Review: Cold Blooded Liar by Karen Rose

March 6, 2023Leave a comment

Three Stars I adore Karen Rose. I binged her entire backlist in one summer a few years ago and have eagerly devoured each new release since... but sadly, this book just didn’t all the way hit the mark for me. At least half of my three star rating was the awful narration for the male … Continue reading Review: Cold Blooded Liar by Karen Rose

Review: Last Seen Alone by Laura Griffin

March 6, 2022March 6, 2022Leave a comment

Three Stars Romantic suspense is one of my favorite romance subgenres, so I added Laura Griffin to my must-read lists. I have enjoyed her books in the past, but this one sits solidly on my “it’s fine” list. LAST SEEN ALONE follows a lawyer heroine who fights for the victims of online abuse and a … Continue reading Review: Last Seen Alone by Laura Griffin

4.5 Stars A new romantic thriller series by one of my all-time favorite authors? Yes, please! Rebecca Zanetti is back again with another winner. This time, the series will follow Laurel Snow, a young FBI Special Agent. Laurel, a genius who graduated college as a teen, is socially awkward but passionate and competent. She is … Continue reading Review: You Can Run by Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Murder at Sunrise Lake by Christine Feehan

July 9, 2021July 30, 2021Leave a comment

4.5 Stars Listen y’all, Christine Feehan has blown me AWAY. Okay, yes, I am a certified superfan, but MURDER AT SUNRISE LAKE is everything I didn’t know I needed in a thriller… from the queen of paranormal romance! I love that Ms. Feehan took a chance and wrote a standalone thriller. I couldn’t put it down! This … Continue reading Review: Murder at Sunrise Lake by Christine Feehan

Review: Legacy by Nora Roberts

May 25, 2021Leave a comment

Four Stars A new Nora Roberts romantic suspense novel is always a reason to celebrate! If you liked HIDEAWAY, Queen Nora’s romsus release in 2020, you’re going to love this book. I adore the way LEGACY is structured. You follow the heroine, Adrian, through her life. Starting with an event that shaped her life in … Continue reading Review: Legacy by Nora Roberts

Review: Flight by Laura Griffin

March 30, 2021May 3, 2021Leave a comment

Four Stars This was only the second book by Laura Griffin I’ve picked up, but dang, I am hooked! She has this incredible ability to paint a picture in my brain. While reading FLIGHT, I actually felt like I was watching a movie at points. The beach setting in her latest book is so atmospheric. FLIGHT … Continue reading Review: Flight by Laura Griffin

Review: Driven by Rebecca Zanetti

January 25, 2021Leave a comment

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

Review: Fatal Deception by April Hunt

January 8, 2021Leave a comment

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

Review: Before Nightfall by Kat Martin

September 28, 2020October 1, 2020Leave a comment

Three Stars A quick novella filler in Kat Martin's high octane Maximum Security series, BEFORE NIGHTFALL is a nice bite of a book with some fun insta-love and pulse-pounding action scenes. I really liked our hero, Colt. His eye patch was sexy and I loved that he treated the heroine, Lissa, with the professional respect … Continue reading Review: Before Nightfall by Kat Martin
