Bearded Brothers - The Winston Brothers by Penny Reid
Welcome to Green Valley, Tennessee - the small town where everyone knows the 6 bearded Winston brothers with their charm, charisma, and penchant for trouble. In my opinion, these books are the best listened to via audiobook but I have read (& re-read) them in both ways. Just amazing! Though they are standalone, they are best read in order.
Rowdy Mafia Ladies - Brutal Birthright by Sophie Lark
Looking for some Mafia Romance with phenomenal characters, emotional stories, & rowdy AF leading ladies - this series is for you! All of them are in Kindle Unlimited and totally bingable. All of them are standalone so you can skip around if you prefer. If you end up loving them, read The Kingmakers series next.
Hockey Hotties - Pucked by Helena Hunting
This series is hysterical! It hits all the notes of a spicy rom com - humor, hot AF romance, plus some feels on the side. It follows a group of professional hockey players figure out how to woo a lady and all the situations they end up in. Seriously, so funny!!
