Such an adorable read! This is sweet with a touch of sexiness, pairing an injured rugby player with a single mom and her outgoing son. It's a feel good romance with low angst and plenty of sexual tension, and I loved this hero. He's a man who has been in the spotlight but craves the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Power Couple by Laramie Briscoe
A very solid start to this couple's journey! It's sexy and swoony with just a touch of sweetness. And, yes, this does end on a major CLIFFHANGER. I've been meaning to check out this author's work for awhile now, and this rock star romance will definitely have me coming back for more. I wasn't so... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Best Friends Don’t Kiss by Max Monroe
Heavy on the friends and light on the lovers, this was SUPER cute, low angst, and fun. As with all of this writing duo's books, the story has plenty of humor and will put a smile on your face throughout. I did think that this was more slow than slow burn at times, with more... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: A Holiday Lift by Corinne Michaels
This was cute, with a few angsty moments and some sugary sweet ones to even things out. Easily read in an hour or less, this short story will get you in the holiday spirit and even warm up a cold evening. I remember reading Dean and Holly's short (VERY short) story when it originally released,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Dashing Through the No by Tara Sivec
I can honestly say that I've never read a love story quite like this one. It's quirky, funny, ridiculous, and an eye-rolling, head-shaking, good time. I won't say that I necessarily fell for these characters, but it was really nice to get a deeper look at their relationship. Bodhi and Tess have been a couple... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Make Me Yours by Melanie Harlow
So emotional - but worth it! This one definitely had me ready to shake both leads a few times, but only because I was invested in their love story and frustrated that they just couldn't figure things out. It's a small town romance with plenty of heat, featuring two characters who are genuinely good people.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Hard Love by Sara Ney
Awkward romance at its best! And that's a compliment, by the way. Ney always writes such smile-inducing rom coms, filled with banter, playful moments, and scenes that you will not find anywhere else. This romance isn't super deep, but it's fun from start to finish. I devoured it at an alarming rate and didn't even... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Home for Christmas by Mika Jolie
What a sweet novella! I love a good marriage in trouble romance, and this quick, emotional story is a great example. These two are clearly still in love with each other, and neither one has done anything irreparable to the relationship, so there's still hope for them yet. Add in a little meddling from family,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Ruin by L.A. Cotton
I'm in the minority on this one, I know I am. But I just didn't love it. Though technically a standalone, the story relies heavily on the reader already being emotionally invested in these characters based on the trilogy that precedes this (which follows another couple). We miss out on the flirting, the first hookup,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Lost Without You by Lea Coll
Having read the first book in this series of interconnected standalones, I expected this romance to go in a whole other direction, but I enjoyed it all the same. When we were introduced to Avery, she was constantly bickering with her new landlord, so I was looking forward to a lot of conflict when they... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Mistletoe Trap by Cindi Madsen
That cover is straight up ADORABLE, and I've read solid books by this author in the past, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this holiday romance. But... it might just be the least romantic, least Christmasy holiday romance I've ever read. The only real chemistry that develops between these lifelong friends comes... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Office Grump by Nicole Snow
A Snow romance WITHOUT suspense? Blasphemy! Well, honestly, I kinda liked that it was so different from her usual - at least in some ways. I seriously have no idea how this author writes so quickly, because her books are LONG and they come out frequently. I'll admit to being a little burned out on... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: See Me After Class by Meghan Quinn
Intensely sexy, tension-filled, and bursting at the seams with comedic moments, this felt like something different from Quinn while still retaining everything that makes her books consistently excellent. If you'd described this hero to me prior to reading, I'm not sure that would've had much enthusiasm for him, but Arlo is the kind of guy... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: One Last Time by Roxie Noir
I feel STRONGLY about this couple - and most of the time, not in a good way. Their relationship is toxic, emotional, and SUPER angsty for much of the story, but the writing is excellent and I just could not put the story down. I've been loving this series, and all of my favorite components... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Just One Kiss by J. Saman
This little holiday treat caps off a fantastic year of reads from this author. While I didn't enjoy it as much as her full-length books (this hero might've been too tortured for a novella), it's a quick and STEAMY holiday read. I loved the forced proximity, the emotion, and there's definitely never a dull moment.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: So Wrong, It’s Wright by Amelia Kingston
I REALLY like this author's writing style, but can't say that I'm in love with the way the story revealed itself in this short and steamy novella. Would I have preferred a full-length book with these characters? 100%. My main complaint would be that I feel like a few more scenes were needed to flesh... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Christmas Blanket by Kandi Steiner
Sexy and emotional, this little novella packs a punch! I'm seriously impressed with how complete this second chance romance feels - the forced proximity and established history between our couple mean that the focus is on them getting to know one another again. It's light one minute and emotional the next, but there's a heartwarming,... Continue Reading →
