New To Me Authors I Loved in 2025

New To Me Authors I Loved in 2025

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 6 Comments

This week, I’m sharing new to me authors that I loved reading in 2025. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I read quite a few new-to-me authors in 2025, and today I’m sharing the ones that I loved reading throughout the year. From dark romances to contemporary small towns. It was a great year, to be honest. So let’s get right into it, these are the new-to-me authors I loved reading in 2025.

Rina Kent: I read a lot of Rina Kent in 2025. About 30 of them. While these aren’t the best books in the world. I have a great time reading them. I’m finally up to the Gods series which I plan to read asap. I think I’ve liked the Monster Trilogy the most so far.
R.E. Bond: This is another author that I read a lot of in 2025. I was seeing her at a couple different events throughtout the year and just tried to read as many as I could. I think my favourite from all the books I read was either the The Night Thieves or The Heights.
Monty Jay: I only read one book from Monty Jay but I cannot wait to read more. Book 2 in the River Styx Heathens comes out this year and I cannot wait.
Victoria Wilder: I read all of the The Bourbon Boys in 2025 and just had a great time honestly. My type of contempoary romance for sure. Little bit of this, little bit of that, throw in some suspence and we are good to go.

Sable Sorensen: Direbound had been on my tbr for a while and I picked it up later in the year and loved it. It’s the type of romantasy that I enjoy reading and now I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
Rachel Reid: Well I think Rachel is going to end up on multiples peoples list, but like everyone else I started the Game Changes series late in 2025 and I adore it. It’s a queer ice hockey sports romance that is sexy, intense and addicting.
Jessica Peterson: I read Cash at the start of the year and had to read the rest of the Lucky River Ranch #1 as soon as I could. I am excited for the rest of the series as well as trying some of her others series as well.
Invi Wright: These authors books had caught my eye a little while ago, and I finally picked them his in 2025. I really enjoyed reading the The Female series. Such an interesting concept that really took me by surprise.

And there we go. Those are some of the new to me authors I read in 2025 and loved reading. Have you read any of these authors? What do you think? Are you planning on reading any of these authors? Let’s chat!

My Favourite Reads of 2025

Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 2 Comments

2025 was a pretty good year reading wise for me, and while I didn’t read as mnay books as I usually do. I still had a pretty good year. I read across so many romance genres last year and just had a great time. And while there wasn’t many 5-Star reads, I still had a pretty solid year and thought it was time to share some of my favourites.

From contemporary romance, to fantasy and dark romances, I read a little bit of everything in 2025 and I had a great time. I tried to keep this list small but it never really works that way. I also did try and keep it to one book per series, but a couple snuck though. So, let’s get into it. Here are on my 2025 favourites.

Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1) by Chloe Walsh. | All I Need (The Knights, #1) by E. Salvador. | Beautiful Exile (Sparrow Falls, #4) by Catherine Cowles. | Chasing Shelter (Sparrow Falls, #5) by Catherine Cowles.

Secret Haven (Sparrow Falls, #6) by Catherine Cowles.  | Slap Shot (D.C. Stars, #3) by Chelsea Curto. | Hat Trick (D.C. Stars, #4). | Cowboy Casual (The Calloway Ranch, #1) by Holly Renee.

On Guard (The Hastings, #2) by Kels Stone and Denise Stone. | Highest Point (The Hastings, #3) by Kels Stone and Denise Stone. | Heated Rivalry (Game Changers, #2) by Rachel Reid. | The Long Game (Game Changers, #6) by Rachel Reid.

Please Don’t Go by E. Salvador. | Wyatt (Lucky River Ranch, #2) by Jessica Peterson. | Bourbon & Lies (The Bourbon Boys, #1) by Victoria Wilder. | Learn Your Lesson (Kings of the Ice, #3) by Kandi Steiner.

The Prodigal Son (The Goode Brothers, #4) by Sara Cate. | Warrior Princess Assassin (Braided Fate, #1) by Brigid Kemmerer. | Dire Bound (The Wolves of Ruin, #1) by Sable Sorensen. | Onyx Storm (The Empyrean, #3) by Rebecca Yarros.

In The Dark by Chelsea Curto. | Wrath of an Exile (River Styx Heathens, #1) by Monty Jay.

There we go, those were my favourite reads in 2025. There was clearly a lot of contempoary and sports romance that made it on to here. But I am not surprised. What made it to your list? Did any of mine? What are you looking forward to reading in 2026? So, let’s chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
