Image shows the model cover of Gym Bros by August Jones in the middle of the graphic, and it is surrounded by photos that represent the vibe of the book. There are pictures of an MMA fighter; a shirtless blonde man holding flowers and posing for the camera; two men doing yoga; two men fighting in a ring; a German Shepherd mixed-breed dog sitting on a ground full of leaves; and a man wearing a see-through, open-collared shirt exposing his torso. The tropes are listed for the book, including: strangers to lovers, opposites attract, forbidden, MMA fighter, yoga teacher/model, beauty meets a beast, feminization, jealousy/possessiveness, size difference, and low angst.

Calyx and Sam seem in such sad places in life when the book starts. Their first interactions are full of miscommunication because of their pasts, but it makes their HEA delicious. Review up on SG/GR.

Thanks! 🥰

Am I reading one of the several ARCs I need to finish tonight? Nope. No. Noooo, I am not.

Am I reading the new Tal Bauer book tonight while clutching a box of Kleenex in preparation of having my heart broken? Yep. Yup. Yesssss, I am. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Model cover of Hollis by Ashley James. Quote in red print: "I don't feel ready, but at the same time, I do. But that's how it's always been with Ford, right? Nothing ever makes sense, while somehow also feeling completely right every single time. It's a paradox. We're a paradox." Quote in blue print: "Hollis knows exactly what he's doing. He knows the second he calls me Daddy, I'm doing whatever the hell he wants. It's like I have no control around him, and I hate it just as much as I love it."

So good it had me gasping! I even had to pause a few times to just catch my breath. Obviously, the writing is also fantastic, with James' signature blend of humor, sexiness, and emotion. 100% recommend!

Image of a partially nude/nude man in bed with excerpt from Gym Bros by August Jones. Quoted material says: I don't think he saw me that first day at the gym and thought "Yes. Him. That's the guy for me." I think I broke him down and won him over and maybe even put him into a kind of love arm bar where he had to submit, because I wasn't going to stop until he was all mine."
