Review: Just Say Maybe by Tracy March (Thistle Bend #2)


Note: This ARC was provided by Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Author Tracy March has done it again with the second novel in her Thistle Bend series, with Just Say Maybe bringing readers the story of real estate lawyer Holly Birdsong, who was introduced in the first novel, Should've Said No, and adventure property developer Bryce Bennett. The latter is in Thistle Bend to purchase Lodge at Wild Rose Ridge and the former takes him as her latest client. Holly's apprehensive about having anything to do with the property, but Bryce is intent on working with her, especially since being in each other's company is an unexpected bonus. From starting off as smitten to having a simmering attraction that could become much more, Holly and Bryce may have something worth exploring. But will Holly and her family's connection to the property and Bryce's well-kept secret put a stop to their feelings?

I quite liked this sequel and the town of Thistle Bend is more than growing on me. Holly and Bryce were the kind of couple that simply clicked from the beginning and you knew that they were meant to be. Of course, it was going to be smooth sailing, not with the history Holly had connected to the property that Bryce was planning to purchase but also Bryce's secret. Now, avid romance readers know that secrets kept for far too long end up wreaking havoc on relationships that are just getting off the ground. Heck, they wreak havoc on established relationships as well! And if the romance aspect isn't enough, there's a dash of mystery suspense thrown into the mix and it fits the story and where it was headed, so a definite bonus there. With two good reads, I'm looking forward to book three in October. Four stars for Just Say Maybe. ♥

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Image
Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

Make the Play (Nashville Rampage #1) by Kaylee Ryan Release Date: June 24, 2025 About Make the Play Corie Knox Beckett is heartbreak in a helmet. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he's untouchable. But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both. The rules are clear. We just chose not to follow them. Now we’re sneaking around like we’re running a trick play, hooking up behind closed doors, and pretending our actions don’t have the power to blow up our lives. Knox is under my skin and tackling his way into my heart. Ready or not, it's time we make the play. Knox She’s the last girl I’m allowed to want—my best friend’s little sister. She’s all grown up and looking at me in invitation. The second Corie crashes into me, with her tanned, toned skin, in a barely there bikini, I know I’m in trouble. I shouldn’t look. And I sure as hell shouldn’t touch. My hands are already on her waist, one second longer, ...
