Project Hail Mary
Please Don’t Ask Me to Explain Lightyears (But I Loved This Book) I’m not a big science buff. I mean, I like SciFi but if you put a bunch of sciencey information in front of me, my brain generally shuts off and I get 50 pages in without know what’s going on. I was skeptical […]

Hardy Billionaires Series
Belonging to the Rose-Universe: The Hardy Billionaires Series If Shain Rose was my gateway drug to spicy reads, Between Commitment and Betrayal was the needle. I’ll be honest, cause that’s my thing, the Hardy family has a lot of copycat-fake-relationship-forced-proximity-enemies-to-lovers stuff going on, but I honestly don’t care. Are the storylines a bit unbelievable? Maybe, […]
Tarnished Empire
Hot Family Violence: Diving Back Into the Armanelli Universe Holy hotcakes, the Armanellis are fresh off the griddle. Again, heed those trigger warnings because this famiglia is violenta. I shouldn’t pick favorites, but if I did, it’d be a tossup between Dante and Cade. Like, I could read Corrupted Chaos over and over again. Which […]
New Reign Mafia Duet
Dark, Violent, and Obsessive: They’ll Burn the World Down (And I Support It) Rome and Katie, insert deep sigh. First of all, head the trigger warnings, things get violent. But also Kate-Bate is a badass. Another re-read because I simply didn’t get enough the first time around, these two will burn the world down and […]
Stonewood Brothers Series
Hot Summer Reads: Why The Stonewood Brothers Deserve a Reread I can’t be sure, but Shain Rose might have been my gateway drug to my spicy book addiction. Don’t get it twisted, these books come with trigger warnings and I did not give one single F. I actually read most of Shain Rose’s books a […]
Dream Harbor 2026
The Dream Harbor Series: Autumn-Worthy Reads and Literary Comfort Food Can books be delicious? I started reading the Dream Harbor series in 2025 at the recommendation of one of my besties. These are standalone books with character crossovers. They are cutesy and, in my opinion, get spicier the with each new character. They were all […]
Zodiac Academy 2026
Too Old for Teen Drama: My Love-Hate Relationship with Zodiac Academy This series tried to break me. One of my book buddies suggested reading the series in 2025, and had I not gotten pneumonia, I swear I would have finished! Well, maybe… Here’s the Heidi-honest-truth. If I hadn’t started with the Ruthless Boys prequel, I […]
Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig
It’s been a while… A lot has happened… My kids have gotten bigger, we have all grown older. My hair is in desperate need of a dye job. I have lost some friends, lost some family. We have gone on vacations and had wonderful holidays. Like everyone else, we have struggled and we have thrived. […]
I No Longer Share My Birthday With The Funniest Man Alive
Firstly, I would like to thank the families of Don Knotts, Robin Williams and Edward Herman (along with all the other celebrities that I never knew shared my special day). Thank you for sharing your father, your brother, your spouse. Thank you for allowing them to touch the lives of others, and for the influence […]
