Steve-freaking-Springfield! Longtime fans of Katie Ruggle have been waiting for this book since Steve's kids were rescued in On His Watch. Steve is the hot single dad/firefighter (with four kids) who has been on the periphery of the last eight (?!?!) Katie Ruggle novels. Finally, with the start of a new series, Steve got his … Continue reading Review: Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas by Katie Ruggle
I don't know how Lauren Layne does it, she writes about pretty, rich, successful people and makes them not only human but extremely relatable. Hard Sell seems like your classic long-time enemies to lovers novel. Sabrina is a New York City fixer who seems to live off her connections and street smarts. Matt is a … Continue reading Review: Hard Sell by Lauren Layne
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
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 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
Let me just put this out there. This book surprised me in a really good way. The book was far more about the maturing of the relationship between billionaire playboy Luka and his straitlaced personal assistant Cecelia than any crazy baby stuff. Cece and Luka were both flawed people with difficult childhoods and I felt … Continue reading Review: Claiming His Hidden Heir by Carol Marinelli
