Four Stars I think part of the reason I ended up liking this novella, is because I really didn't enjoy the first 10%. I had no interest in a hero who has ruined his life through addiction and self-pity. Plus the opening scene in this book is super graphic. Those things combined with Ms. Crownover … Continue reading Review: Unbroken by Jay Crownover
Three Stars Romantic suspense novels are my favorite treat. I love reading about a couple falling in love while bullets are flying and the adrenaline is *ahem* pumping. So I was really excited to start my first book by Piper J. Drake. FIERCE JUSTICE follows Jason, a repenting mercenary for hire, and Arin, a K9 handler … Continue reading Review: Fierce Justice by Piper J. Drake
Four Stars I don't think I can adequately express my excitement over the fact that Elizabeth Hoyt has started a new series. NOT THE DUKE'S DARLING wasn't only a unique and exciting romance, it was also a masterful groundlaying for what looks to be a fantastic new historical romance series. As always, Ms. Hoyt's ability to … Continue reading Review: Not the Duke’s Darling by Elizabeth Hoyt
Two Stars Let me preface my review by saying, I do enjoy Laura Drake's writing style. The descriptions in this book were perfection and I loved reading about the characters in a small New Mexico town. But this plot just wasn't for me. At all. I was expecting a fun second chance romance and what I … Continue reading Review: The Last True Cowboy by Laura Drake
Three Stars This review was difficult for me to write. I didn't hate this book, but it also didn't really grab my attention in any real way. In COWBOY HONOR, Carolyn Brown crafts a sweet world set on a Texas ranch with a big loving family. When I say these characters are sweet and loving, I … Continue reading Review: Cowboy Honor by Carolyn Brown
Four Stars Dang, Rebecca Zanetti knows how to end a series. I'm going to put it out there: No one writes action/adventure romance quite like Rebecca Zanetti. To be honest, in other action romance novels I sometimes end up skipping action sequences if they're too gratuitous or boring. I never have to do that in … Continue reading Review: Twisted Truths by Rebecca Zanetti
I was excited to dive into The Paris Seamstress based on the synopsis and the great reviews I had read. I am usually a strict romance reader, but every once in a while I like to step out of my comfort zone. A sweeping historical fiction novel following two strong women, one a French seamstress … Continue reading Review: The Paris Seamstress by Natasha Lester
The Good Luck Charm is the first romance novel I've recently read that felt more like a young/new adult novel when the characters were in their late twenties. That might not be a problem for many people. Like many second chance romance novels, the hero, NHL player Ethan, and the heroine, professional nurse and aspiring … Continue reading Review: The Good Luck Charm by Helena Hunting
I feel like I almost pulled a mental muscle attempting to keep up with this novel and attempting to enjoy it simultaneously. The first book in a new paranormal romance series is never easy. There is a lot of world-building, a ton of definitions and paranormal rules. Katie MacAlister's Memoirs of a Dragon Hunter was … Continue reading Review: Memoirs of a Dragon Hunter by Katie MacAlister
