    SOUNDTRACK: Danger by Olivia Dean

    September 1, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Shifter Scoundrels: Dangerous by Charlie Cochet & Macy Blake

    Danger by Olivia Dean for a book about a royal spy and a sassy human unexpectedly finding love in an arranged marriage.

    Why suddenly would I rather be with you than anyone?
    Why do I feel like the world is ending too?

    It looks like I’m in danger
    Whenever I look in your eyes
    It’s strange, but I don’t see us saying goodbye
    So I’ll let you move in closer
    I want you too, I know there’s danger
    But I want your love to be mine

    Soundtrack to West Coast Forensics: The Real Thing by Elle Keaton

    The Real Thing by Three Legged Fox for a book about a shining prince who always falls for ogres and the battered knight who always comes to save him.

    I don’t care about what he said she said
    I don’t care who’s going out with you
    I don’t care what you did last weekend
    I don’t care what they pretend to do

    Let’s go back…
    Together, but a little off track
    A moment’s always gone too fast
    Dancing undercover
    Middle of summer
    Like when you were younger

    Break the Rules by Ruen Brothers for a book about breaking the rules of one-night stands and finding the one who stayed.

    Been a minute
    Since we’ve been here

    I need a friend
    Oh, it’s nice to spend time with you
    We’ve been waiting and watching
    Waiting for our hearts to take the stage
    See the lights
    Oh, it feels right
    Right next to you
    And oh, how our hearts hold wonder

    August 11, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Puzzle For Two by Josh Lanyon

    Puzzle Pieces by Tiger Trap for a book about a clueless detective who realized his biggest rival is the missing piece in his life.

    One, two, three, four

    Nothing fits, forget the rest
    ‘Cause I know you fit me the best
    How was I to have even known
    When I first heard you on the phone
    That you would be my perfect fit
    I don’t know what to do with it
    ‘Cause your piece goes with mine alone
    Now I know where corners go

    …When I saw you standing there
    I didn’t know you’d ever care
    I didn’t know we’d talk at night
    I didn’t know you’d hold me tight

    August 4, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Radiance: The Necromancer’s Light by Tavia Lark

    Sunshine by Teenage Wrist for a book about righting past mistakes and sharing comfort when you can.

    Bless your calloused heart
    But I live to beg your pardon
    Flash that tired smile
    And lay me in your devil’s garden

    Feel a little sunshine
    In spite of your past lives
    And if it feels right
    Give a little of what you got away
    Give a little of what you got away

    I can’t say for sure
    But we’re not who we were before this

    Soundtrack: Roaring Twenties Magic: Proper Scoundrels by Allie Therin

    Before You Came by Autoheart for a book about two wounded disparate souls who discover they can help each other heal.

    A white light continues
    To shine bright within you
    If I could, then I would
    Do anything to make good

    …

    On the day before you came
    Every view I ever saw was never good enough
    There was little in my life that I was proud of

    Did you know before you came?
    I was selfish, I was horrible most of the time
    I was thinking of myself, ignoring all the signs

    On the day before you came
    My priorities were muddled and I didn’t care
    I didn’t care

    Soundtrack to Monstrous: Gloam by Lily Mayne

    Run Wild by John Tibbs for a book about a captive lion and the pure-hearted boy who came out of nowhere to set him free.

    Finding out
    That there’s no escaping
    This pain I found
    Is a war that’s raging

    Will you turn it around
    Cause I need saving
    Do you hear the sound
    Of a heart that’s aching

    Here I stand
    I surrender it all
    Run wild
    Run wild in my soul
    With love
    Set a fire to the cold

    Honest by Band of Skulls for a book about a young man with secrets taking on a grizzled old soldier with a closely guarded heart.

    You gotta be honest
    You gotta be guarded
    Sure I’m gonna say
    Right on the inside, that is the hardest, the hardest game to play.
    You sorted it all out and managed to slip through the night into the day.
    Life and the soul do you ever get lonely?
    I’m goin’ take you on.

    Move Me by Half Alive for a book about a bad boy, a good boy, mutual pining, a reunion and a redemption.

    Inever told, You never asked
    ‘Til I got older, I kept it wrapped
    You had me open up my past
    I came to notice what I want so bad

    You know I wanna live too fast and die too young
    It ain’t that bad, just don’t look up
    I found my path, is that enough?
    While I was gettin’ used to what I thought was love
    You made me laugh, I came undone
    ‘Cause all I had was not enough
