Five Stars Well, I am kicking myself. I'm kicking myself, because I absolutely loved WELL MET by Jen DeLuca and I waited WAY too long to read this book. I mean COME ON, some of my favorite memories are going to the Ohio Renaissance Festival with my aunts. We always went on Roman takeover day … Continue reading Review: Well Met by Jen DeLuca
3.5 Stars I wasn't planning on reading THE HAPPY EVER AFTER PLAYLIST. While I respect how many devoted fans Abby Jimenez has, her debut novel, THE FRIEND ZONE, did not work for me. I was ready to pass on her sophomore novel when I generously received a complimentary audiobook listening copy from Libro.fm. I figured … Continue reading Review: The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez
Four Stars I have to say, after a subpar experience with the first two Kat Martin books I picked up, I was worried about reading THE DECEPTION. I let it sit on my kindle for a while and eventually decided to pick up the audiobook, and boy am I glad I did! While the book … Continue reading Review: The Deception by Kat Martin
Four Stars I've had an ARC of this book sitting on my kindle since August 2018. I picked it up and put it down several times, and I know it was more of a it's-not-you-it's-me situation. I adore Kate Clayborn's writing style, but something in her immersive descriptions and attention to detail demands every bit … Continue reading Review: Best of Luck by Kate Clayborn
4.5 Stars HOLY GUACAMOLE! Where do I sign up to be Nola (the heroine)'s best friend?? Move out of the way Vale (she'd probably punch me in the face for saying that, but WHO CARES?) Gena has done it. She's written one of my favorite heroines! Nola's body might be weak, but her spirit is … Continue reading Review: Frost and Flame by Gena Showalter
Five Stars The first book in this series, DEADLY OBSESSION, was good, I enjoyed it. But LETHAL REDEMPTION blew me away! The suspense storyline (I'm a sucker for a cult-involved romantic suspense), the well-rounded characters, the sexual tension, the BANTER. I loved it. Brava, Ms. Hunt! This second chance romance, romantic suspense novel follows childhood … Continue reading Review: Lethal Redemption by April Hunt
Four Stars I have a special place in my kindle for Ms. Zanetti's Dark Protector series. Anytime she announces a new book, my heart beats a little faster and I run to mark the release date on my calendar. Why, you may ask? Because Ms. Zanetti delivers every, dang, time. I've been dying for Quade … Continue reading Review: Hero’s Haven by Rebecca Zanetti
Five Stars I can always count on Tessa Bailey to deliver heart, humor, and heat in her books and LOVE HER OR LOSE HER was no exception. Romance novels with a married hero and heroine have become more prevalent in recent years. I'm here for authors stretching their creative muscles and writing about love in … Continue reading Review: Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa Bailey
4.5 Stars Is there anything better than a bubbly and adorable heroine paired with a dangerous and brooding monosyllabic hero? I'll answer that question, NOPE. One of my all-time favorite pairings written to perfection by one of my top romantic suspense authors in RISK IT ALL. The book follows reluctant bounty hunter, Cara, and her … Continue reading Review: Risk It All by Katie Ruggle
Four Stars I love that we (finally) have a sensitive, well-researched romance novel starring a heroine living a relatively normal life with HIV. Honestly, it's about time. Brava Karen Rose for giving this book the love, research, and tone it deserves. This is the second romance novel I've read this year where one of the … Continue reading Review: Into the Dark by Karen Rose
