Four Stars Dang, Rebecca Zanetti knows how to end a series. I'm going to put it out there: No one writes action/adventure romance quite like Rebecca Zanetti. To be honest, in other action romance novels I sometimes end up skipping action sequences if they're too gratuitous or boring. I never have to do that in … Continue reading Review: Twisted Truths by Rebecca Zanetti
Three Stars Let me start off by saying, the premise of Beautiful Sinner by Sophie Jordan is my dream plot. Formerly chubby teen, Gabriella, comes back to her hometown and connects with recently exonerated Cruz, a bad boy with a heart of gold. The books in this series have all been hit or miss for … Continue reading Review: Beautiful Sinner by Sophie Jordan

Three Stars Earning Her Trust is the debut novel from author Adore Ian. The story follows college students Marrin and Damian as they navigate their relationship, friendships, and their rocky pasts.

Five Stars This was my second Maisey Yates novel, and I am officially impressed. I loved this book. It was a quick, one-sitting read for me packed with three-dimensional characters, emotional depth, and sexy romance. Oh, did I mention that it's a billionaire, cowboy, Christmas romance novel? Talk about checking all the fun subgenre boxes! … Continue reading Review: Want Me, Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Two Stars When I saw that debut author Kate Forrest had written a medieval romance, I knew I had to take a chance. The Crusader's Heart is romance set right after the Crusades (duh) in Scotland. I think there is a reason there is a void of medieval romances right now, and that's because they're … Continue reading Review: The Crusader’s Heart by Kate Forrest
Four Stars It has been a long time since I was excited about an anthology. When four of the reigning queens of historical romance decide to pair up, I was over the moon ready for these sweet novellas. I mean, a whole anthology featuring grouchy Dukes?? What's not to love! This book was the epitome … Continue reading Review: How the Dukes Stole Christmas by Tessa Dare, Sarah MacLean, Sophie Jordan, and Joanna Shupe
Three Stars I'm going to put this out there: I don't think Jennifer Miller or Jason Feifer have ever read a romance novel. I didn't hate this book, it's a slightly satiric, social commentary on dating and sex in New York City. It's general fiction. Which is fine. Just please don't label it a romance … Continue reading Review: Mr. Nice Guy by Jennifer Miller and Jason Feifer
Three Stars THE ANGST. Oh dear lord, the angst. Why you gotta do me like that Marie?? There have been a few books I've read and thought, "these people need therapy." But Marie Force's is one of the first books I've seen where the heroine acknowledges how much she needs help and gets it. Thank … Continue reading Review: Five Years Gone by Marie Force
Two Stars TI desperately, desperately wanted to like this book. I have been a Samantha Young fan for years, and I usually think her books are the perfect balance of emotion and romance. Unfortunately, I was about a hairsbreadth away from DNFing this book for the majority of it. Only my curiosity about how Caleb … Continue reading Review: Fight or Flight by Samantha Young
