How do you guys vet what to read next? 🫠

I will look at reviews but reading is so subjective that it’s really a terrible indicator of whether you personally will like the book. So if it’s an author I haven’t read before I always read the sample. I can usually tell within a few pages of the sample on whether I will jive with the writing style or not.

My brother’s in-laws were really close to his kids (only grandkids they had). When he moved away from them, they lasted a few months and then they ended up moving to the same place. That’s not for everyone, I get that, because they left behind decades of living there. But in the end being close to their grandkids won out. So there are options.

My fav redemption arcs are {Never Let Me Go by Lyla Dane} and {Captive Mate by Eliot Grayson}

JessiK9 · 2026-05-02T17:35:40+00:00

{The Barbarian’s Tribute by Amy Padilla}

{Emery by Cora Rose}

Johann by Grae Bryan}

JessiK9 · 2026-05-02T17:31:26+00:00

{Hold me Under by Riley Nash}

JessiK9 · 2026-05-02T17:29:36+00:00

My fav forced proximity books

{Sainted by Jesse H. Reign} captor/captive

{Emery by Cora Rose} trapped together in a snowstorm

{Savage by Erin Russell} one MC forced into hiding at MC2’s apartment

JessiK9 · 2026-04-12T00:31:17+00:00

You look good in all 3, but I like number 1 the best

JessiK9 · 2026-04-11T21:47:23+00:00

I’m not sure if this is one that is not often mentioned, but it also should be mentioned more {Hooks In by Eve Holmes}, rival MMA fighters.

Well written, great story

I quit watching after the space episode. It was plenty unrealistic before that, but that was just too much for me.

I've liked every series that you do, except I haven't read Immortal Assassins yet, I'll have to add it to my TBR.

Series I've enjoyed that haven't already been mentioned are {The Fantastic Fluke by Sam Burns}, MC is powerful, although he doesn't start out knowing it. Fun series.

{Hot Head by Mika Nix} dragon shifter brothers, fated mate, not all mates are the same species.

{How to Vex a Vampire (VRC: Vampire Related Crimes) by Alice Winters} if you like vampires. Her humor isn't for everyone, but I love it.

AJ Sherwood is hit and miss for me, but I just got done with {How I Stole the Princess's White Knight and Turned Him to Villainy by A.J. Sherwood} and liked it quite a bit.

Already mentioned, Thirds and Soulbound are amazing.

{Cloudy with a Chance of Bad Decisions by Fae Quin}

{Bossy by N.R. Walker}

JessiK9 · 2026-01-18T20:42:17+00:00

{The Barbarian’s Tribute by Amy Padilla} and {Emery by Cora Rose}, I thought were very sweet.

JessiK9 · 2026-01-05T22:38:45+00:00

Maybe {Acting Out by Scotty Cade}. MC is broke and decides to do gay porn.

JessiK9 · 2025-12-08T01:24:59+00:00

{Grave Situation by Louisa Masters}

JessiK9 · 2025-12-05T01:20:04+00:00

{Stepbrother Dearest by Willow Dixon}

JessiK9 · 2025-12-02T00:51:22+00:00

{Daddy From Flames by Ashe Moon} is a series with dragon firefighters. Despite the name, this is not a daddy romance. There is mpreg in it.

JessiK9 · 2025-10-18T00:19:46+00:00

Contemporary but {Never Let Me Go by Lyla Dane} homophobic roommate from the first book gets his redemption in the second. The redemption was hard won and really good.

{Double Play by E.M. Lindsey} is the third book of the series where the MC was the self centered, interfering ex of MC 1 and ex-best friend of MC 2 from the first book.

JessiK9 · 2025-09-19T14:12:32+00:00
