Three Stars THE ANGST. Oh dear lord, the angst. Why you gotta do me like that Marie?? There have been a few books I've read and thought, "these people need therapy." But Marie Force's is one of the first books I've seen where the heroine acknowledges how much she needs help and gets it. Thank … Continue reading Review: Five Years Gone by Marie Force
To be honest, I went into Consumed not expecting to enjoy it. I know that Ward always writes a brutal and intense world, which works so well in paranormal romance. I wasn't sure how her writing style and dangerously damaged characters would translate to a contemporary setting. Of course, Ward proved me wrong. I loved … Continue reading Review: Consumed by J.R. Ward

This novel takes place some time later after Avery is completely … Continue reading Review: Chasing Shadows by Catherine Bybee
Joanna Shupe has quickly become one of my favorite historical romance authors. Her fun and trope-y plot lines pull me in and her beautifully well-rounded characters keep me invested. A Notorious Vow was a fabulous marriage of convenience story with a deaf, reclusive hero and a painfully shy heroine. Oliver was a wonderful hero. He … Continue reading Review: A Notorious Vow by Joanna Shupe
I don't know how Lauren Layne does it, she writes about pretty, rich, successful people and makes them not only human but extremely relatable. Hard Sell seems like your classic long-time enemies to lovers novel. Sabrina is a New York City fixer who seems to live off her connections and street smarts. Matt is a … Continue reading Review: Hard Sell by Lauren Layne

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
