3.5 Stars Romantic suspense and forced proximity go together like peanut butter and chocolate; Adriana Anders proves that during her series starter, WHITEOUT. The most intense stuck-together/survival romance I've read in a long time. I mean, it's set on the SOUTH POLE!! This book throws you in the deep end right off the bat with … Continue reading Review: Whiteout by Adriana Anders
Four Stars I am happy to report that my first Darynda Jones novel was a great one! I went into this thinking it was a romance novel, and it's not, but that didn't diminish my enjoyment. The book is almost genre-less? It's a mix of mystery, general fiction, romance, a touch of YA, suspense... basically, … Continue reading Review: A Bad Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones
One Star I put this book off for a long time, and now I know why. It just didn't work for me. I love marriage in trouble books. Seeing a couple fight for their HEA is deeply appealing to me as a romance reader and realist. Reading about a couple stepping back and examining their … Continue reading Review: The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams
DNF I had SUCH high hopes for this debut novel, and I think, in the end, it was a "it's me and not you" situation. I completely get why so many people enjoyed this book. The story started on a high note; Alaska settings and grumpy heroes are my catnip! The hero was giving me … Continue reading Review: The Tourist Attraction by Sarah Morgenthaler
Five Stars I have been blown away. I'm gone. Guys, this might be one of my favorite books of 2020! I don't know why UNDER CURRENTS surprised me so much. Nora Roberts is the queen of romance. If you think she is coasting after publishing 1000 best sellers (approximately), you could not be more wrong. … Continue reading Review: Under Currents by Nora Roberts
Four Stars Big Shadow Rider fan right here! I love this high-octane world Christine Feehan has created. Fans of the series have been anticipating SHADOW FLIGHT since book one when Nicoletta was rescued and we saw the instant connection between her and Taviano. Readers have seen Nicoletta and Taviano collide in fights and I, for … Continue reading Review: Shadow Flight by Christine Feehan
4.5 Stars It's been a while since I truly could not put a book down. As in, when I blearily finished the last page of this delight of a story and glanced at my phone, it was way, way later than I ever stay up. I have no regrets, though! Alex and Henry have a … Continue reading Review: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Five Stars I had high expectations diving into GET A LIFE, CHLOE BROWN, and I happy to report, I absolutely LOVED the book! I grinned, laughed, and felt all the feels while reading. Chloe and Red felt fresh and new and achingly familiar at the same time. Both characters were so wholly unique and well … Continue reading Review: Get a Life Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
Four Stars I didn't know I needed a semi-dark mafia romance set in New Orleans in my life, but luckily, Rhenna Morgan knew! HIS TO DEFEND was a BLAST to read! The first book in a new series, the book follows a Russian mafia boss hero and he helps the single mom/local NOLA darling after … Continue reading Review: His to Defend by Rhenna Morgan
Two Stars As a big Robyn Carr fan, it pains me to write this review, but I disliked SUNRISE ON HALF MOON BAY so much, I was a breath away from throwing the book across the room at points. I've read upwards of 30 RC novels previously, and none of them have hit such a … Continue reading Review: Sunrise on Half Moon Bay by Robyn Carr
