I’m still waiting for one of this author’s books to blow me away, but they get closer to doing so with each release. Her work feels so unique - often featuring complex, difficult storylines that are serious and emotional without being overly angsty. I loved the distinct feel of this one and adored this hero’s...

I’m not even going to tell you how late I was up reading this, but let’s just say that it was an unexpected swoony DELIGHT, and I couldn’t stop reading. Learn from my mistakes; clear your schedule and spend the day with this outstanding debut. It’s the kind of immersive, intelligent read that hooks you... Continue Reading →

If you're wondering what's next from Kendall Ryan, she's got a brand new hockey romance series coming soon - and there's a FREE prequel novella out now to get you ready! I've read it already, so I've got my review below, as well as a peek at the followup. FREE on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3t22DUF REVIEW: Hated... Continue Reading →

Well, this was a bit of a snoozefest, honestly. The beginning was GREAT, with a unique meet cute and all kinds of chemistry. It was on track to be one of my favorites from the author (who is incredibly talented), and then it all became so... sedate. I was bored. Somewhere along the way, this... Continue Reading →

Aptly named (because it's the sweetest fix of rom com goodness), this is easy to devour in one sitting. It's incredibly low angst, quick, and sexy with plenty of steam. I liked it from start to finish, but there were definitely things that rubbed me the wrong way - a slightly cheesy and unrealistic feel,... Continue Reading →

This didn't play out like I expected it to, but I liked it. I've been a fan of this author's laugh out loud rom coms for awhile now, and this is a completely different vibe from her. There's still some understated humor and lighthearted moments, but they're toned down in this story. The chaotic, overwhelmed... Continue Reading →

It's probably been at least a year since my last 1-star review, but... WOW, this was awful. As in, the male lead has a "body count" and the heroine neither knows nor cares why. As in, I think he might literally kill someone if they look at his girl the wrong way. And this is... Continue Reading →

Well, someone’s been watching a little too much Tiger King (says the person who binged it months ago, lol). This has an unexpected storyline featuring a sexy widower, a woman on the run, and... a tiger. While the freshness of the storyline was working for me in the beginning, it wasn't long before I was... Continue Reading →

This took a little while to grow on me, but once it did, I was LOVING it. I love an adorably unsure alpha who is in over his head, and that’s exactly what happens with Devon. It’s sweet and swoony with a slow burn that turns scorching later on, making this a read that will... Continue Reading →

This has got to be my favorite book from Blakely in almost a year (which, considering how many books she publishes, is saying something), and I can only attribute that to the addition of the adorably sexy male perspective. It's a quick, playful read with a whole lot of sweetness, and it absolutely flew by.... Continue Reading →

It's possible that I may have had different feelings about this book had the opening not turned me off so much. Within the first 5% of the story, Sullivan has Shelby in his handcuffs (in a sexual way) - while she's drunk enough that he assumes she won't remember in the morning. That's gonna get... Continue Reading →

Whether you choose to call this destiny or instalove, there’s no denying that this couple falls for each other in no time at all. Though it takes a few tries to get things right, they’re meant to be together. It’s the kind of light, chemistry-filled romance that feels like a bit of a whirlwind -... Continue Reading →

Here's a little raw honesty: that blurb is terrible, seriously terrible. And I say that as someone who loves this author's books. I went into this one thinking that I was reading a marriage of convenience/second chance kind of story, featuring adult characters. It's actually a high school romance, with a pretty typical good girl/rich... Continue Reading →

So heart-squeezingly adorable! Seriously, like the sweetest, cutest romance I've read in a long time. I don't read a lot of YA romance, but I loved Tweet Cute, so I didn't hesitate to give this a try. And while I wanted more Leo and Abby - like, as much Leo and Abby as I could... Continue Reading →

Want to know what I did the SECOND I finished this book? Grabbed the first two books in the series, because this was OUTSTANDING. It’s a love letter to marriage, best understood by those who’ve been in one, but no less powerful if you haven’t. It’s difficult and heart-wrenching, raw and real, and the progress... Continue Reading →

Don’t let that adorable cover fool you - this is the steamiest book I’ve read in months, and there’s very minimal comedy. It does have light, rom com-style vibes and a storyline that feels pretty fluffy, but it’s definitely not your typical rom com. For one, this features a group of proudly single, 40ish women... Continue Reading →

Is it possible to be exhausted by a book while also having all of the warm and fuzzy feelings for it? Because I think that's where I'm at with this one. I always, always look forward to Grant's books, and I loved this hero. But I'll be honest and say that I found the intensity... Continue Reading →

Who doesn't love a bad boy with a gooey, marshmallow heart? While I often struggle with manwhore heroes, there really is nothing quite like a bad boy who falls for the right girl. I love seeing a hero grapple with feelings he's unaccustomed to, trying to figure out how his life seemed to change in... Continue Reading →

It's exceedingly rare that I rate a book as 2 stars, but I had to go there with this one because it didn't work for me on any level. And that's really disappointing, because I usually love this author's work. Granted, second chance romances are often difficult for me, so I'm betting this will work... Continue Reading →

Loved the hero, hated the heroine. That kind of sums up my feelings about this childhood friends to lovers romance, which is a great read in a lot of ways, but also a frustrating one in others. The author does a lot of things oh so right - showcasing the obvious, deep love between these... Continue Reading →

So, confession time. When I started reading this, I thought I was in for a steamy, easy, palate cleanser of a read. I’ve only read one other book by this author, and it was a sexy good time - but didn't leave me wanting more. Well, then I started reading this one... and found myself... Continue Reading →

This was the low angst, adorable ending that I wanted for this series, delivering in a big way. I've been eagerly anticipating Jax and Frankie's book since they were first on the page together, and while I wasn't sure I was loving this at the beginning - I just pictured it going a different way... Continue Reading →

There's a little tongue in cheek reference to extended separations in this that made me laugh and think, "okay, this series might just be back on track." Because... yeah, I'm still mad about the last one. Thankfully, there's nothing rage-inducing about this love story - it's banter-filled, playful, and STEAMY. Don't get me started on... Continue Reading →

I was tempted... to stop reading this a few times. I've read some great books by this author, but unfortunately this is not among them. It quite literally skips over all of the parts where there's actual growth to this relationship, instead focusing on drama that's meant to be mysterious but is really kinda predictable.... Continue Reading →

For me, this is the kind of debut that starts out strong then loses steam along the way. It's a true romance, complete with an enemies to lovers style relationship and some lighthearted friction. It's got closed door intimate scenes and just a touch of sexiness, yet still feels like a modern love story. I... Continue Reading →
