Dog-Eared Daydreams

So Right (Boys of South Chapel #4) by Abby Millsaps Release Date: January 31, 2025 About So Right It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Spence swore he had a plan. He assured us he had everything under control. He promised we could trust him. What he forgot to mention?  His so-called plan was actually an emotional bombshell with enough force behind it to destroy us all. Technically, his plan worked—my mother and stepfather have ended their campaign to convince me to be a living organ donor. But the emotional damage and mental load of his big announcement has created a ripple effect throughout our cohort. Greedy  is haunted and despondent. Levi  is initially shocked, then filled with shame. Sione  is simply annoyed, because he knows this is all a ruse. Spence is stoic but more determined than ever to ensure our safety. As for me? I feel it all. Every sorrowful reaction and warranted frustration thrums through my veins. But there’s something else ...

Stealing Hearts (Wild at Heart #1) by Lex Martin Release Date: January 30, 2025 About Stealing Hearts A marriage of convenience might save his ranch, but will it break her heart? I don't remember a time when I didn't love Rhett Walker, which is complicated since he's ten years older and my brother's best friend. After a falling out, we didn't speak for years--until today, when he found me sleeping in my car, threw me over his shoulder, and dragged me "to safety". He's grumpy and overprotective and even more handsome than I remembered. I'm shocked to learn he's in trouble. Someone is sabotaging his ranch, which is thirty days from foreclosure. He needs a loan from a friend who won't extend the funds unless he's married. Only Rhett's now a single dad with no plans to fall in love again. When his brother suggests I marry Rhett for health insurance so I can rehab an injury, my first reaction is hell no. I can't afford t...

Comeback (The Holland Brothers #3) by Rebecca Jenshak Release Date: January 30, 2025 About Comeback My brother’s best friend is such a jerk. An imposing, handsome jerk who doesn’t trust me. And now we’re roommates. He wanders around the apartment in nothing but gray sweatpants, looking like a broody, tattooed muscle god, and playing music that shakes the walls. I want to hate him for treating me like an intruder, but there’s something about the way he looks at me—like he’s trying to figure me out—that keeps pulling me in. Archer Holland is loyal, caring, and protective—with everyone except me. Every time I move around our apartment, I can feel his glare. And the worst part? It only makes me want him more. Not that it matters. He’s my brother’s best friend—the one guy I can never have. But after a late-night rescue, we go from sharing a wall to sharing a bed. I’m not sure what my brother would do if he found out, but it doesn’t matter because Archer says it can’t happen a...

Irreversible by Jennifer Hartmann & Chelley St Clair Release Date: January 30, 2025 About Irreversible They say the best kept secrets are hidden in the darkest places. I know that better than anybody… Because I’m one of them. I spend my days locked in a black-market nightmare, held captive by a twisted mastermind who considers me his prized possession. My only form of human contact are the victims in the next room, each of whom disappears faster than the last. Everyone leaves...except me. Then I hear him—Isaac. Brash, elusive, and haunted, he isn't anyone's idea of a hero. Separated by a wall, our faces hidden, his voice cuts through the darkness, becoming my only hope. He's driven by vengeance, bearing scars as dark as my own. Despite his rough edges, a fragile bond forms between us—a lifeline. Isaac might be my best chance of escape, but time is slipping away. Breaking free will mean outrunning both our pasts, and in this twisted game, the cost of free...

Not Catching Love (Accidental Love #5) by Saxon James Release Date: January 30, 2025 About Not Catching Love Xander There’s something seriously wrong with me. For once, I’m not talking about the health anxiety that randomly pops up and wreaks havoc on my life. I'm talking about, well, everything else. All my roommates have found someone to love them, and it hurts to see the guys who used to have me at the center of their worlds pair off and grow up, especially when it’s a reminder of everything wrong with me. I’ve always had an issue with relationships. With forming a connection with people outside of Seven, but this is more. Because I want to find my someone. Except the one person my brain has latched onto is the one person I can never have. The one person who’s there to help me when my panic attacks get too much. Nurse Derek. Derek I should never have offered to treat Xander Moore. And now here I am years later, my life on hold, while I wait day in and day out for the call...

Sterling Fight (Sterling Falls #5) by L.B. Dunbar Release Date: January 30, 2025 About Sterling Fight These former friends might be faking their engagement, but revealed crushes prove there might not be anything fictional about their arrangement. In college, I often saw Judd Sylver in the library. He was a cool, broody type of guy who reminded me of a deeply tortured soul who might write poetry. He was very different from the boy I met in third grade on National Make a New Friend Day when I passed him a note, asking if he wanted to be my new friend: Check yes or no. (I’m a bit obsessed with calendar days.) He was also vastly different from the young man who stood me up after I asked him to his prom. Twenty years later, I can let bygones be bygones, especially when he rescues me from a bad date. Then I witness him breaking up with his girlfriend which resulted in a sticky coffee drink on his chiseled cheeks and ice cubes on his fine-fitting jeans. I offered him a nap...
