In The Sweetheart List, Ms Shalvis brings us back to Sunrise Cove in a stand alone read with a brand new group of characters.

The tribe of Campbells surrounding bar owner (and more) Brodie are pure fun and I enjoyed seeing their interactions. Seeing him with his mom and brothers added so much to his unfloding and evolving personality. Harper and Ivy are new to the town and watching them find their way in the community and each other was heartwarming. They were excellent additions to the Campbell mix!

Brodie is what I consider a typical Shalvis hero. He is a little wounded, a lot Alpha, and very sweet under all the gruff. Harper is getting her act together and finding her way to happy, I loved the way these two slightly wounded people helped each other grow and find the missing pieces.

Overall, this is a well written and feel good read. Interesting main characters, fun secondary characters, and a story that will tug on your heart strings. When I reached the end, I was both happy for the characters and sad to see them go. Hopefully, there will be cameos in future Sunrise Cove books....

Double Pucked (My Hockey Romance, #1)Double Pucked by Lauren Blakely

3.5 stars - Worth a Reader's Time

Review Copy Provided by Author

In Double Pucked, we are introduced to two professional hockey teams and their star players who happen to be best friends off the ice. You'd think this would be a great setup for a MM romance, but it's not. It lays the groundwork for these two to discover they are attracted to the same woman and don't want to make her choose.

As we get to know Chase, Ryker, and Trina we see some of their personalities and get to know them a little, but the whole story takes place in just a few weeks, so we don't get super deep dives into who they are. All three characters were easy to like and root for as we saw them have emotional entanglements and evolutions to have a chance at a happy ending.

This is a fairly quick read that focuses more on the steamier parts of the budding romance. If you want the fantasy experience, this is a great escape read!
