Bourbon & Lies follows Laney, who ends up in Fiasco, Kentucky, after witnessing something no one should have to witness. There is one rule in Fiasco: never fall for a Foxx brother.

Grant & his two brothers own the distillery, and only Ace, the eldest brother, knows why Laney is there. Grant, being an ex-cop, knows when someone is lying or withholding the full truth, and he is determined to find out who Laney is and why she is there. The only thing is the pull Grant feels towards her, Laney is quick-witted, feisty and has him losing his mind. He doesn’t want to get close to her, but Grant & Laney end up gravitating towards one another, and when Laney’s past shows up, a Foxx brother is at risk of the “curse” striking again; the only thing that can save them both is bourbon & lies.

Love, Friendship, and the Supernatural: Why Laurel’s Story is a Must-Read This February

Posted on 7th Feb 20265th Feb 2026 by Letty Reads

Laurel by Addison James

18+ Contains Adult Content

Laurel is a sapphic supernatural romance following Laurel, who is 900 years old. Laurel was tortured by a witch and was inadvertently made immortal. She tries not to get too close to anyone as she knows she will have to leave and start fresh in a new town, or else face questions about why she isn’t ageing. Laurel, against her will, becomes close to Callie; she tries not too but there is something so endearing about Callie that she can’t help herself. However, when she goes to Callie’s house for dinner and meets her husband, Blake Laurel is prepared to run as she has made it a rule to stay away from all supernatural beings, and she knows with one look in Blake’s eyes that he is a vampire. Laurel can’t run until she knows Callie is safe, but then she meets Blake’s twin sister, Blaire, and Laurel doesn’t want to run anymore. Maybe the supernatural world isn’t so bad after all…until the witch that tortured Laurel turns up. Now, Laurel needs to decide whether she runs far, far away or stays and fights for the love and friendship she has found.

It’s his eyes, though, that stop me in my tracks. They’re too bright. A brown that deep should never be that bright; I bet his eyes practically glow in the dark. They shine in a way that simply cannot be natural.

The Gingerbread Bakery by Laurie Gilmore

The Gingerbread Bakery is book 5 in the Dream Harbor series; however, each book can be read as a standalone. This one follows Annie, the owner of the Gingerbread Bakery, and Mac, the owner of the pub. Annie is just as sweet as the cookies she bakes. She likes everyone well, everyone except Mac. Mac wants the only thing he can’t have…Annie. There is bad blood between the two of them, and whenever they are around each other, all they do is bicker, but when two of their friends are getting married, they have to put aside the bickering and get along.

She’d never been friends with Mac. They’d never made sense together. It was exactly what she’d told him eleven years ago. But Mac had never been good at listening.

Smutty Historical Romance: Grace and the Blacksmith

A Wife for the Blacksmith by Viola Grey

18+ Contains Adult Content

Grace is living in misery, married to John, who treats her with zero respect, who hurts her and goes out gambling away all their money. One day, John gets himself into deep trouble, deep enough that he needs to flee the village. He grabs Grace, telling her to pack, but Grace has an idea. She tells John to sell her, auction her off in the town square. Which is exactly what John does, not knowing that the village blacksmith Gerald has been harbouring a longing for Grace for quite some time. Gerald is silent, grouchy and gruff, but when he sees Grace being auctioned, he steps up and pays a substantial amount of money for her to be his. Now Gerald can show Grace how she is meant to be treated; he can shower her with love and hope she will love him back.

Wife selling was an archaic practice, she knew, more suited to those wanting a cheap divorce or a convenient end to a disastrous match.

Revive Me: An MMA Fighter’s Journey to Love and Healing

Posted on 17th May 202518th Nov 2025 by Letty Reads

Revive Me by Nikki Castle

I applied for the ARC for this book through Chasing Books PR. Even though this is an ARC my review is 100% my true opinion.

Revive Me follows Roman, an MMA fighter who is about to have the biggest fight of his career, and Liliana, who is a Physical Therapist. Roman ends up with a spinal cord injury during his title match, leaving him unable to walk or fight. Fighting has been all Roman has known since he was a teenager, and he can’t fathom a life without it; he doesn’t know who he is without MMA. Roman has been to many PTs, but 2 years after his injury, he ends up at Liliana’s workplace, and it is up to her to get through to Roman and get him back on his feet. However, this wouldn’t be a romance book without the romance, would it, and Roman and Liliana fall for each other, but it’s complicated due to Roman being her patient.
