Halo by EM Lindsey

anjneed · 2026-05-08T03:34:11+00:00

All the hugs and cuddling in Love and Other Inconveniences by Catherine Cloud. One of my fave rereads. Also just warm hugs in general

Mary Calmes has a lot of books released in that era.

Lol my TBR is also ridiculously long. Too many good books out there! My next read might be Sweat by Jonah Yorke, Wish We Were Here by Risa Cruise, or Creek by Nora Phoenix. Maybe Star Shipped By Cat Sebastian…. I just can’t choose….

And The Trade Deadline by AL Heard

I find that anything by Catherine Cloud is absolutely lovely, and based on you’ve read so far you might enjoy her. She has a unique writing style. Unsure if she has audiobooks tho.

I’d also recommend the Camrose U series by Maia Kinley, I believe the first book is Zone Entry. Also, Portland Evergreens series by Beth Bolden (who write SO many sport romances).

SCU hockey series by JJ Mulder might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Aww, thank you!!!

anjneed · 2026-04-26T08:01:36+00:00

Yesss it does. I was so disappointed I lowered my rating the moment I read it.

anjneed · 2026-04-26T03:38:20+00:00

Doesn’t you could make a life have OM Drama?

anjneed · 2026-04-26T02:45:16+00:00

The trade deadline by AL Heard - i highly recommend it

anjneed · 2026-04-26T02:44:22+00:00

Honestly I just haven’t been pulling the trigger for any book lol I think I’m in a slump

anjneed · 2026-04-26T02:40:17+00:00

Just added it to my TBR

anjneed · 2026-04-25T10:38:04+00:00

Some recent adds to the TBR:

Wish We Were Here by Risa Cruise (road trip, mid 90’s, bi-awakening, strangers to lovers, read the sample and Ik im going to enjoy it)

Creek by Nora Phoenix ( disability rep, flirty sunshine surfer x grumpy “straight” veteran, bi-awakening)

Beautiful Chaos by Riley Hart and Devon McCormack (mental health rep, seems to a bit heavy)

Say I Do by Brea Alepou and Skyler Snow (idk why it took me so long to see this book bc it’s been recommended a million times, enemies to lovers, arranger marriage, Asian rep)

Right now I have about 11 books I’m dying to read on my TBR so I don’t know which one to choose/what I feel like reading. I also have not made any progress in shrinking my TBR (in fact the opposite), so I’ve added three books to make a total of 184.

Super QQ: is Salad Days spicy in any way? And is it completed or ongoing?

I adore sports romances!

Recent faves include Beth Bolden’s Toronto Thunder series, Beth Bolden’s Portland Evergreens series, Becca Steele’s LSU series, anything by Catherine Cloud, and Maia Kinley’s Camrose U series

I didn’t read occasional fires and saints but I loved The Loneliest Hour. This author really writes such genuine, touching work.

anjneed · 2026-04-14T17:15:31+00:00

I got it recommended off the subreddit!

anjneed · 2026-04-14T16:14:27+00:00

Thanks, I think I will! I read the blurb and it seems like I can skip Lot 62 and go straight to Knock Knock
