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

Review: An Honorable Seduction by Brenda Jackson
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
Review: Luck of the Draw by Kate Clayborn
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
Review: Claiming His Hidden Heir by Carol Marinelli
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

Review: Undone By You by Kate Meader
**I received an ARC of this book in order to provide an honest review** Beautiful. Romantic. Emotional. Those are the three words to sum up sophisticated, openly gay NHL general manager Dante and good-ole boy, star hockey defenseman Cade's romance. In my opinion, Kate Meader is one of the most underrated contemporary romance authors currently. … Continue reading Review: Undone By You by Kate Meader
