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
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
**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

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.

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 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
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
