Apparently, I have a reputation

I've been doing really well at keeping my Netgalley requests under control.  I'm 100% caught up, with the next book not publishing until October.  (Which means I have two books I need to read next month, but that's more than doable.)

And then, I sit down to eat my soup (yes, I know, it's 105 outside and I'm eating soup...), and go through my email when I find an email from a publicist.  INVITING ME TO GET EARLY ACCESS TO RACHEL REID'S NEW HOCKEY ROMANCE.

I know, I know, I'm ridiculous, but I loved Time to Shine so much.  And while I still need to dive into her Game Changers series I AM SO EXCITED.  🤣

In the meantime, I need to get myself one of these.  (Also, one of these, too.)

Blurb:

After moving back to his hometown ten years ago, Riley Tuck thought he had left his major league hockey career—and his broken heart—far behind. But when an unexpected tragedy strikes, it brings ex-teammate and former best friend with benefits Adam Sheppard back into his life.

Coming to the small town of Avery River, Nova Scotia, might have been a mistake. Adam’s not sure he’ll ever win back Riley’s trust after the way they left things—and the attention he’s getting as a huge hockey star isn’t exactly helping. Yet the chemistry that crackles between them is undeniable, even now.

As Adam helps Riley navigate his grief, long-buried feelings start to resurface. But they’ll have to square off with their complicated past if they’re going to have a real shot at a new beginning.

And now I suppose I ought to get back to work.  Especially since like one person is going to care about this post.  😂

Happy Wednesday babies!

Well, she doesn't publish in hardcover so there's that also.

Ugh yeah same. I'd have to pay for any outside access. I know NYPL was offering free digital at one point, but I don't know if they still are.

Gotcha.

I just checked and it doesn't look like it, unless you live in New York state. Harris County (Houston), TX has one that's only like $35 or $40 a year and they have a huge catalogue.

Yeah I checked right after I said it. Must have been a pandemic thing.

I think that it was, they wanted to make sure people had access to books.

Yes, I think so.
