🎄Christmas Staycation - @meghanquinnbooks 🎄

RELEASE: 20th October 2026 (TODAY)

Meghan Quinn has done it again and created an absolutely fantastic spicy holiday rom-com. We are back in Kringletown with Taran in an awkward situation with her ex-fiancé Guy who just so happens to be our MMC, Nolan’s, older brother.

Nolan has had a crush on Taran ever since he met her and when Taran lets it slip that she and Guy aren’t together anymore Nolan takes his chance.

This is an absolutely wild Christmas book filled with unhinged comments and questionable use of eggnog. Very much recommend for someone wanting a laugh this holiday season.

💜 In Stormy Weather - @authorchelseacurto 🧡

This was an absolutely fantastic read! I’ve always been curious about weather and as a kid I wanted to be a meteorologist so reading this made me so happy.

I loved the relationship between Quincy and Sebastian and their chemistry was 🔥 I loved that no matter what Quincy stayed true to herself in a field that could have taken her down. I loved that the whole time Sebastian is just in awe of her, always complimenting her and always there to support if she ever needed it.

This is my first Chelsea Curto book and I am so excited to get into the D.C. Stars series now 😁

🩷 The Game Plan - @lauracarterauthor 💚

RELEASE: 31st October 2026

This was a fantastic marriage of convenience x Ice Hockey romance. A few too many drinks in Vegas has Sienna and Jax married only days after she left her cheating ex. After an unfortunate incident Sienna is temporarily working for the New York Dragons in the PR department this happens to be Jax’s team with a strict no fraternisation rule. Do they keep the marriage to save face or give up on something that could be amazing?

The chemistry between these two is fire and the slow burn is perfect. Their relationship although not starting out traditionally is amazing and I love them both together helping each other even when they didn’t realise they needed it.

Definitely a great Ice Hockey Romance read.

I’d like to thank Laura Carter and @boldwoodbooks for the opportunity to ARC read this amazing book.

🫐🍓 I MADE JAM!! 🍓🫐

Specifically I made Raspberry Jam using the Strawberry Jam recipe from The Pumpkin Spice Cafe Cookbook - @lauriegilmore_author it was so easy and the recipe was very simple to follow. And I have jam now 😁

This is a fantastic cookbook it has so many amazing recipes and the units of measurement are in both imperial and metric which is so helpful.

🎃 Halloween Town Series - Joss Wood 🎃

As we are getting closer to Halloween I wanted to shoutout these two books in the Halloween Town Series. These books had me curious as the concept was not what I had read before but I loved it. They are both cozy, spooky, paranormal romcoms and are perfect for the spooky season.

🪻The Faraway Inn - @sarahbethdurst 🪻

I saw this edition and knew I needed to add it to my collection. This book does exactly what the dedication states “𝐹𝑜𝓇 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝑜𝓃𝑒 𝓌𝒽𝑜 𝓃𝑒𝑒𝒹𝓈 𝒶𝓃 𝑒𝓈𝒸𝒶𝓅𝑒, 𝒶 𝓇𝑒𝒻𝓊𝑔𝑒, 𝒶 𝓂𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝓉𝑜 𝒷𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒽𝑒”

It is so cozy and comforting and just beautiful that I find it helps to lift me when I am low. And for that I will always recommend this amazing book.

💙 A Love Like Mulled Wine - @haileyfrostauthor 💙

RELEASE: 13th October 2026

This was a great book and a fantastic end to the Wayward Hollow series. This whole series has been beautifully cozy reads with low drama but amazing emotion written as well and A Love Like Mulled Wine is no different.

Kieran hasn’t had the easiest life relationships wise and Wayward Hollow is the place that he believes he can feel truely like himself and at home he just has to trust his friends with his secret.

Brooke owns an animal shelter and is an absolutely amazing woman, and after an unfortunate and unexpected problem she is set to keep running into Kieran which he couldn’t be happier with even if she is his ex’s sister.

I have been so excited to have Kieran’s book and I’m so glad this is it because I feel like it is exactly right for who he has been throughout the other books and it makes me love him even more.

Thank you to Hailey for this amazing ARC!
