September Reads! Yes, I know it's almost November

September Reads!

Yes, I know it's almost November—we’ve already established that I'm in over my head in all aspects of my life.

September was a glorious book month. I only read six books, but they all needed to be savored. Plus, I needed some much-needed sleep to help with the hefty sleep deficit I've been operating under. I discovered a new-to-me author - @authorchelseacurto - who I love. I read one ARC by one of my all-time favorites, @stephaniearcherauthor (I'm sorry I'm so late reviewing ‘The Wingman’ by the way 😬). And I realized that I find reading sentences written as if a character is speaking with their mouth full can make me giggle uncontrollably—I’m looking at you @beckamack.author (It's uncanny, I can hear them as I read—how are you are so good at that?).

The Wingman’ is a delightfully steamy, laugh-out

The Wingman’ is a delightfully steamy, laugh-out-loud hockey romance that will captivate you from the first chapter. The chemistry between Hayden and Darcy is undeniable, making it impossible not to root for them on their journey toward happily ever after. Their relatable struggles add depth to the story, while the slow-burn romance is filled with tantalizing tension that will keep you turning pages well past your bedtime. Each moment between Hayden and Darcy radiates emotional authenticity, allowing you to fall head over heels for both characters as you watch their love story unfold. I absolutely adored this book—and the entire series, for that matter—which solidifies Stephanie Archer’s place on my auto-buy list. I can’t wait to see what @stephaniearcherauthor has in store for us next!

P.S. — What are your thoughts on garden gnomes? Do you find them creepy, or do you see them as whimsical and adorable? Perhaps you don’t have an opinion at all. No matter where you fall on the garden-gnome-love spectrum, one thing’s for sure: by the end of this book, you will know exactly how you feel about garden gnomes. (😳 What?!) Trust me, just read the book—Daniel the Gnome is hilariously endearing! (and not the least bit creepy) 🤣

✨ A big thank you to @lbcreads and, of course, @stephaniearcherauthor for giving me the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review! ✨

**Note:** ‘The Wingman’ is the third book in the ‘Vancouver Storm’ series and can be read as a standalone novel. However, I recommend reading the series in order. Not only are the other books phenomenal, but they really set the stage for Hayden and Darcy’s story. Either way, you won’t be disappointed.
