As a long time fan of Kate Meader, I had high expectations going into Down with Love. She has written a few of my favorite sports and blue collar contemporary romances and I was really looking forward to reading about a sexy divorce lawyer (Max) and a wedding planner (Charlie) falling in love. Unfortunately, the … Continue reading Review: Down with Love by Kate Meader

Review: Hidden by Rebecca Zanetti
I LOVED THIS BOOK! I have been a Rebecca Zanetti fan for years but none of her past romantic suspense novels really pushed my buttons. I tended to prefer her paranormal series. That being said, I read the teaser chapter for Hidden and knew I needed this book in my life... immediately. Boy, was I … Continue reading Review: Hidden by Rebecca Zanetti
Review: Cooper’s Charm by Lori Foster
I think I've found my new favorite Lori Foster novel! I really enjoyed reading about Phoenix and her sister Ridley as well as the quirky cast of characters that popped up at Cooper's Charm lake/camp. It was also set in Ohio which always means bonus points from this Ohio native! Let me just say, I've … Continue reading Review: Cooper’s Charm by Lori Foster
Review: Half Empty by Catherine Bybee
**3.5** Why hasn't Catherine Bybee written a high octane Hollywood movie script yet? I think this would make a great summer blockbuster. Half Empty started out as a sweet, slow-burn novel and ended with way more action and adventure than I was expecting. The heroine, Trina, was coming back from an open ended Italian vacation … Continue reading Review: Half Empty by Catherine Bybee

Review: I Think I Love You by Lauren Layne
You can't see my goofy grin through the screen, but trust me it's there. Reading a Lauren Layne novel is like eating a truly rich dessert with a whipped cream topping. Her books are decedent with a touch of whimsy. I Think I Love You is Ms. Layne's finale to the Oxford series and really … Continue reading Review: I Think I Love You by Lauren Layne
Review: Off the Grid by Monica McCarty
I wanted to love this book. One of my favorite summer subgenres is romantic suspense and this book seemed like it would hit all my favorite buttons: best friend's sister, sexy SEALs, suspenseful plot line. Unfortunately, the relationships fell a little flat for me. I didn't hate this book. It had some real potential. Ms. … Continue reading Review: Off the Grid by Monica McCarty
Review: Devoted to Pleasure by Shayla Black
I didn't know I was waiting on the perfect sweet, yet sexy bodyguard romance but then I picked up Devoted to Pleasure and it was everything I needed. I've only read a few Shayla Black novels and they were all deeply erotic. Devoted to Pleasure is a turn to the more tradition contemporary but in … Continue reading Review: Devoted to Pleasure by Shayla Black
Review: Tempting the Laird by Julia London
This was my first Julia London book and I can't say it will be my last, but I was disappointed by the execution of this romance. Immediately I was intrigued by a heroine in her 30s and a hero in his 40s. I enjoy reading about mature main characters especially historical romance. Our hero, Hamlin, … Continue reading Review: Tempting the Laird by Julia London
