Review: New Orleans Rush by Kelly Siskind

April 24, 2019Leave a comment

Three Stars I wasn't really sure what to expect when I started reading NEW ORLEANS RUSH. It was my first book by Kelly Siskind, but the cute cover and synopsis were irresistible. For the most part, this book charmed me with its zany humor, quirky characters, and snappy dialogue. I definitely think you have to … Continue reading Review: New Orleans Rush by Kelly Siskind

Review: Unbroken Cowboy by Maisey Yates

April 23, 20191 Comment

Four Stars I was a little apprehensive about this book going in. I'm always a little leery when the heroine has been in love with the hero basically her whole life. And Beatrix HAS been in love with Dane her whole life. Now he is recovering from a bull riding accident and she helping to … Continue reading Review: Unbroken Cowboy by Maisey Yates

Review: I Want You Back by Lorelei James

April 2, 2019April 2, 2019Leave a comment

4.5 Stars Romantic. Emotional. Fascinating. Realistic. Compelling. Engrossing. I could go on and on about how much I loved I WANT YOU BACK by Lorelei James. Fans of her Need You series have been dying for the resolution of this storyline for years, and Ms. James delivers in a big way. The first book in … Continue reading Review: I Want You Back by Lorelei James

Review: Down & Dirty by Rhenna Morgan

March 22, 2019Leave a comment

3.5 Stars In the age of A Star is Born and DAISY JONES & THE SIX, I was excited to jump into a book about an up and coming female rockstar. Down & Dirty was a fun rockstar romance that kept me invested from page one. This was my first book by Rhenna Morgan and … Continue reading Review: Down & Dirty by Rhenna Morgan

Review: Can’t Escape Love by Alyssa Cole

March 19, 2019Leave a comment

4.5 Stars I didn't know for sure until I read this novella, but this was the story I needed in 2019. CAN'T ESCAPE LOVE is novella gold and as soon as I got to "the end" I wanted to start it all over again so I could relive the warm fuzzies. I think we all … Continue reading Review: Can’t Escape Love by Alyssa Cole

Review: Heat Stroke by Tessa Bailey

March 18, 20191 Comment

Five Stars As soon as I was finished with MOUTH TO MOUTH (the first book in the Beach Kingdom series) I knew I needed Jamie Prince's story immediately. A good Tessa Bailey novel is like eating a rich dessert: it's delicious so you try to savor it, and it leaves you with a sugar high. … Continue reading Review: Heat Stroke by Tessa Bailey

Review: Faking Forever by Catherine Bybee

March 11, 2019March 18, 2019Leave a comment

Four Stars I knew there was a reason I am always dying for the next Catherine Bybee novel. Dang, she's a dynamite author! FAKING FOREVER had me staying up way too late on a work day and grinning from ear to ear by the end. When is the next book coming out?? I need it! To … Continue reading Review: Faking Forever by Catherine Bybee

Review: Stroke of Luck by B.J. Daniels

March 6, 2019Leave a comment

Two Stars I would honestly hesitate to call this book a romance novel. It was more like a classic "whodunit" mystery with a second chance romance subplot. I like mysteries and some thrillers. But when I pick up a romantic suspense novel, I always expect the romance to come before the suspense, or at least … Continue reading Review: Stroke of Luck by B.J. Daniels

Review: Fierce Justice by Piper J. Drake

February 27, 20191 Comment

Three Stars Romantic suspense novels are my favorite treat. I love reading about a couple falling in love while bullets are flying and the adrenaline is *ahem* pumping. So I was really excited to start my first book by Piper J. Drake. FIERCE JUSTICE follows Jason, a repenting mercenary for hire, and Arin, a K9 handler … Continue reading Review: Fierce Justice by Piper J. Drake

Review: My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren

February 21, 20191 Comment

Three Stars I think I fell into the hole of, "I hope really great writing can make me get over a trope I hate." Please note, this does not work, or at least it didn't work for me while reading this book. That being said, I can see why Christina Lauren has so many fans. MY … Continue reading Review: My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren

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!
