Three Stars I think I fell into the hole of, "I hope really great writing can make me get over a trope I hate." Please note, this does not work, or at least it didn't work for me while reading this book. That being said, I can see why Christina Lauren has so many fans. MY … Continue reading Review: My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren
Five Stars I freaking adored this book. I couldn't put it down! I actually got on the wrong train during my morning commute because I was so engrossed in finishing this fabulous contemporary romance. Finally, a book that not only lightened my mood, but also added depth to a tough trope. Okay, well Mia Sosa actually … Continue reading Review: Crashing into Her by Mia Sosa
Four Stars What a refreshing change! This was my first experience with Alison Bliss' writing, and I am happy to say, it absolutely won't be my last. This is a very short novella about Sidney and Brett, a couple who broke up a year before and reunite over a flat tire. I love that Brett realized … Continue reading Review: Meant to Be by Alison Bliss
Two Stars Let me preface my review by saying, I do enjoy Laura Drake's writing style. The descriptions in this book were perfection and I loved reading about the characters in a small New Mexico town. But this plot just wasn't for me. At all. I was expecting a fun second chance romance and what I … Continue reading Review: The Last True Cowboy by Laura Drake
Four Stars Wow. What a roller coaster from beginning to end! I don't know how I've gone this long without reading a Karen Rose novel, but I am officially a fan. SAY YOU'RE SORRY is the first book in Ms. Rose's new Sacramento series. It's a wonderfully crafted romantic thriller following Daisy, a free spirit still … Continue reading Review: Say You’re Sorry by Karen Rose
Three Stars After two attempts, I think I am tapping out on Carolyn Brown books. Clearly, something about her writing style just doesn't click for me. I liked this book's plot, a plus-sized heroine and a playboy, cowboy hero falling in love. The parts I liked: Justin is sweetly devoted to Emily. The setting is cute, … Continue reading Review: Cowboy Brave by Carolyn Brown
Four Stars I'm going to be honest, I was a little hesitant with this book. I love historical western romances, but I worry when an author bases their book off an actual historical event or group of people, they will be more concerned about historical accuracy and details rather than the plot. Luckily, Anna Schmidt put … Continue reading Review: Trailblazer by Anna Schmidt
3.5 Stars Wow, I have mixed feelings about this book. First off, this is not really a romance novel, I wouldn't really consider it to be a rom-com either. A couple is not at the center of this story and this book delves deep. It's not even a little bit fluffy. Even the humorous parts are … Continue reading Review: The Matchmaker List by Sonya Lalli
Three Stars This review was difficult for me to write. I didn't hate this book, but it also didn't really grab my attention in any real way. In COWBOY HONOR, Carolyn Brown crafts a sweet world set on a Texas ranch with a big loving family. When I say these characters are sweet and loving, I … Continue reading Review: Cowboy Honor by Carolyn Brown
One Star This was my first Tawny Weber and first Harlequin Romantic Suspense novel. I am sad to say this book just wasn't for me. From the flimsy plot to the excess of dialogue, not much worked. This book follows a spunky entrepreneur heroine, Lila, who witnesses a crime in Costa Rica. No one believes her, … Continue reading Review: Navy SEAL to the Rescue by Tawny Weber
