POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

UPDATE: As I read these books in 2026, I’m going to check them off below! ✅

——

My take on the 26 for 2026 challenge — I pulled one book from my TBR for each letter of the alphabet to read in 2026 (I was actually shocked that I had a book for every letter) — and this didn’t even include all the fantastic new releases I’m looking forward to next year 😍

Are any of these on your TBR for 2026?

My Renegade by @authorronanmarlow

📚 Get It Here 👉👉 https://a.co/d/04frw02F

CONTENTS:
👑 MM Dark Romance
🐻 Secret Dating
💚 Billionaire x Ex MMA Fighter

Blurb:
👑 Harper
I don’t want him. I *can’t* want him.
My life is carefully controlled. There’s no room for error—no room for desire. I have to live the path my father has set for me. Benny “The Bear” Forrester doesn’t fit into his plan, and I find he’s willing to do *anything* to keep me under his control. The smart move would be to let Benny go.
But for the first time in my life, I’m not sure I want to make the smart move.

🐻 Benny
I want him. Need him. More than air.
Harper is everything to me. After my injury, I thought my fighting days were over, but I realize now the toughest fight of my life is still ahead of me. More than fame, more than glory, Harper is a prize I simply can’t afford to lose. But it’s more than just his walls I have to get through. I’m against an empire, a force intent on keeping us apart at all costs. All my strength means nothing if I can’t protect him and the people I love. I’ll fight for Harper until my dying breath.
He’s my purpose. My world. My Prince.

🎧 Now Listening 🎧 My Revenant by @authorronanmarlow 🎧

My Revenant was one of my fave books in 2025, and now this audiobook is shaping up to by one of my faves too! Michael Lesley is just so freaking good!!

What to Expect ⤵️
🖤 Broken Boys
🖤 Hurt/Comfort
🖤 First Times
🖤 Found Family
🖤 Obsessive/Possessive MCs
🖤 Morally Gray MCs
🖤 Motorcycle Gangs
🖤 One-Sided Hate to Love
🖤 Bitter Ex-Athlete x Unhinged Delinquent

🔥 “There were demons beneath my skin, and they lived to serve my devil.” 🔥

🐇 JONAH 🐇
I’m being hunted.
No matter where I run, the devil always catches up to me. There is nowhere I can go where he can’t reach me. Dex Weller is the devil in human skin, and he calls to my inner demons. I have to run from him and the world of violence he belongs to, because I know if I don’t, I’ll surrender to him completely, and he’ll drag us both into Hell.

😈 DEX 😈
He cannot escape me.
Jonah Hargreaves is mine. He’s been mine since the moment we met. I saw it in his eyes, the way he wanted to surrender everything to me. For a while he did, but now he’s on the run. He’s my prey, my scared little rabbit. It’s only a matter of time before I catch him again, and when I do, I’ll make sure to keep him forever.

My Revenant: Devil & Rabbit is a dark MM romance book. It is book one (1) in the Runaways series, which is highly recommended to be read in order. This book contains explicit content and deals with some heavy themes. Please check the content warnings. by @savvy.shelf
