Five Stars Dear Cara Bastone, thank you for writing one of my favorite books of 2021 in January. A heck of a way to kick off the year! FLIRTING WITH FOREVER, and I am not exaggerating, made me smile, swoon, and believe in love again. When I read the synopsis, I knew I would adore … Continue reading Review: Flirting with Forever by Cara Bastone
Five Stars I was so worried the relationship between Nari and Angus in DRIVEN wouldn’t live up to my expectations after three books of building sexual tension. I am happy to report that not only did Rebecca Zanetti meet my expectations, she also knocked them out of the park! Zanetti has been masterfully weaving the … Continue reading Review: Driven by Rebecca Zanetti
Four Stars Maisey Yates does enemies to lovers so, so well. It's just a fact! This book was about rival vineyard owners, Wren and Creed. Wren's family business has just gone through total upheaval after her father's misdeeds came to light. To continue developing the company brand, Wren needs to partner with Creed's family vineyard, … Continue reading Review: Claiming the Rancher’s Heir by Maisey Yates
4.5 Stars Ummm, I loved this book. I don't miss sleep for many things, but I started TOOLS OF ENGAGEMENT right before bed, stayed up too late reading, then woke up early so I could finish before work. WORTH IT! If you've read the two previous standalone books in the series as I have, you've … Continue reading Review: Tools of Engagement by Tessa Bailey
Two Stars Man, I am so let down! I gave the previous book in April Hunt's Steel Ops series five stars, but sadly, FATAL DECEPTION didn't work for me. The plot follows a virologist heroine (yay, STEM heroines!) after her lab is broken into and bad guys steal a deadly virus - the hero is … Continue reading Review: Fatal Deception by April Hunt
4.5 Stars I freaking love the Argeneau series. It’s one of those rare paranormal series you don’t have to read in order (in my opinion). Sure, you’d probably understand more if you jumped in during one of the earlier books, but I read this whole series out of order, just picking up a book here … Continue reading Review: Immortal Angel by Lynsay Sands
Four Stars This series is classic Kristen Ashley: commandos, wacky heroines, over the top drama, and Colorado landmarks. I love it! DREAM CHASER was a fun addition to the series. Lots of your favorite characters make cameo appearances, but Ryn and Boone (the most KA names EVER) were definitely at the book's center. Ryn is … Continue reading Review: Dream Chaser by Kristen Ashley
2.5 Stars Robyn Carr's books are usually like warm hugs for me, warm and comforting. THE COUNTRY GUESTHOUSE felt like a one-armed hug, a little halfhearted. I still got some warm and fuzzy feels, but without the usual Carr magic. For some context, this is the fifth book in Robyn Carr’s Sullivan’s Crossing series, and … Continue reading Review: The Country Guesthouse by Robyn Carr
Four Stars I had almost given up on finding a new mafia romance series I really love (most of the ones I enjoy were written in the early 2010s), and then Rhenna Morgan gave us the NOLA Knights series! Sexy Russian ex-pats who protect New Orleans, have their own moral code, and fall head-over-heels for … Continue reading Review: Mine to Keep by Rhenna Morgan
Five Stars Rebecca Zanetti is one of those authors that hits it out of the part every single time. I shouldn't even be surprised at this point. GUARDIAN'S GRACE is Ms. Zanetti at her very best. Lovers of the series have been watching our hero and heroine simmer as secondary characters in previous books, and … Continue reading Review: Guardian’s Grace by Rebecca Zanetti
