Four Stars Dang it, Alisha Rai! She gets me every time. THE RIGHT SWIPE hit all the right notes; starting with one of my new favorite heroes, and ending with a beautifully complex, yet fast-paced romance novel. The story follows Rhiannon, a guarded dating app CEO and kick-butt girl boss, and Samson, my new book … Continue reading Review: The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai
3.5 Stars I am going to start off by saying, I liked this book. I read it in one sitting on a perfect Sunday afternoon. It's a quick and fun read. Was it my favorite Tessa Bailey book of all time? Not by a long shot. I'm in the minority by saying this brother's best … Continue reading Review: Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey
Two Stars This was my first Christy Carlyle novel and I have to be honest, I was completely pulled in by the stunning cover and fun synopsis.

Aidan is a self-made man and investor … Continue reading Review: Anything But A Duke by Christy Carlyle
4.5 Stars I didn't know for sure until I read this novella, but this was the story I needed in 2019. CAN'T ESCAPE LOVE is novella gold and as soon as I got to "the end" I wanted to start it all over again so I could relive the warm fuzzies. I think we all … Continue reading Review: Can’t Escape Love by Alyssa Cole
3.5 Stars What would we call this trope? The reverse secret baby trope? Idk but it was a unique premise that I enjoyed! One of the best parts of any Sophie Jordan novel is how readable her writing is. I would sit down with THIS SCOT OF MINE, and before I knew it, I was … Continue reading Review: This Scot of Mine by Sophie Jordan
Five Stars I am trying to find the right words to express why this book delighted me so much.

This was my first book by … Continue reading Review: Lady Derring Takes a Lover by Julie Anne Long

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
Three Stars Jumping into a series on book seven is always a risk. Luckily, THE WRONG HIGHLANDER stands alone well and I enjoyed this book about Evina and Conran. Evi is desperate to save her ailing father, so she goes to request (force) Rory Buchanan, a famed healer, to cure him. Through a series of classic … Continue reading Review: The Wrong Highlander by Lynsay Sands

To start off, dog lovers … Continue reading Review: Playing for Keeps by Jill Shalvis
4.5 Stars What a gift to fans of this series! TEXAS LEGACY is the long-awaited concluding novella to Lorraine Heath’s Texas Trilogy. The first book in the series, TEXAS DESTINY was initially published in 1997 (!?!?), but Ms. Heath slid readers back into her Texas world as you would slip into an old, worn-in pair … Continue reading Review: Texas Legacy by Lorraine Heath
