Review: Forced Proximity by Lani Lynn Vale (Content Advisory #7)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions.

Seven books in, and I'm still enjoying the heck out of the Content Advisory series, thanks in large part to Lani Lynn Vale offering up highly entertaining stories and main characters you become emotionally invested in from cover to cover. In Forced Proximity, I do believe that I've found my favorite book in the series (so far, what with one final book in the offing). If you've been following the series, you may recall Finnian Reins, aka Apollo, making his presence known in the earlier releases. I'm not quite sure how old he is, but I'm guessing he's in his mid- to late thirties. He's a master hacker who also happens to be a state representative. A proud member of the Truth Tellers, the men who make up the motorcycle club and their women and children are his family. They have stayed by his side as he's tried to move forward after the sudden loss of his son, Tavi, but he's merely wading through life, uninterested in much of anything...until he meets Drusilla Rossi, a thirty-two-year-old charge nurse at Dallas Memorial. Could a bit of spying, a hint of hacking, a plane crash, and a couple of tornadoes be the start of their true love story?

Talk about a whirlwind of a beginning to a romance! Apollo and Dru, aka her Finnian and his Silla, were obsessed with each other from the get-go, and there was no force of nature or mentally unstable human that could get in the way of these two making their way to their happily-ever-after. I was swept up in their story from the moment she noticed him as he was listening to a lobbyist who just happened to be the fiancé of her older sister. Everything else that followed soon thereafter was an intriguing mix of life-altering events that forged and fortified their bond. These two not only deserved their HEA, but they were meant to have it together. Forced Proximity is the penultimate Content Advisory book and gets five stars.

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...

Release Blitz: Make the Play by Kaylee Ryan

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, ...
