced me to abandon my ice-cold cave of A/C and hit our favorite beach for some Kindle time. Sunshine, salty breeze, and spicy reads = a necessary reset.

☕𝑬𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 & 𝑫𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈: Running solely on coffee and Diet Coke. I'm not saying caffeine is my emotional support system, but it is.

😍𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈: Immersive reading is my entire personality right now. Duet and multi-cast audiobooks? Inject them directly into my soul. The tension hits harder, the emotion feels deeper, and I swear it takes spicy scenes to a whole new level.

𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
Holy hotness — this book was taboo, messy, hot as hell, and absolutely addictive! 🔥 I honestly didn't know what to expect going into Hush, Hush... and it blew me away. Lucia Franco pulled me deep into the glamorous, forbidden world of Manhattan's elite and dropped me straight into the ultimate wrong-but-so-right love story. Aubrey is living a double life she can't afford to expose, but when James Riviera walks in? Game over. Their connection is instant, explosive, and utterly irresistible. James. 😮‍💨 James is sex on a stick, full-on silver fox energy with a filthy mouth, total control issues, and just enough sweetness to wreck you emotionally. He's everything I love in a morally gray MMC—obsessed, commanding, and magnetic. The tension? ✔️ The angst? ✔️ The spice?🔥 Scorching. Yes, this story crosses lines (big ones). Yes, it's messy. Yes, it's controversial. And you know what? I LOVED IT. I rooted hard for these two despite all the chaos, bad choices, and forbidden vibes. Lucia Franco made me feel every lie, every kiss, every gut-wrenching twist. And that ENDING? Chef's kiss perfection. If you're not afraid of spice, morally questionable characters, and forbidden love that feels dangerously real, Hush, Hush needs to be at the top of your TBR.

🎧 Audiobook Thoughts:
I did an immersive read with the audiobook, and WOW. Elizabeth Hart's performance took the intensity and seduction of this story to a whole new level. She captured Aubrey's vulnerability and James's dominance so perfectly that every whispered demand and every forbidden moment hit ten times harder. If you want the full, blush-worthy experience? Definitely do audio.

𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝑯𝒆𝒓 𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 knocked it out of the park and into my heart (and a few other places 🫠). Bridget Woods is everything—plus-size, fierce, funny, and done with everyone's BS. So when she strikes a fake-fiancée deal with the hot mess Locke Pack? She thinks she's calling the shots. But plot twist: she didn't count on catching feelings. Enter four alpha baseball players who are as emotionally chaotic as they are hot—each one a walking kink category. Jesse's the golden retriever cinnamon roll. Colt is the broken bada$$ with secret cat dad vibes. Dante is the extra AF drama king. And Aiden? Alpha daddy leader who sees right through Bridget's defenses. Together? They're a swoony, spicy pack that had me feral. Bridget doesn't go quietly into this fake setup—she kicks, screams, and works her way into their lives and hearts. But when the headline drama explodes, and they all move in? Let's just say one bed isn't enough. The nesting, the ruts, the HEAT... It's omegaverse done so right. Ari Wright doesn't just write reverse harem. She crafts them—with layers, laughs, angst, and enough heat to scorch your Kindle. Found family? Check. Emotional growth? Check. Grumpy neighbors and a loveable orange cat named Munchies? Double check. If you want curvy girl rep, vulnerable alphas, and the sweetest spicy chaos—you need this book.⁠

𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠

𝑫𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔⁠? More like double the trouble and double the swoon! This was pure MFM goodness with just the right mix of high-heat spice and surprisingly sweet moments. Kate is freshly divorced, a little lost, and wildly ready to rediscover her body, her boundaries, and her bada$$ self. I LOVED that she didn’t just fall into the twins’ bed post-marriage—she explored, experimented, and figured out what she liked first. Empowerment is sexy, y’all.⁠
⁠
Now let’s talk twins—Gavin and Ben. The mix-up? DELICIOUS. Even though I knew exactly how that sexy chaos went down, I still wanted Kate to make them suffer just a little more for that shady move. Thankfully, they grovel well (and that Publix cake scene is a classic). Florida girls KNOW how iconic that was 💯 (I love some Publix cake). Gavin is the dominant, control-freak alpha, while Ben is all soft grins and slow burn. Together? Devastating.
⁠
The spice? Supreme. Hot, filthy, but still approachable. Kate, being a switch, added depth to the situation—it felt authentic and dynamic, especially in the group scenes. Many romance reads fall into one-note tropes with submissives or dommes, but this book expertly navigates the complexity of fluid desires.

As for the side plot with her ex-husband, Will—the stalking, threats, and drama—it added just the right amount of outside conflict to contrast the emotional beats of Kate’s journey. And that ending? Wrapped up with a perfect balance of spice and sweetness.⁠

𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:⁠
If you’ve ever fantasized about a flannel-clad, broody mountain man who starts off grumpy AF but eventually melts into a panty-thieving softie—Mountain Boss is the spicy escape you need. Courtney shows up broke and hopeful, only to be met with Sterling, a man who’s more lumberjack scowl than welcome wagon. He’s determined to make her quit before she even unpacks her tools...but he wasn’t prepared for the fierce, curvy woman who refuses to back down. Sterling may come off as a jerk at first—grumpy, dismissive, and way too focused on keeping things “professional” (LOL)—but that rough exterior cracks fast. The moment he starts falling? It’s game over. He’s possessive, tender, and obsessed in the best way. The tension? 🔥 The spice? Frequent, escalating, and deliciously filthy. And when he softens? HEART. MELTED. S.J. Tilly masterfully balances humor, heat, and heart, delivering a story that’s vulnerable, raw, and HOT. The quick POV flips, and short chapters keep you locked in, and the chemistry is off the charts.⁠ Also? Shoutout to the side characters—Fisher, Cook, and Lady Bear—you’re all invited to the spin-off party. Let’s go. 🥰⁠
⁠
🎧 Audiobook Thoughts: The duet narration by Erin Mallon and Connor Crais absolutely slaps. Their voices are Courtney and Sterling. They bring the angst, the heat, and the heart—especially in those scenes (you know, the ones). 10/10 recommend the immersive read + listen combo.⁠
