This took awhile to hook me in, but it gets better and better as the story progresses. These two are absolute FIRE together, so the first half is scorching with some serious sexual tension and some great fan-worthy scenes. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of sex with "no feelings," and this stayed in that... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Josh and Gemma Make a Baby by Sarah Ready 🎧
Anytime I’m up til three in the morning bingeing - straight up DEVOURING - a romance, you know it’s a great one. And I did exactly that with this. Ready is a new-to-me author, but something about the blurb had me really excited for this, so I turned on the audiobook as soon as it... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The One Night by Meghan Quinn 🎧
Well this was a little tease of a novella! I listened to the audio version, and it was a quick, playful introduction to the full-length story that will follow in The Reunion - meaning you do NOT get a happy ever after or any sort of resolution to the story, but this makes it clear...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Homecoming King by Penny Reid
Slow burn lovers, this one's for you! And the best news? This is a complete standalone, so if you're new to Penny, it's the perfect place to jump in. This HEA requires some patience and the journey to get there might make you want to shake some sense into the heroine, but I loved the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Screwed Up by Harloe Rae
Easily my new favorite from Rae, this was chemistry-filled and STEAMY, with great banter and a lighthearted, playful feel. She's taken the heat up a notch with this one, leading with the lust before slowly simmering into love. After reading Washed Up, I was excited to read Dane's story, because I could just tell that... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Bull by Deborah Bladon
Another light and sexy romance from this author - and a very solid series starter. I love a good "fake" marriage romance, and this was a fun one. These two have great chemistry, and I loved all of the bickering/bantering between them, though the transition from boss/employee-coerced wife to saccharine sweet love was way too... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Western Waves by Brittainy Cherry
I was really looking forward to this, but it's a no from me. I'm not going to be able to explain my rating without at least a few spoilers, so that's your warning. Just know that it started off well and then unraveled quickly. The story follows Stella, a woman who has a series of... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Sweet Talk by Cara Bastone 🎧
Everything that I could want from a low angst listen - the audio version is fantastic. Storyline-wise, this probably would've been a 4-star read for me, but the audio was so good that it pushed my rating higher. It's under 6 hours and easy to devour in one sitting, with a feel good story that... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Washed Up by Kandi Steiner
I absolutely loved this swoony hero, but the whole book is about the age gap, and that's just tedious after awhile. This series starter kicks things off with a forbidden romance that's VERY slow burning, angsty, and almost laidback. It's Kandi taken down a notch - yes, there's angst and drama, but I didn't feel... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Stone Cold Notes by Julia Wolf
Fantastic writing from Wolf, as always, but the hero wasn't a great fit for me and I had some definite issues with this. After an EXCELLENT first book in the series, I was so excited to dive into Callum's story. He's a silent, broody, rock star whose mysterious nature had me so intrigued. And he... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese
He gives me a disbelieving side-glance. “I told Siri to play a music station, Gabriella, not get on her knees.” You've Got Mail is one of my favorite rom coms and I adore Liese's writing, so I feel like... maybe this book was meant for me? I don't know, but it was certainly holiday goodness... Continue Reading →
