Five Stars This was my second Maisey Yates novel, and I am officially impressed. I loved this book. It was a quick, one-sitting read for me packed with three-dimensional characters, emotional depth, and sexy romance. Oh, did I mention that it's a billionaire, cowboy, Christmas romance novel? Talk about checking all the fun subgenre boxes! … Continue reading Review: Want Me, Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Three Stars I'm going to put this out there: I don't think Jennifer Miller or Jason Feifer have ever read a romance novel. I didn't hate this book, it's a slightly satiric, social commentary on dating and sex in New York City. It's general fiction. Which is fine. Just please don't label it a romance … Continue reading Review: Mr. Nice Guy by Jennifer Miller and Jason Feifer
Three Stars THE ANGST. Oh dear lord, the angst. Why you gotta do me like that Marie?? There have been a few books I've read and thought, "these people need therapy." But Marie Force's is one of the first books I've seen where the heroine acknowledges how much she needs help and gets it. Thank … Continue reading Review: Five Years Gone by Marie Force
Two Stars TI desperately, desperately wanted to like this book. I have been a Samantha Young fan for years, and I usually think her books are the perfect balance of emotion and romance. Unfortunately, I was about a hairsbreadth away from DNFing this book for the majority of it. Only my curiosity about how Caleb … Continue reading Review: Fight or Flight by Samantha Young
Four Stars If you ask me, or many people in Romancelandia, what their absolute favorite rockstar romance series is, they're probably going to say the Stage Dive series by Kylie Scott then fangirl over their favorite band member (Team Jimmy over here). Strong is a novella starring Martha, sister of Ben from Stage Dive, and … Continue reading Review: Strong by Kylie Scott
To be honest, I went into Consumed not expecting to enjoy it. I know that Ward always writes a brutal and intense world, which works so well in paranormal romance. I wasn't sure how her writing style and dangerously damaged characters would translate to a contemporary setting. Of course, Ward proved me wrong. I loved … Continue reading Review: Consumed by J.R. Ward
Chasing Shadows follows a woman haunted by a violent attack and a man who just wants to be there for her. If you're a follower of Bybee's First Wives series, then you know that Avery, our heroine, was brutally beaten in the previous book. This novel takes place some time later after Avery is completely … Continue reading Review: Chasing Shadows by Catherine Bybee
Why should Young Adult novels corner the market on coming of age stories? This was an adult coming of age story for our heroine Naomi and I loved watching her journey to find herself. Let me just say, runaway brides are not my usual jam. There have been a select few I've truly enjoyed and … Continue reading Review: Runaway Girl by Tessa Bailey
The Good Luck Charm is the first romance novel I've recently read that felt more like a young/new adult novel when the characters were in their late twenties. That might not be a problem for many people. Like many second chance romance novels, the hero, NHL player Ethan, and the heroine, professional nurse and aspiring … Continue reading Review: The Good Luck Charm by Helena Hunting
I am not sure if I have the words to adequately express how much I loved Rebel Hard, but I am going to try. I'm still not over this book. I read this book in one amazing day and resented each and every time I needed to stop for things like food. It is absolutely … Continue reading Review: Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh
