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
3.5 Stars Anyone who reads a Lora Leigh novel and is surprised by gratuitous and smokin' hot sex scenes, has obviously never read one of her books before. ONE TOUGH COWBOY might have been co-written by Veronica Chadwick, but this was a classic Lora Leigh novel. The story follows Samantha, a Detroit police officer who has … Continue reading Review: One Tough Cowboy by Lora Leigh & Veronica Chadwick
Four Stars I capital-L Loved this book! Every time I picked up my kindle in public, people would look at me like I was crazy because every few pages I would be laughing out loud. CRAZY CUPID LOVE is amusing, emotionally romantic with the perfect amount of steam, and an absolute blast to read. The plot … Continue reading Review: Crazy Cupid Love by Amanda Heger
Three Stars My first Shannon Stacey novel was a second chance romance with SO much potential. FLARE UP follows Grant, a Boston firefighter, and Wren, the woman who broke his heart five months before. Wren ran away from Grant and her relationship with him because she is scared of a violent ex-boyfriend. The relationship between Grant … Continue reading Review: Flare Up by Shannon Stacey
Four Stars I've said it once, but I'll say it again: Torpedo Ink is the series Christine Feehan was always meant to write and I am SO here for it. I loved this book. I don't want to say too much about the plot because I would have been OFFENDED if anyone had ruined the … Continue reading Review: Vengeance Road by Christine Feehan
