WOW, talk about a powerful start to the series! My love for this book snuck up on me, because I wasn't sure that I was enjoying it at the beginning, but I was also completely engrossed in the story. Sometimes I think the mark of a great book is when you want to throttle the... Continue Reading →

Such a heartfelt, emotional read! Coll is one of those authors whose work gets better and better every time I read one of her books. I seriously considered a 5-star rating for this one, and honestly, there's not much holding me back from giving it one. The story is realistic, relatable, sweet with just a... Continue Reading →

Heartfelt and emotional, this love story may be part of a romantic suspense series but its focus is on finding love after loss. Pairing a new widow with the man who was on the mission that took her husband's life, it's a somewhat somber and serious read that will tug on your heartstrings. If you're... Continue Reading →

Like many of the other romance lovers out there, I watched the Crazy Rich Asians movie when it was released, so I jumped at the opportunity to check out more of the author's work. Unfortunately, I could tell right away that this story was not really for me. There are a lot of characters to... Continue Reading →

I won't sugarcoat it; this isn't up to the standards that I expect from Jenshak's work. The quality of the writing is still there, but the storyline is kind of all over the place. I can't say that I ever really felt the chemistry, and some of the bumps on this road to happily ever... Continue Reading →

Blakely never disappoints, and this light, sexy, friends to lovers romance is no exception. It reads quickly, has plenty of playful moments, and just enough steam to keep things sexy. These two have been denying their feelings for each other for a very long time, but there’s an obvious connection and easy conversation that comes... Continue Reading →

I knew within the first few pages that I was going to LOVE this one, with its slightly ridiculous, playful feel and a storyline that kept me guessing. It's my first from the author but I will definitely be going back for more, because this was so entertaining from start to finish. The storyline is... Continue Reading →

I love a determined hero! That's got to be my favorite part about this light and steamy romance. Our hero has been crushing on his best friend's sister for nearly a decade, and he has no plans to miss his shot this time around. It's sexy, very low angst, and reads quickly. If you're not... Continue Reading →

Surrender absolutely FLEW BY! It has the kind of 5-star banter that makes you forget things like instalove and settle into the story. You won't have any trouble reading this in one sitting (I devoured it very quickly), and those who haven't read the rest of the Seaside Pictures series won't have any problem reading... Continue Reading →

This book proves that it’s possible to fall for a writing style but also hate the words that are written. By that I mean that I really enjoyed the way the author writes, but I just couldn’t get behind the story. Cheating is a pretty hard limit for me, so I found the actions of... Continue Reading →

It's not often that I'm so taken aback by a twist that it makes me look back at every scene with fresh eyes and contemplate rereading the book immediately, but that's exactly what happened with this one. Nathan did an excellent job laying down the foundation, ratcheting up the tension until I was on edge,... Continue Reading →

What a mysterious, seductive read! The start of a tempting new trilogy (yes, this ends on a major CLIFFHANGER), A Reckless Note will get you hooked on this love story. It's sexy and compelling, filled with secrets that unravel slowly, and centered around a relationship that I want more of. This installment is told exclusively... Continue Reading →

I really loved the playful, vibrant writing style in this! It's my first time reading something from the author, but her reputation and that adorable cover drew me in. I'll be the first to admit that friends with benefits-style relationships are not my thing, but Hibbert makes it obvious that there's so much more to... Continue Reading →

If you haven’t tried Saman’s work yet, it’s time to change that! There’s an intensity to her writing that hooks you in and doesn’t let go until the last page. Even when I was torn about some of the elements in this dark romance, she had me reeled into the story. It’s darker than I... Continue Reading →

This is the kind of light and easy romance that you can read in one sitting and enjoy every page. It’s low angst and sexy with likable characters and a storyline that’s familiar but done in Flynn’s own way. While I’ve read plenty of her work in the past, I’m not caught up on this... Continue Reading →

In case you're wondering.... there is a LOT of cheating in this. I felt gross about the relationship from the first 10% of the book on, because our "heroine" was having dirty dreams about her sister's guy after only a 5 minute conversation with him. I pretty much loathed her the entire time. The writing... Continue Reading →

Not gonna lie... this was pretty disappointing. I've heard great things about this author's writing, so I jumped at the chance to read a "fun, flirty" second chance romance. And the writing is good - there were moments that had solid chemistry, an obvious connection, and fun dialogue. But that didn't overcome all of the... Continue Reading →

We'll call this one 5 stars with an asterisk, because I enjoyed it way too much to rate it any lower, but there were definitely a couple of things that bugged me (more on that in a minute). Tijan is an excellent writer, so the words just flowed and the story was engrossing from the... Continue Reading →

What a delightfully refreshing read! P. Dangelico is one of those authors whose work I can one-click without hesitation, knowing I'm in for a good romance. Whether it's something angsty or something light, she's great at putting her readers through a whole range of emotions. This one is definitely on the lighter side - it's... Continue Reading →

Steamy and sweet, this friends to lovers romance features a biker with a big heart. I won't lie to you - the beginning of this was a struggle for me. For a book that's the start of a new series, it really doesn't feel like a standalone. There are a LOT of characters to keep... Continue Reading →

This was SO GOOD! It’s my first time reading something by Sorensen, and I might just need to go a little one-click crazy on her books, because it was FLAWLESS from start to finish. Twin swaps are a guilty pleasure trope of mine because they can play out in a variety of ways and there’s... Continue Reading →

Definitely one of the better books I’ve read by this author! You can depend on Reynolds for light, low angst reads with loving and protective alpha males. She’s not breaking the mold with her books, but is delivering solid, easy romances that read quickly and wash away the troubles of your day. I loved this... Continue Reading →

Low angst and playful with an adorably awkward hero, this flies by. I read it in one sitting and there was never a dull moment. Ney writes great dialogue, and this has her signature humor mixed with a relationship that doesn't follow the normal progression. The meet cute is unique, the characters original, and the... Continue Reading →

Have you ever read a book that's so bad that it's almost good? Like a car wreck you just can't take your eyes off of? That's where I'm at with this one. I couldn't make myself stop reading it, and there were times when I really, really wanted to. But the writing style is actually... Continue Reading →

I love Max Monroe’s rom coms. I hate secret babies. So you can understand the dilemma I’m in with this book. It’s got everything I love about Monroe’s work - light, fun moments, interesting characters, quirky humor, and an unpredictable storyline - but I really struggled to get onboard with some of the plot. It’s... Continue Reading →

She's outdone herself this time. This book is DEVASTATING in both the best and worst way. It's got an emotional impact that will knock you out, and Quinn has the skills to put you back together again. I loved, LOVED the depth of this relationship. These two are lifelong friends who have had each other's... Continue Reading →

There's some seriously great banter and chemistry in this strangers to lovers romance. It sparks off the page and combusts during the steamy scenes. I love a grumpy hero, and this moody, broody biker definitely qualifies. Ford has spent most of his life avoiding human interaction, so he has no idea what to do with... Continue Reading →

This is one of those books where I went into it thinking it was going to be one kind of story and it ended up being another. It's not bad, but it's also not what I was hoping it would be, so there was a level of disappointment that lingered throughout. While the cover and... Continue Reading →

Hold on a second, I might still be having chest pains from all of the ANGST in that ending. Man, this was good. It sort of snuck up on me - this is not my first time reading one of Leigh’s emotional reads, so I knew I was in for something good, but the beginning... Continue Reading →

I look forward to every book in this series, and Game Changer was no exception. It’s a sweet and sexy friends to lovers romance that’s as subtle as it is heartwarming. Jamieson does a great job building intimacy, writing those small moments that move a relationship forward through dialogue and steamy scenes where you can... Continue Reading →

What a great way to end the series! This wraps everything up in a beautiful, heartwarming little bow, but is still enough of a standalone that if you aren't caught up on the series, you won't have any difficulty jumping right in. Jordie is the last man standing; a hockey player who has seen the... Continue Reading →

This took a completely different path than I expected, but it’s a really heartwarming read. Undoubtedly, the hero steals the show here; there were a couple of moments early on where I thought he might break my heart, but I should’ve trusted the author. It’s an ANGSTY, heart-wrenching journey to happily ever after, crafted with... Continue Reading →

Short and not so sweet, this delivers on its promise to be steamy with a touch of the forbidden. It’s got Whitney G’s distinctive writing style - a light feel that reads quickly, solid dialogue, and plenty of steamy moments - pared down to only the essentials. We get a feel for the relationship via... Continue Reading →

Finding love at a mature age has never been so sexy! I’ve been meaning to check out T. Gephart’s quirky rom coms for awhile now, and this was such a fun read. I loved this hero with a heart of gold - it was easy to see that he’s a great catch, and so endearing... Continue Reading →

Such a sweet and sexy read! This is my first time reading something by either of these authors, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was a light, heartwarming read from start to finish. It features an adorably awkward hero who will steal your heart, with plenty of steamy moments, and very little... Continue Reading →

I loved all of the banter in this light and sexy rom com! Teagan Hunter excels at writing dialogue, so you could feel the chemistry as these two strangers become lovers. It's a fake relationship romance where our couple takes the "getting to know you" period seriously, and it's a solid, low angst read. I... Continue Reading →

Okay... WOW. This started enticingly sweet then slowly shifted into an engrossingly addictive read that had me staying up late to devour it. It’s my first from the author - and I’ll definitely be back for more. Which is kind of surprising given the number of things in the story that could’ve gone oh so... Continue Reading →

Sometimes I read high school romances and LOVE them. Sometimes I read them and realize I am too old to handle all of the DRAMA. This is the second kind. It’s long, it’s angsty, and it’s got drama from start to finish. If that’s how you like your romance, then I see no reason why... Continue Reading →

I'm going to call this one women's fiction, because if it's a romance then... it's an epic fail. I don't normally offer up spoilers, but if I had known (and this is the spoiler, guys) that our hero would sleep with another woman 75% of the way into the book, I wouldn't have wasted my... Continue Reading →
