Sink or Swim

Shore Leave Book #2

by Annabeth Albert

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Annabeth Albert has set my heart to sail and this book was definitely set on the same course!

  

Calder Euler has the best luck with cards and his recent win has come with an extra surprise! While inspecting the cabin he won, Calder finds that this cabin come with another owner, Felix… and two young girls!


This isn’t going to be the party cabin he imagined! But soon Calder is dreaming of quiet nights at the cabin with Felix and attending children’s dance recitals… 


Maybe this consulate bachelor has finally found something worth staying ashore for!


I absolutely adored this opposites attract/ age gap romance! Calder and Felix made a perfect pairing!


As always, Carina Press delivers the happily ever after I crave! A cute read that I could not put down and totally recommend!


Sink or Swim by Annabeth Albert was released February 22nd, 2022.

Book Description


Winning and losing are subject to sexy interpretation…


Navy chief Calder Euler loves to win big. His latest score? A remote mountain cabin. Checking it out is supposed to be a quick trip, but Calder’s luck abruptly turns when a freak injury and a freakier snowstorm leave him stranded.


Oh, and the cabin isn’t empty. A silver fox caring for two young girls claims that the property is his, but Calder’s paperwork says otherwise.


Felix Sigurd is on a losing streak, and his ex-husband risking the cabin in a reckless bet is only the latest in a series of misfortunes. He’ll tolerate the handsome stranger for a couple nights--even care for his injuries—but that’s it.


Calder doesn’t know a damn thing about kids, but making pancakes for Felix’s girls is a surprising delight. Trapped in the cabin, the four of them slip easily into the rhythms of a family. But when the ice melts, they’ll have to decide if a future together is in the cards.


Carina Adores is home to highly romantic contemporary love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.

Court of the Vampire Queen

Court of the Vampire Queen (Omnibus rerelease of the Bloodline Vampires novella trilogy) by Katee Robert ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Robert’s is widely known for her storytelling mastery when it comes to polyamorous relationships and this one delivers! COTVQ organically adds members to the relationship in ways meaningful to the plot and that add to the relationship dynamic as a whole. This FMMM relationship is steamy as all get out, but also integral. I admit I came to this book for the heat, but the world creation and mission these vampires set out out on together kept me interested in between key to scenes. One of the highlights for me was meeting our favourite demon Azazel as he finds his monster brides!!! Overall, this book had tons of blood and bedroom activity ( often at the same time), but it was also a transformative story for our would-be queen, Mina. I loved seeing her come out of her shell and find her own power and strength through her sexuality. The sex positivity and freedom was...
