This is the perfect vacation escapism everyone needs in their life, complete with a sexy Italian artist who is both loving and demanding. I loved this hero - a single dad who isn’t afraid of being open about his feelings. He’s a little too mysterious for me in the beginning, but once the reader gets... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Sweet Love by Mia Kayla
This hero... doesn't seem to understand the word NO. It's a common theme in an otherwise light and sweet book. I love a good office romance and don't normally have an issue with the dynamics, but there were several instances in this one that just didn't sit right (more on that in a minute). It's... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Hasty by Julia Kent
If you've been following along with the series, Hasty needs no introduction. While this will read as a standalone, knowing Hastings/Hasty's backstory will make it a richer reading experience. Though, there is one problem with that... this is very much Hasty's story, and I don't actually like Hasty all that much. It's all about her... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Smitten by Lauren Rowe
When your biggest complaint about a book is that it's TOO sweet... well, you're not really complaining at all, are you? This zero-angst, steamy, and downright adorable read will have you as smitten as these two characters are from the moment they meet. The instalove is... extreme. But I can't fault a book for being... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Our Way by TL Swan
When I sat down to write this review, I still wasn’t sure if this book was going to get five stars or three stars from me, that’s how strong my feelings are. Technically speaking, this is one of the best books I have read this year, hands down. But emotionally, I had a lot of... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Kiss My Putt by Tara Sivec
THIS is why I read rom coms; for those books that are smile-inducing, lighthearted, and just so much fun. I laughed, I smiled, and that slow burn just about killed me (in the best way). Kiss My Putt is exactly what you'd want from a book of that title, featuring my favorite kind of enemies... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The What If Guy by Lauren Blakely
While this most definitely is not my favorite from Blakely, it does have all of the things I love about her work - great banter, sizzling chemistry, a light/low angst feel, and a storyline that stands out from the pack. Where this one falters for me is the steam; you can definitely feel the lust... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Love & Hockey by Monty Jay
Let me start off by saying that, for a debut, this was very, very good. I see a ton of potential in the author’s work and would not hesitate to read more. While there are some storyline issues that hold me back from rating this higher, it’s a solid, emotional read that will leave you... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Shooting Star by Staci Hart
What a great introduction to this group of friends! Whether you’ve read the first full length novel in this series, Star Bright, or not, this short and playful novella will allow you to get to know these characters better. Stella is the heroine of the first book, and this provides some insight into her relationship... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Hate the Player by Max Monroe
Love all that delicious tension! This lighthearted enemies to lovers romance is filled with chemistry and humor, making the pages fly by. Our hero is a shameless playboy who has finally met his match, and sparks fly between the two right away. I loved all of the bickering that is really banter, the humor, and... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Winning My Best Friend’s Girl by Piper Rayne
Holy angsty! While I love that these authors know how to deliver tension and complicated relationships, I don't read their books for nonstop angst - and that's what this one is. These two have been dancing around their feelings for almost a decade, and the push/pull doesn't stop once they come back into each other's... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Proposal by Maya Hughes
Such a FANTASTIC start to a new series! This had all the slow burn/enemies to lovers goodness that I wanted, with a couple that I was rooting for from the very beginning. I really, really enjoyed it. The story starts out tension-filled with some serious sparks, then slowly turns into a great friends to lovers... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Rate a Date by Monica Murphy
Well that's one STEAMY rom com! Fast-paced and oh so sexy, this opposites attract romance is full of heat. It's light and easy to read in one sitting, pairing a pro football player who is tired of playing games with a good girl in need of a little spice in her life. While it started... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Flirtasaurus by Erin Mallon
This debut author has loads of potential, but I also feel like she's not quite there yet. The story is light and playful with SO MUCH quirky humor that it reached the point of too much of a good thing. By the halfway point - and one highly problematic scene involving shrooms - I was... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Star Bright by Staci Hart
A VERY solid start to a new series, this is refreshing and different with a light feel that makes the pages fly by. Featuring a heroine who has found her own kind of family while partaking in an unashamedly lavish lifestyle and a hero who is incredibly intrigued by the world he becomes immersed in,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Heart-Break Me by T.L. Smith
Talk about a dark and delicious ride! I've been meaning to check out this author's work for a while now and this was the perfect place to start. The first half of a duet (ending in one major CLIFFHANGER), it's intense and sexy with a storyline that's complex and interesting. Atlas is no one's hero... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Home to Me by Catherine Bybee
This one sits solidly between three and four stars for me. Bybee's a talented writer, so there were definitely elements that I enjoyed, but also several things that bugged me. It's sweet and somber with a touch of suspense, featuring a hero who will steal your heart. He is almost too perfect, going from an... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: A Sweet Mess by Jayci Lee
I really wish that I enjoyed this one more than I did, but... it's kind of a hot mess. While I was drawn in by the playful cover and the promising blurb, there were issues that prevented me from connecting to what should've been a fun rom com. I can't say that I loved the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Rush by Deborah Bladon
Loved the chemistry between these two! This best friend's little sister romance played out very differently than I expected - and I am completely okay with that. It's essentially a strangers to lovers romance because these two have never met before. After crashing into each other's lives in a big way, Case and Emma find... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The One Night Stand Next Door by Emma Hart
Such a sexy tease of a story! This short and not-so-sweet prequel will take you less than an hour to read, but it sets up the story perfectly. Hart gives us a feel for this couple and how things were supposed to go between them... before life gets in the way. It's light, very steamy,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: A Love Song for Dreamers by Piper Lawson
We've seen this couple grow and mature over the course of several years, stumbling every time they take a step forward and learning from it. Lawson's writing skill makes it a compelling read, drawing you in and playing with your emotions. But, if I’m being honest, I started to lose my love for this couple... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: My (Mostly) Secret Baby by Penelope Bloom
I love a grumpy boss and I also love Bloom's brand of comedy, so I took a chance on this one despite the fact that secret babies are my least favorite trope. While I didn't necessarily love that element of the storyline, there's a lot of fun humor and playfulness to this romance. It's also... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Mr. Knightsbridge by Louise Bay
Loved this hero! It's my first time reading something from this author but it definitely won't be my last, because the writing was solid, the characters were compelling, and the storyline was unique enough to hold my interest. I will warn you though - this was on track to receive an easy 5-star rating from... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Lead Me Back by CD Reiss
Have you ever read a book that you enjoyed at the time, but also knew that you'd forget about it in a few days? That's where I'm at with this one. Reiss' skilled writing keeps this from being a lackluster read, but it's not her best work. I did love this tone from her though;... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Romeo Arrangement by Nicole Snow
Full of action and lust, this is classic Nicole Snow with a twist. It's a new location, new problems, but still the same suspense and steam that she's known for. Longtime fans will enjoy the fresh take while new readers will appreciate that this reads as a standalone. Why the 3-star rating then? While the... Continue Reading →
