Four Stars To be honest, I was trepidatious starting this book. I wasn't sure I needed ANOTHER Pride and Prejudice retelling. I love P&P as much as the next English major, but depending on how faithful the retelling is, it can make books predictable. Luckily, AYESHA AT LAST was a breath of fresh air, and … Continue reading Review: Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin
Five Stars I'm going to be honest, I had to read this book twice in two weeks just to complete a review that had more words than "OMGILOVETHISBOOKSOMUCH." Nalini Singh is my gold standard author, and her Psy-Changeling series is one of my most beloved series of all time. I was a little nervous about … Continue reading Review: Wolf Rain by Nalini Singh
4.5 Stars The Shadow Rider series is one of Christine Feehan's newer series, and I think it's underrated. I love the concept of a mob-like family in Chicago who ride shadows and kill people (what does that say about me?) not your typical romance series setting for sure! Each book is wholly unique to any … Continue reading Review & Exclusive Excerpt: Shadow Warrior by Christine Feehan
Four Stars I think part of the reason I ended up liking this novella, is because I really didn't enjoy the first 10%. I had no interest in a hero who has ruined his life through addiction and self-pity. Plus the opening scene in this book is super graphic. Those things combined with Ms. Crownover … Continue reading Review: Unbroken by Jay Crownover
3.5 Stars Ah, the curse of the short novella. I adore Rebecca Zanetti. ADORE. The first book in this series was a whole-hearted five star read. HIDDEN was actually one of my very favorite books of 2018. So I had high expectations going into TAKEN, especially because I have read, and loved, many of RZ's novellas … Continue reading Review: Taken by Rebecca Zanetti
3.5 Stars Romantic suspense is one of my recent favorite subgenres. Since it's a newer fave, I am always on the hunt for new-to-me authors and series to fall in love with. DEADLY OBSESSION fit the bill, the first book in a new series about two families starting an elite private security firm. This story … Continue reading Review: Deadly Obsession by April Hunt
3.5 Stars I love historical western romances, and Linda Broday is quickly becoming my favorite author of the subgenre. SAVING THE MAIL ORDER BRIDE follows outlaw and former lawman Jack and his mail order bride Nora. They meet by happenstance in the same coach after Jack has been caught by the law. After the coach crashes, … Continue reading Review: Saving the Mail Order Bride by Linda Broday
Four Stars I was a little apprehensive about this book going in. I'm always a little leery when the heroine has been in love with the hero basically her whole life. And Beatrix HAS been in love with Dane her whole life. Now he is recovering from a bull riding accident and she helping to … Continue reading Review: Unbroken Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Four Stars I was a little nervous to re-start this much-loved series 29 (!?!?) books in. Paranormal romances tend to build over time and I was worried jumping in blind would leave me lost the whole book. I've read a few books in this series, but it's been YEARS, and I remembered exactly nothing about … Continue reading Review: The Trouble with Vampires by Lynsay Sans
4.5 Stars Romantic. Emotional. Fascinating. Realistic. Compelling. Engrossing. I could go on and on about how much I loved I WANT YOU BACK by Lorelei James. Fans of her Need You series have been dying for the resolution of this storyline for years, and Ms. James delivers in a big way. The first book in … Continue reading Review: I Want You Back by Lorelei James
