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

4.5 Stars What a DELIGHT. ONE WISH is an adorable and sweet American West historical romance that put a smile on my face; it filled me with all the holiday warm and fuzzies. Our hero and heroine were childhood friends who reunite through a thwarted robbery. Maggie, our heroine, needs a place to lay low … Continue reading Review: One Wish by Jodi Thomas
4.5 Stars How does Mary Balogh get me to invest more of my emotions in a ten chapter novella than many authors do in a full novel? She's a magician, and the pen (or keyboard) is her wand. I'm sure of it. Mary Balogh novels are always chalked full of characters. SO many characters that … Continue reading Review: Someone to Remember by Mary Balogh
Four Stars Well, this was a delight! Reader be warned, this is two novellas set in the Mackenzie series world, and only the first story is new. The second novella was published previously. That didn't take away from my enjoyment in the least. Somehow, between books, I forget how much I love the crazy Mackenzie … Continue reading Review: A Mackenzie Clan Christmas by Jennifer Ashley
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. As always, Ms. Thomas knows how to wrap your heart up in a soft blanket to give you all the fuzzy feelings. She effortlessly writes multiple romances … Continue reading Review: Christmas in Winter Valley by Jodi Thomas
Five Stars I'm speechless. Well, okay, maybe not completely speechless, because I am writing this review. But this will probably be the shortest rave review I have ever written because there was a big cliffhanger at the end of ARCHANGEL'S PROPHECY, and I refuse to spoil any of ARCHANGEL'S WAR for readers of the series. … Continue reading Review: Archangel’s War by Nalini Singh
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
