Three Stars This book was... fine. I wish I had more to say about it. Olivia Dade is undoubtedly an excellent writer, but I just haven't found the right book in her backlist to click with me. ALL THE FEELS is a Hollywood romance featuring a misbehaving actor and the woman hired by the studio … Continue reading Review: All the Feels by Olivia Dade

Review: A Madness of Sunshine by Nalini Singh
4.5 Stars I wasn’t sure what to expect going into Nalini Singh’s first thriller, but I should have known I would absolutely love it. At this point, if she asked me if I would like to read her grocery list, I would say, “I adore groceries,” and read happily. While A MADNESS OF SUNSHINE is … Continue reading Review: A Madness of Sunshine by Nalini Singh
Review: How to Find a Princess by Alyssa Cole
Two Stars I didn’t know Alyssa Cole could write a boring book, but I am very sad to be proven wrong with HOW TO FIND A PRINCESS. Now, I love her, but no author is perfect, and this book just didn’t work for me – it might work for someone else! As always, Cole’s main … Continue reading Review: How to Find a Princess by Alyssa Cole
Review: Much Ado About You by Samantha Young
Two Stars I am a big fan of Samantha Young, and MUCH ADO ABOUT YOU sounded like a "me" book. A single woman burned by love and fed up with dating heads to England to run a bookstore? Yes, please! Sadly, the execution didn't work for me in any way. Now, if you've read a … Continue reading Review: Much Ado About You by Samantha Young
Review: The True Cowboy of Sunset Ridge by Maisey Yates
3.5 Stars I usually love or hate Maisey Yates books, so I am surprised this one fell somewhere in the middle for me. Ultimately, I enjoyed the story - Mallory and Colt have a one-night stand, and then fate keeps throwing them in each other's orbit... oh, and then a baby enters the mix (not … Continue reading Review: The True Cowboy of Sunset Ridge by Maisey Yates
Review: Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall
Four Stars I had a hard time rating this book, but Alexis Hall's writing is so dang good, I just can't give ROSALINE PALMER TAKE THE CAKE anything less than four stars. I am so, so happy I was warned that this book was more general/women's fiction than romance. I set my expectations accordingly, and … Continue reading Review: Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall
Review: The Duke is But a Dream by Anna Bennett
Two Stars I wanted to like this book. I tried REALLY hard to like this book. It had just about every trope I enjoy in historical romance; I should have loved it - but I just couldn't get past all the ridiculous plot elements, the rose-colored glasses fictional world, and the inconsistent characterization. I honestly … Continue reading Review: The Duke is But a Dream by Anna Bennett
Review: Rancher’s Christmas Storm by Maisey Yates
Two Stars Overall, I think Maisey Yates is one of the best Harlequin Desire authors writing for their line right now. She's excellent at creating three-dimensional, emotional, flawed characters with a relatively well fleshed out romance within the tight page restraints - a super skill if you ask me! RANCHER'S CHRISTMAS STORM was a classic … Continue reading Review: Rancher’s Christmas Storm by Maisey Yates
Review: Battle Royal by Lucy Parker
Five Stars Please believe me when I tell you this is one of the most delightful books I have ever read. Funny, cute, unexpected, and adorably romantic, BATTLE ROYAL by Lucy Parker exceeded all my rom-com hopes and dreams! If you don’t know by now, a starchy, uptight character paired with a fun-loving, chaos demon … Continue reading Review: Battle Royal by Lucy Parker
Review: Lucky Leap Day by Ann Marie Walker
1.5 Stars I am giving this book half a star because it started out so promising! LUCKY LEAP DAY is my first book by Ann Marie Walker, so I went in blind hoping for the best. Our heroine was recently dumped by a cheating boyfriend and decided to take their trip for two to Dublin, … Continue reading Review: Lucky Leap Day by Ann Marie Walker
