Review: Passion on Park Avenue by Lauren Layne

May 29, 2019June 3, 2019Leave a comment

Three Stars As a self-proclaimed Lauren Layne superfan, I was really looking forward to the start of a fun new NYC-set romance series from LL. I knew going into the book that this would be a sweet romance with fade-to-black sex scenes, so I tried to temper my expectations accordingly. The story follows Oliver, a … Continue reading Review: Passion on Park Avenue by Lauren Layne

Review: Unbroken by Jay Crownover

Four Stars I think part of the reason I ended up liking this novella, is because I really didn't enjoy the first 10%. I had no interest in a hero who has ruined his life through addiction and self-pity. Plus the opening scene in this book is super graphic. Those things combined with Ms. Crownover … Continue reading Review: Unbroken by Jay Crownover

Review: The Cowboy and His Baby by Jessica Clare

May 6, 2019Leave a comment

Two Stars This book was a little bit like a bad Hallmark movie for me, not a regular Hallmark movie (which, I happen to enjoy), but one that has all the right elements but just falls flat. The premise of a playboy cowboy and a movie dog trainer was giving me all the right feels … Continue reading Review: The Cowboy and His Baby by Jessica Clare

Review: No Other Duke but You by Valerie Bowman

May 3, 2019Leave a comment

Three Stars It's been a while since I finished a book and thought, "well that could have been a novella." I am a big Valerie Bowman fan and I was excited for the next book in her Playful Brides series. They're usually fun and lighthearted. Unfortunately, this book tipped into the over the top and … Continue reading Review: No Other Duke but You by Valerie Bowman

Review: Taken by Rebecca Zanetti

3.5 Stars Ah, the curse of the short novella. I adore Rebecca Zanetti. ADORE. The first book in this series was a whole-hearted five star read. HIDDEN was actually one of my very favorite books of 2018. So I had high expectations going into TAKEN, especially because I have read, and loved, many of RZ's novellas … Continue reading Review: Taken by Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Anything But A Duke by Christy Carlyle

May 1, 20191 Comment

Two Stars This was my first Christy Carlyle novel and I have to be honest, I was completely pulled in by the stunning cover and fun synopsis. Diana, our heroine, is an impoverished inventor looking to save her family by acquiring an investor for one of her creations. Aidan is a self-made man and investor … Continue reading Review: Anything But A Duke by Christy Carlyle

Hi Romance Peeps! My name is Teresa and I am a self-proclaimed romance aficionado with a BA in English and PR. My “real” job involves a grab bag of communications and community relations for a large nonprofit in the DC area. I probably read 5-7 romance novels a week. I take grave exception to people calling romance novels “smut” or “trash”. My #1 romance novel of all time forever and ever amen is “Dreaming of You” by Queen Lisa Kleypas. Read my posts to learn more about me, but mostly to hear my thoughts about romance novels new and old. Love you all!
