BROOKLYNAIRE BY SARINA BOWEN | 4 star Review

ARC provided by the author's publicist for review The hero in Sarina Bowen's latest, Brooklynaire, is not your typical romance billionaire. Nate Kattenberger is not a type-A control freak, and you’re more likely to find him in a black hoodie than a bespoke suit. Granted, he may be wearing $800 sneakers. Though Nate made his…

Pipe Dreams by Sarina Bowen (Brooklyn Bruisers #3) | Review

**ARC provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review** Pipe Dreams weaves hockey with heartbreak and hope, but can it deliver the hat-trick with a happily ever after?
