I'm sad to see the series end, but this was a great way to go out. This light and steamy, tension-filled romance makes for a quick, bingeable read that easily stands on its own. I had no trouble devouring it one sitting, and I had fun the whole time. It's an interesting combination of enemies... Continue Reading →

Sorry to say that this bored me - from start to finish. I typically love HH's books and jumped at the chance to read this series starter, but if I didn't know that it was written by her, I wouldn't have known. And I would've DNF'd it without hesitation. Unfortunately, this has a VERY laidback,... Continue Reading →

I'll admit it: the marketing sold me on this one, and the writing just didn't live up to the promise. That fun, vibrant cover and catchy title definitely caught my eye, and I was looking forward to a sexual tension-filled romance, likely a slow burn. Because that's what you expect from a romance where the... Continue Reading →

This was unexpected in the BEST of ways. The nuanced storyline had me hooked from start to finish - I absolutely LOVED it! I loved how distinctive and unique it felt, with a story that gets richer and more complex as it progresses. It's funny and sexy, lighthearted and subtle - while still packing an...

I always enjoy checking in on this close-knit group of hockey players, but I knew going in that this trope wasn't a good fit for me, personally. And it wasn't. The whole sex "without feelings" arrangement/bringing out condoms before they've kissed just isn't a favorite of mine, so I was as emotionally detached from the... Continue Reading →

Lately, it seems like there are more misses than hits from this author, so I’m unsurprised that this was just okay (since I loved the last book). It’s not bad - it’s the kind of light, easy read that I was craving - but it IS pretty unremarkable. I'll probably have trouble remembering the plot... Continue Reading →

Well, this certainly gets points for originality! It's a completely fascinating storyline that - let's be honest here - you're either going to love or hate. The concept is not for everyone, but it makes for an interesting, unique read that I had no trouble bingeing in one sitting. I really loved this hero; he... Continue Reading →

I don't know about you, but a 36-year-old, commitment-phobic playboy who makes women doubt their self worth, doesn't stick around long enough to leave a phone number, never promises exclusivity, and has zero interest in developing an emotional connection... is not appealing to me. That's the biggest problem with this otherwise scorching hot romance. It's... Continue Reading →

The lightest, funniest book I've read all year certainly deserves a 5-star rating... even if it's not a cut and dry one. I loved the playfulness of this exceedingly low angst romance, and I loved the sexual tension. It's got likable characters and such a unique vibe; it's so, so easy to tell that it's... Continue Reading →

For a debut? Very solid. This light, cute romance was not a perfect fit for me, but I can definitely see the potential in the writing and look forward to future books from the author. It's low angst and sweet, a slow burn romance with just a touch of steam. Pairing a horror novelist with... Continue Reading →

Please note: this is the conclusion of a romantic suspense duet, and it picks up right where the first book left off. If you haven't read The Spy in 3B yet, you can check out my review here. If the first half of this duet is the slow burn, then this one is the SIZZLE,... Continue Reading →

So, I know this will probably be an unpopular opinion, but... I didn't like it. At all. I fully, 100%, expected to LOVE this book - and I just didn't. We get frequent reminders that our hero has been screwing around for years while fighting his feelings for the off-limits heroine (yuck), the storyline is... Continue Reading →

If we're being honest here... I'd have difficulty articulating any one thing that I liked about this, other than the sweet hero. I'm a fan of the writing style, but the storyline failed to pull me in - from start to finish. We never see the meet cute or any of this couple's chemistry from... Continue Reading →

This sweet yet sexy rom com put me in such a nostalgic mood. It's got so many great references to the rom com movies of years past, and I liked the easygoing, laidback vibe. It's perhaps a little too long and a little TOO laidback, but I enjoyed the story as a whole. This one... Continue Reading →

Not the story I was hoping for, unfortunately. While I usually enjoy Hughes' work, this one didn't strike a chord with me. Most of the relationship development happens inside the hero's head - as in, he doesn't vocalize any of his thoughts or feelings, and just acts like a jerk 95% of the time. So,... Continue Reading →

Why is there something so absolutely swoon-worthy about a grumpy werewolf of a hero showing his vulnerable side? I loved the raw intimacy in this neighbors to lovers romance, which features two broken people healing together. It pairs a fierce and resilient heroine with a lovable and hurting hero, and the combination makes for one... Continue Reading →

So let me just start by saying: absolutely do NOT read this for the romance. It's wholly unsatisfying and all kinds of cringey. However, I do like the concepts at play and women's fiction lovers might find it more palatable. I don't know, I definitely didn't, lol. The writing itself is technically decent and the...
