Five Stars Gosh darn it! Cara Bastone has shattered all my longstanding, hard-won, romance preferences with her debut novel JUST A HEARTBEAT AWAY (debut, are you kidding me?? Skillz). Oh, you THINK you don't like widower/widow main characters because they make you sad? SIKE. You just assume you can't handle the main characters in a … Continue reading Review: Just a Heartbeat Away by Cara Bastone
Four Stars When I started this book, I really couldn't get into it. I was having a hard time connecting or sympathizing with the heroine, and I know that's a deal-breaker for me. So I put my ebook down for a few days and then picked up the audiobook. Thank goodness I gave this book … Continue reading Review: Say No More by Karen Rose
Four Stars Lori Foster is officially my favorite summertime author. I mean, she's good during all seasons, but I've been reading her summer release the last three years, and she has knocked it out of the park each and every time! In THE SOMERSET GIRLS, she explores the tight bond of sisterhood, unexpected love, and … Continue reading Review: The Somerset Girls by Lori Foster
Four Stars Consider me thoroughly charmed! Talia Hibbert has done it once again. By "it," I mean create a beautiful and diverse cast of characters that make my heart squeeze with happiness. This friends to lovers // fake dating story was just what I needed. Danika Brown is the snarky, bisexual queen of my dreams, … Continue reading Review: Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
2.5 Stars The Maximum Security series has been very hit or miss for me. THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL has broken that trend, mostly because this was the most "meh" romantic suspense book I've read recently. Jessie Kegan hires her deceased brother's best friend Brandon Garrett to help her solve the mystery of her father's death and … Continue reading Review: The Ultimate Betrayal by Kat Martin
Five Stars Anddd say hello to one of my top books of the year! I absolutely adored CONVENTIONALLY YOURS by Annabeth Albert. I had to read it twice before I could even get my heart-feels under control enough to write a more coherent review than "GAH I LOVE, LOVE." Although, fair warning, this review will … Continue reading Review: Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert
Three Stars I really thought this was going to be a Maisey Yates slam-dunk romance for me. I love it when she pairs the inexperienced and feisty heroine with an older and jaded hero. Unfortunately, this one ended up being just an okay read for me. Our heroine, Pansy (yes, that's really her name) was … Continue reading Review: The Bad Boy of Redemption Ranch by Maisey Yates
Two Stars I picked SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT up on a whim. It was on my TBR, of course, but I hadn't planned to read it the day I picked it up. I was actually going to just read a chapter or two to get a feel for Meryl Wilsner's writing style as a debut … Continue reading Review: Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner
Four Stars Nora Roberts is one of the best storytellers in the business, and HIDEAWAY is a prime example. This book was fascinating because it, in many ways, defied a genre. If I had to label it, I would call it a women's fiction with strong romance and suspense elements. The book focused on the … Continue reading Review: Hideaway by Nora Roberts
4.5 Stars I've been DYING for Wolfe’s book since the very start of this series, and of course, Rebecca Zanetti delivered for me! I mean, opening the book with Wolfe in leather pants?? Yes, please. Wolfe is the quirky, violent, tortured hero who has kept us laughing through each book in the Deep Ops series. … Continue reading Review: Broken by Rebecca Zanetti
