Review: First Comes Like by Alisha Rai

February 16, 2021Leave a comment

Four Stars Are you in the market for a slow burn romance starring one of the sweetest heroes I've read in a long time? OF COURSE YOU ARE. Alisha Rai somehow wrote a book that started with catfishing and made me like it. Magic. It helps that the hero wasn't the catfisher. Someone pretending to … Continue reading Review: First Comes Like by Alisha Rai

Review: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

February 10, 2021Leave a comment

4.5 Stars Only Mia Sosa can make me laugh and absolutely go with a trope that rarely works with me. The hero and love interest in THE WORST BEST MAN is the brother of the heroine’s former fiancé. It just gets weird for me if I think too hard about it! Lina and Max are … Continue reading Review: The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa

Review: Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay

February 5, 2021Leave a comment

Four Stars I was nervous going into LIKE LOVERS DO by Tracey Livesay. Friends to lovers is a hard trope to pull off in a romance novel. Readers want to see the chemistry between the characters, and I’ve found some friends to lovers books lack that spark. Well, let me assure you, Dr. Nicole Allen … Continue reading Review: Like Lovers Do by Tracey Livesay

Review: Ten Rules for Faking It by Sophie Sullivan

January 27, 2021Leave a comment

Three Stars It's been a while since I've thought, "this book would have been an easy four stars if it had been 100 pages shorter," but that's exactly how I felt about TEN RULE FOR FAKING IT by Sophie Sullivan. At 384 pages, it isn't THAT much longer than other contemporary romances I've read, but … Continue reading Review: Ten Rules for Faking It by Sophie Sullivan

Review: Flirting with Forever by Cara Bastone

January 26, 2021Leave a comment

Five Stars Dear Cara Bastone, thank you for writing one of my favorite books of 2021 in January. A heck of a way to kick off the year! FLIRTING WITH FOREVER, and I am not exaggerating, made me smile, swoon, and believe in love again. When I read the synopsis, I knew I would adore … Continue reading Review: Flirting with Forever by Cara Bastone

Review: Driven by Rebecca Zanetti

January 25, 2021Leave a comment

Five Stars I was so worried the relationship between Nari and Angus in DRIVEN wouldn’t live up to my expectations after three books of building sexual tension. I am happy to report that not only did Rebecca Zanetti meet my expectations, she also knocked them out of the park! Zanetti has been masterfully weaving the … Continue reading Review: Driven by Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Claiming the Rancher’s Heir by Maisey Yates

January 24, 2021Leave a comment

Four Stars Maisey Yates does enemies to lovers so, so well. It's just a fact! This book was about rival vineyard owners, Wren and Creed. Wren's family business has just gone through total upheaval after her father's misdeeds came to light. To continue developing the company brand, Wren needs to partner with Creed's family vineyard, … Continue reading Review: Claiming the Rancher’s Heir by Maisey Yates

Review: Tools of Engagement by Tessa Bailey

January 11, 2021Leave a comment

4.5 Stars Ummm, I loved this book. I don't miss sleep for many things, but I started TOOLS OF ENGAGEMENT right before bed, stayed up too late reading, then woke up early so I could finish before work. WORTH IT! If you've read the two previous standalone books in the series as I have, you've … Continue reading Review: Tools of Engagement by Tessa Bailey

Review: Dream Chaser by Kristen Ashley

December 15, 2020Leave a comment

Four Stars This series is classic Kristen Ashley: commandos, wacky heroines, over the top drama, and Colorado landmarks. I love it! DREAM CHASER was a fun addition to the series. Lots of your favorite characters make cameo appearances, but Ryn and Boone (the most KA names EVER) were definitely at the book's center. Ryn is … Continue reading Review: Dream Chaser by Kristen Ashley

Review: The Country Guesthouse by Robyn Carr

December 14, 2020December 14, 2020Leave a comment

2.5 Stars Robyn Carr's books are usually like warm hugs for me, warm and comforting. THE COUNTRY GUESTHOUSE felt like a one-armed hug, a little halfhearted. I still got some warm and fuzzy feels, but without the usual Carr magic. For some context, this is the fifth book in Robyn Carr’s Sullivan’s Crossing series, and … Continue reading Review: The Country Guesthouse by Robyn Carr
