Dog-Eared Daydreams

Long Time Coming by S.L. Scott Release Date: May 1, 2025 About Long Time Coming It didn’t take long for news to spread that Tagger Grange was back in Peachtree Pass. I found out even faster when I fell right into his arms— not by choice. The barstool wobbled under me when reaching for a cheddar biscuit. They’re my weakness. Much like he used to be. Rolled up sleeves and tailored pants have replaced the boots and jeans my brother’s best friend once wore. But it’s not just the clothes that have changed. His shoulders are broader and he’s broodier. Somehow, he's even more handsome than ever. And seeing the little boy smiling at his side? My heart instantly melts. I can't handle Tagger as a hot single dad. Since he has no plans to stay, I know it’s best to avoid him. But daily run-ins at Rollingwood Ranch make him hard to ignore, and even harder to walk away. His heated glances warm my insides, his smile awakens my dormant heart, and one stormy night leads to crossin...

Under One Roof (Stone Family #1) by Sophie Andrews Release Date: May 1, 2025 About Under One Roof She’s sunshine and cute chaos. I’m her new boss. As a firefighter and former Navy SEAL, rescuing civilians is part of the job, but when I helped a soaking wet slip of a woman in short shorts and cowboy boots with her broken down Jeep, I didn’t think I was getting a sneak peek at my new nanny. I’m a single dad who thrives on keeping a structured routine for my kids. Yet Andi Halton blows all of that out of the water, armed with a sticker-covered guitar and wild ideas about relaxing that schedule. What’s worse is I can’t stop thinking about how good she looks doing yoga in my living room. Or how plump her lips are and how they might feel pressed against mine. Keeping my hands off of her is harder than surviving Hell Week—because every moment spent with her ignites a yearning I didn’t think I could feel again. Under One Roof is the first book in a steamy new family saga roman...

Until Shane, a firefighter and single dad, threatens to unravel the carefully constructed walls I’ve built to survive.

He says he wants to get some ink done, but I know he wants something more … something I can’t give him—me. Shane As a firefighter medic, I’m used to fixing physical wounds, but Kinsley’s scars run deeper. To some, her brokenness might be perceived as a weakness, but I can see the strength buried deep.

Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Gay Romance Reviews. Kara Flynn is a new-to-me author, and my introduction to her writing is Behind the Limelight , a contemporary M/M romance featuring two actors who used to be friends but haven't been able to be in the same space without everyone knowing they can't stand each other. So, when Ashton Archer's career flatlines, the film he was hoping to star in becomes his chance to get it back on track. But there's one hitch--Ryker Cohen has signed on as his co-star. As much as Ashton wants to walk away from the project, he knows he can't, not if he wants to prove he's serious about his craft. He's just going to have to try his best to tolerate Ryker, but that's easier said than done, especially when spending so much time together has Ashton seeing his co-star in a whole new--and quite unexpected--light.  Enemies-to-lovers is one of my go-to romance tropes, and when the main character...
