I LOVED THIS BOOK! I have been a Rebecca Zanetti fan for years but none of her past romantic suspense novels really pushed my buttons. I tended to prefer her paranormal series. That being said, I read the teaser chapter for Hidden and knew I needed this book in my life... immediately. Boy, was I … Continue reading Review: Hidden by Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Cooper’s Charm by Lori Foster
I think I've found my new favorite Lori Foster novel! I really enjoyed reading about Phoenix and her sister Ridley as well as the quirky cast of characters that popped up at Cooper's Charm lake/camp. It was also set in Ohio which always means bonus points from this Ohio native! Let me just say, I've … Continue reading Review: Cooper’s Charm by Lori Foster
Review: Half Empty by Catherine Bybee
**3.5** Why hasn't Catherine Bybee written a high octane Hollywood movie script yet? I think this would make a great summer blockbuster. Half Empty started out as a sweet, slow-burn novel and ended with way more action and adventure than I was expecting. The heroine, Trina, was coming back from an open ended Italian vacation … Continue reading Review: Half Empty by Catherine Bybee
Review: I Think I Love You by Lauren Layne
You can't see my goofy grin through the screen, but trust me it's there. Reading a Lauren Layne novel is like eating a truly rich dessert with a whipped cream topping. Her books are decedent with a touch of whimsy. I Think I Love You is Ms. Layne's finale to the Oxford series and really … Continue reading Review: I Think I Love You by Lauren Layne
Review: Devoted to Pleasure by Shayla Black
I didn't know I was waiting on the perfect sweet, yet sexy bodyguard romance but then I picked up Devoted to Pleasure and it was everything I needed. I've only read a few Shayla Black novels and they were all deeply erotic. Devoted to Pleasure is a turn to the more tradition contemporary but in … Continue reading Review: Devoted to Pleasure by Shayla Black
Buddy Read: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
Check-In at the ~Midpoint (43%) Teresa: OK So I was really nervous to start this book. The hype was real! Juliana: I actually hadn’t heard that much about it when I decided to order it; someone had posted on Bookstagram and the summary immediately intrigued me. But you’re right—after already purchasing it, I saw it’s … Continue reading Buddy Read: The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
Review: Ocean Light by Nalini Singh
Fans of the Psy/Changeling Series have been waiting for the isolated water changeling clan BlackSea to give up their secrets for YEARS. Finally, finally Ms. Singh gives us what we want in Ocean Light. Of course, BlackSea doesn't just reveal all its secrets, you learn more and more throughout the book and every new detail … Continue reading Review: Ocean Light by Nalini Singh
Review: The Gunslinger’s Vow by Amy Sandas
I personally believe there isn't enough western historical romance being published right now. I miss the days of Johanna Lindsey characters exploring a young American west. Ms. Sandas is filling a huge void with her new series and I could not be happier with the results. The pros: Ms. Sandas is really good at writing … Continue reading Review: The Gunslinger’s Vow by Amy Sandas
Review: In Bed with the Beast by Tara Sivec
Disney princesses and strippers don't seem like a natural combination unless you have some kind of fetish... or if you're a rockstar romance writer like Tara Sivec. I'm just going to put this out there - In Bed with the Beast is every quiet, romantic book nerd's ideal romance novel. I absolutely adored the simmering … Continue reading Review: In Bed with the Beast by Tara Sivec
Review: Hurts to Love You by Alisha Rai
This was my first Alisha Rai novel and I think I made a mistake. I should have read this trilogy in order. Many romance novels stand alone, even well within a series. This book did stand alone, technically, but I felt like I was late to the party (or wedding as it may be) and … Continue reading Review: Hurts to Love You by Alisha Rai
