Review: Get a Life Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

April 25, 20203 Comments

Five Stars I had high expectations diving into GET A LIFE, CHLOE BROWN, and I happy to report, I absolutely LOVED the book! I grinned, laughed, and felt all the feels while reading. Chloe and Red felt fresh and new and achingly familiar at the same time. Both characters were so wholly unique and well … Continue reading Review: Get a Life Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

Review: His to Defend by Rhenna Morgan

April 21, 2020Leave a comment

Four Stars I didn't know I needed a semi-dark mafia romance set in New Orleans in my life, but luckily, Rhenna Morgan knew! HIS TO DEFEND was a BLAST to read! The first book in a new series, the book follows a Russian mafia boss hero and he helps the single mom/local NOLA darling after … Continue reading Review: His to Defend by Rhenna Morgan

Review: Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr

April 20, 2020April 20, 20202 Comments

Two Stars As a big Robyn Carr fan, it pains me to write this review, but I disliked SUNRISE ON HALF MOON BAY so much, I was a breath away from throwing the book across the room at points. I've read upwards of 30 RC novels previously, and none of them have hit such a … Continue reading Review: Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr

Review: Sweet Talkin’ Lover by Tracey Livesay

April 16, 2020April 16, 2020Leave a comment

Four Stars Going into this book, I thought it was just going to be another small-town romance. Enjoyable, but nothing too special. Well, I didn't take into consideration what a fantastic author can do with a well-used plotline. Tracey Livesay made the "big city girl coming to the small town" trope seem more fun and … Continue reading Review: Sweet Talkin’ Lover by Tracey Livesay

Review: From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

April 15, 20202 Comments

Four Stars Well, this book was an absolute delight! I could barely put it down. I found myself sneaking pages on lunch breaks and getting up early to get a few chapters in. All readers know, that's the sign of an excellent book! As a self-proclaimed romance aficionado, I am ashamed to say that this … Continue reading Review: From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Review: Marriage on Madison Avenue by Lauren Layne

April 14, 2020Leave a comment

Four Stars This book was like drinking a glass of champagne, bubbly, fun and intoxicating. Friends to lovers is a difficult challenge for most authors, especially when the main characters both have each other as firmly in the "friend-zone" as Audrey and Clarke. Throughout the first two books, readers witnessed their easy banter and genuine … Continue reading Review: Marriage on Madison Avenue by Lauren Layne

Review: Love on Lexington Avenue by Lauren Layne

April 13, 2020Leave a comment

4.5 Stars A gruff and grumpy hero jaded to love and a widow who is still dealing with the complicated aftermath of her crappy husband's death, both stuck together through a home renovation project in NYC?? Um. Yes please. I've read almost every single book Lauren Layne has ever written and she still manages to … Continue reading Review: Love on Lexington Avenue by Lauren Layne

Pivot by Kat Martin, Alexandra Ivy, and Rebecca Zanetti

April 10, 2020April 10, 2020Leave a comment

2.5 Stars Three titans of romantic suspense pairing up to create an anthology of all new novellas? I was over the moon excited for this book! Sadly, this anthology fell flat for me. I think the hardest part was KNOWING all three of these ladies can write a better story. All three of these novellas … Continue reading Pivot by Kat Martin, Alexandra Ivy, and Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Vendetta Road by Christine Feehan

April 9, 2020Leave a comment

Five Stars I have read almost every single Christine Feehan novel and I can definitively say, this is her most erotic book to date, and she has written some very sexy ones in her time. Whew! That said, this book won't be for everyone. It's very low angst and leans heavily on instalove. As an … Continue reading Review: Vendetta Road by Christine Feehan

Review: Cowboy Christmas Redemption by Maisey Yates

April 7, 2020Leave a comment

Three Stars Only my favorite cowboy romance author could get me to touch this trope with a ten foot pole. I really dislike the "best friend or brother's widow" trope. It's so hard for me to invest in a new couple when the heroine's first love is dead. It goes against my little happily ever … Continue reading Review: Cowboy Christmas Redemption by Maisey Yates

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!
