The Wild Card

Title: The Wild Card

Series: Love Stories in Sheet Cake, Texas #3

AuthorEmma St. Clair

Publisher: Emma St. Clair

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Author Provided

My Review:

While The Wild Card could read as a standalone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading The Buy-In, The Bluff, and The Pocket Pair first. I love this series, and it is one you will want to start at the beginning. I reread the entire series before starting this one, and I am glad I did. There were things I had forgotten.

Curveball on the Dance Floor

 Curveball on the Dance Floor JustRead Blog Tour

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Curveball on the Dance Floor by Karin Beery, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: Curveball on the Dance Floor
Series: Novak Sisters #2
Author: Karin Beery
Publisher: Independently Published
Release Date: October 28, 2025
Genre: Contemporary Romance

My review:

Curveball on the Dance Floor is the second book in the series. I have not read the first one yet, but I wish I had. While this can easily read as a standalone novel, I do feel like I missed a few details, like why Carmen (one of Chris's sisters) is in Germany.

Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love

 Title: Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love

Series: Oakley Island #3.5

Author: Emma St. Clair & Jenny Proctor 

Publisher: Independently Published 

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, RomCom, Christmas

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

Izzy and Her Off-Limits Love is a quick visit back to the characters of Oakley Island. It's labeled as a Christmas romance, but very little of the story has to do with Christmas. It's a fun second-generation story.

I enjoyed The Second Story Bookshop. It is a second-chance romance between Shelby and Gray. They both have dealt with trauma, and in Shelby's case, she is still holding a lot of resentment.

All's Well that Friends Well

Title: All's Well That Friends Well

Series: Lucky in Love #2

Author: Gracie Ruth Mitchell     

Narrators: Ellen Quay & Eric Fox

Publisher: Independently Published, Audible Audio

Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom

Source: Net Galley

My Review:

All's Well that Friends Well is the second book in the Lucky in Love series. This series is about a sibling group, and while I will always recommend reading them in order, this one could be read as a standalone. The first book is about Indie, and this one is about Juliette, and they have two other siblings, Aurora and Silas.

Title: The Art of Falling in Love with Your Enemy

Series: Sweetkiss Creek #2

Author: Anne Kemp

Narrators: Wyeth Watts and Mia Madison

My Review:

The Art of Falling in Love with Your Enemy is the second book in the Sweetkiss Creek series, but can easily stand-alone.
