Hello everyone, and welcome to the first bookish wrap up of 2022!
It was a great reading month for me. I managed to fit 24 books into my reading schedule. So let’s get to these books!
Series Catch-Up
Mason Creek Series
This month my main goal was to read and catch up with the Mason Creek Series. I’m loving the hell out of this small town series, and If you are a fan of small towns I highly recommend you get your hands on this series of standalones today! My heart continues to fall head over heels with every book I read.

Steele Brothers Series – Helen Hardt
This month I also read two books in the Steele Brothers series by Helen Hardt. I read Melt and Burn. I’m slowly, but surly, making my way through this series. Hopefully I can have it all read by the end of the year. So far, I’m really liking this series. There were a few moments I can do without, but Helen Hardt knows how to bring the suspense and knows how to keep her reader’s entertained through it all. I can’t wait to read more in the future!

A Few Re-Reads
This was a weird month for me, not only did I have a few personal issues going on, but I also had a strange urge to re-read a few series. I think I wanted something I knew I would enjoy to counteract the negative effects life was throwing my way. So I decide to re-read a few series I knew I loved.
The ‘Cuda Confessions Trilogy – Eden Connor
I first time I read The ‘Cuda Confessions Trilogy by Eden Connor was in 2016 and I knew this trilogy would be one of my go to re-reads when the time comes. I do have to say, this is the second… maybe third… time reading this trilogy, and I still loved it, but that love meter may have dropped a notch. The first time I read this series it was 5 stars all across the board, and now that rating has dropped to a four star. I felt there were quite a few moments that were rushed in this trilogy. I wanted more of an emotional connection and less of a sexual connection. I do have to say, i loved the forbidden and slightly taboo vibe Eden Connor brings to this trilogy… nothing has changed on that scale, I just wanted more of an emotional investment this time around.
MC Chronicles: The Diary Of Bink Cummings – Bink Cummings
Another go to re-read for me is the MC Chronicles: The Diary Of Bink Cummings series. If you love MC Romances and strong female leads, I highly suggest you pick up this series! I’ve read this series four times and each time I find something new. I love Bink Cummings journey towards finding love in the most unlikely places. I loved the age gap trope that led to some pretty strong forbidden vibes. This woman is as feisty as they come and I love how Bink isn’t afraid to dish back whatever is being served. The only issue I have, as I had with the other series I re-read this month, Is I felt like there were a serious amount of moments that were rushed. I wanted more from Bink and Big. The sexy times were scorching but I would have loved a bit of a slowdown. A tad bit more romance and little less heat. This year I plan on reading all of Bink Cummings novels! So I feel like I’m on my way in the right direction.
This month I also read the four short stories Bink Cummings added to the MC Chronicles.
Advanced Copies I Read
I only had one ARC in January! Holy hell, no wonder why I had so much time to re-read all these books… That ARC was Put Me In Detention by Meghan Quinn!. I love everything about Meghan Quinn’s novels. From her writing style to her wonderful world building and character interactions, there is never a dull moment. Meghan Quinn brought all the feels with Put Me In Detention. There were moments I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt and there were also moments that brought some serious tears to the surface. And this is one of the main reasons why i keep coming back to this author. She never lets me down! I loved this book so much! If you want to read my review you can check it out here!
