Voracious Romance Reader • Honest Reviewer
Words cannot express how FANTASTIC this book is. I read a lot - and I mean a LOT - of romance novels, and I’m having difficulty thinking of a book I enjoyed more than this one. If this is the author’s debut novel, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next. The... Continue Reading →
5-star banter makes this light-hearted rom com absolutely fly by - I devoured this in one sitting and did so with a smile on my face the whole time. It's not a perfect book - the romance was wrapped up WAY too quickly for my liking - but it was exactly what I needed in... Continue Reading →
Sexy and light, this dirty rom com flies by. I've seen Logan Chance's books on the bestseller lists before, but this is my first time reading one and I've got to say, it was a fun read! What starts as a slow burning rom com turns into an, uh, kinda filthy read, honestly. It's perhaps... Continue Reading →
I was introduced to Kennedy Ryan's work last year and I can't wait to read more of it! There are countless Kingmaker fans out there eagerly anticipating this release, and I am definitely intrigued (plus this gorgeous cover sells itself). Get all the details below and add Queen Move to your TBR today. Queen Move,... Continue Reading →
Every month, there are new releases that I look forward to, but April has some truly exciting books! From light to dark, funny to somber, there's something for every mood. Though there are many books that I'm looking forward to, these are the ones I am most excited about (for a variety of reasons!). You... Continue Reading →
This one will tug on your heartstrings in a big way, pairing a broken hero with a heroine who has hope despite the darkness in her past. It's not so much a story about falling in love as it is a story about accepting it - though this does technically stand alone, we were introduced... Continue Reading →
Ever read a book that you know is well done, but you just can't get into it? That's where I'm at with this one. I've enjoyed Shari J. Ryan's work in the past, so I've been keeping up with the series but I found this to be such a heavy, depressing read. It was one... Continue Reading →
The covers were just revealed for several books that I'm excited about, so I thought I'd share them all in one place! New releases from two of my very favorite authors, an intriguing quarantine-inspired read, a light, fun forbidden romance, and a re-release from a well known author. Any of them would make great additions... Continue Reading →
It was a busy release week with a little something for everyone! Lots of solid books came out, and a lot of them were STEAMY. There were several that I really enjoyed, and one new-to-me author who will be on my radar from now on. If you missed any of the reviews, I’ve got the... Continue Reading →
Corinne Michaels always has gorgeous covers and this one is no exception! Angst lovers, check out the blurb of this upcoming release below. BLURB: From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes a new emotional and riveting standalone second chance love story. I fell in love with Sydney Hastings when I was ten years... Continue Reading →
This wasn't a homerun for me, but I liked it. An interesting combination of light/emotional and sweet/sexy, this author knows how to write a good love story. I've been looking forward to Makai's story since the first book in the series, and he did not disappoint - a billionaire who is NOT a cocky playboy,... Continue Reading →
It's a new month, and that means there are a LOT of new Kindle deals! There are some really good books on sale that are either FREE or $1.99 or less that I've reviewed over the past year, so now's the time to snatch them up! I've collected a list of some of the best... Continue Reading →
It's been awhile since I've read anything by Samantha Chase, and her Roadtripping series seems like the perfect one to jump back into! Light and sexy with forced proximity sounds right up my alley. These covers are so unique, and the blurbs sound great! Get all the details below. New York Times bestselling author Samantha... Continue Reading →
I wish I knew how much I was going to love the second half of this book when I was reading the first, because I had already disconnected from the story by the time I got there. Kristen Callihan is one of my favorite authors and enemies to lovers is my absolute favorite trope, so... Continue Reading →
Lots of good stuff coming next week! New releases include a light and fun office romance from Sara Ney, a single dad sports romance from Stacey Lynn, an angsty western romance from Kelly Elliott, and an emotional romance from Shari J. Ryan - so a little something for everyone! Check out the blurbs below for... Continue Reading →
I was kinda stingy with my 5-star ratings in March, but the books that managed to rise to the challenge were EXCELLENT, and they're from a pretty eclectic bunch of authors. It seems like the books I was looking forward to the most let me down, and the ones that snuck under my radar rose... Continue Reading →
Well... it looks like I've found myself a new author for quick and sexy sports romances! This was light and steamy with a hero who is a lovable former playboy with a heart of gold. While part of a series, it easily stands on its own - I read this one first, and now I'm... Continue Reading →
Royal romance done the Piper Rayne way, this has a LOT of heat, a great group of friends, and a heavy dash of emotion that's unexpected from this usually funny duo. Though I associate Piper Rayne with light, fun reads, that's not the vibe of this one - our heroine has a complicated past that... Continue Reading →
Second chance romance done right, this has a small town feel with characters you'll like - even with the amount of history between them. Anyone who follows my reviews knows that I am tough on second chance romances, so the fact that I strongly considered giving this 5 stars speaks volumes. No, this couple's relationship... Continue Reading →
Get ready to fan yourself, because this is one smoking hot ride. Lauren Landish always brings the sexy, but this is definitely the steamiest book I've read from her in a long time. It's got the small town, country charm of the rest of the series, but Brody is not your momma's cowboy - he... Continue Reading →
The first book in this series was seriously good, so reading this was a no-brainer for me. It's light and sexy with a lot less angst than you'd expect from such a heavy storyline - baseball player recently released from prison and taking a good look at his life - with a relationship that feels... Continue Reading →
You're going to fall for this upcoming release from debut author Sarah Hogle! It's everything I love about an enemies to lovers romance... with a twist. Told entirely from the heroine's perspective, we see a relationship that was built on a shaky foundation start to crumble - and it isn't a pretty sight. When you're... Continue Reading →
I always enjoy Emma Hart's light and sexy rom coms, but... this isn't one of her better ones. My main complaint is probably how quickly the texting came and went - not that I wanted it to be a dirty book (it was actually way too focused on sex for me) - but I love... Continue Reading →
The deals are never-ending!!! With so many people stuck at home, authors are offering up their Kindle books for low or no cost. It's a great opportunity to check out some new authors and try books you wouldn't have purchased otherwise. I have added DOZENS to my collection in the last two weeks, and it... Continue Reading →
With Fuchsia as the "heroine," you know exactly what kind of book this is going to be - sexy, to the point, and full of suspense. And Nicole Snow delivers that. At about a third of the typical length of Snow's books, this wastes no time getting right into the heart of the story. It's... Continue Reading →
Piper Lawson knows how to write sexy, emotional love stories with complex characters, so I can't wait to start reading this trilogy of rock star romances! Sounds like this is going to be one crazy ride, and now we've got three great covers and the blurbs to match. Add all three to your TBR now... Continue Reading →
Not gonna lie, it was hit or miss for me with this week's new releases! There were a lot of new romances out, and some just worked better for me than others. That being said, there are a couple I'm still thinking about (I'm looking at you, From the First Verse), that I'm intrigued by... Continue Reading →
Such a FEEL GOOD, light, sweet, and SEXY read! I always look forward to Kayley Loring's books, but I knew this was going to be a good one - and I was not wrong. It's got a hero who may be a bit of a charmer, but he knows when he's found the right girl.... Continue Reading →
I think we all know why I picked this topic, lol. After being stuck inside the house for the last week, I both appreciate my husband and kind of want to throttle him - depending on the time of day. I hope you're all doing well. It's a crazy time out there in the world,... Continue Reading →
Get ready to fall for this hero; he is everything you could ever want in a guy! Tripp is a widower and single dad who is adorkable but strong at the same time. There are some really sweet (and hilarious) moments featuring him being a good dad AND a great guy, which will melt your... Continue Reading →
I have SO MANY THOUGHTS about this book that I don’t even know where to begin. Not gonna lie, I hated about 50% of it, but the other 50% was so intriguing that it had me turning the pages. I finished it in one sitting, partially because I had to know what would happen next...... Continue Reading →
So. Much. Drama. This really is a compelling series, but four books in and it still feels like insta-love. There's so much focus on external events that there's very little time devoted to the actual relationship between Seth and Laura. Every installment, I've kept on the journey, enjoying the suspense and the overall quality of... Continue Reading →
The problem with this book? I had ZERO emotional connection to the hero. Our couple didn't even come face-to-face until almost a third of the way in, and once they did, the hero was trying to stay so emotionally distant that I never felt the love. Sure, it was sexy, and there were a few... Continue Reading →
Short and steamy, this novella features the same writing quality we've come to know and love from Avery Flynn, but not the character development. It's light and sexy with obvious chemistry between the characters and a distinct insta-love vibe; a quick and fun read that doesn't delve too deep. I've definitely got my issues with... Continue Reading →
This week is a BIG week for new releases... though I have very complicated feelings about some of them! You'll get the full scoop when the reviews start hitting the blog, but some of this week's new releases were REALLY difficult to rate. Not all 3 or 4 or 5-star reviews are equal, and that's... Continue Reading →
I really, really struggled with the writing style on this one. A lot of my favorite books come from this publisher, so I didn't hesitate to check out this new-to-me author, but the extremely internalized, clean, and subdued writing felt more like one of my grandma's romance novels than something from 2020. That combined with... Continue Reading →
The newest from Nicole Snow is coming this week and it's sure to be action-packed! Just when you thought things we're quieting down in Heart's Edge, Fuchsia is going to bring on the trouble. Check out the blurb and giveaway link below! I recently featured this Heroes of Heart's Edge series on my list of... Continue Reading →
What can I say? I find surfing Amazon to be very relaxing, lol. So I've uncovered EVEN MORE great deals and freebies on Kindle books. This post works the same as the last one - I’ve made it really easy for you to load up your Kindle. Each picture is actually a link, so if... Continue Reading →
There has never been a better time to fill up your Kindle with cheap, quality romances. It seems like every day another author is offering their books at a reduced price - or free - so that readers stuck at home have something to keep them occupied. I've collected a bunch of these deals in... Continue Reading →
I love this series of new adult romances from Sara Ney, so I will gobble up any Douchebag story she wants to send our way. This novella is the newest addition to the series, and the just-unveiled cover is scandalously perfect (seriously, that D could not be moved at all). Looking forward to reading this... Continue Reading →
Some great light and sexy reads released this week, which is good timing given all that's going on in the world right now. If you're looking for something that will brighten your day, there are some solid candidates here! It was a busy release week, but next week is bursting at the seams with new... Continue Reading →
This sweet and heartwarming book saves all the drama for the end, with a light, low angst feel and a hero who is almost too good to be true. The writing is solid and the story one that's incredibly relatable. This former firefighter is now a sexy single dad whose love for his daughter shines... Continue Reading →
Adorable and sexy all at once, this second chance romance features a combination of humor and heart. Orgeron will make you fall for this hero, whose singleminded focus on getting his wife back is downright endearing. He knows he messed up in the past, and there is nothing that will stop him from making things... Continue Reading →
So adorably sweet and sexy! I love that when I start a book by Krista Sandor, I know exactly what I'm going to get - a light, fun, and steamy story with characters who might take a little while to grow on me. And that is exactly the case here. When I first started reading... Continue Reading →
The newest book in this series of sports romances, Down and Dirty, was one of my favorite books of the month, so I am more excited than ever to continue reading about these Hot Jocks! The cover for Taking His Shot was just unveiled, and it fits right into the look of the series. Check... Continue Reading →
We're nearing the end of the quarter and everyone could use a good book recommendation right about now, so I thought it'd be the perfect time to look back on my favorite reads so far this year. Considering I've already read almost 100 (crazy, right?) books in 2020, let's say this is the top 10%... Continue Reading →
There may be a lot going on in the world right now, but that doesn't mean there aren't great books on the horizon!!! Some fantastic romance novels are on the way, so check out the previews below and add some new books to your TBR! Easy to Fall by Willow Winters I'm looking forward to... Continue Reading →
I love this team of authors, so I was so excited to see the cover of their upcoming release, Happily Letter After, revealed today. The blurb's got my interest piqued, and it flew onto my TBR. It releases October 20th! BLURB: From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a love story about... Continue Reading →
This second chance romance is light and funny with just a touch of angst - and it releases in three days! I read my ARC without having seen the cover, and now that I have, I think it fits the story perfectly. This set of divorced parents somehow find themselves remarried after a quickie Vegas... Continue Reading →
A complete and utter DELIGHT to read, I loved this from the first page to the last. It’s got one incredibly memorable meet cute, so many funny moments, and chemistry that sparks off the page. I wasn’t even expecting the forced proximity, which just heightened all of the emotions and pushed this couple to open... Continue Reading →
Fair warning: this is part two of an OUTSTANDING duet, so if you haven't read the first book, check out that review here. This had a lot to live up to after a fantastic first half... and it did not disappoint. Filled with sexual tension and a complex relationship that evolves over time, this draws... Continue Reading →
Not gonna lie, I found this to be incredibly frustrating to read. There is no denying that Corinne Michaels is a talented writer, infusing this with so much emotion and creating characters you can root for. There are some sweet and tender moments that will give you all the feels, and the depth of emotion... Continue Reading →
Have a little extra free time on your hands? Start reading one of these series today and the hours will fly by. They're all addictive, engrossing, and well written with characters you'll want more of. From sports romances to rom coms to emotional reads, there's something for every mood. I've leaned heavier on the light... Continue Reading →
If you’ve been following my reviews for awhile, you may have noticed that, well, this is awkward... I don’t actually like second chance romances. Yes, we’re talking about my LEAST favorite trope - possibly only surpassed by the dreaded SECRET BABY. So you'd better believe that if I rate a second chance romance 5 stars,... Continue Reading →
This was a busy week for new releases in romance! Some great new books came out including rom coms from Max Monroe and Melanie Moreland, sports romances from Kendall Ryan and Meghan Quinn, as well as more serious reads from Lauren Layne and Catherine Bybee, just to name a few. One or more of these... Continue Reading →
I kinda love this cover for the upcoming release by Shari J. Ryan! Though I’m more familiar with Ryan’s rom coms, I was introduced to her serious side with the first book in this series, Bourbon Love Notes. That book was emotional and moving, a story about finding love after loss. This is a standalone... Continue Reading →
The first book in this series was light and sweet with hints of sexy, so I'm looking forward to reading this one. New dad plus pro athlete? Works for me! If you can't wait until April 7th when the book releases, check out the SNEAK PEEK below. Sneak Peek: My thighs burn from the quick... Continue Reading →
I'm loving this cover and the blurb sounds really good. Best friend's older brother AND a military romance - who doesn't love that? Looking forward to the upcoming release from Tia Louise - get the details below! Release Date: April 20 BLURB: Sawyer LaGrange. He’s my best friend’s older brother. He’s quiet, brooding, sexy as sin…... Continue Reading →
I've gotta say... this was nothing like I expected it to be, but everything I could've wanted. Something had me believing that this would be a heavier, more emotional read, but it is anything but. This sweet and tender (though still plenty sexy) romance has a lightness about it that pairs well with the doses... Continue Reading →
Sweet, SEXY, and a little serious, this sports romance has depth without being too heavy. Featuring a couple who found the right person at the wrong time, it's got some seriously smoking chemistry, characters who are easy to like (Cory is all sort of adorable), and a touch of heartache. I'm not gonna lie, I... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite releases of the month, the newest from Max Monroe is out now and only 99¢ for a limited time. Full book review to come, but I can tell you that it starts with the line, "A complete and utter DELIGHT to read..." if that gives you any clues about it's rating.... Continue Reading →
Have I mentioned how much I love this cover? It's really got me wanting to read this new release from Kylie Scott. The premise is intriguing and her writing is held in high regard, so it's got all the ingredients of a good read. The Rich Boy released this week, but if you haven't checked... Continue Reading →
This has all the bones of a good romance novel, but unfortunately there were more things that I disliked than things I liked. Let's start with the good - I actually really grew to like the hero, who starts out being a real jerk but develops such deep feelings for our heroine that I couldn't... Continue Reading →
