Doll’s book reviews

New emotional read 🚨

May 3rd, 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This story has some trigger warnings and deals with sensitive topics. Damon is the GM for the Sierra Hockey team and Joey is the bad@$$ female coach. Damon has feelings for Joey and has determined that he will not hold back anymore. I don’t think Joey stood a chance with how determined he was. He is alpha and possessive but Joey gave some pushback. Joey has been through it and I love seeing how Damon tries to help her and be there for her. Damon himself has a battle within himself to control so the HEA is not an easy road for these two. This story will definitely rattle your emotions but so glad for their HEA.

💜💜 NEW RELEASE💜💜

She’s the one woman I can’t have.

And yet I can’t let her go…

I’ve respected Joey—Josephine—Banks from the moment I first came to the Sierra Hockey organization.

Over the years, that respect grew into friendship…and eventually, it became something more. Something dangerous. Something that I could never allow myself to have.

So I stayed away.

But then I discover the truth about Joey’s past with the team’s former head coach and everything changes.

I can’t stay away.

I don’t care about bad press or dumb decisions or all the ways a relationship between us can implode.

I just know I’ll do everything to make her mine.

Author’s note: There are some difficult themes in this story. For CW information, please check this book’s page on my website.

Mr. Charming by Piper Rayne

April 23rd, 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The dynamic duo strikes again! I was so excited for this book because not only was it the last in the series but it also had Tweetie story and it was time for his HEA. Sorry Tedi you did not have a chance with him. Their fate was sealed it was just a matter of time. First we start with the cover that is super cute. The illustrated covers are starting to grow on me. Second comes the title Mr charming but I think Tweetie was all of the titles in this series combined into one. Tweetie has broken the mold for a book boyfriend! He was everything and I felt all his emotions. These two have a past where they were in love and then life happened and they go years without being together. Fast forward and now they are in each others orbit and the fight to not fall is strong. Spoiler alert not strong enough! lol the journalist entries I devoured. It just really ties everything together and trust this HEA is fire. Loved it and as always can’t wait to see what’s next!

Mr. Charming by Piper Rayne is now live!

Three years ago, I swore to myself we were done.

Since then, Tweetie Sorenson has embraced the professional hockey player bachelor lifestyle—his social media is a highlight reel of clubs, friends, and a never-ending stream of different women.

It’s hard to believe he’s the same man who stole my heart the very night we met. With him, everything felt wild, spontaneous, and absolutely perfect. I thought he was my forever.

Then, he broke my heart. Or maybe we broke each other’s. Either way, it was over.

I’ve moved on—new city, dream job—until my boss throws me back into Tweetie’s world. I’m sent to Chicago to manage the Falcons’ social media, which means working alongside the one man I never truly let go of. FML.

New from Kat Singleton

April 21st, 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a new series from Kat and we have Callahan who is rich and happens to be Lucy’s exes brother! Yes that is correct. I was interested in how this would go. Callahan has a strong presence and he exudes confidence, sexy and rich. Lucy runs into him and from the start you can tell that there is intrigue. Lucy is trying to get her life in a row. Cooking is her passion and Callahan knows how to hook her in. This is a slow burn as she does not fall so easily. This book had a great balance of spice and good banter. I think it is a great start to the series and if you read it you will get a hint to who is next. Good read

New from SJ Tilly

April 1st, 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a first in the Mountain Men series and we are off to a good start. I do love SJ Tilly writing style so I was excited for this one. Sterling is waiting to meet his new employee that will do maintenance and instead of Court you have Courtney. He is not warm and fuzzy but he is sexy and infuriating! This book was a quick read and light in the angst department. I enjoyed this light read. I am interested if this will be the same for all in the series but I do recommend.

Everleigh

One night changed my whole life.

After the truth about that night came out, I left, taking my broken heart with me.

I knew the past was waiting to slice me open again.

But I was left with no choice but to go back.

Feelings and old emotions are like dandelions; no matter how many times you pull them out or try to get rid of them, they refuse to go away.

And he was that for me.

My everything until he was my nothing.

Brock

My father taught me about honor and integrity.

And in one split second, I ruined it all.

I lost the only dream I ever had and everything I ever wanted.

But I had no choice.

I tried to move on with my life.

I put all my focus on my daughter, never expecting to see the one woman I’d loved and lost.

They say time heals old wounds.

They were wrong.

Scars left from the past are easy to reopen.

I just hope I can survive the pain all over again.

Finn By Ashley James

March 11th, 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a new author to me so I was excited to read. I love a cowboy romance and add in a bi awakening and I was all in. Finn is a single daddy to cute little Tucker who needs a nanny. Enter Ash who happens to be Finn ex girlfriend brother… yep very interesting. They are both opposites but you know what they say opposites attract . Finn has never fallen for a guy so the feelings he gets from Ash is different and confusing. This is low angst but a cute romance with some spice. I am open to seeing how book 2 will be.

🔥Bi-Awakening

Falling for my girlfriend’s twin brother wasn’t what I had in mind when I hired him to be my son’s nanny.

Working on my family’s cattle ranch, the hours are long, and sometimes unpredictable, so when my regular nanny quits, leaving me in a pinch, I have to think fast.

In walks Ash Tudor.

My opposite in almost every way.

He’s cheerful and bubbly, has horrible taste in music, and does yoga in my yard almost every morning in the tightest shorts I’ve ever seen.

Not that I’m looking.

But it’s none of those things that have me scratching my head and second guessing everything I thought I knew about myself.

No… it’s the fact that he’s a him and I can’t seem to keep my eyes away, no matter how confusing that may be.

I’m nearly thirty, and never once have I looked at another man the way I catch myself looking at him.

The feelings and urges growing inside of me make no sense, and then when he gets a special delivery to the house of items he plans to use on himself, I can’t stop imagining him doing just that… Or imagining me using them on him.

But confusion and curiosity aside, I can’t fall into bed with my son’s nanny.

Doing so would be reckless and irresponsible.

No matter how tempting it may be.

Mr. Swoony by Piper Rayne is now live!

Hockey players were never my type.

At least, that’s what I thought-until I met Conor Nilsen. In truth, I didn’t know he was the goalie for the Chicago Falcons when he struck up a conversation the night of my bachelorette party.

He proved he wasn’t just some hot guy looking to score when he helped me get my drunk bridesmaid safely back to our hotel. That’s when he discovered my 30-before-30 bucket list—a list I hadn’t managed to check a single item off.

What was meant to be a night of stargazing turned into so much more. The chemistry between us was undeniable, and after one innocent night together, I started to question everything-especially my upcoming wedding to a man I wasn’t sure loved me.

Fast forward to my wedding day, and just as I’m standing at the altar, Conor bursts through the church doors to object. And now, somehow, I’m his roommate. Yikes.

New MM romance from Charlie Nowak 🚨

February 18th, 2025

3.5 ⭐️

MM
biawakening
Sports romance
Rugby sports very different but all the same. This was a friends to lovers and Bi awakening. Jonny and Devon are friends one has had feelings for the other knowing that his friend would probably not feel the same way. this story was low angst which I liked, but for me, the connection felt off.
I liked part of the book, but there were parts that felt a disconnect so to speak. The sexy scenes were entertaining, and Johnny does have to deal with his overwhelming feelings that he gets now when his friend starts dating. I did like the friendship that they had and all the side characters and teammates of Jonny. I will say it was not my favorite book so far, but it was not bad book either. I would still recommend this book.

Wanted: A Way To Control My Jealousy So I Don’t Get Sin-Binned

When my best friend goes on a date with a mutual acquaintance, I’m supposed to be happy for him, not so angry I want to start screaming.

Devon and I have been close ever since we were children, but I’ve never been possessive of him. Until now.

Seeing him with another man makes me want him in ways I’d never imagined wanting anyone before, and now all I can think about is having him in my arms. My jealousy is starting to get the better of me, both on and off the rugby pitch, and I can’t stop losing control. And Devon has noticed.

Maybe it’s time I come clean and tell him just how much I want him.

And hope he wants me too.
