4.5 Stars I think I need to start this review by pointing out that Kerrigan Byrne is a phenomenal writer. Phenomenal. One of the best in the business right now. Her descriptions in HOW TO LOVE A DUKE IN TEN DAYS blew me away. I was transported to a dark, gothic, late 1800s, and I … Continue reading Review: How to Love a Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne
Four Stars I haven't been this surprised and delighted by a historical romance in a long time. HOW TO CATCH A WICKED VISCOUNT was fun, sexy, and thoroughly engaging. This is the first book in a series following four young debutantes in the aftermath of getting kicked out of their finishing school. Sophie, our heroine, … Continue reading Review: How to Catch a Wicked Viscount by Amy Rose Bennett
2.5 Stars SHADOWS AT DAWN by Kat Martin is a quick work place and romantic suspense novella. The book starts off with a bang when our heroine, Mindy, is almost kidnapped. Luckily, she is saved by her office crush, the former SEAL and current private detective, Jax. This plot was a tall order for a … Continue reading Review: Shadows at Dawn by Kat Martin

The story follows Cassie, a young and tough firefighter whose life is slowly cracking down the middle. It starts with a disaster … Continue reading Review: Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center

PLAYING HOUSE is the first story in a new Ruby Lang series, and while I enjoyed it, I think the pacing of the story was off as … Continue reading Review: Playing House by Ruby Lang
2.5 Stars This book didn't work for me, and that's okay! I think it's a case of "it's not you; it's me." I can see why so many people have fallen in love with Abby Jimenez's debut novel. Her style is light, witty, and imminently readable. For a debut, I really have no issues with … Continue reading Review: The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez
Four Stars Dang it, Alisha Rai! She gets me every time. THE RIGHT SWIPE hit all the right notes; starting with one of my new favorite heroes, and ending with a beautifully complex, yet fast-paced romance novel. The story follows Rhiannon, a guarded dating app CEO and kick-butt girl boss, and Samson, my new book … Continue reading Review: The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai
Two Stars Until today, I've never finished a Maisey Yates book and thought, "well, thank goodness that's over." I discovered Ms. Yates' books last year, and since then, I've read a good portion of her backlist and all of her recent releases. Most of them were good, some of them were fantastic, but, unfortunately, LONE … Continue reading Review: Lone Wolf Cowboy by Maisey Yates
