Sunny Shelly’s Review: Right Your Wrongs by Kandi Steiner

What happens when the youngest, most successful coach in the NHL comes face-to-face with the woman he never got over — only to find out she’s married to his new General Manager?

Everything I’ve spent my life building is suddenly at risk.

I loved Ariana Ridley long before the world knew my name. Before the NHL. Before the pressure of being one of the youngest coaches in the league. Before I learned how to survive by locking my heart down tight.

Leaving her was the hardest thing I’ve ever done — and the one choice I never made peace with.

Now she’s back.
And she belongs to another man.

My new General Manager.

I tell myself I can handle it. Discipline is my job. Control is my strength. I know how to keep my distance — how to respect the lines that should never be crossed.

But every glance drags the past to the surface. Every quiet moment reminds me the love I buried never died.

I see the cracks she tries to hide, the fear she’s learned to live with, and the way she still looks at me like I’m the one place she can breathe.

I want to protect her.
I want to fight for her.
And I want things I have no right to want.

Because if I cross that line, I don’t just risk my career — I risk shattering the woman I never stopped loving.

Some choices haunt us forever.
Some loves never let go.

And trying to right my wrongs might just ruin us both.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Wow, Right Your Wrongs was intense! This book definitely is a bit heavier than most of Kandi Steiner’s books, but it was such a beautiful second-chance story as Coach Shane reunites with the one who got away…. who is now married to the team’s new GM.

Shane and Ariana’s reconciliation was an emotional rollercoaster. The book is told in past and present chapters, so we get to see Shane and Ari in college two decades ago, what led to their breakup, and how they come to reunite. At the time, Shane thought he was doing the best thing for Ari by ending their relationship, but he had no idea what course that would set her on with the next man she met. When they cross paths again, Shane realizes he must keep his distance, but there are little red flags that he notices here and there about her marriage — and what kind of sleazeball Nathan really is — that eventually turn into huge warning signs. And that’s when Shane decides he’s going to right the wrongs he made in the past.

This was a great story of resilience and true love. Kandi did a great job in telling the delicate aspects of this story and what Ari was going through at home. The audio is told in duet by narrators Savannah Thomas and Devon Braithwaite. I am not very familiar with either one of them, but I thought they did a wonderful job in bringing this story to life.

I really hope that Kandi has a book in mind for Ari’s brother, Georgie, because I would love to get to know that newly minted doctor better!

He spent a lifetime trying to escape his dark past…but to save her, he’ll wade back into the shadows.

Braedyn Winslow never expected to return to Starlight Grove―the town that took everything from her. Not after her best friend, the one who’d sacrificed so much for her, vanished without a trace. But with a young son to raise and a past that won’t stay buried, Brae is back…and determined to uncover the truth.

She just didn’t count on the brooding, reclusive mountain man living next door.

Dex Archer is the stuff of local legend―silent, rugged, and surrounded by whispers of his and his brothers’ violent father. But Brae sees through the scowl and his parentage to the man beneath: fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind…and just dangerous enough to protect her when someone starts warning her off her search.

The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to stay away from Dex. And as things get more perilous, Brae realizes the only person she can rely on is the one man who swore never to trust again.

Only someone isn’t happy that Brae has been digging, and they’ll do anything to stop her. But Dex? He’ll do anything to save her, even slip back into the dark…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Catherine Cowles never disappoints with her small-town romantic suspense books! Having met Dex in the Sparrow Falls series, I was excited to get to know the reclusive hacker better, and Across the Vanishing Sky was great!

A year after her best friend vanished without a trace, single mom Braedyn returns to the mountain town, along with her small son, Owen, desperate to get answers. She never expects to find help from her grumpy next-door neighbor, Dex, and his family.

I loved the banter between Dex and Brae, and how this guy that I’d otherwise known as a grumpy recluse completely changes throughout the book. The bond that Dex forms with Owen was so special and sweet, and I especially loved the family dynamics between Dex and his brothers.

As always, Cowles did a fantastic job with the suspense element in this story.

I loved getting to know the Archer brothers, and the cameo appearances by characters from some of Cowles’ prior series were a pleasant surprise! Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke did a fantastic job in this dual narration, and the cameos by other narrators Teddy Hamilton, Sebastian York, Connor Crais, Adam Gold as Dex’s brothers were an incredible tease for the future books. This was a fantastic start to this new series, and I can’t wait to see what comes next in Starlight Grove!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Change The Play by Kaylee Ryan

Title: Change the Play
Series: Nashville Rampage #5
Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance
Tropes: Football/Found Family/Forced Proximity
Workplace Romance
Release Date: March 3, 2026

 

BLURB

 

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Change the Play is a found family, forced proximity, workplace, sports romance.

 

Foster
I learned early how to survive on my own. Keep my head down and my past locked away.
My childhood taught me that nothing lasts and no one chooses you forever. So I built a life free from love—and pain.
Football gave me discipline. Success gave me distance. Silence kept me safe.
Then Eden walked into my house.
My new housekeeper. Someone meant to clean my messes and remain on the edges of my life.
Except she didn’t stay on the edges. She saw me—really saw me—and didn’t look away. Her laugh somehow turned my empty house into something that felt like a home.
With her, the walls I spent years building began to crack.
Loving her means risking everything. It means believing I’m worth choosing. She makes me want to stop hiding… and change the play.
Eden
I know what it’s like to grow up unwanted. To pack your life into boxes and pretend it doesn’t hurt when no one ever unpacks them for you.
Loneliness taught me independence and resilience, to build a family from the people who stay. I never expected more.
Then I met Foster.
He’s quiet and guarded, carrying the weight of a past he refuses to name.
Working for him was supposed to be simple—do my job, keep my head down, don’t cross lines.
But the more time we spend together, the more I see the man beneath the armor. The one he hides from the world.
We weren’t looking for love. Yet somewhere in the stolen moments, we chose each other.
And for the first time, I’m not just building a family—I’m finally home.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I have loved every book in Kaylee Ryan’s Nashville Rampage series so far, but Foster and Eden’s story has been my absolute favorite of the bunch! At first glance, these two have nothing in common: he’s a quiet, reserved pro athlete, and she’s the sunny young woman who was recently assigned to clean his condo by the cleaning service. But as it turns out, Foster and Eden have so much more in common than either one of them realized, since they are both products of the foster system.

Yet how they each took that similar experience and applied it to their grown-up life was vastly different. Foster has kept himself isolated; despite his found family with his band of brothers, they know little about his past. He’s also still carrying around the heartache of having lost the woman years ago whom he thought was his forever, and that has colored everything he’s done over the past several years. He is quiet and disciplined, and thrives on control. Yet he is so, so lonely.

Eden was a ray of sunshine in comparison. She took those heartaches of her childhood and let them fuel her to make positive changes in her life. Her circle may only include her best friend Carrie’s family, but she has fully let them into her life in a way that Foster can’t even fathom letting the guys into his. Once these two come together, the transformation that Foster goes through is magical because for the first time, he can wants to let someone in. It was wonderful to see how Eden was able to scale those walls, and how he turned his manner of thinking around once he realized she was his End Game.

Change the Play is a beautiful story of resilience, hope, and the comfort that comes with having someone willing to stay in your corner!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Top Shelf Stud by Kate Meader

TOP SHELF STUD by Kate Meader is NOW LIVE

Blurb:

The snail doc wants a baby. I volunteered to do the deed. But it isn’t long before I realize a “donation” will never be enough. I want to be a dad, but most of all, I want her.

Franky

When confronted with the cold, hard facts of her diminishing chances to be a mom, what’s a woman of science to do?

Make a spreadsheet of eligible donors, of course.

Finding a man for life is not in the cards, but one for this singular purpose? I can do that. As the daughter of a Chicago Rebels legend and an expert in the field of gastropods—more commonly known as snails and slugs—I have plenty of choices in the worlds of both hockey and academia. The selection process should be easy, especially as my methodology has already eliminated several options, including Jason Isner, childhood nemesis and recently acquired defenseman for the Rebels. I’ve always considered him arrogant, cruel, and to be honest, not the brightest bulb.

I’m rarely wrong. But I might have been mistaken about Jason . . .

Jason

I surprised even myself when I offered to be Franky St. James’s baby daddy, but fatherhood has been a dream of mine forever. If I can achieve my goal without the hassle of a relationship, even better. I won’t be one of those “pump and dump” donors, though. I want the whole package: nighttime feedings, shopping for cute onesies, teaching my kid to skate. I’m in it for life, and as Franky and I travel this road together, I start to imagine what that life might look like. Not just a baby, but a family of my own.

The thing is, the doc has all sorts of hypotheses about jocks and relationships, and it’s going to take a lot of persuasion—sexy and otherwise—to prove her wrong. She might think the mating rituals of her beloved snails are the only “coupling” worth studying, but I’m determined to show her that when it comes to seeking a mate, this player is as driven as any species in the animal kingdom.

Because making a baby is just the beginning . . .

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I adored this enemies-t0-lovers/baby pact story! Kate Meader is not an author I am very familiar with, so I was blown away by how well-done Jason and Franky’s romance was!

Jason and Franky are both next-gen characters from another Kate Meader series; like I said, I was not previously familiar with this author’s body of work, but I had zero issues trying to connect the dots when it came to their tangled history. They aren’t exactly childhood friends, but they have been a part of each other’s lives since they were teenagers because their families are connected — so these two have a long history of despising one another. Then, when they come to realize that both of their biological clocks are ticking and they agree to a mutual baby pact, Jason and Franky soon find that they are exactly what has been missing out of each other’s lives.

KM did a great job of making both these characters vulnerable and insecure. I expected “Snail Girl” Franky to have some issues, because she’s a bit of a geek, right? But I was not expecting Jason, a pro hockey player, to have as many hangups as he did. He was already a great golden retriever character, but getting to know him on a deeper level as his insecurities came to the surface made me fall for the guy even more.

On top of that, the dialogue between the characters was top-notch, and their family circle was fullof lovely and supportive secondary characters. Top Shelf Stud was absolutely charming, and I was so happy to see these two develop a genuine friendship throughout her pregnancy. And then FINALLY get on the same page by the end!

Sunny Shelly’s Audio Review: Hit The Ground by Julia Wolf

Caleb Kelly has been my secret weakness since the day I moved to Sugar Brush, Wyoming.

I spend my days among the stacks as the town’s librarian and my nights serving drinks at Joy’s Elbow Room. It’s safe, predictable, and a little boring. The only thing that makes my pulse kick is when Caleb Kelly walks through the door and takes a seat at one of my tables.

Four years of stolen glances, watching him laugh with his family, listening to him talk about his son, and pretending he doesn’t unravel me just by saying my name. Alice.

Then one reckless night, I steal a kiss. And for one perfect, heart-stopping second, he kisses me back.

But the thing is, Caleb doesn’t date. He has his son, his ranch, and no room for anything—or anyone—else.

So I finally stop waiting, stop hoping, stop hiding. It’s way past time to begin living my life on my own terms.

Just as I start to move forward, trouble knocks me back. And when I need someone the most, Caleb is the one by my side again and again, standing between me and the worst of it. His steady, fierce presence is impossible to ignore.

I should know better than to keep falling for a man who told me he can’t give me more. I should walk away before I get hurt again.

It’s just that every time he shows up, every time he really sees me, every time he stays, my heart refuses to listen.

But letting him in might be the one thing I can’t come back from.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Oh my goodness, this story was absolutely charming. Julia Wolf isn’t an author I’m very familiar with, but I absolutely adored Alice and Caleb’s slow-burn romance.

Alice is the local librarian, with a side gig at the town diner, and Caleb is the eldest brother of the Kelly family, dedicated to his teenage son and the family ranch. She’s had a crush on Caleb for a few years, while he has been oblivious to her pining. Alice finally gets the courage to make a move (thinking her feelings would be reciprocated), only for Caleb to turn her down. So of course, after she’s attempted to move on is when he realizes he’s interested in her.

Their relationship is a slow-burning, friends-to-lovers, and I loved the progression of their romance. I loved how Alice stood up to Caleb, and more or less put him in his place as he tried to make amends. Both of these characters have overcome some difficulties (she’s got a bit of a complicated family background, and he has sworn off relationships), and I thought they complemented one another well, once they finally got on the same page. I also thought the author did a lovely job of weaving in Alice’s relationship with Caleb’s son, Jesse, and how the two of them developed a friendship of their own.

Even though Hit The Ground has a touch of suspense (Alice finds herself in a bit of trouble), it’s a relatively low-angst story that still managed to hit check off all the emotional boxes for me. Narrators Emma Wilder and Sean Masters were a joy to listen to.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Hotshot by Piper Rayne

THE HOTSHOT by Piper Rayne is NOW LIVE

Raising my cousin’s three kids wasn’t in my five-year plan.
Actually, it wasn’t in 
any plan.

One minute I’m a single labor and delivery nurse living a quiet life and the next, I’m navigating guardianship hearings, meltdowns, and homework I’m pretty sure requires a math degree.

Enter Hayes Carlisle.

My best friend’s older brother.
Chicago Colts newest catcher.
And the man I once kissed and immediately pretended I didn’t.

So, when the custody battle I’ve been dreading becomes a reality, I shouldn’t be surprised that Hayes swoops in with a wild idea—a fake relationship. According to him, pretending we’re together will polish his image and prove to the court I’m not taking on an instant family alone.

But pretending to be Hayes’ girlfriend is a terrible idea.

Because he remembers how to make me laugh.
Because he looks at me like our kiss wasn’t a one-time mistake.
Because the kids start asking him to read bedtime stories.
Because my heart starts wanting things my life doesn’t have room for.

I can manage the chaos. I can fight for these kids.
But pretending not to fall for Hayes Carlisle?

That might be the one thing I can’t do.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Piper Rayne kicks off their new The Dugout series with The Hotshot, and Hayes and Leighton’s story was a fun, best friend’s brother/secret crush/slow burn story with a healthy dose of pining, mutual crushing and family drama mixed in.

When Leighton’s cousin and husband are tragically killed in an accident, she is named the guardian of their three young children. But when the guardianship is called into question by other family members, Leighton is facing a custody battle… and Hayes steps up to be her fake boyfriend to help her keep the kids. Their “pretending” to date soon turns into a real relationship, which is not at all a hardship for either of these characters, who have secretly been pining for one another since they shared a kiss years ago.

I really loved how the history between Leighton and Hayes, as well as her friendship with his sister Callie, was brought into play as they entered a relationship. He connected so easily with all three kids, and really became an integral part of their lives. Hayes is also struggling with his career, trying to rebuild his reputation after a tumultuous previous season, so the book covers his struggles there as well.

I read this book in tandem with listening to the audio, and JF Harding and CJ Bloom did a wonderful job.

Piper Rayne always does a great job of creating friend groups, and I loved the banter between Hayes and his teammates Easton (Bailey!) and Decker. I am really looking forward to the rest of this series!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: Never Stopped Loving You by Siobhan Davis

When Callan Hunt arrived at Ryemont High senior year, I couldn’t have predicted the hot Irish football player would become my everything … and end up breaking my heart.

College and dreams of a career in interior design were my sole focus until my new neighbor bulldozed his way into my life.

Callan had ambitions too. He planned to leave Vermont after graduation to pursue his dream of playing for an English Premier League club.

We weren’t looking for love, but fate had other plans.

When Callan was scouted during our freshman year of college, I couldn’t have been prouder.

Until everything came crashing down in one crippling blow.

I was devastated, and it took years to recover.

After finally moving on from the heartache of my past, I now have a successful career and a billionaire CEO fiancé.

Then my first love reappears.

Callan says it’s time I learned the truth about that night.

He claims he’s never stopped loving me and vows to fight for me in a way he couldn’t before.

He seems determined to keep every promise he ever made me, but how is it possible after everything that’s happened?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

I know I can count on Siobhan Davis to deliver an angsty, emotional romance, and Never Stopped Loving You delivered exactly what I was hoping for!

This story is told in two parts: Part 1 is when Astrid and Callan meet and begin “fake dating” when he moves to town in high school, and it carries into their college years as their fake relationship becomes something so very real and sacred for the two of them. But then, just as Callan gets his big break to become a professional football player, they are torn apart in a gut-wrenching way. After an eight-year time jump, the book picks up with Part 2 when Astrid returns to her hometown, engaged to someone else, and comes face-to-face with the guy who demolished her heart. And with nothing left to lose, Callan comes clean about what happened all those years ago.

Callan and Astrid’s second-chance romance was full of emotion as these two had to overcome past secrets, lies, and heartbreak. This story has some rather dark themes, so it is not an easy road for Callan and Astrid to reunite. As what happened in the past unfolded, my heart broke for both of these characters.

Never Stopped Loving You is the kind of book that sticks with you long after you are done reading it!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
My Heart To Remember is the first book I’ve read by A.B. Medley, and I was really impressed with London/Lennon’s story and her path to reclaiming her life after a horrible car crash that killed her twin sister.

There are so many twists and turns in this story. The author did a great job of balancing the survivor’s quest for answers with how the accident impacted the twins’ boyfriends, because the accident took something away from both of them as well. I really loved how the hero’s POV wasn’t introduced until well into this story, once the heroine has more or less reclaimed her memories. And then the story not only became one of London/Lennon’s identity crisis, but her determination to beat her stalker at their own game.

My Heart To Remember is full of intrigue, grief, love, friendship, loss, heartbreak, and so much more. It is not at all a typical romance book, but it is highly addictive and entertaining!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Hushed Harmony closes out Kaylene Winter’s Charming Irish series, and we finally get rockstar Liam’s story as he falls in and out of love with his manager, Linus, and their lives intersect with singer Avonna.

This story is full of secrets, grief, heartache, reconnections, overcoming trauma, making peace with yourself, and so much more. It follows Linus and Liam over two-ish decades, from when they first meet as college students. Their lives become intertwined with Avonna, who ends up as Fireball’s lead singer. And her backstory is a doozy since she escaped from a religious cult. From the previous books in this series, I knew that Liam had a tumultuous relationship with his father (because of his dad’s alcoholism years ago), so I really enjoyed getting deeper into that through his POV. Then there’s Linus, who grew up in a super strict, religious family.

All three characters are flawed, with tremendous baggage and trauma. The chemistry and connection between all three of them was lovely, and there was so much depth to their story as they clawed their way to finding a way to be together as a polyamorous couple. For that fact alone, Hushed Harmony was quite different than the other books in the Charming Irish series, but Liam’s story was just as captivating as his brothers before him.

I have really enjoyed following the McGoughlin siblings as they find their HEA, and Hushed Harmony was a super emotional ending!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: On The Brink Of Bliss by A.L. Jackson

On the Brink of Bliss by A.L. Jackson is now live!A sizzling single mom, fake marriage, heroine in danger romance from New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author, A.L. Jackson

The last thing I expected when I found the trespasser bathing in my river was for it to be her…


Daisy Adair has always been my dream girl. From when we were best friends in high school to finding her now.
A gorgeous mother who shows up on my property with three kids in tow.

But I became a recluse for a reason.

The life I chose is full of wickedness and peril. The last thing I need is the object of my every fantasy invading my space and risking her life because of me.

Only when she tells me she’s on the run from her ex, I promise to do anything to keep them safe, even marry her to protect her kids.

That single kiss at the altar rips through every barrier, our passion unleashed.
Now, living under the same roof blurs the lines I’ve drawn.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Cash and Daisy’s story was the perfect ending to the Moonlit Ridge series! Having gotten to know Cash as the quiet recluse among the Sovereign Sanctum guys over the course of this series, I loved seeing the “Big Gwumpy Giant” play house with Daisy, the one who got away when he was a teenager, and her children. He tried his best to keep his distance, but there was no way he could!

This story had a great redemption arc for Cash, also. The man has been carrying around so much guilt and grief for years, and I loved seeing his walls finally come down once he began to trust in himself and a future with Daisy.

Through flashback chapters, we got to see Cash and Daisy as teenagers, and then how their friendship fell apart just as it was on the cusp of becoming something more. And that backstory just made their present-day situation more emotional, and explained so much about Casg as a hero and why he’s been so closed-off all these years.

At the end of the day, Daisy and her children found a safe haven, a new family, and Cash got the love and affection he was worthy of.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
