Pumped by K.M. Neuhold (January 2nd) I’m just a nerd, standing in front of a bench press, asking it not to humiliate me in front of my gym crush I’ve never walked into a gym on purpose in my life, and I’m not sure which part is more shocking, the massive beefcake who immediately challenges me to arm wrestle or the fact that I kind of want to come back. I spent years of my life refusing to lift…

I did my very first author swap with Aricka Alexander and received a copy of Where There’s Smoke, her most recent novel 🧁🔥 If you’re looking for a sweet + spicy black sapphic romance, this book is a perfect choice ❤️

Where There’s Smoke is available to buy in both ebook and paperback ✨

Not the first 2026 releases I’d thought I’d put out. But it seems romance is more compelling than horror at present. This list does comprise quite a few big name authors. More than I’m pleased with, really. But there are self-published works present too. This post includes Bookshop affiliate links. If you purchase a book through my links I may earn a commission.

I must stop you real quick to tell you that my book is available for purchase on Amazon.

Summary:  Iysis Spring was only 5 years old when her uncle told her to keep a secret or something bad would happen. She wasn't thinking about what would happen if she hadn't kept the secret. She was more afraid of what would happen if she did. Little did she know, opening her mouth would affect her over the years. As she grew up, her life started turning for the worse and when both of her parents are killed, she comes across the man who told her to keep her mouth shut and she's scared for her life as well as her younger sister's life. Lorenzo Haney is two years older and thinks that he's just lucky when he and Iysis cross paths one day. He has no idea that his family and her family knew each other. Little does he know, he was set up to be with her. Why? Because he is a vital part of their family's mission to protect Iysis and her sister. Operation: Saving Spring.
