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

Review: The Bride Test by Helen Hoang
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
Review: Dark Illusion by Christine Feehan
Two Stars I was a little wary going into this book. I took a break from the Dark series for a while when things got weird with mages. The spells and magic and million rules really bog a story down for me. But I've loved the last few books in the series so I decided … Continue reading Review: Dark Illusion by Christine Feehan
Review: How to Love a Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne
4.5 Stars I think I need to start this review by pointing out that Kerrigan Byrne is a phenomenal writer. Phenomenal. One of the best in the business right now. Her descriptions in HOW TO LOVE A DUKE IN TEN DAYS blew me away. I was transported to a dark, gothic, late 1800s, and I … Continue reading Review: How to Love a Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne
Review: How to Catch a Wicked Viscount by Amy Rose Bennett
Four Stars I haven't been this surprised and delighted by a historical romance in a long time. HOW TO CATCH A WICKED VISCOUNT was fun, sexy, and thoroughly engaging. This is the first book in a series following four young debutantes in the aftermath of getting kicked out of their finishing school. Sophie, our heroine, … Continue reading Review: How to Catch a Wicked Viscount by Amy Rose Bennett
Review: Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center
3.5 Stars This was my first book by Katherine Center, and I'm glad I took a chance on THINGS YOU SAVE IN A FIRE. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Center's voice as an author. The story follows Cassie, a young and tough firefighter whose life is slowly cracking down the middle. It starts with a disaster … Continue reading Review: Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center
Review: Playing House by Ruby Lang
Three Stars I love picking up novellas by new-to-me authors. They give me a little taste of the author’s writing style, and novella-length stories are tough to write. PLAYING HOUSE is the first story in a new Ruby Lang series, and while I enjoyed it, I think the pacing of the story was off as … Continue reading Review: Playing House by Ruby Lang
Review: The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez
2.5 Stars This book didn't work for me, and that's okay! I think it's a case of "it's not you; it's me." I can see why so many people have fallen in love with Abby Jimenez's debut novel. Her style is light, witty, and imminently readable. For a debut, I really have no issues with … Continue reading Review: The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez
Review: The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai
Four Stars Dang it, Alisha Rai! She gets me every time. THE RIGHT SWIPE hit all the right notes; starting with one of my new favorite heroes, and ending with a beautifully complex, yet fast-paced romance novel. The story follows Rhiannon, a guarded dating app CEO and kick-butt girl boss, and Samson, my new book … Continue reading Review: The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai
Review: Lone Wolf Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Two Stars Until today, I've never finished a Maisey Yates book and thought, "well, thank goodness that's over." I discovered Ms. Yates' books last year, and since then, I've read a good portion of her backlist and all of her recent releases. Most of them were good, some of them were fantastic, but, unfortunately, LONE … Continue reading Review: Lone Wolf Cowboy by Maisey Yates
