Whistle in the Sky - Flash Fiction
TRIGGER WARNING: War
Whistle in the sky. We run into the hallway and hide.

The crash of breaking windows sounds in ballet class. The teacher looks at us, makes sure everyone is alright, and lets out a breath. “Class is over. Call your folks to take you home.”

| Oh my—this book is one huge, messy, unhinged, and totally unhealthy romance… and I absolutely loved it. From the very start, the author makes it clear that this story is an exploration of fantasy rather than reality, and that framing is essential. Re ...more | |

Usually, I don’t gravitate toward military romances set during WWII, but The Broken Dawn being an MM romance set in neutral Sweden convinced me to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did. I absolutely loved it. The story follows Jacob and spare Prince Har ...more |

| Yours. Always. is a atmospheric short detective story that questions what love really means—and how obsession can twist it into something terrifying. The premise is chillingly clever: would you feel flattered if someone painted you a heart for Valent ...more | |

The Courtship Trap (Inconvenient Ventures #1; Inconvenient Brides #11)
by Nina Jarrett (Goodreads Author) |

I truly loved The Courtship Trap. This is a beautifully written second-chance Regency romance that leans hard into themes of redemption, regret, and the courage it takes to change. Sebastian and Harriet share a painful past—once planning to elope, onl ...more |

| Hearts on Ice is a beautifully paced MM hockey romance that uses the double-bi-awakening and age-gap tropes to great effect. The relationship between Miguel, the team’s goalie, and Drew, the coach, feels earned not only because of their age differenc ...more | |

| Fragile is a cross-genre anthology that is surprisingly easy to review because its concept is so clear—and so well executed. I absolutely adored the structure of this collection. Everything begins with a single, binding narrative: a moving company wo ...more | |

| Bitter Sweet is probably the best Valentine’s Day–themed short read I’ve come across, and it fits perfectly alongside Erica Damon’s other thrillers. Jo runs a shadowy business built on revenge against partners who mistreat their other halves, and tha ...more | |
“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”
