Review: Cooper’s Charm by Lori Foster

July 30, 2018October 30, 20181 Comment

I think I've found my new favorite Lori Foster novel! I really enjoyed reading about Phoenix and her sister Ridley as well as the quirky cast of characters that popped up at Cooper's Charm lake/camp. It was also set in Ohio which always means bonus points from this Ohio native! Let me just say, I've … Continue reading Review: Cooper’s Charm by Lori Foster

Review: Half Empty by Catherine Bybee

July 10, 2018October 30, 2018Leave a comment

**3.5** Why hasn't Catherine Bybee written a high octane Hollywood movie script yet? I think this would make a great summer blockbuster. Half Empty started out as a sweet, slow-burn novel and ended with way more action and adventure than I was expecting. The heroine, Trina, was coming back from an open ended Italian vacation … Continue reading Review: Half Empty by Catherine Bybee

Review: Fight for You by Nina Crespo

July 6, 2018October 30, 20181 Comment

When I think second chance romance, I go in expecting wrenching emotions and young love torn asunder. From the summary we are told that Aiden betrayed his first love, Delanie and they meet by chance through a work negotiation. I was excited to see how these workaholic enemies would overcome their tumultuous past. Unfortunately, the … Continue reading Review: Fight for You by Nina Crespo

Review: I Think I Love You by Lauren Layne

July 5, 2018October 30, 2018Leave a comment

You can't see my goofy grin through the screen, but trust me it's there. Reading a Lauren Layne novel is like eating a truly rich dessert with a whipped cream topping. Her books are decedent with a touch of whimsy. I Think I Love You is Ms. Layne's finale to the Oxford series and really … Continue reading Review: I Think I Love You by Lauren Layne

Review: Off the Grid by Monica McCarty

July 4, 2018October 30, 20181 Comment

I wanted to love this book. One of my favorite summer subgenres is romantic suspense and this book seemed like it would hit all my favorite buttons: best friend's sister, sexy SEALs, suspenseful plot line. Unfortunately, the relationships fell a little flat for me. I didn't hate this book. It had some real potential. Ms. … Continue reading Review: Off the Grid by Monica McCarty

Review: Devoted to Pleasure by Shayla Black

July 3, 2018October 30, 2018Leave a comment

I didn't know I was waiting on the perfect sweet, yet sexy bodyguard romance but then I picked up Devoted to Pleasure and it was everything I needed. I've only read a few Shayla Black novels and they were all deeply erotic. Devoted to Pleasure is a turn to the more tradition contemporary but in … Continue reading Review: Devoted to Pleasure by Shayla Black

Review: Tempting the Laird by Julia London

July 1, 2018October 30, 2018Leave a comment

This was my first Julia London book and I can't say it will be my last, but I was disappointed by the execution of this romance. Immediately I was intrigued by a heroine in her 30s and a hero in his 40s. I enjoy reading about mature main characters especially historical romance. Our hero, Hamlin, … Continue reading Review: Tempting the Laird by Julia London
