~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐++++++++ Review~~~~~~~~~~~

Jessamy Darling and Sherriff Black are oil and water so why can’t he stop thinking about her? She is always in trouble, but when he learns more, he may have misjudged her and do anything to protect her. Jess, don’t call me Jessamy, has always thought Sheriff Black was extremely handsome, but when the man makes a career out of arresting you for things you don’t do it tends to make you cranky. I loved this story so much that I couldn’t put it down. Wow, Leo is a piece of work, him and Marcia should have gotten together. Such a great story that kept me guessing and wanting to read the next page. I can’t wait for more!!!!

Gray Matters

Title: Gray Matters

Author: Jessica Buss

Genre/Tropes: Medical Romance; Off limits; Sunshiny dental hygienist with brain tumor vs. OCD Neurosurgeon; Instant connection; One kiss changes everything; Gold retriever vibes 

Release Date: October 19, 2026

Cover Design: 907 Publishing, LLC

Destined to be together, an extremely driven neurosurgeon and a smiley dental hygienist have their meet-cute in her ICU room after she undergoes a craniotomy. At first glance, the attraction he feels for her is unmistakable. They share a connection that’s more than just physical. Thankfully, she isn’t his patient.
After several chance run-ins, Grayson learns how incredible Kaitlyn is. She’s not like anyone else he’s ever met. From their first kiss, he knows one thing: what’s happening between them is something special. He wants more, but does she feel the same?
Kaitlyn knows Dr. Grayson Michaels is different, but to her, pursuing something with him rides the line of being taboo. He works with her doctor, but that fact doesn’t diminish her excitement when he asks her out. The chemistry between them is stifling, and stretches beyond anything cellular. She wants to explore it, but will he?

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review~~~~~~~~~~

Wow I absolutely love how Jessica Buss writes and the stories that she weaves around her readers. This is not my first book that I've read by her, but I love her books. She tells a story, but she doesn't just jump into the story, she slowly pulls her reader in tells the story of both sides of the characters and the challenges that they face. This isn't uh just they meet they jump into bed and they live happily ever after type of story. This is a story of two people who share an undeniable connection that they don't feel is right, but they can't deny how they keep running into each other that maybe fate has a hand in what is going on. I love even though there is so much chemistry between the two of them that they learn more about each other and what makes the other person tick. This is such a special story, and I loved every word of it that I took my time reading because I want to savor this story. In today's world we don't always come across such a special book with a special story in it like this one. I fell in love with Grayson from the beginning and Kaitlyn is very special and she is someone that in real life I would love to have as a best friend. So, what I suggest the reader to do is to pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, sit in your favorite comfy chair and open this book and enjoy the ride that Jessica takes you on because I know I did.

Review: Violent Little Thing

Violent Little Thing by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Spunky N Sassy Rating: 5.0

~~~~~~~~~~Tracy's ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ +++++++ Review~~~~~~~~~~

I absolutely loved Court and Charleigh they are so much opposites attract and I loved every little interaction of her spitting fire at him all the while she just wanted him. I have to say that this series is so different from any series that Lani Lynn Vale has written and I'm loving every word. The male characters aren't ones that I would normally root for, and they are a little bit of jerks shall we say but their hearts are so big in giving and there's a reason why they are jerks. Something in their past has made them the way that they are and it takes a strong woman to bring that soft side out in them that the world doesn't see. And I am loving, loving, loving this series. This book blew me away and I cannot wait to read the next one thank you so much Lani for continuing to write these amazing stories that just touched me in a different way every single time I always find a way to connect with the characters irregardless of what the story is about.

Cursed

Title: Cursed 

Series: Joey Santana

Volume: Book One

Author: Karina Espinosa

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Hosted by Lady Amber’s Reviews & PR

Blurb:
The headlines read: Human Bitten by Werewolf.

Story of my life.

The name's Joey Santana and my twenty-fifth birthday didn’t necessarily go as planned. In a world where supernaturals and humans live together, I was attacked, then saved by none other than the Alpha of the Los Angeles Pack. But with survival came a price. And I wasn’t sure if I was ready to pay it.

Fast forward and I’m waking up the next morning in some stranger’s house with a half-naked man coming out of a bathroom. Awkward. And it so happens to be the Alpha’s son, Reed Stone. Right off the bat, he knows I’m trouble with a capital T since there haven’t been any humans turned into supes since supernaturals were outed five years ago. But if he thinks I’m going to sit back and take whatever he’s got coming, he’s painfully mistaken. I might have been human, but I now have canines, and I bite.

We’re forced to work together to wade through the supernatural politics and threats that await me. Our personalities clash in a battle of wills for dominance as the two of us grow closer together to solve the biggest mystery of all—why the hell would my father want to kill me?

Title: Best Laid Plans

Series: Raven Souls MC #7

Author: Candice Wright

Genre: Dark MC Romance

Tropes: Forced Proximity, Second Chance

Stalker, Found Family, Secret Identity

Release Date: October 15, 2026

BLURB

I thought I’d found my happily ever after until I realized it was all a lie.

But to escape the man I’d loved, I had to kill the woman I once was.

Knowing he’d hunt me to the ends of the earth, I assumed someone else’s identity, reshaping all my good, bad, and ugly parts to fit her mold.

My history, my experiences, even my name, all belong to her.

I thought it was enough, but after years in hiding, I’m still not safe.

See, hunters don’t forget about their prey; they lie in wait, setting traps, patiently waiting for you to fall. Only this time it’s not me that falls. It’s the MC.

My secrets kept me safe, but they made the club a target, and though I didn’t pull the trigger, a brother’s blood still coats my hands.

If the club casts me out for what I’ve done, I’ll be at the mercy of the man who won’t think twice about killing everyone I care about, including the man I’m falling for.

All because he wants to love me…to death.

And if he can’t have me, no one can.

Mistress of Fear

Title: Mistress of Fear

Series: A Legacy of Vengeance and Magic

Volume: Book One

Author: Lauretta Hignett

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Publication Date: October 15th, 2026

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:

Heartbroken. Traumatized. Laser-focused on vengeance.

All I ever wanted in life was to fall in love. Which was a little ironic, all things considered.

I grew up in a secretive commune of magical warrior women. We were the hidden powerbrokers of the supernatural world; spies, assassins and undercover operatives, trading in secrets and death. We didn’t help anyone except each other, and we didn’t trust anyone at all.

Especially not men. Only my sisters mattered. Everyone else in the world was a target, a tool to be used, or totally irrelevant.

The Flowers of the Sword didn’t fall in love.

I never really fit in with my family, though. Even from a young age, I knew I wanted a different life. A soft life—one without pain, without fighting, without hiding, without deception. A life where I didn't need to use my magic as a weapon. A life where I could trust people, and use my powers to help them heal.

So I turned my back on my family, and I walked away.

And I did it; I fell in love. I thought I was going to be happy forever.

I was wrong.

My family was right all along. Men weren’t to be trusted. Love isn’t real.

Now, vengeance will be my legacy. I’m going to rip the whole world apart to find the people who did this to my sisters. The path to revenge will take me right to the doorstep of the powerful political factions that rule the biggest supernatural city in the whole continent. Witches and wizards, vampires, combat mages, shapeshifters and fae... it doesn't matter to me.

The Senate of Magical Detroit won’t know what hit it.


Mistress of Fear is book one in A Legacy of Vengeance and Magic, a gripping Urban Fantasy series with nail-biting supernatural suspense, magical political intrigue, and a sizzling enemies-to-lovers slow-burn romance.
