Historia
There's no picking who you love...nor getting rid of them. Murphy Malone loves his orchard, his mother, and his dog. Life is great until he can't stop thinking about what he's missing—someone to share it all with. When he realizes that his love for his best friend, Jesse Carver, runs deeper than the bonds of friendship, it just makes things worse. The problem—Jesse Carver is the straightest man he's ever known. Only time and distance can ease the ache, but what do you do when your loyal best friend follows you to the gay singles cruise you fled to in an attempt to escape your feelings?

MM best friends-to-lovers
Revisado: 06-29-25
Story Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (0-5)
Narration: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 (0-5)
Overall: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (0-5)
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (0-5) I bump up for public places/outdoor spaces, 🍑 stuff, and it’s deliciously detailed.
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 It is Carver Brothers book 2 (and I loved book 1) but it totally works as a standalone.
🤩 Narrated (first person dual POV/dual narration) by Liam Dicosimo & Tim Paige—they are both so entertaining and bring all the emotions. I get swept away in them.
🤩 I love how Dianna Roman can make me LOL even in the heart of the heavy topics.
🤩 What a gorgeous MM, slow burn, best friends-to-lovers story. LGBTQIA+ representation.
🤩 Fabulous characterization, even in their fabulous conversations.
🤩 So captivating from the start and then extra exciting on the gay singles cruise ship. 🥵😮💨
🤩 The steam is perfectly timed and so vulnerable and refreshing and fun and hot!!!! 🌶️❤️🔥
🤩 I love a dressing room scene, especially when shopping for vacation Speedos.
🤩 The tractor shed.
🤩 The family interactions.
🤩 The ABBA grand gesture!
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 Just more. That’s why I just bought myself her newest release Caged by the Stranger. I’m behind on her books, but that’s good for me.
P.S. I like to give Dianna credit for growing my heart two sizes when I read my first ever MM romance—The Shutout (2022).

Historia
My dad and I have been estranged for years, but as his only living relative, it's no surprise I inherit his massive cattle ranch when he dies. But the stipulation in his will that requires me to live on the ranch and actively manage it for a year before I can access my inheritance money. I haven't stepped foot in Hartsville, Texas, population one thousand, since my parents split when I was six. Now a city girl through and through, I never imagined having to move back to cowboy country. But I need the money to invest in my company, and a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (0-5) I bump up for public places/outdoor spaces. Deliciously detailed.
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 Gorgeous writing and descriptions—I’m obsessed with how fully enthralled I was in the whole story. I felt like a character in the story (you know a horse or a bartender, etc.) experiencing it all happen.
🤩 Lila Winters and Stephen Dexter are fantastic as Mollie and Cash, both bringing that little bit of southern drawl to cowboy romance. They are fabulous at changing their voices for the amazing conversations. They bring all the feels!
🤩 Fabulous enemies-to-lovers plot and banter.
🤩 Ranch work and soaking in Epsom salt baths.
🤩 Secret, unwanted attraction. And hot self-pleasure in the slow burn.
🤩 LOL funny and so much smirking.
🤩 Live music and dancing at the Rattler. I love a little jealousy at the local bar!
🤩 So much steamy, spicy talk. Oh, these two are so hot!
🤩 “leave it to this man to make me laugh in the middle of a very real crisis.” Isn’t this the real truth in finding the right partner?!
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:

Historia
A year ago, Jules stumbled upon the man of her dreams in a bar on New Year's Eve. After a lifetime of watching romantic comedies, she was sure she had found her soulmate. That is, until she learned he has an entire family and blocked him. A year later, she’s having the worst day she possibly could, leaving her stuck on the sidewalk outside her place in a ballet costume, watching firefighters condemn her house because of a water main break when a little girl grabs her hand and tells her she’s her Christmas wish.

Narration: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 (0-5)
Overall: 4/5
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥 (0-5)
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 the dual narration with Savannah Peachwood & Sebastian York is fabulous because these two are both really good at the conversations, changing voices for the other character.
🤩 Single dad, nanny set-up situation, but add one-night-stand/second chance romance.
🤩 Nate is so sweet and patient. Jules is so fun with Nate’s daughter.
🤩 Phone fun while Nate waits patiently for her to be ready.
🤩 The movie time/couch scene gave me all the tingles.
🤩 So much spicy talk.
🤩 This quote is everything: “Let me love you madly.”
🤩 Speaking of quotes, this teaser I saw months ago is the whole reason I added this book to my TBR is the first place: “I told Santa I wanted to meet the real-life Ashlyn [her doll] for Christmas so she could fall in love with Dad, and now she’s here!”
🤩 So many LOL moments in true romcom fashion.
🤩 I love the “stay quiet hot ending!!!
🤩 And I adore the Christmas magic present unwrapping.
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 Jules needs some therapy for me to believe in this second chance.
💫 I like a boy obsessed but not when it feels a bit manipulative (with secrets).

Historia
Spending a week as a “fifth wheel” to two happy couples isn’t the best cure for heartbreak, but Eve Driscoll’s options for spring break are limited. Either join her best friend for a group getaway or slouch on the couch reliving the unexpected end of her three-year relationship. Time away from campus might be exactly what Eve needs to refocus on her life-long dream that’s about to become a reality—moving to New York City to become an artist. She’s spent most of college playing it safe. Maybe she should take some risks before graduating. Starting with a road trip to California…

Narration: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 (0-5)
Overall: 4/5
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥 (0-5)
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 Books one and two are both five star reads/audiobooks for me!! Work as standalones.
🤩 Dual narration—Rose Dioro & Christian Fox are fantastic at the fabulously written conversations! You know, about what they did or didn’t see in the bathroom.
🤩 Extra extra slowwwwwww burn that is totally worth it! If you want that longing/edging from slow burn goodness, you need this book on your life.
🤩 And the narrators make it extra worth it when the reserved personalities take a turn—fabulous audiobook entertainment!
🤩 Secret crush, right person/wrong time/missed opportunity.
🤩 Forced proximity.
🤩 Drunk Eve is fun!
🤩 Hunter is so sweet and attentive.
🤩 Bucket list fun!
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 Lots of heavy topics, more than I was expecting. But it certainly brings all the feels and is so well written. I bawled. I think I just need a bit more comedic relief.
💫 I was a little bit underwhelmed by the road trip, only one room/bed, spring break trip, and hot tub scene. But the characterization is fabulous. I think it’s just the vibe of two more reserved/reluctant MCs.

I’m the last guy on the planet who should be a dad. My life is chaos. My sins written dark and deep.

And she’s holding the hand of a little girl who looks just like me.

Steam: 🔥🔥🔥☄️ (0-5) I bump up for public places/outdoor spaces.
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 Erin Mallon is a dual narration queen—so sensual and hot, changing voices so well to bring us all the emotions. She brings all the different feels as Emery: strong, sassy, scared, sensual.
🤩 Jason Clarke is a perfect Kane with such big feelings coming through in his gruff voice. He had me tingling in chapter 36. I love me a hot, attentive, protector.
🤩 I’m pretty sure this series is making me realize I adore morally grey MCs, even the unalivers (say what?!), especially if they are fighting the good fight of protecting innocent women and children from horrible abusers. Sovereign Sanctum has my whole heart.
🤩 These two are so hot, vulnerable, and intimate at the same time. Deliciously detailed steam!
🤩 The suspense, the plot twist, ugh, it’s all so captivating with all the extra feels.
🤩 That scene with Kane & his mom was harrrrrrd to listen to but so well written. Check the trigger warnings.
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 I think this series along with Navessa Allen have made me brave to try Butcher & Blackbird (The Ruinous Love Trilogy).

My ex’s brother is officially off-limits. Right? He’s ten years older. He’s only in town for a few weeks. And did I mention he’s my ex-boyfriend’s brother? But when I agree to be the grumpy lumberjack’s temporary assistant, it gets harder and harder to resist him. He’s all beard, broad shoulders, and growls, but I savor every one of his rare smiles.

Entertaining DUET narration for a fun slow burn.

Overall: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (0-5)
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥 (0-5)
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 Updating for the audiobook: Mollie Stark & Aiden Snow are beautifully cast for Lila & Owen. The entertaining DUET narration makes the slow burn extra enjoyable and oh, so worth it! The after the gala scene definitely had me smirking (and squirming) in delight—they drove me wild with this hot and vulnerable conversation and interaction.
🤩 I’m so happy to finally be in my lumberjack era in Lovewell, Maine with Daphne Elliot! I’ve been drooling over the TikTok teasers for so long.
🤩 Small-town, rural Maine. Captivating moose lessons. “Brother. You’re in Maine now. Best learn to slow down a bit or you won’t survive.” Beautifully described scenery.
🤩 Workplace romance. Yes, please! Forced proximity works on me. “This is a big job.” Gus: “I know. That’s why Finn and I found an assistant for you.” Owen: “Sorry, what?” Brothers!! Ha!
🤩 The family business plot, with a little added suspense, is interesting and captivating.
🤩 Lila also happens to be Owen’s younger brother’s ex-girlfriend.
🤩 Age gap.
🤩 All the unwanted and forbidden attraction and tension.
🤩 The way Lila wants to get Owen to lose control. I just love how she’s sweet, smart, and hard-working but also so fun and spunky too. “Don’t be ashamed. You, Owen Hebert, are one fine vintage piece.” 😂
🤩 The way Owen started to look a little less Boston businessman and a little more lumberjack every day. More beautiful descriptions.
🤩 Owen is total book boyfriend material: “And regardless of how painfully gorgeous you are, your mind, Lila, your mind is magnificent.”
🤩 Boston for work, and I’m a sucker for a charity gala.
🤩 The after the gala scene did all the things to me—whew, slow burn to smokin’ hot.
🤩 The small-town food insecurity representation was sweet and perfect.
🤩 Same with the celiac representation. All of it just made me love these characters so much and adore them as couple. They are an amazing team!
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 Please take me to Maine and Lovewell and the Caffeinated Moose for a honey oatmilk latte.
💫 The post drama/trauma couch scene is so sweet, but I was craving it to be extra hot (even in the stillness).

I should have known I’d break the oath I made when I offered to let my best friend’s little sister move in with me… She’s the sweetest woman on the face of the planet. And to my great misfortune, the sexiest one, too. She’s been living under her brother’s roof her entire life, and she’s ready to spread her wings. And I’m the masochist who offers she stay at my place until she can find an apartment. When I hear her having a nightmare, the only thing I can do is go to her. Hold her so she knows she’s safe from her demons.

Brother’s best friend, morally gray but fighting the good fight.
Revisado: 06-17-25
4.5 rounded up.
I’m loving the forbidden, best friend’s sister, roommates, forced proximity, care & comfort, and only you vibes/tropes!!
And, I’m pretty sure this series is making me realize I adore morally grey MCs, even the unalivers (say what?!), especially if they are fighting the good fight of protecting innocent women and children from horrible abusers.
I just get a tiny bit annoyed with a wishy washy MC. And they probably aren’t the type to get therapy, or is recommend it.

I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop... Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that. My life is dangerous. My calling wicked. Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent. I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office. The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts. When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

Morally gray biker MMC who protects (and stuff) with his whole heart
Revisado: 06-13-25
Suspense romance is where it’s at! I love me a morally gray biker MMC who fights the good fight of protecting women and children from horrible monsters. That plot twist had me ALMOST in as much of a chokehold as the steamy hot goodness between Charleigh & River.

Historia
He's a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend. "Emotionally unavailable" doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

Overall: 4.75/5 (0-5)
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (0-5) I bump up for public places/outdoor spaces.
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 A hilarious meet-cute/meet-mistake & fake dating a billionaire situation.
🤩 Forced proximity.
🤩 Fabulous banter from the start!
🤩 I’m immediately so smitten with both MCs.
🤩 When Hayes’ family shows up unannounced, and that first “for show” kiss!
🤩 That bossy massage, by Begonia, and how much it worked on Hayes.
🤩 So fabulously written and executed in opposites attract (kind of grumpy-sunshine) beauty. It’s just so good. I can’t get enough. It’s so entertaining and witty but still with all the feels.
🤩 Such slow burn fun! I love how they actually enjoy each other and want to be good to each other. And please each other!
🤩 So hot and needy for each other. Fantastic and intimate dirty talk.
🤩 Steam at the gala!
🤩 I didn’t take any notes about the narration—pretty much because they had me in a chokehold!
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 But no steam after the time apart? I’m so needy/greedy for it.
