Set in the world of the Italian Cosa Nostra , the Made series by Danielle Lori  revolves around powerful mafia families whose lives are governed by loyalty, bloodlines, arranged marriages, and violence. Every book features a different couple, but familiar characters reappear throughout the series, allowing readers to watch friendships, rivalries, and family dynamics continue to evolve. Reading in order gives the best experience, even though each romance stands on its own.  Some of the things that make this series stand out are-- 1. Morally grey and obessesive mafia men 2. Women who are strong and not willing to be controlled 3. Romance that is slow burn but has intense chemistry 4. Family loyality, and political alliances 5. High tension that is both emotional and dangerous 6.

  I am firmly in my hockey romance era. Give me grumpy defensemen, chaotic teammates, locker-room banter, fake dating, and someone falling hopelessly in love while pretending they are not. Of coursee all this gets bonus points if there are skates involved. Since June is Pride Month, I wanted to highlight some LGBTQ+ hockey romances that I think deserve more love. These books bring all the things I adore about the genre—heart, humor, found family, and plenty of swoony moments, while celebrating queer love on and off the ice. THE PUCKBOYS SERIES by Eden Finley and Saxon James This 10 book series features M/M  interconnected standalone stories set in the professional hockey world, where NHL players and those in their orbit navigate love alongside league pressures. From team rivals and teammates to PR managers, trainers, coaches, and team owners, these romances unfold against the backdrop of locker rooms, ice rinks, and the public scrutiny that comes with professional sports.

Started with a couple subscription book boxes that did redesigned dust covers and a solid sprayed edge. When they started a lot also included 3 to 5 goodies to go with such as, candles, bookmarks, teas, mugs and much more. Compared to now, with so many on the market and now publishers wanting in on the action and making them available to all.  We are going to deep dive into each subscription and give you all the details so that if you're looking for something specific this could help. How will these be broken down well let me tell you now. Cost, Quality/Design, Book Choices, Availability, Skip Policy, and Benefits.
