Dog-Eared Daydreams

Something Like Hate (Chicago Grizzlies #1) by Piper Rayne Release Date: September 26, 2023 About Something Like Hate I love him. I loathe him. It’s like plucking daisy petals in my head, but he’ll never know. When Miles Cavanaugh, the best safety in the league, was traded to the Chicago Grizzlies football team last year, I could finally breathe. Temptation was miles away. How naïve to think it would end there because when the opportunity to write for a national magazine based in Chicago lands in my lap months later, I can’t turn it down. Sure, it’s a big city, but the sexual energy feels like a beacon between us the minute my plane lands. To make matters worse, I end up having to take over the job of reporting exclusively on the Chicago Grizzlies. Which means traveling with the team, interviewing players, and pretty much having an all-access pass to their lives during the season. Miles and I put up a great front, quickly hating on one another, but we both know it’s a

Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Wildfire Marketing. "You ruined my life by not being in it, Hadley. So, yes, fucking apologize to me." It's been a while since I've rated a book five-plus stars, but I'm not all that surprised that it's the newest book from Eliah Greenwood that's earned it. P.S. I'm Still Yours  is in the same book universe as the author's Easton High  series--which I was rather obsessed with--but it absolutely works as a standalone, so if you have yet to read the aforementioned series or are new to Greenwood's work, this latest release from her is an excellent one to dive into. All that being said, I really hope that this also serves as the first in a spin-off series because there are quite a few notable supporting characters that I wouldn't mind getting to know a whole lot better, and by "wouldn't mind" I mean "desperately need to".

Honeyed (The Ashton Family #2) by Carrie Aarons Release Date: September 22 , 2023 About Honeyed Growing up in a house full of brothers, it’s not a surprise that Alana Ashton is the princess of Hope Crest. Being the only female of the small town’s founding family means that while she usually gets her way, she has to work doubly hard to earn and keep respect. Veering from her expected path to follow crazy dreams, like opening her own shop, not only isn’t in the cards, it’s also not taken seriously. So when her best friend, the ex-high school quarterback with a smile of gold and a traumatic past, proposes marriage out of the blue after years of Alana not-so-secretly pining after him, the answer isn’t an automatic no. Marrying him, and the fortune they’ll both inherit if she specifically says I do, could be just the thing to set her vision in motion. But can she keep their decades-long relationship strictly business, or will those long unrequited feelings fool her into thinking this
