Dog-Eared Daydreams

Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author. Amy Daws'  Harris Brothers book universe is like the gift that keeps on giving, and the latest goody that Daws has pulled out of her seemingly bottomless (goody) bag is a new spin-off featuring the sibling's-worst-enemy trope. Wait, what?! Yes, you read that right, although I wouldn't really classify the male main character as being the female main character's older brother's worst enemy. (Did you catch all that?) Let's just say that said brother would rather have his sister be with anyone but the guy who's hoping for a second chance with the girl, but the girl wishes they could just forget their entangled past. Replay is the story of Santino Rossi and Tilly Logan. He's the thirty-six-year-old staff lawyer for football club Bethnal Green--the same club where Vaughn Harris, patriarch of the Harris family, is the team manager--a position he's had for nearly a decade. She's the thirty-t

Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions. I can't believe it's been about five years since I last read one of Molly McLain's books! Shame, shame, shame, I know. I'm going to need to work my way through those books of hers that I've missed; in the meantime, I'm rather happy that I was able to become reacquainted with her writing by way of the first book in her brand-new series (squee!), Cole Creek . This is a small-town romance set in a fictional Wisconsin town (although a quick cursory Google search shows that a body of water named Cole Creek actually does exist in the state), with part of it having Green Bay as a backdrop as well. The series starter, We're Made of Moments , is also a single parent, second-chance romance, but here we've got both main characters being single parents to the same child, but no, they were never a couple! Have I got you all intrigued yet? Maybe this should be called a co-
