Review: You Never Forget Your First Earl by Ella Quinn
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
Review: An Honorable Seduction by Brenda Jackson
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
Review: Luck of the Draw by Kate Clayborn
I did something completely out of character before starting this book, or should I say I DIDN'T do something. I didn't read the book summary *gasps* I honestly don't know if I've ever started a book without reading the blurb. But boy am I glad I didn't. I felt like Ms. Clayborn was giving me … Continue reading Review: Luck of the Draw by Kate Clayborn

I will start with the best parts of this book though. A positive of this novel was the unique premise. An entire family of Scotsmen coming … Continue reading Review: Joanna’s Highlander by Maeve Greyson
Review: Not Quite Crazy by Catherine Bybee
**I received an ARC of this book in order to provide an honest review** Fun Fact: Catherine Bybee is the first author I found via my fancy new Kindle circa 2012.

Review: Undone By You by Kate Meader
**I received an ARC of this book in order to provide an honest review** Beautiful. Romantic. Emotional. Those are the three words to sum up sophisticated, openly gay NHL general manager Dante and good-ole boy, star hockey defenseman Cade's romance. In my opinion, Kate Meader is one of the most underrated contemporary romance authors currently. … Continue reading Review: Undone By You by Kate Meader
Review: Reluctantly Royal by Gillian Archer
In Reluctantly Royal, Gillian Archer works within the trope to make an overall enjoyable story with a few hitches here and there. 3.5 stars. Prince Lucien of Monaco lost his twin brother and his father last year. Yanked out of a career in the French military, Luc is now forced to take on the role … Continue reading Review: Reluctantly Royal by Gillian Archer
