CWW: The Price of Vengeance

I have the ARC for this one and I am SO hyped! I have ADORED every book I've read that Erin has written. I also have the privilege of considering her a friend. This series feels like coming home. I am enthused to feel like I'm going home again. Sadly, this is likely the last book in this series. That is the only part I'm not looking forward to regarding reading it.

CWW: Rules for the Summer

I have enjoyed all of Quinn's books I have read thus far. I am confident this will be no different. She truly excels at the humor in romcoms for me. As such, if she writes it, I will happily give it a try. I am also SO ready for all of the summery romances as they are among my favorites.

Book Feature: Stride for Stride
Book Feature: Stride for Stride

Stride for Stride by Kim Stephenson is a wonderful story out now with wonderful LGBTQ+ rep!
Tropes
- Rivals to lovers
- Only one tent
- Olympics
- Coming out
- Secret relationship
Blurb
Jackson and Elliot have been neck-and-neck since their first race. Two elite marathoners, constantly pushing each other to the limit. But with the Olympics looming, they’re forced to do the unthinkable: train together.
Altitude camp means long runs, cold nights, and the kind of tension that’s not just competitive anymore. When a single kiss shatters the fragile line between enemies and something much more complicated, both men are left breathless—for reasons that have nothing to do with their last tempo run.
But between the pressure of the Olympics, increased media scrutiny and career-threatening injuries, their chance at love might not make it to the finish line.
Can they go stride for stride toward something real, or will the world pull them apart before they’ve even begun?
Stride for Stride is the sizzling follow-up to Your Pace or Mine. It is a standalone medium spice, MM Sports Romance and book 2 in the Running for the Romance series.
If you loved Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid and Pole Position by Rebecca J. Caffrey, you’ll fall hard for Jackson and Elliot in Stride for Stride
CWW: Our Perfect Storm

I have loved each and every single one of her other books so far. They are true peak summery reads for me. As such, I have massive levels of hype for whatever she puts out next. Do you like her books too?
