Doll’s book reviews

New slow burn dark romance

March 29th, 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2

Book 3 in the series and we have a little dark romance sprinkled with some suspense. Wylder is the oldest of the Buckinghams and the leader of The Firm. Neo is best friends with Wylder brother in law and we see Neo and Wylder interact in book 2. Neo presses Wylder buttons like no one else can and you start to see him questioning himself. This is a bit of a slow burn and for me I felt like Neo sometimes dragged things out a bit but then the story really took a turn for me . Overall the brothers are funny and the dinners and the “girlfriend” situation is hilarious.

Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…

🔥Bi-Awakening

🖤Primal K!nk

🔥Boss/employee

🖤Neo falls first, Wylder falls harder

🔥Possessive/Protective MC

🖤Secret Society

⁠🔥Touch Him & D!e

As the eldest brother and leader of The Firm, I take my responsibilities very seriously. There’s nothing I won’t do to keep my family safe. Staying vigilant, always thinking ten steps ahead, and holding the pieces of my life together with steady hands. Control is everything, because if I loosen my grip for even a moment, the darkness I’ve buried inside will claw its way free.

Everything is stable. Predictable. Safe.

Until Neo.

He’s a distraction I can’t afford but a temptation I can’t seem to ignore. My darkness is drawn to him; it wants to be set free.

And as our enemies close in, Neo becomes the one variable I can’t control… and the one risk I find myself wanting to take. Because for the first time, surrendering to the dark doesn’t feel like weakness.

It feels a lot like love.

New from Natasha Madison

March 17th, 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another hit from Natasha Madison! It’s hard to choose a favorite because then she comes out with another release and another great hero! Knox uggghhh was absolutely a complete package! My heart broke for him on how wrong his wife was and couldn’t wait to see how Kylie was going to patch him up. Kylie was a boss! Her confidence and snarky attitude was the best for Knox. This is a team mates sister so it was a little complicated and also add in Knox dealing with having to trust again and the road to their HEA was a good one! The spice level was definitely spicy! This was a great read but it is Natasha so I definitely didn’t doubt that it would be a 5⭐️!

New age gap From Helena Hunting🚨

March 10th, 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Final book in this series and you will find an age gap, coach’s daughter trope. There is a 9year difference but I didn’t see a major difference. Tallulah and Flip have the same friend group and Flip plays for the Terror hockey team. Tally is in college and dealing with her parents divorce and Flip is redeeming himself and trying to change his image. She has had a crush on Flip for awhile and she is determined to let him know. Can there be a HEA or will it be complicated? Like I said Tally is young but there was a maturity to her character. I liked the banter between these two and seeing Flip in the other books I was happy to see him really caring and glad that I got to see more of his personality. Both sides have issues especially with her dad being his coach. Spice level was a 4 out of 5 .

Things I should never, under any circumstances ever do: ask my secret crush, aka. the most notorious (reformed) playboy in pro hockey, to take my virginity.

Too bad, I did.

After a string of terrible dates, I did the unthinkable. I propositioned Flip Madden.

Of course, he said no.
It isn’t that he’s almost a decade older than me and I’m still in university.

But because I’m his coach’s oldest daughter.

Not to mention my dad would bludgeon him with his hockey stick if he found out.

Which he won’t because it will never happen.

And now things are awkward because there’s no going back.

Except Flip is more protective than ever before and his eyes follow me in every room we’re in together. He brings flowers to my recitals and reads all the books I recommend.

Things I should never, under any circumstances ever do: hope Flip Madden might actually want me too.

🩰Single Guardian
🏈Best Friend’s Brother

🩷Blurb:

Hating Jameson Murphy is easy.
Wanting him is where everything gets complicated.

He’s my best friend’s older brother.
My father’s star player.
A charmingly infuriating football god I’ve spent a lifetime avoiding and failing to ignore.

He should be the last man tempting me into bad decisions. But when a snowstorm grounds our flight, and champagne blurs our judgment, one reckless night shatters every rule I’ve put in place . . . leaving me with two little pink lines and one very big problem.

Now, thanks to an unreliable mother, a surprise baby sister, and a new living arrangement I never saw coming, my carefully crafted life is unraveling faster than the worn satin ribbon on my favorite old pointe shoes.

And Jameson?

He’s everywhere.

In my space.

In my secrets.

Looking at me like he already knows how this ends and how it doesn’t.

Forcing me to face a truth I’m not ready to accept . . .

What if surrender doesn’t mean losing yourself?
What if it’s about trusting someone else?
And maybe . . . just maybe, what if it means finally finding home?
