Molly Harper is a new to me author but I absolutely could not resist the bright cover and fun synopsis. Diving into the book, I was super excited because I was instantly in love with Ms. Harper's writing style. The characters were funny, the town was quaint, the accents were great. I was especially enamored … Continue reading Review: Ain’t She a Peach by Molly Harper
I personally believe there isn't enough western historical romance being published right now. I miss the days of Johanna Lindsey characters exploring a young American west. Ms. Sandas is filling a huge void with her new series and I could not be happier with the results. The pros: Ms. Sandas is really good at writing … Continue reading Review: The Gunslinger’s Vow by Amy Sandas
Disney princesses and strippers don't seem like a natural combination unless you have some kind of fetish... or if you're a rockstar romance writer like Tara Sivec. I'm just going to put this out there - In Bed with the Beast is every quiet, romantic book nerd's ideal romance novel. I absolutely adored the simmering … Continue reading Review: In Bed with the Beast by Tara Sivec
This was my first Alisha Rai novel and I think I made a mistake. I should have read this trilogy in order. Many romance novels stand alone, even well within a series. This book did stand alone, technically, but I felt like I was late to the party (or wedding as it may be) and … Continue reading Review: Hurts to Love You by Alisha Rai
As a proud and avid Kate Meader fan, I have been waiting (impatiently) for Bren and Violet's story since the beginning of the Chicago Rebels series. Grouchy heroes are my catnip and Bren had a scowl that gave me shivers. As always, Ms. Meader manages to surprise me with the emotional depth and intensity of … Continue reading Review: Hooked On You by Kate Meader
When I first saw this book I was immediately drawn to the absolutely stunning cover. Not only was the dress and model beautiful and eye-catching, the cover was actually relevant to the story, which I love. Although this is book five in her Worthingtons series, You Never Forget Your First Earl (whew, that's a mouthful) … Continue reading Review: You Never Forget Your First Earl by Ella Quinn
Laura Kaye has been one of my favorite authors for years. I was so excited to hear she was writing a new series centered around a fighting gym for individuals with PTSD. Starting Fighting for Everything, I was quickly reminded how well Ms. Kaye portrays mental health in her novels. Our hero, Noah Cortez, has … Continue reading Review: Fighting for Everything by Laura Kaye
I saw this book all over Instagram and that isn't usually enough to influence me, until read the description. A prima ballerina changing lanes to do an experimental Broadway show with a sexy, enigmatic director? SIGN ME UP. I am such a Broadway junkie. I may or may not be listening to the Book of … Continue reading Review: Pas De Deux by Lynn Turner
I adored this book. It always takes me a few chapters to sink into Mary Balogh's writing style. She drives the story and her characters through their internal growth and speculation rather than than the dialogue. It's truly, very refreshing. Don't be intimidated by pages without dialogue. Things are happening, the book is moving forward, … Continue reading Review: A Summer to Remember by Mary Balogh
I had such high hopes when I requested this book from NetGalley. A great romantic suspense with Navy SEALs? My catnip. Unfortunately I was disappointed in the execution, silly names, and frankly, the sex scenes. The pros: Just as I was about to give up on this novel, the adventure and mystery aspects got better. … Continue reading Review: An Honorable Seduction by Brenda Jackson
