MASON MONROE

Age: 23

Occupation: MMA fighter

Location: Sacramento

Personal rule: Don’t let anything get in the way of the next fight

Current problem: Accidentally rejected the hot pilot

NOLAN BRADFORD

Age: 29

Occupation: Airline pilot

Location: Tampa

Personal rule: No repeats

Current problem: Finding reasons to break his own dating rule

When MMA fighter Mason Monroe accidentally rejects airline pilot Nolan Bradford on the dating app The Click, he doesn’t expect to run into him on his flight. He definitely isn’t prepared for one drink at their hotel to turn into a one-night stand.

They go their separate ways, convinced that’s the end of it, until three months later, when they’re reunited as best men on a weeklong wedding cruise.

Nolan has one rule when it comes to hookups: no repeats. But with Mason in the cabin next door and the attraction between them impossible to ignore, finding a loophole is way too tempting.

Their vacation fling quickly turns into friends with benefits, with one agreement: whatever happens on the cruise ends when they get off the ship.

Except neither of them wants it to.

With Mason building his fighting career in Sacramento and Nolan based in Tampa, more than two thousand miles and two demanding schedules should make keeping things casual easy.

Too bad walking away from each other gets harder every time they try.

This is Mason and Nolan's story, flirty, fun, and packed with heat. Their story starts when Nolan found Nolan through Click, a dating app. Through a mishap, a conversation to get to know one another falls through; they met by chance later on. We have to say, bringing up the whole rejected thing throughout the story became pretty funny. Mason, we found to be a talker, easygoing, with a wicked sense of humor, and all-around nice guy whose family annoys him yet loves them deeply and could not do without them. Nolan is more on the alpha side, is a straightforward guy, and his snark and banter are priceless; they will make you smile and laugh throughout the story. Gives off those daddy vibes even though he is not very old. You will find a found family vibe going on in this story as the characters are wonderful and act like one big happy family that is always in your business, and they loved teasing the budding romance between Nolan and Mason, especially with Mason, who was a one-and-done kind of guy. Nolan and Mason's chemistry was explosive, steamy, and pure fire. We loved the twist that brought them together once again. Their forced proximity gives them a chance to explore one another in a friends-with-benefits situation; it becomes clear early on that these two will not be able to walk away that easily. Mason looking for loopholes in his own rules had us grinning ear to ear. We loved seeing these two build something and the work and effort they put in to make a long relationship work. They had obstacles for sure, but not the kind that is an all-or-nothing kind of thing. This was a perfect bedtime read, the banter throughout this story had us constantly laughing and filled with lovable characters, and Mason's nickname for Nolan, Air Daddy, just to piss him off, was priceless every time we heard it; we laughed out loud . Great story these two authors did, and a fantastic job with this one, and we loved it.

From USA Today bestselling author Cassidy Dare comes a steamy holiday cowboy romance full of second chances, old rivalries, reckless sparks, and one rugged distraction too tempting to resist.

I spent most of high school wanting to strangle Houston Keller. Fifteen years later, I'm having a hard time keeping my hands off him. Growing up in Coldwater, Montana, Houston Keller and I had two things in common. We both loved horses, and we couldn't stand each other. I was the good girl from the successful Ironwood Ranch. He was the troublemaking cowboy from Last Chance who seemed to live for getting under my skin.

So when I travel to a Texas guest ranch for a business conference and stumble upon my old nemesis half-naked in a hot tub, I'm more than a little surprised.

And considerably more interested than I ought to be.

Turns out Houston has traded his teenage attitude for broad shoulders, a wicked smile and a successful Nashville songwriting career. A Grammy nomination, no less. Who knew all those ratty notebooks he carried around in high school would amount to something? One thing leads to another, and before I know it, we're spending a wildly unforgettable weekend in my cabin, discovering that years of mutual aggravation can make for some seriously explosive chemistry.

But what happens in Texas is supposed to stay in Texas.

Except we're both headed home to Montana, where Houston is determined to turn his family's struggling ranch into something special. And apparently, he's just as interested in seeing where things might go with me. Especially when I discover that the boy who spent four years tormenting me might have been falling for me all along.

And this time, he isn't about to let me get away.

The Cowboy Before Christmas is a steamy contemporary holiday novella filled with second-chance heat, enemies-to-lovers tension, rival ranch families, small-town Christmas charm, and one stubborn cowboy who might just be the best bad idea of the season. Check out the entire Wild Vista Ranch Christmas series!!

New Release & Review for KNOTTY OR NICE by Ari Wright

KNOTTY OR NICE

Ari Wright

Release Date: November 5, 2026

Meet Ari Wright:

Ari Wright resides in a sun-soaked corner of the United States, where she spends her days raising

littles, cooking, reading, consuming massive amounts of music, and doing entirely too much

daydreaming.

Ari began writing novels at the age of twelve. A passionate book-lover all her life, her mother once joked

that she had to start writing her own stories because she had read everyone else’s. After fifteen years

of writing, Ari finally set out to author her debut contemporary romance novel. It has been her lifelong

dream to share the worlds inhabiting her mind with others. Welcome to her dream come true!

Naughty or nice... Why choose?

Aside from her name, Noelle has never been a particularly festive person—or a very lucky one. So

getting stood up by her supposed scent-matches two days before Christmas? Didn’t really surprise her.

Noelle can’t blame anyone but herself. Based on her past, she ought to have known better than to

believe her silliest wish had finally come true. This year, she vows things will be different. No more

holiday cheer or delusional dreams…

Until her match service calls to place her with a new pack of potential mates.

At their first meeting, Elias and Carson obliterate all of Noelle’s plans for a lonely holiday. Unlike her

other supposed “matches”, they truly want her. They’re also pretty much perfect. A kind, gallant pro-

goalie and a world-famous coach with just enough dominance to make her knees weak.

There’s only one problem.

Well, two problems.

It turns out, the nice alphas aren’t her only mates. She’s also an exact match for their professional

rivals—cocky hockey superstar, Xander, and his broody-but-menacing packmate, Jett.

She expects the challengers to back off once they see who they’re up against. Instead, Noelle’s not-so-

nice pack proves they’re to do whatever it takes to win her over.

Even if it means getting snowed in with their sworn enemies.

Knotty or Nice was a pleasant read, something new and different. Noelle is looking for her mate, and she's been. Match Scent gives you the possibilities of your match. Noelle is matched with two different packs.

Noelle's character is very emotional and carries baggage that has affected her and her wolf, and it doesn't help that her first match rejected her. She is also the sweetest thing you will ever meet.

The characters were fantastic; her mates have different personalities and lend something different to the potential mating. Some are softer; others are possessive; Elias comes with a dominant side, but all want her safe, protected, and theirs.

The dynamic between these male characters leads to fighting amongst themselves; alphas of their packs, which makes things difficult, as Noelle's wolf side knows these men are hers and it's impossible to choose. We loved how they stopped focusing on themselves and started concentrating on what Noelle needed to be happy.

Many heartfelt, touching moments will make you smile; the chemistry among them was pure fire. So many hot and sexy scenes will have you fanning yourself.

Elias was our favorite character; we felt the connection and chemistry that he had with Noelle was extra special. Jett came in second with his sexy self.

You have hot alpha wolves who are hockey players, all wanting to be your mate; what is a girl to do? We enjoyed this story because we found the characters awesome and the plot interesting, and we love diving into different worlds and exploring what an omegaverse world looks like.

As much as we enjoyed the story, I am not sure this is a world for me, or maybe I had a different idea of what it would look like. We knew more than one mate would be involved, but are they not shifters too? Do they ever let the wolf out? Are they always in human form, just connected to their bonded inner wolf? We think we need to explore this omegaverse world a little more and see if we will come to love these kinds of stories. However, we always love a good plot when paranormal comes with a cast of sexy hockey players.

Blog Tour & Review for Ravage by L. Wilder

Title: Ravage

Series: Satan's Fury MC - Kansas City

Author: L. Wilder

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: October 26, 2026

Cover Design: Mayhem Cover Creations

Cover Model: Travis

Photographer: Wander Aguiar Photography

Emery:

I had a crush on him since I was sixteen.

He was tall, dark, and smoking hot.

But he was my uncle’s best friend.

He was also a Fury brother.

But that didn’t stop me from asking him a favor I had no business asking.

A favor he had no business saying yes to.

But he did.

Ravage:

I knew better.

She was my best friend's niece.

She was family. She was off-limits.

She was also beautiful, smart, and had curves that could bring a man to his knees.

She wanted me to teach her how to be good in bed.

I should have told her no.

I didn’t.

And now, it could cost me everything.

When high-stakes motorcycle club drama meets intense emotional devotion, you get L. Wilder’s Ravage. The story follows Cole, known to his club as "Ravage," who has spent years watching Emery grow into a strong, intelligent, and compassionate woman. The catch? Emery is the niece of one of his MC brothers, making her strictly off-limits. But when Emery makes an undeniable proposition, the lines between duty and desire blur. As sudden danger and hidden secrets converge on Emery’s doorstep, Ravage must protect the woman he loves, even if it means risking everything for the club. Electric Chemistry & Character Balance: Ravage strikes a satisfying balance between a protective "caveman" alpha and a genuine gentleman who properly courts Emery. The romantic tension between them radiates off the page. Heartwarming Side Characters: Emery's work healing others showcases her golden heart, but her special bond with Poppy and Ravage’s adorable daughter adds a lovely layer of tenderness to a gritty story. The plot never slows down. Between MC brotherhood dynamics, unexpected alliances between former enemies, and constant suspense, the action keeps the pages turning effortlessly. Ravage is a thrilling, passionate read that delivers on both heat and heart. L. Wilder masterfully balances the grit of motorcycle club life with a deeply emotional love story. I recommend it to fans of romantic suspense looking for a captivating weekend read.

“I shouldn’t have asked you to have sex with me. I wasn’t thinking clearly.”

“Does that mean you’ve changed your mind?”

“It means I’ll figure it out.”

“And how are you gonna do that?” His eyes narrowed. “Hook up with some asshole?”

“I don’t know. I’ll watch porn… read a book, or I’ll just Google it.”

“Porn?” he pressed, biting back his smile.

“It can be educational.”

“Clearly, you haven’t watched it.”

“I’ve taken a peek here and there.”

“Um-hmmm… You’re impossible.”

“And you’re making a bigger deal out of this than it needs to be.”

“I can teach you without actually fucking you, Emery.”

My eyes snapped to his, and he didn’t look away. The air between us changed. It was thicker, hotter, and it made my chest grow tight. I had no idea how to respond, so I didn’t say a word. I just stood there, staring at him like a deer in headlights.

His eyes remained locked on mine as he stepped forward, forcing me to step back. He took another, and my back met the wall, leaving me nowhere else to go. His voice was low and rough as he told me, “Anticipation is where it all starts.”

He lifted his hand and placed it on the wall next to my head, bracing himself as he leaned forward. He didn’t go for my mouth. Instead, he dipped lower and hovered his mouth along the curve of my neck. I could feel the warmth of his breath on my skin, and it sent a shiver down my spine.

I closed my eyes and curled my fingers into my palms because I had no idea what else to do with them. His mouth was inches from my ear when he whispered, “Breathe, Em.”

I inhaled, long and deep, and I tensed when he moved to the other side of my neck, letting the heat of his breath hover over my skin. His lips were so close, but they never once made contact. My knees trembled, and I had to lean into the wall to keep myself from dropping into a puddle on the floor.

“Anticipation is the best part,” he whispered. “The wanting… the waiting.”

He kept moving, slow and deliberate, and my heart felt like it was going to pound right out of my chest. He knew what he was doing to me, and he was enjoying it. I was too. Every nerve in my body was vibrating, and he hadn’t even touched me.

“I can show you everything… make you want things you never knew you could want.”

“Ravage…”

“Look at me, Em.”

I opened my eyes, and his handsome face was inches from mine. His eyes were dark and fixed on mine like I was the only thing in the room. They dropped to my mouth, and mine dropped to his. I let out a slight gasp, and my lips parted. He tilted his head and hovered there, so close his breath mingled with mine. I could almost taste him, and as much as I wanted to lean forward and slam my mouth to his, I didn’t.

Neither of us did. He kept the distance, leaving me aching and breathless, and just when I didn’t think I could stand it a second longer, he smiled. “That is lesson number one.”

He took a step back, and I felt the loss of heat in every fiber of my being. Asshole.

His voice turned stern when he added, “I need you to understand something.”

“Okay?”

“This is about the facts. Nothing more.” He crossed his arms. “No feelings. Nothing changes.”

“Okay.”

“I mean it, Emery.” His eyes stayed on mine. “You and I can never be anything more than we are right now.”
