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
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
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
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

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
3.5 Stars Romantic suspense is one of my recent favorite subgenres. Since it's a newer fave, I am always on the hunt for new-to-me authors and series to fall in love with. DEADLY OBSESSION fit the bill, the first book in a new series about two families starting an elite private security firm. This story … Continue reading Review: Deadly Obsession by April Hunt
3.5 Stars I love historical western romances, and Linda Broday is quickly becoming my favorite author of the subgenre. SAVING THE MAIL ORDER BRIDE follows outlaw and former lawman Jack and his mail order bride Nora. They meet by happenstance in the same coach after Jack has been caught by the law. After the coach crashes, … Continue reading Review: Saving the Mail Order Bride by Linda Broday
