On Thin Ice by Hayden Hall is the 6th book in the Arctic Titans of Northwood U series and the story of stepbrothers, Jordan and Asher. They are thrown together as "family" but there's no love list between them. Then one summer at their lake cabin, the boys are there alone & tensions boil over, and truths are revealed in delightful ways! 
It's an awesome story! Hot & steamy. Sweet & romantic. Witty with a dash of angst. I highly recommend all of the Arctic Titans books and can't wait for the next one!

Chad's Story, from the Letters Series by Michael Robert is a beautiful insight into Chad; who was my favorite character in Books 1 & 2. 
I've experienced some inexplicable coincidences and I love reading about this 22 year old guy that seems to be a conduit to the spirit world. 
Chad & Cole each go through quite the whirlwind with their love lives. Infidelity, abandonment, death sprinkle their influence onto their happiness causing mistrust and miscommunication that they work hard to overcome. 
At the same time, they have lovely, joyful, & steamy experiences, too!
The entire series is a must read!

Summer of You by Joelle Lynne is the perfect summer romance! One time lovers, Nathan and Chase, meet again after four years to a painful and crumbled relationship. There is hurt and distance and disillusionment and more creating a chasm between them. However there's still a spark; something old and forgotten and beautiful. Over the summer we watch as the spark is nurtured and the past forgiven... eventually. It's a beautiful story I won't soon forget. Steamy and sweet. The side characters are some people I'd like to get to know better! I'm glad to know it's the first in a series!

I adore Where the River Meets the Skye by Felicity Snow. This is a beautiful book about sustainable love through hard times. It struck a major chord with me because River's story is eerily similar to mine. Chronic illness/pain is serious and nearly unfathomable to those who haven't experienced it either themselves or through a close relationship. I was so impressed with Felicity's portrayal and the excellent way she delivered this story. Incredible book. I highly recommend.

When the Lights Come Up by Vance Anthony is a vibrant story about coming of age and growing older; falling in love and falling apart; learning your place in various times of life and finding your home. I really loved this book. It's a truly amazing debut novel. 
I did get a little lost in the wordiness of it. I feel like the story could've been told just as well trimmed down. The back & forth in time made it feel a bit crazy and there was a point around 35% or so that I almost DNF but I'm so happy I hung on until the end because it is a beautiful book.

After: Close to Home by Abigail Hunter is a delightful continuation of Thorn & Luca's story (from Afterglow). We get a little peek into their lives 4 months later. It's a sweet & steamy novella! They are so cute; still learning about each other; both scared to show their true selves, but too in love not to. Great book! Can't wait for the next one!

Collared by Lola Malone is a fast paced novella in the world of Saint-Laurent. It's the scene of the Wicked Chase on the grounds of Monterrey Castle. Thurel has no clue what is happening throughout most of the story because he failed to read the fine print! That doesn't stop Maël from hunting him down!
The book is steamy, salacious, and wicked since it's all about either chasing down the person you want or being the wanted one. At first it's all anticipation and spice but eventually there is a sweetness & romantic quality. I loved it & can't wait for the rest of the Wicked Chase novellas!
