A very solid start to a brand new series, this quick and sexy forbidden romance introduces plenty of characters that I'd like to get to know better. I love the team aspect, and I'm already looking forward to a few of the love stories that are coming up next. The love story in this particular... Continue Reading →

As someone who has watched You’ve Got Mail more times than I’m willing to admit, I can say with all honesty - and much enthusiasm - that this captures the EXACT sweet, swoony, adorable vibe of the film that has held a special place in my heart for years. I loved it. It feels very... Continue Reading →

Falling for the bad guy has never been easier than in this dark-ish mafia romance. I'll be honest, the instalove is a LOT to handle - this is love at first sight, plain and simple. That holds this back from being a 5-star read (along with a few pacing issues), but it's another great addition... Continue Reading →

If you're looking for a quick and sexy small town romance, this is a solid pick. It's kinda predictable with a few clichés that I rolled my eyes at (a protective sheriff who has "rules" for his dating life and likes a lot of dirty talk that involves what a "bad girl" his woman has... Continue Reading →

There was something missing for me with this fake relationship romance, but it's solid overall. It has the author's distinct vibe - sweet yet steamy, with likable characters and plenty of charm. Fans of the series will appreciate the peeks at past characters, while new readers will have no problem jumping right in. I liked... Continue Reading →

Eh, this never won me over, but the writing is solid. It's the characters that drag this down: our heroine feels a bit weak/naive/overly forgiving, and our hero really needs to see a therapist. I wouldn't date him, lol, and I wouldn't put up with his behavior - despite a few sweet moments and a... Continue Reading →

I made the mistake of underestimating how much I was going to enjoy this, and ended up reading WAY too late into the night because of that. I absolutely loved it! This slow-burning, subtle romance is deeper and richer than I anticipated, with a somewhat somber tone that just works for the story. It’s as... Continue Reading →

The comedy in this lighthearted rom com is a WIN... but the romance is a definite fail. I’m being generous with this rating, because the writing style is unique and vibrant enough to (mostly) make up for the (many) deficits in the relationship development. The writing is fresh, fun, and exceedingly low angst, making this... Continue Reading →

I wish that I had enjoyed this more, because it's pretty adorable. Both lead characters are sweethearts, and their romance has the kind of meet cute that I LOVE. There's a lot of good stuff going on in the second half, but it had unfortunately already lost me at that point. Our heroine's complete and... Continue Reading →

There's something about this author's writing that is just so completely devourable - I ALWAYS read her books in one sitting. This was another bingeable romance, and though I did NOT love every moment of it, I was 100% hooked the whole way through. I read this at an alarming rate, and I may have... Continue Reading →

Not my favorite in the series, but I liked it. I've been LOVING the Summersweet series and this is probably my least favorite so far, but that still makes it a very solid rom com. This group of friends stole my heart in the first book, and I look forward to every visit back to... Continue Reading →

The hate is PALPABLE in this enemies to lovers romance, with so much snarky banter that you'll need to be fully caffeinated in order to keep up. I was wholly unprepared for the level of sexual tension - I loved the amount of dialogue and the sizzling chemistry, which absolutely jumped off the page. These... Continue Reading →

Phenomenal - a tense, sexy, intimate treat. Walker might just be my favorite MQ hero EVER. And that's saying something, because she excels at writing alpha heroes with gooey marshmallow centers. I absolutely ADORED this grumpalicious hero; he's a beast of a man on the outside, but so, so SWOONY once you get to know... Continue Reading →

Oh man, this started out so strong, but then... it unraveled. I'm not entirely convinced that this couple SHOULD get back together, nor am I convinced that things will work out this time around. And that's a big problem in a second chance romance, lol. But I really LOVED some of the concepts that are... Continue Reading →

When I made the leap from paperbacks to digital, this author's books were some of the first to hook me in. I've read and enjoyed nearly all of her contemporaries, and I loved the first book in this series when it came out... almost four years ago. I've probably read about a thousand other romance... Continue Reading →

My love for this one snuck up on me. While I've heard good things about Cherry's work, this is the first book of hers that I've read - and I wasn't convinced that I was loving it at the start. Our hero was a bit of a hot mess (with a terrible girlfriend), the tone... Continue Reading →

Three strikes, and I’m out. I REALLY struggled to connect to this book, but it’s such a highly anticipated read that I initially figured that it was just me. I set it down twice, and when I still wasn’t connecting on my third attempt, I started skimming. Things did not improve. From the start, I... Continue Reading →

A HUGE improvement over the first book in the series, this light and steamy love story is everything that I look forward to from this author's work. While reading The Rebel, I was drawn to the heroine's broody ex, who earned a bad rep in that book. I wasn't sure that I particularly liked Alex... Continue Reading →
