3.5 Stars What would we call this trope? The reverse secret baby trope? Idk but it was a unique premise that I enjoyed! One of the best parts of any Sophie Jordan novel is how readable her writing is. I would sit down with THIS SCOT OF MINE, and before I knew it, I was … Continue reading Review: This Scot of Mine by Sophie Jordan
Four Stars I knew there was a reason I am always dying for the next Catherine Bybee novel. Dang, she's a dynamite author! FAKING FOREVER had me staying up way too late on a work day and grinning from ear to ear by the end. When is the next book coming out?? I need it! To … Continue reading Review: Faking Forever by Catherine Bybee
Two Stars I would honestly hesitate to call this book a romance novel. It was more like a classic "whodunit" mystery with a second chance romance subplot. I like mysteries and some thrillers. But when I pick up a romantic suspense novel, I always expect the romance to come before the suspense, or at least … Continue reading Review: Stroke of Luck by B.J. Daniels
Three Stars Man, I was really hoping I would enjoy this book more than I did. For a while, in the middle of the book, I really thought this was going to be a four star read, but the convoluted beginning and mess of a climax pushed this book into the, "it should have been great, … Continue reading Review: Day of the Dragon by Katie MacAlister
Three Stars Romantic suspense novels are my favorite treat. I love reading about a couple falling in love while bullets are flying and the adrenaline is *ahem* pumping. So I was really excited to start my first book by Piper J. Drake. FIERCE JUSTICE follows Jason, a repenting mercenary for hire, and Arin, a K9 handler … Continue reading Review: Fierce Justice by Piper J. Drake
Five Stars I am trying to find the right words to express why this book delighted me so much. LADY DERRING TAKES A LOVER took me by surprise because, honestly, I was dazzled, and that doesn't happen to me very often anymore, especially with the start of a new series. This was my first book by … Continue reading Review: Lady Derring Takes a Lover by Julie Anne Long
Four Stars I don't think I can adequately express my excitement over the fact that Elizabeth Hoyt has started a new series. NOT THE DUKE'S DARLING wasn't only a unique and exciting romance, it was also a masterful groundlaying for what looks to be a fantastic new historical romance series. As always, Ms. Hoyt's ability to … Continue reading Review: Not the Duke’s Darling by Elizabeth Hoyt
Three Stars I think I fell into the hole of, "I hope really great writing can make me get over a trope I hate." Please note, this does not work, or at least it didn't work for me while reading this book. That being said, I can see why Christina Lauren has so many fans. MY … Continue reading Review: My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren
Five Stars I freaking adored this book. I couldn't put it down! I actually got on the wrong train during my morning commute because I was so engrossed in finishing this fabulous contemporary romance. Finally, a book that not only lightened my mood, but also added depth to a tough trope. Okay, well Mia Sosa actually … Continue reading Review: Crashing into Her by Mia Sosa
Four Stars What a refreshing change! This was my first experience with Alison Bliss' writing, and I am happy to say, it absolutely won't be my last. This is a very short novella about Sidney and Brett, a couple who broke up a year before and reunite over a flat tire. I love that Brett realized … Continue reading Review: Meant to Be by Alison Bliss
