Five Stars Gosh darn it! Cara Bastone has shattered all my longstanding, hard-won, romance preferences with her debut novel JUST A HEARTBEAT AWAY (debut, are you kidding me?? Skillz).

You just assume you can't handle the main characters in a … Continue reading Review: Just a Heartbeat Away by Cara Bastone
Four Stars When I started this book, I really couldn't get into it. I was having a hard time connecting or sympathizing with the heroine, and I know that's a deal-breaker for me.

4.5 Stars Jennifer Armentrout created a fantastic fantasy world in the Blood and Ash series's first book, FROM BLOOD AND ASH, and continued the wild ride in A KINGDOM OF FLESH AND FIRE (out today!!).

Five Stars Anddd say hello to one of my top books of the year! I absolutely adored CONVENTIONALLY YOURS by Annabeth Albert. I had to read it twice before I could even get my heart-feels under control enough to write a more coherent review than "GAH I LOVE, LOVE." Although, fair warning, this review will … Continue reading Review: Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert
Four Stars I have to say, I'm a sucker for a good bear shifter romance! Setting up a new paranormal world is always a challenge, but Kathy Lyons tackled world-building, action, mystery, and of course, ROMANCE with aplomb. Her ability to deftly world build while pushing along the connection between our hero and heroine and … Continue reading Review: Bound by Shadows by Kathy Lyons
Four Stars Dang. Christine Feehan is really taking these Torpedo Ink novels to the next erotic level and I'm here for it. I think it really fits the dark and violent, yet emotional and romantic tone these books have.
