Albin Academy #2

by Cole McCade

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


When a students extra curricular activities start affecting his health, coach Damon Lewis reaches out to the his polar opposite, My Falwell, the arts teacher. Mutual interest in their students welfare creates strange bedfellows!


As they grudgingly work together they soon find out that there is more than mutually animosity that sparks between them. Soon they discover they are more similar than they could have imagined and the sparks between them threaten to set them aflame!


I’m a big fan of Albin Academy and the interactions between the teachers and students. They are all fighting against the world until they discover that the family they all crave is right here at Albin!


Cole McCade does an excellent job at representing the different rings of society and finds their similarities in a way that makes the reading connect to the characters on a high level.


As always, Carina Press delivers the happily ever after I crave! An intriguing read that I totally recommend!

Book Description



Rian Falwell has a problem.


And his name is Damon Louis.


Rian's life as the art teacher to a gaggle of displaced boys at Albin Academy should be smooth sailing—until the stubborn, grouchy football coach comes into his world like a lightning strike and ignites a heated conflict that would leave them sworn enemies if not for a common goal.


A student in peril. A troubling secret. And two men who are polar opposites but must work together to protect their charges.


They shouldn't want each other. They shouldn't even like each other.


Yet as they fight to save a young man from the edge, they discover more than they thought possible about each other—and about themselves.


In the space between hatred, they find love.


And the lives they have always wanted…


Just like this.

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love!

Girls Before Earls Rogues to Lover, Book 1 by Anna Bennett ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 This was a fun and fast paced start to a new series!

And with the handful of girls enrolled and her assistant they have that connection … but a school can’t survive on care and respect.

My Contrary Mary

My Contrary Mary Voice Galley by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, & Jodi Meadows ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 What a fun treat to be back in the world of Verities and Eðians (shapeshifters)that readers were introduced to in My Lady Jane! In this re-telling of the story of Mary Queen of Scots, we are shown her life at court in France where she awaits to be married to her betrothed, the France Dauphin, Francis. Both Mary and Francy are nearly pawns in their elders plans, but they yearn for a time when they will be able to rule together and make a difference to their respective kingdoms.  Like the other Janite books before this, magic and comedy play a big role and make this story a lot of fun. The comedic references to modern movies were such a hoot to spot and decipher what movie they were from! This book went at a relatively quick pace and followed our teenage royalty as they attempt to find a way to rule in a divided world. The Verities and Eðians seem like a good representation of the Cat...
