Every once in a while I just want a book without any heartache or angst. I want to get lost, have fun, and escape for a little while. Kiss the Girl by Tara Sivec gave me those three gifts and more. This book follows Ariel, business woman and aspiring stripper with a hoarding problem and … Continue reading Review: Kiss the Girl by Tara Sivec
**3.5 Stars** Caution: Do not start this book right before bed or you won't get enough sleep because you have to read it cover to cover. Speaking from personal experience. As a long time Katie Ruggle fan, I was highly anticipating Through the Fire. For the most part, Ms. Ruggle delivered. Kit, a petite, half … Continue reading Review: Through the Fire by Katie Ruggle
I was in the mood for a good cowboy romance. I have read amazing reviews for Maisey Yates' previous books and Good Time Cowboy sounded like it would be right up my alley. I was expecting a light, fun, cowboy romance but what I got was so much more. Good Time Cowboy is a gorgeous … Continue reading Review: Good Time Cowboy by Maisey Yates

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
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
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
I wanted to love this book.

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
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
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
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
