RELEASE DAY REVIEW: Well, Actually by Mazey Eddings

Title: Well, Actually
Author: Mazey Eddings
Publisher: St. Martin’s Griffin
Publication Date: August 5, 2025 


Synopsis: 

An utterly delightful and sexy second-chance romance between a black cat and golden retriever with Mazey Edding's signature sparkling voice!

Eva Kitt never expected to be the host of Sausage Talk, interviewing B-list celebrities over lukewarm hot dogs, instead of pursuing the journalism career she dreamed of. But when Eva’s impromptu public call out of her college ex goes viral, she’s thrust into the spotlight. It doesn’t help said ex is Rylie Cooper, a beloved social media personality that has built a platform on deconstructing toxic masculinity and teaching men how to be good partners.

Forced to confront Rylie on a live episode of Sausage Talk, he offers Eva a deal: allow him to take her on a series of dates to make up for his toxic behavior, then debrief them on his channel to show he’s changed. Eva refuses to play nice, but agrees to the scheme to advance her own career and continue defaming Rylie’s good name. When these manufactured dates start to feel real, Eva has to wonder if the boy that broke her heart has become the man that might heal it.

Sonja’s Review: 


I found Mazey Eddings before her debut novel, A Brush with Love, had come out as there was a lot of buzz for it and it interested me, so I added it to my TBR. I haven’t read it yet, but it still put Ms. Eddings on my radar and when Well, Actually came to my attention basically due to pop culture at the time and I had the opportunity to snatch an early publisher’s copy of it, I took it! I did kind of forget about it until I saw that it was releasing soon and I won’t lie, when I realized what it was about and I thought of the pop culture event that prompted me to get it, while on the one hand I was looking forward to finally reading Ms. Eddings, on the other hand, I was not feeling necessarily enthused about the book itself. Then when we met Eva and she started whining about her job and life at like two percent, I put the book down and dramatically spent several minutes regretting everything and questioning myself and my book choices. I say I was being dramatic because when I picked up Well, Actually again, I kid you not, by literally — I checked — the next percent of this book, we got into Rylie Cooper and my attitude completely changed and I was fully on board. I recognize the utter ridiculousness of that, but it’s true and I flipping wholeheartedly, passionately loved and couldn’t get enough of Well, Actually!

Eva and Rylie captured my full attention, I was so wholly invested in them, and at times, I could not drag myself away I loved them so much! They were so dear to me and I wanted nothing but the best for them. They were brilliant together and on their own. Their banter and humor was perfection, I loved their teasing and insults and just everything. I related to Eva in that we both hate having emotions and especially expressing them although that’s because I’m a Virgo while Eva has a more legitimate reason that tore my flipping heart out. I was truly devastated for her that she didn’t know how lovable and worthwhile she was and I’m so grateful that she and Rylie found their way back to each other. I also felt a lot of gratitude towards Rylie because he was so patient, kind, and compassionate to Eva and just everything she needed. I don’t want to make it seem like Eva was doing all the taking and none of the giving in their relationship as that’s not the case. Yes, she needed more reassurance than Rylie did, but it’s clear how devoted she was to him and would do anything for him even if the cost to herself was great. I don’t think that would be an issue in the fictional future of their fictional world though, and yes, I do think they’re a couple that would be together forever in the world that Mazey Eddings created.

After reading the Content Warnings page for Well, Actually, I was expecting an overall fun time, but knew there would also likely be difficult parts as well. Since I’ve never read Mazey Eddings before, I had no idea what to expect, but not very long after starting it, I did not expect to laugh so hard, I was wheezing and had my eyes watering and then I definitely did not think my eyes would be full of tears soon after that hilarious moment. Seriously, Ms. Eddings made me laugh my butt off and then she punched me in the gut, it was very rude! I’m not mad about it, but I was not prepared — I will be in the future though, because I am absolutely going to pick her up again! Well, Actually was fantastically wonderful, all my emotions were involved in this book, it made me laugh, made me cry several times, and it just made me so happy and grin so big it hurt a little. I’m beyond glad I read this, it’s one of my best of the year, and I know when I reflect on the books I read at the end of the year, Well, Actually will be one of the first ones I think about — I just loved and adored it so much!

RELEASE DAY REVIEW: Biggest Player by Sara Ney

Title: Biggest Player 

Author: Sara Ney 

Series: Not Yours, #2

Publisher: Montlake

Publication Date: July 29th, 2025


Synopsis:

Bestselling author Sara Ney scores with a fiery romance about online dating, where a single mom and a football pro ignite sparks when they swipe right—even though they know it’s all wrong.

Margot’s a busy single mom juggling teaching, parenting, and trying not to die alone. Dating apps? Total nightmare. But desperate times call for desperate swipes, even if they make her break out in stress hives. When she matches with a guy who looks too good to be true, she’s convinced he’s a walking red flag—or worse—a catfish.

Dex is hot, and he knows it. A quarterback with a killer smile and looks to spare, he’s a good guy looking for a long-term relationship. He wants what his friends have: someone to come home to…and if they’re naked when he gets there, even better. When he logs on for a casual scroll, he’s not expecting to meet her. One swipe, and suddenly he’s hooked.

Margot’s convinced he’s a catfish. Dex has zero dad bod and no dad energy. But their sizzling back-and-forth leaves them both thinking “what if.” After a surprise run-in leads to a mind-blowing (and soggy AF) kiss, their opposites-attract energy skyrockets. Can they find a way to make it last?

Sonja’s Review:


As I was finishing up Not Your Biggest Fan, I knew the epilogue was going to be in Dex’s POV and after loving Andy and Harlow so much, I wasn’t that excited to get his perspective and wanted it to be one of theirs instead. However, when I actually read the epilogue, it made me really look forward to picking up his book! I mean, I was going to regardless since I had an advanced copy of it, but sometimes I have problems reading books in a series back to back and while I wasn’t really worried that would be the case this time, Dex’s chapter definitely put that thought to rest and made it easier for me to start reading Biggest Player as soon as I had the chance.

There was a period of time in the beginning of me reading this book where I thought that I would love it even more than Not Your Biggest Fan, but then the main conflict of this book came into play and I was just not particularly thrilled with it or Dex. I will say, I feel like it was more annoying than super frustrating and that Margot was kept in the dark for a decent amount of time, but not so long it seemed like it dragged on forever and ever. While there was a portion of Biggest Player I didn’t care for, I enjoyed more of this book than I didn’t and though I didn’t have warm feelings for Dex for some time there, I got why he messed up, I don’t like it, he wasn’t being very smart, but he does have a good heart and he genuinely loves Margot and her daughter, Wyatt, and I was satisfied with how Margot and Dex handled the problem and then their reconciliation.

There was a big piece of me that did like/love Dex and I one hundred percent loved Margot! Dex is clueless and made me shake my head at best and want to shake him at worst, but he was a fun hero and ultimately I think that he’s good for Margot. Now, Margot is way better for him because she’s so awesome! She’s smart, strong, she lets him have it when it needs to happen, and she’s also just fun too. I loved these two, more so Margot and I loved Wyatt too — she’s great and smart and I loved the interactions between her and all the adults!

One of the things I loved about Not Your Biggest Fan was the banter between Andy and Harlow and that was true of Biggest Player as well. Everything flowed so well and naturally between Dex and Margot, Sara Ney is seriously excellent at writing banter! Biggest Player and I may have been at odds for a while there, but it mostly entertained and amused me and I had a good time with it. If Ms. Ney writes stories for the other two football players that we met in this book, I will for sure check them out since I liked them and I know the back and forth between them and their love interest will be fire!

Book One

Not Your Biggest Fan


Synopsis:

USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney sizzles with a quick-witted, sexy romp about an eager entrepreneur and a cocky football star who couldn’t be more different—or more into each other.

Harlow James is destined to rock the dating world. The creator of Kissmet, the app helping singles find love, she’s in New York to secure advertisers. But the sassy, small-town girl can’t help meddling in other people’s business.

When she runs into a muscular stranger at her go-to food truck, Harlow doesn’t realize he’s Landon “Andy” Burke, the NFL’s most-wanted free agent, in town to talk contracts. She just sees a hottie about to get burned by undercooked street food. Though she tries to warn him, he shrugs her off, making a little wager instead.

In a messy twist of fate, Andy finds himself in the same hotel as Harlow. When she collects on their bet, they make a mind-blowing—and bed-rocking—connection. But after the weekend, she goes home to Green Bay to her goofy dad and corgi, ready to focus everything on work again. Kissmet, however, has other ideas, when Andy knocks on her door…







Sonja’s Review:


It’s almost been five years since I’ve read Sara Ney and it was so nice picking up something from her again! I do want to say that there wasn’t one specific reason for the drought or anything like that, it was just me being me basically. Anyway, Not Your Biggest Fan wasn’t on my radar, but I’ve recently decided to get back into my blog and reading the early copies I’ve gotten from publishers and when I saw that the next book in this series, Biggest Player, was releasing soon, I thought that I should read that. I was pretty sure that it wasn’t the first book though, so I went looking and found Not Your Biggest Fan. I did actually also have a copy of that, but I borrowed it from KU, so Ms. Ney could get her coin.

As I was determined to read this and Biggest Player, I didn’t bother reading the synopsis because sometimes even when I really want to read a book, checking out the blurb can occasionally have the opposite effect on me and make me not want to read the book in that particular moment. I was taking no such chances with Not Your Biggest Fan and as a result, I will say that when I started this book, where I saw it going, it didn’t actually go and I was so happy about that! I was sure the plot was going to lead to Andy’s personal team having him use Harlow’s app and they would fake date to help with image problems and that was so not the case. I’m not the biggest fan (hehe pun intended) of the fake dating trope, so I was really relieved when the focus was mainly on Andy and Harlow’s budding relationship.

I had fun with Not Your Biggest Fan! There were some moments that made me cringe and go “oooof” semi hard, but for the most part I just had a good time. It’s very low stakes, not much drama or at least the drama’s amusing or over fairly quickly, Andy and Harlow actually have good communication, despite him not telling her who he is right away. It’s a little ridiculous with silly characters, but that wasn’t a bad thing and I really enjoyed it. I think it’d be a good book to pick up if you need a fun, light read. It was awesome and I’m looking forward to reading Biggest Player next!

RELEASE DAY REVIEW: Ruthless Devotion by Rebecca Kenney

Title: Ruthless Devotion 
Author: Rebecca Kenney 
Series: Gilded Monsters, #3
Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca
Publication Date: July 22, 2025


Synopsis: 

He was the other half of my soul—the mirror to my every dark desire. My destruction, my redemption, my salvation: my Heathcliff.

Cathy Earnshaw's got the devil inside her—or at least that's what the small, cultish community she's spent her whole life trapped inside would say. She can sense death coming, and every loss sends her spiraling into a violent, uncontrollable episode of grief, wailing like a banshee across the swampy forests of the Lowcountry. With a secret as dark as hers, there's no hope of relief, or escape, or finding someone with a chance of understanding.

Until she meets him.

Heathcliff's got his own trauma, and a secret just as dangerous as Cathy's. Stolen as a child, raised by necromancers, he's the most forbidden sin she could ever imagine…and the most desperately tempting. Violent in his passions, tender in his affection, he feels like the other half of her soul, but even as they claw desperately to be together, the world seems just as determined to keep them apart.

Because it turns out their little Southern community was built long ago on a graveyard of lies…and every cult needs its sacrificial lamb.

An addictive and truly original spicy New Adult retelling of Wuthering Heights with a magical twist.

Sonja’s Review: 


I don’t remember how I found Rebecca Kenney’s Charming Devil, but I did and I’ve wanted to read it ever since. I haven’t yet because I’m a procrastinator and it’s never available on Libby when I check and I’m weird about holds in that I worry I won’t want to read the book when it’s my turn, so I’ll either pass on it to make sure I’m giving the book as fair a chance as I can or I do check it out and run the risk of making somebody wait longer than they have to if I don’t read it right away or at all. I know it’s silly, but I try to be mindful about my library holds. Anyway, I had the chance to get an early copy of Ruthless Devotion from the publisher and I thought it would be a good opportunity to read Rebecca Kenney even though it wasn’t the book that me aware of her and while I’m not super attached to Wuthering Heights and co, I have read it and since I’m attracted to heroes like Heathcliff, I thought why not? And I am so glad that I did because I flipping loved Ruthless Devotion!

I felt locked into this book the moment I started reading and it was so easy to connect to Heathcliff and Cathy. I loved them and was rooting for them to get their freedom and happy ending so hard! I won’t lie, there were times when they really frustrated me and made me nervous, but they also warmed my heart and put big grins on my face too.  

Honestly, the way Heathcliff and Cathy’s relationship made me feel was just reflective of the book as a whole which as I say that, it seems kind of like a “Duh!” statement, but there’s a lot of plot to this book in addition to their romance. Ruthless Devotion took me on an utterly wild ride where it made my heart pound and race, it had my clutching my kindle and on the metaphorical edge of my seat, flipping the pages as fast as I could, unable to tear myself away because I NEEDED to know what was going to happen next! I was completely invested in Heathcliff and Cathy, their story was beautiful and amazing, and Ruthless Devotion is definitely one of the best books I’ve read this year. I am just so intrigued with this fascinating supernatural world that Rebecca Kenney has created — it was very exciting and I can’t wait to see even more of it not only with the previous two books in the series, but any that come out the future!

Sonja’s Review: 


Well, it was a long, difficult road to get to the end of this book and while technically my journey with The Arcana Chronicles started at the beginning with the release Poison Princess a little over a decade ago, those years didn’t feel near as long as reading the series over this past two week span with me finishing almost all of the books during the second week. I went on an emotional rollercoaster with these characters and not knowing how it was all going to work out and constantly coming up with scenarios that just broke my heart… well, it was a tough mindset to be in for like five to six days straight. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel when I read the final page of this series, but I’ll admit that I thought I would feel just okay and not amazing like I usually do with one of Ms. Cole’s books. I was mostly confident that I wouldn’t regret reading The Arcana Chronicles not only for the reason that Ms. Cole wrote it and as she’s one of my favorite authors, I don’t think I could regret reading anything she wrote, but also because I’ve always loved and thought the premise of The Arcana Chronicles was so unique and interesting that even when these books were ripping out my heart and making me cry, I still couldn’t help but be fascinated by the story and the characters. Sure enough, after finishing From the Grave, I think I could do a re-read some day because this book was absolutely worth all the pain and doubts and the mind racing thoughts it made me obsess over. It’s truly Ms. Cole’s best book and though it made me ugly cry at times, the ending was one hundred percent perfect and made all the struggling worthwhile. It might have made me cry some good tears and sad ones, but it also had me burst out laughing and filled me up with joy and warmth at the end. From the Grave was outstanding and I think you’ll be satisfied with the series when all is said and done — so give it a chance because you should, it’s amazing and I love it so so good, good, good — goodbye!

Author: Suzanne Wright 
Series: Devil’s Cradle, #1
Publisher: Piatkus 
Publication Date: January 12, 2023


Synopsis:

No one really knows what they are. Only that they're the first civilization. Aeons, they call themselves. They're immortal. Powerful. Secretive. 

And they'll come for her. 

Witch Wynter Dellavale knows that for certain. Because in unfairly trying to execute her, they started a chain of events they're struggling to stop. 

Needing safety, she flees to Devil's Cradle, the home of monsters. A place for the outcasts, the fugitives, the crazies. A place inq ruled by the Ancients, seven beings who were once banished by the Aeons.  

Among the Ancients is the infamous Cain, brother of Abel and embodiment of jealousy - who, on another note, wants her in his bed. 

There's a heavy price for the safety the Ancients offer, but Wynter will have to pay it. She can't take on the Aeons alone. And she has no intention of dying - been there, done that. 

Not that she'll be the easy prey the Aeons are expecting. They have no knowledge of the ... thing that lives inside her. You see, when witches are brought back from the afterlife, they don't always come back the same. 

And they don't always come back alone.

Sonja’s Review: 


Of course I was excited when Suzanne Wright announced she was writing a new series because she’s one of my favorite authors and I just love anything new she puts out whether it’s part of an existing series or if it’s something brand new. I don’t think I fully read the synopsis for The Wicked In Meat the time as I didn’t want my excitement to be at an unmanageable level, but I did take note of the Devil’s Cradle title and I had a good feeling about it too. It was in the back of my mind peacefully existing and then I read the latest book in Ms. Wright’s Deep In Your Veins series and that’s when my eagerness for The Wicked In Me grew. In it the hero and heroine visit a place called Devil’s Cradle which I remembered was in Ms. Wright’s new project and when I went to confirm, I saw that Cain would be the hero and I was beyond looking forward to it as I was very interested in seeing more of Cain!

So when 2022 hit, naturally, I couldn’t wait until May for the first book to come out and at some point early in the year, Ms. Wright gave us the wonderful news that this series had been picked up by a publisher. I was a little bummed for me, but even more so I was happy for her. While I didn’t anticipate a little longer of a wait, it was one hundred percent worth it! I loved The Wicked In Me from the jump and it’s honestly my new favorite series from Ms Wright now! 

I had such a good feeling about The Wicked in Me and it completely exceeded my expectations with how amazing it was! The world was fascinating, the characters were uber interesting, and the plot was exciting — I just could not get enough of this story! I had oodles of fun reading about Cain and Wynter and co, it was all so entertaining, there was never a dull moment and I might just have to read it again while I wait for the next two books in the series. This was definitely one of my favorite reads of the year and I absolutely cannot wait for more!

RELEASE DAY BLITZ REVIEW: Munro by Kresley Cole


Title: Munro 
Author: Kresley Cole 
Series: Immortals After Dark, #18 
Publisher: Valkyrie Press 
Publication Date: January 25, 2022 


Synopsis: 

TORMENTED IN UNIMAGINABLE WAYS

Coming off torture at the hands of his warlock captors, Munro MacRieve never expected to find his mate, or to lose her just as abruptly. Driven to desperation, the ruthless warrior uses his enemies’ own powers to reunite with her—in the distant past.

STOLEN FROM HER TIME 

When a crazed werewolf crashes her wedding, Kereny “Ren” Codrina does what any cunning huntress would do: she captures him. Yet she finds herself softening toward the wounded beast—until he turns the tables and forces her into an incomprehensible future.

CAN A HUMAN AND AN IMMORTAL UNITE IN ORDER TO SURVIVE?

As danger mounts, Munro will do anything to make her undying, even sell his soul to an evil sorceress. But first he must convince his fiery mate that she belongs with him. If seduction means her survival, Munro will use every weapon in his arsenal to possess her—forever.


Sonja’s Review: 


Man, where do I even begin? I guess I should start out by saying I can’t believe I JUST READ MUNRO BY KRESLEY COLE! OMG! IT’S SO EXCITING! WOOHOO! 

Now you might be asking yourself if it was necessary for me to shout like that and the answer is yes! I don’t normally yell in my reviews, but I’ve just missed Ms. Cole and the Immortals After Dark series so much that my joy and enthusiasm for the return of both cannot be contained! I have to say that even though it took a little longer than expected for Munro to get here, it truly felt like no time had passed while I was reading. Ms. Cole was completely in her element and she delivered familiarity, freshness, and feeling. Diving into Munro and Kereny’s story was just like stepping back into this world seamlessly and it was totally worth the wait — I wholeheartedly loved Munro! 

Munro was everything I hoped for and more. Kereny was a total capable, fierce, competent boss woman and Munro was so sweet, utterly devoted to Kereny and just so into Kereny busting his chops and giving him a hard time. They both have their flaws but I adored them both on their own and as a couple. Their chemistry is electric and undeniable and I couldn’t get enough! 

Munro was strong, thrilling, and so easy to read. I loved meeting new-ish characters and especially getting to see all the old ones I love. I felt so much happiness and excitement while reading, I was one hundred percent invested and captured, it all still feels so surreal that I just read and finished a new book in the Immortals After Dark series. Munrowas amazing and beautiful and I loved it so hard and can’t wait for even more to come!

Not that I could leave. I would never abandon my little sister. Hope comes in the form of a devilishly handsome man with dark eyes and darker secrets.

With each encounter, I'm lured deeper into the labyrinth. The danger lurking beneath his surface calls to me, even as it warns me away.

Except there's a new side of him every time we meet. A different danger each time we touch. It's as if three different men want to devour me.

He's not just one villain. He's three.

Sonja's Review


I couldn’t wait to see if Ms. Webster would write in this Midnight Dynasty world again and if she did, who she would write about. When I found out that it was going to be the triplets, I couldn’t say I was that surprised as it’s very on brand for her to give us a villain’s or this case, villains’ story which I’m usually always on board for, but I won’t lie, I felt a bit apprehensive about that because I was not a fan of the triplets previously. Like at all. Also the fact that this seemed like it was definitely going to be a reverse harem and since I don’t really gravitate towards that trope (though I suppose it’s pretty much it’s own sub-genre at this point) that added to my hesitancy. But if I trust anyone to turn me around on characters with a trope I’m not used to and make me love them and it — it’s K. Webster. So I went into Triple Threat still a little wary, but open for the most part and I completely loved it!

The triplets could be a little frustrating at times, they’re not super into accountability, but I was surprised, though I guess I shouldn’t be re: I trust K. Webster up above there, that I really ended up loving Sparrow, he’s my favorite, I liked Sully and I think I even like Scout! Scout was both what I expected and at the same time wasn’t. I’ve thought that he was the male version of Hannah from Ms. Webster’s War & Peace series and that girl was unhinged and cray cray, so I was thinking that Scout would have the same kind of energy when I was in his head, but surprisingly, he’s a lot more sane than I thought he would be. Don’t get me wrong, dude’s still bonkers, but I actually enjoyed being his POV. Enough about Scout though, he’s fine, I feel like I should say a little about Sully and Sparrow to balance it out some. Sully is the intellectual type and I agree with Sparrow that he’s a whiner, but I guess he’s allowed to be upset that his life has been derailed even though that’s all of their faults. . . anyway, he’s super sweet with Landry and I did like him. Now as for Sparrow, I absolutely looooved him, he’s for sure the best triplet! He’s fun and playful, has a good attitude and I just love the dynamic that him and Landry have. Sparrow’s wonderful and I can’t wait to see more of him in Death Wish!

I thought I would struggle a little with the reverse harem aspect, but Triple Threat didn’t actually feel like one to me or what I imagine a standard one is. I loved how it felt like Landry was with one guy because she’s only ever with one triplet at time and I wasn’t overwhelmed with too much too soon which I appreciated. I was and totally am here for Landry and all three of her guys, I’m excited to see how it all plays out in the next book when they all have to interact together!

Triple Threat had it’s difficult moments, but I so enjoyed reading every minute of it. It was hot, thrilling, fun, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I think it got my heart beating faster there at the end — it was just a rush to read. I loved this book, I’m so happy that I took a chance on it and I absolutely cannot wait to read Death Wish when it’s available!
