Five Stars The first book in this series, DEADLY OBSESSION, was good, I enjoyed it. But LETHAL REDEMPTION blew me away! The suspense storyline (I'm a sucker for a cult-involved romantic suspense), the well-rounded characters, the sexual tension, the BANTER. I loved it. Brava, Ms. Hunt! This second chance romance, romantic suspense novel follows childhood … Continue reading Review: Lethal Redemption by April Hunt
Five Stars I can always count on Tessa Bailey to deliver heart, humor, and heat in her books and LOVE HER OR LOSE HER was no exception.

4.5 Stars Is there anything better than a bubbly and adorable heroine paired with a dangerous and brooding monosyllabic hero? I'll answer that question, NOPE. One of my all-time favorite pairings written to perfection by one of my top romantic suspense authors in RISK IT ALL. The book follows reluctant bounty hunter, Cara, and her … Continue reading Review: Risk It All by Katie Ruggle
Four Stars I love that we (finally) have a sensitive, well-researched romance novel starring a heroine living a relatively normal life with HIV. Honestly, it's about time. Brava Karen Rose for giving this book the love, research, and tone it deserves. This is the second romance novel I've read this year where one of the … Continue reading Review: Into the Dark by Karen Rose

Three Stars I've been a fan of this series since book one and been intrigued by the mysterious character that was Sasha just as long. Always in the background, always alone; basically she's Catwoman. But I had a hard time imagining how Ms. Bybee would make her seem like a real woman. After reading the … Continue reading Review: Say it Again by Catherine Bybee
Three Stars Jodi Thomas' 2018 holiday romance, MISTLETOE MIRACLES, was my favorite holiday romance of last year. So to say that I had high expectations is an understatement.

She effortlessly writes multiple romances … Continue reading Review: Christmas in Winter Valley by Jodi Thomas
Four Stars HIDDEN, the first book in Rebecca Zanetti's Deep Ops series, was one of my very favorite books of 2018. So to say that FALLEN was one of my most anticipated reads of 2019 is an extreme understatement. The series follows a ragtag group of operatives and Fallen is about Raider, a disgraced Fed, … Continue reading Review: Fallen by Rebecca Zanetti
Two Stars Listen, I know what I am getting when I open a Harlequin Presents novel: a fun, quick, fairytale-like romance. But because these are such quick stories, I expect the main couple, in this case, regular gal, Hannah, and Greek billionaire Leonidas, to have a lot of page time. Unfortunately, Hannah and Leonidas spent … Continue reading The Greek’s Billion-Dollar Baby by Clare Connelly
Four Stars After THE KISS QUOTIENT blew me away, I was nervous (to say the least) to start THE BRIDE TEST. I had seen the rave reviews and wanted to love it just as much as everyone else. And for the most part, I absolutely did. This book follows Khai, a man with autism, and … Continue reading Review: The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
