This almost felt more like tragedy than romance, honestly. Love is an afterthought here - it's ALL about the baby and the family dynamics. While I have loved the rest of the series, this has a significant tonal shift that's jarring. There's ZERO relationship development before these two start banging, and I was still getting... Continue Reading →

Exactly the kind of mafia romance that I love to devour - focusing on the relationship first, with a strong, protective hero who is vulnerable and compassionate with just one woman. It reads younger and a little more like a soap opera than other mafia romances I've read (is there really a mafia school?), but... Continue Reading →

When spy meets spy, it's a whole lot of sexy fun! It took a little while for me to warm up to this one, but once these characters started to reveal more of their true selves, it got better and better. I love the concept of two undercover operatives who don't realize that they're working... Continue Reading →

Light and a little sexy, this was a low angst, easy read. I love a grumpy hero and a roommates to lovers situation always works for me, so this had a lot going for it. It feels like a sports romance, with great side characters and hints to future books. And I loved the hero,... Continue Reading →

I have read the three books before this one (the Corisi trilogy), and I was STILL confused about all of the family dynamics. As the first book in a brand new series, you'd think that it'd be easy to jump into this without needing to know the backstory. That is absolutely not the case. The... Continue Reading →

This gets a serious lip curl from me - I did not like it AT ALL. It’s very rare that I dislike a book so much within the first few chapters, but that was definitely the case here. I continued on because I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, but things did not... Continue Reading →

It's a bittersweet goodbye - I'm sad to see this group of guy friends go, because every book in this series has been great. This is my least favorite of the four, but the bar is set VERY high, so I can't be too upset about that. I love how each book had its own... Continue Reading →

I'm still mulling over my thoughts about this, but the general idea is: it didn't work for me. The level of miscommunication is CRAZY, and crazy frustrating - from start to finish. There are a few glaring omissions in the blurb that make this a completely different reading experience than expected, and not really in... Continue Reading →

This grew on me - a LOT. I'm really not a fan of MM's new habit of devoting almost a hundred pages to comedy before our couple even spends any time on the page together, so it took me a long, long time before I became invested in this romance. I'd also use a different... Continue Reading →

I loved every minute of this, from the heartbreaking prologue, to the near-constant sexual tension, to the absolutely SWOONY conclusion. I knew this was going to be something special when I was holding back tears within 5 minutes of reading, and that turned out to be completely true. The immediate ZAP of connection between these... Continue Reading →

So devourable! While this wasn’t a perfect ten for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it. There’s a light, laidback feel that makes the pages fly by, and I’ve always been a sucker for a good fake relationship romance. The Hollywood spin and forced proximity really worked for me here, and while I was often frustrated that... Continue Reading →

This started off strong but unraveled along the way, mostly because the heroine is not a good person. I found the writing style to be highly readable and a lot of fun, with an upbeat vibe and a unique storyline. I was drawn in from the start, and was looking forward to this hot mess... Continue Reading →

While definitely not my favorite from the author, this sweet yet sexy romance is pretty cute. I've been enjoying this serious and emotional series quite a bit, and this single mom/sexy contractor romance should've been right up my alley. It just wasn't. That's not to say that the quality isn't there, because it definitely is.... Continue Reading →

THIS is how you do second chance romance! It’s a trope that I tend to avoid, but every once in awhile, I'll read one that will just absolutely knock it out of the park - like this. It's deeply romantic, with the perfect amount of angst, longing, and tender moments. The sexual tension and unending... Continue Reading →

Miscommunication puts a damper on this otherwise sweet and sexy sports romance. I've never been a fan of issues that could've been resolved - years ago - with a simple conversation. This couple's history is messier than anticipated, and it felt like they wasted a lot of years for no reason. Second chance fans might... Continue Reading →

This started strong and fizzled out along the way, but I enjoyed the vast majority of it. I always look forward to this author's light, sexy romances, and this was a solid one in a lot of ways. The banter and playfulness between Bianca and Roman was great, from their meet cute until the very... Continue Reading →

If I think about my rating for too long, I'll probably drop it to 3 stars, but this was just the kind of quick, sexy, suspenseful read that I expected it to be. While it's glaringly obvious that this was written by two different people, the story is tropey goodness with a royal spin. Our... Continue Reading →

This was really cute! There was something missing for me the whole way through, but I loved the meet cute and the adorable feel of this office romance. I love a good strangers to lovers connection, and that's what we've got here; these two meet in the most unexpected of ways, and it forces our... Continue Reading →

This went live a few days early! Amazon: https://amzn.to/3vNO87r Sugary sweet with plenty of spice, this opposites attract romance was a lot of fun. I love a grumpy/sunshine romance, and I also love unique meet cutes, so this caught my attention right away. The hero is my kind of grumpalicious workaholic, and I loved watching... Continue Reading →

I'd watch the movie, but I wouldn't have picked this book for myself. Based on the description, I thought this would be a light, playful rom com - which is just my style. It's actually chick lit with a touch of romance, with only a handful of interactions between our couple and just one or... Continue Reading →

I just want to start by saying that I genuinely enjoy this author's work, but she's grown a LOT as a writer in the six years since this was developed - and it shows. This book also really needs a content warning, because the storyline features something that's a dealbreaker to many, many romance readers.... Continue Reading →

Well, I have zero interest in continuing the trilogy, so that should really tell you everything that you need to know. I didn't like it. It hits the ground running from page one, and our heroine's perspective sometimes felt scattered, leaving me confused and disconnected. There's a mysterious feel to the whole book that should've... Continue Reading →

Any book that keeps me reading until the wee hours of the morning is going to get a 5-star rating from me... even if it gets off to a rocky start. I wasn’t enjoying this at first, and I actually set it aside for a couple of weeks while I recalibrated my expectations. It’s NOT... Continue Reading →

It's the pacing that brings this otherwise light and steamy book down. While the relationship is 100% instalove, the book is REALLY long, and there are plenty of parts that drag. These two get serious quickly, so much of the story feels like unnecessary filler. I loved the connection between them and the low angst... Continue Reading →

Truth? I passed on this book - HARD - the first, second, and possibly third time that I read the blurb. It's deceptively vague, and I had visions of every other problematic, friends with benefits, new adult "romance" that I've read in the last few years, and I was NOT interested. Then a book buddy...
