Author's Note

Paging Dr. VanRyan is a complete standalone contemporary romance — a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers medical romance with a wounded hero, a heroine who sees straight through him, and the guaranteed happily ever after you've come to expect from me. No cheating. No cliffhanger. Just two people who found each other at the wrong time and refused to let that be the end of the story.

My Review:

Moreland knows how to deliver an emotional romance filled with depth and steam and that’s exactly what we get in her latest release, Paging Dr. VanRyan.

At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Matthew VanRyan, an ER doctor who’s recently made the move from the big city to a small town in Victoria. With his busy schedule, Matthew doesn’t always have the time to visit his family, his work is important to him and so is the work ethic that his dad installed in him and his siblings. Everyone is very close, including his extended family. As the more reserved in the family, Matthew doesn’t open up to just anyone. Though he did inherited a sense of humor that has led him to be the prankster in the family. With his mom’s birthday coming up, he stops by a bakery to get cake. Only to come face-to-face with a beautiful woman who’s warmth makes him feel at ease. Something that Matthew has longed for ever since his last relationship didn’t end up the way he expected. Maddy understands him like no one else and he wants to make things work with her. Until she tells him that their time together might come to end sooner than they thought. Matthew is not one to give up that easily and he vows to make things work with her before it’s too late.

As a nursing student, Madison Tate, wants nothing more than to make a name for herself. Working for her aunt at Sugar and Spice is supposed to give her that chance to save money before she starts to soon. Maddy want’s expecting to meet Matthew in the process or develop strong feelings for him. It’s when she gets an offered that she can’t refuse that Maddy will have to make the ultimate decision between giving them a chance or risk losing Matthew forever.

I absolutely loved reading Paging Dr. VanRyan! I was thrilled when Moreland announced her new series featuring characters from one of my favorite series. This story had me captivated from the very beginning. It’s evident that Matthew really likes Maddy and wants to make things work between them. But just when their relationship was getting stablished, they find out that they might just have to make a long distance relationship work. That’s when things don’t go according to plan and they are forced to make a choice. We get to see them go through up and downs, while getting to know their families as well. I absolutely loved them journey and the ending was very sweet. I would highly recommend checking out this book as well any others by the author. You will not regret it!

Give Me Tonight by Jennifer Sucevic

Release Date: October 22, 2026
Series: Chicago Railers Hockey #6
Pages: 424
Genres: Romance, Sports, Contemporary

Waking up married in Vegas? Not exactly part of the plan.

Especially when the groom is Jax Wilder—Chicago Railers hockey star, shameless flirt, and the most infuriating man I’ve ever met.

I want an annulment.

He wants to stay married.

But with custody of my younger siblings on the line, a stable home—and a husband—might be exactly what I need to keep us together.

Jax offers me a deal: stay married, move into his penthouse, and let him help until everything is settled.

It’s only temporary.

Except Jax doesn’t just make room for me. He makes room for all of us.

And somewhere between family dinners, late nights, and sharing a bed with the husband I never wanted, our marriage starts feeling dangerously real.

Falling for my husband was never part of the plan. Neither was wanting to keep him.

Give Me Tonight is an enemies-to-lovers, Vegas wedding, pro hockey romance featuring a golden retriever hero who falls first—and a black cat heroine who’s spent her whole life standing on her own. He’s determined to prove he’s in it for the long haul… even if she’s terrified to believe him.

My Review:

Not having read any other books by the author before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading Give Me Tonight. Needless to say, I really enjoyed reading this marriage-of-convenience romance that will leave you rooting for the characters until the very end!

Sloane never imagined that she would be one day her sibling’s caretaker after their mom bailed on them at a very young age. Now she is juggling a lot of tasks while trying to taking care of her own responsibilities. With the pressure to do right by her siblings, Sloane wants to prove that she can provide for them. Even if it means putting her own needs aside. There is no time to date or let alone think about a certain hockey player. Jax Wilder has not only managed to get into her head, but after a wild night in Vegas, they end getting married. Changing Sloane’s life forever, now she has to figure out a way to get an annulment or figure out a way to make things work. As a successful hockey player, Jax Wilder knows what he wants and he wants to prove to her that they might just be right for each other before it’s too late.

I really enjoyed reading Give Me Tonight, the characters were sweet and relatable. From the very beginning, we get to see just how much her younger siblings depend on her. It’s something that she doesn’t take for granted. Working at Lakeshore Sweets while taking college classes, it’s clear that Sloane is taking her role a their caretaker seriously. So when her friends decide to throw her a birthday party in Vegas, she is hesitant to leave her siblings behind. Yet, everything changes when she gets married in Vegas and suddenly Jax wants to be there for her in every way. He understands her needs and for once he wants to take care of her and her siblings. Something that Sloane is not used to and we get to see her go through changes throughout the book. It’s when acceptance comes that she has to figure out what she wants or risk losing the only person hasn’t asked for anything in return. All in all, I would highly recommend checking out this book. I cannot wait to read more from the author in the future. :)

Falling for Love by Carly Phillips

Release Date: September 17, 2026

Series: Dare to Fall #2

Pages: 270

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Billionaire Romance · Surprise Pregnancy · One-Night Stand · Second Chance Love · Protective Alpha Hero · Scandal · Emotional & Sexy

I never meant to fall into bed with a stranger.

But the night I meet Jack Dare in Charleston, I stop thinking—and start wanting.

One look, one drink, one kiss—and I forget the rules I’m forced to live by. For one reckless night, I let myself breathe and allow myself to come undone.

But by morning, I’m gone.

Because if Jack knew who I really was—the ex-fiancée of a powerful man who still controls my life—he’d either walk away… or stay and get destroyed right along with me.

Two months later, I’m standing on his Miami doorstep with secrets. I’m pregnant and running from a man who’s bound to catch up with me.

That’s when I discover the kind of man Jack Dare really is.

He’s the man who fights for me. Who protects me. And refuses to let me go.

A sexy, emotional billionaire romance featuring a one-night stand, surprise pregnancy, second-chance love, a fiercely protective hero, and a love strong enough to stand up to power, scandal, and the past.

AVAILABLE NOW

My Review:

As the second book in the Dare to Fall Series, Phillips delivers a second chance romance in Falling for Love. This steamy one-night stand story will leave you rooting for the characters until the very end.

At the beginning of the book we are introduced to Jack Dare, a wealthy businessman who co-owns a successful nightclub in Miami with his friends. With the hopes of expanding, Jack finds himself in Charleston with the mission of finding the right spot. But he wasn’t expecting to meet a beautiful stranger at a cafe and for his life to completely take a different turn. It only took one night to cross the line of no return to come knocking two months later with a positive pregnancy test and a crazy ex to make him want to protect Taylor at any cost. He just needs to convince her that they might just be perfect for each other.

Having grown up among the wealthy of Charleston, Taylor Monroe, is used to rubbing shoulders with influential people. As the director of a community outreach for the charity her dad runs, Taylor’s job is to try to get as many donors to pledge for the charity. A job she does well and for that reason her ex-boyfriend, State Senator Chandler Cross took advantage as he got her to work with the donors on his campaign. But it all ended up becoming a mess and Taylor ultimately finds out just how corrupt her ex is. So when she meets Jack Dare at a cafe and he invites her to his hotel, Taylor doesn’t hesitate to say yes. There is instant chemistry between them and he is easy to talk to. She knows that there can’t ever be anything between them, not when her ex keeps blackmailing her. Yet, Taylor knows that she can turn to Jack when she finds out that their lives will forever be tied to one another.

I throughly enjoyed reading Falling for Love, the characters are magnetic and relatable. They are able to trust in each other and Taylor sees just how protective Jack is of her and the baby. Jack becomes her second chance in love and a new start which Taylor desperately needs. We get a bit of everything in this book, a scandal, suspense and a steamy romance worth adding this book to your TBR! :)
