Three Stars Romantic suspense novels are my favorite treat. I love reading about a couple falling in love while bullets are flying and the adrenaline is *ahem* pumping. So I was really excited to start my first book by Piper J. Drake. FIERCE JUSTICE follows Jason, a repenting mercenary for hire, and Arin, a K9 handler … Continue reading Review: Fierce Justice by Piper J. Drake

Review: Lady Derring Takes a Lover by Julie Anne Long
Five Stars I am trying to find the right words to express why this book delighted me so much. LADY DERRING TAKES A LOVER took me by surprise because, honestly, I was dazzled, and that doesn't happen to me very often anymore, especially with the start of a new series. This was my first book by … Continue reading Review: Lady Derring Takes a Lover by Julie Anne Long
Review: Not the Duke’s Darling by Elizabeth Hoyt
Four Stars I don't think I can adequately express my excitement over the fact that Elizabeth Hoyt has started a new series. NOT THE DUKE'S DARLING wasn't only a unique and exciting romance, it was also a masterful groundlaying for what looks to be a fantastic new historical romance series. As always, Ms. Hoyt's ability to … Continue reading Review: Not the Duke’s Darling by Elizabeth Hoyt
Review: My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren
Three Stars I think I fell into the hole of, "I hope really great writing can make me get over a trope I hate." Please note, this does not work, or at least it didn't work for me while reading this book. That being said, I can see why Christina Lauren has so many fans. MY … Continue reading Review: My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren
Review: Crashing into Her by Mia Sosa
Five Stars I freaking adored this book. I couldn't put it down! I actually got on the wrong train during my morning commute because I was so engrossed in finishing this fabulous contemporary romance. Finally, a book that not only lightened my mood, but also added depth to a tough trope. Okay, well Mia Sosa actually … Continue reading Review: Crashing into Her by Mia Sosa
Review: Meant to Be by Alison Bliss
Four Stars What a refreshing change! This was my first experience with Alison Bliss' writing, and I am happy to say, it absolutely won't be my last. This is a very short novella about Sidney and Brett, a couple who broke up a year before and reunite over a flat tire. I love that Brett realized … Continue reading Review: Meant to Be by Alison Bliss
Review: The Last True Cowboy by Laura Drake
Two Stars Let me preface my review by saying, I do enjoy Laura Drake's writing style. The descriptions in this book were perfection and I loved reading about the characters in a small New Mexico town. But this plot just wasn't for me. At all. I was expecting a fun second chance romance and what I … Continue reading Review: The Last True Cowboy by Laura Drake
Review: Say You’re Sorry by Karen Rose
Four Stars Wow. What a roller coaster from beginning to end! I don't know how I've gone this long without reading a Karen Rose novel, but I am officially a fan. SAY YOU'RE SORRY is the first book in Ms. Rose's new Sacramento series. It's a wonderfully crafted romantic thriller following Daisy, a free spirit still … Continue reading Review: Say You’re Sorry by Karen Rose
Review: Cowboy Brave by Carolyn Brown
Three Stars After two attempts, I think I am tapping out on Carolyn Brown books. Clearly, something about her writing style just doesn't click for me. I liked this book's plot, a plus-sized heroine and a playboy, cowboy hero falling in love. The parts I liked: Justin is sweetly devoted to Emily. The setting is cute, … Continue reading Review: Cowboy Brave by Carolyn Brown
Review: Trailblazer by Anna Schmidt
Four Stars I'm going to be honest, I was a little hesitant with this book. I love historical western romances, but I worry when an author bases their book off an actual historical event or group of people, they will be more concerned about historical accuracy and details rather than the plot. Luckily, Anna Schmidt put … Continue reading Review: Trailblazer by Anna Schmidt
