Review: Virgin River by Robyn Carr

October 6, 20202 Comments

Four Stars It's been a few years since I read VIRGIN RIVER, so when I received an opportunity to reread and review the book, I jumped at the chance. How could I forget how much I love this series? Sure, I adore the Netflix series, but the book is also wonderful! Reading Jack and Mel's … Continue reading Review: Virgin River by Robyn Carr

Review: Before Nightfall by Kat Martin

September 28, 2020October 1, 2020Leave a comment

Three Stars A quick novella filler in Kat Martin's high octane Maximum Security series, BEFORE NIGHTFALL is a nice bite of a book with some fun insta-love and pulse-pounding action scenes. I really liked our hero, Colt. His eye patch was sexy and I loved that he treated the heroine, Lissa, with the professional respect … Continue reading Review: Before Nightfall by Kat Martin

Review: Just a Heartbeat Away by Cara Bastone

September 16, 2020Leave a comment

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

Review: Say No More by Karen Rose

September 11, 2020September 11, 20201 Comment

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

Review: The Somerset Girls by Lori Foster

September 4, 20201 Comment

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

Review: Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

August 25, 2020Leave a comment

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

Review: The Ultimate Betrayal by Kat Martin

August 10, 2020Leave a comment

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

Review: Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert

August 3, 2020August 3, 20201 Comment

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

Review: The Bad Boy of Redemption Ranch by Maisey Yates

June 23, 2020June 23, 2020Leave a comment

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

Review: Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner

May 28, 2020Leave a comment

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

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!
