Review: Hero’s Haven by Rebecca Zanetti

February 17, 2020March 30, 20202 Comments

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

Review: Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa Bailey

January 14, 2020March 30, 2020Leave a comment

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

Review: Risk It All by Katie Ruggle

January 14, 2020Leave a comment

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

Review: Into the Dark by Karen Rose

December 5, 2019Leave a comment

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

Four Stars A couple who flirts via book exchanges and tabbed scenes?? Give me more! Are you looking for a sexy and fun opposites attract romance novella? Of course you are! Add in a small town, a heroine who owns a book shop, and a fun holiday season backdrop, you have this winner of a … Continue reading Review: One Christmas Eve by Shannon Stacey

Review: One Wish by Jodi Thomas

November 10, 2019Leave a comment

4.5 Stars What a DELIGHT. ONE WISH is an adorable and sweet American West historical romance that put a smile on my face; it filled me with all the holiday warm and fuzzies. Our hero and heroine were childhood friends who reunite through a thwarted robbery. Maggie, our heroine, needs a place to lay low … Continue reading Review: One Wish by Jodi Thomas

Review: Someone to Remember by Mary Balogh

November 5, 2019Leave a comment

4.5 Stars How does Mary Balogh get me to invest more of my emotions in a ten chapter novella than many authors do in a full novel? She's a magician, and the pen (or keyboard) is her wand. I'm sure of it. Mary Balogh novels are always chalked full of characters. SO many characters that … Continue reading Review: Someone to Remember by Mary Balogh

Review: A Mackenzie Clan Christmas by Jennifer Ashley

October 29, 2019Leave a comment

Four Stars Well, this was a delight! Reader be warned, this is two novellas set in the Mackenzie series world, and only the first story is new. The second novella was published previously. That didn't take away from my enjoyment in the least. Somehow, between books, I forget how much I love the crazy Mackenzie … Continue reading Review: A Mackenzie Clan Christmas by Jennifer Ashley

Review: Say it Again by Catherine Bybee

September 26, 2019Leave a comment

Three Stars I've been a fan of this series since book one and been intrigued by the mysterious character that was Sasha just as long. Always in the background, always alone; basically she's Catwoman. But I had a hard time imagining how Ms. Bybee would make her seem like a real woman. After reading the … Continue reading Review: Say it Again by Catherine Bybee

Review: Christmas in Winter Valley by Jodi Thomas

September 25, 2019Leave a comment

Three Stars Jodi Thomas' 2018 holiday romance, MISTLETOE MIRACLES, was my favorite holiday romance of last year. So to say that I had high expectations is an understatement. As always, Ms. Thomas knows how to wrap your heart up in a soft blanket to give you all the fuzzy feelings. She effortlessly writes multiple romances … Continue reading Review: Christmas in Winter Valley by Jodi Thomas

Hi Romance Peeps! My name is Teresa and I am a self-proclaimed romance aficionado with a BA in English and PR. My “real” job involves a grab bag of communications and community relations for a large nonprofit in the DC area. I probably read 5-7 romance novels a week. I take grave exception to people calling romance novels “smut” or “trash”. My #1 romance novel of all time forever and ever amen is “Dreaming of You” by Queen Lisa Kleypas. Read my posts to learn more about me, but mostly to hear my thoughts about romance novels new and old. Love you all!
