This quick and cute holiday romance sits somewhere between three and four stars for me - I liked it, but it's already fading from my memory. The light and easy feel made the story fly by, and I'm definitely interested in checking out the other two books in the series - they might make more... Continue Reading →
A second chance romance that I actually liked? It must be the holiday cheer in the air! I'm always a little wary of second chance romances, but a book buddy recommended this Christmas read, and I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad that I did! It's longer than a novella, shorter than a... Continue Reading →
What a sweet and sexy Christmas treat! Longer than a novella but not quite a novel, this low angst holiday romance had me smiling by the end. It has a little bit of a slow start, but once our Scrooge of a hero shows his sweeter side, it was a whole lot of fun. It's... Continue Reading →
I wanted to love this, I really did. And the writing IS great… but I just didn’t like the hero. I didn’t find his particular brand of grump appealing, and the neighbors with benefits storyline didn’t do much to endear him to me. The writing is excellent as always; the physical chemistry is most definitely... Continue Reading →
There’s a reason why I’ve been one-clicking J.T.’s books without hesitation for years, and she just keeps getting better and better. I never know where the story will lead, but I’m always eager to hang on for the ride. This series has been blazing hot and immensely compelling, so this had a lot to live... Continue Reading →
It started off so well, but there is just way, WAY too much going on in this novella - there are simply not enough pages to do any of the storylines justice. There’s a strangers to lovers romance, a suspenseful element, descriptions of both lead characters’ jobs, AND a random subplot dealing with an elderly... Continue Reading →
It... wasn't great. Not terrible, but not all that good either. I've been enjoying this series because each novella is a fun little under-100-page Christmas treat, but this year's installments definitely miss the mark in the romance department. This hero goes from a total jerk to a total sweetheart in the blink of an eye,... Continue Reading →
It was always going to take a great book to make me love this playboy prince after his off-putting introduction in the series starter, and this just wasn't that. While I did like Breck more than anticipated, our couple doesn't actually spend a lot of time on the page together, so it felt like the... Continue Reading →
"She’s toxic. But to me, she’s a balm. And I’m fatal. But to her, I’m life." Whoa boy, this was a lot to handle - and I absolutely LOVED it! I completely ignored real life for two straight days and just dove into this immersive, intense, hot, violent, and exhilarating read. I don't know how... Continue Reading →
Just like a sexy Hallmark movie! This was a light, upbeat holiday read with a touch of steam and a laidback romance. It's an interesting length - more than a novella, but it didn't quite feel like a complete novel either. That's the only place where it loses points for me - I keep expectations... Continue Reading →
Easily this writing duo's best release of 2021, this green card marriage romance is both hilarious and hot. It's got some sizzling chemistry, and this couple is GREAT together. The further I got into the book, the more I loved it - this leads with the lust before slowly transitioning into the love, and the... Continue Reading →
Just like Spoiler Alert, this slow burn romance has such a unique feel. It tackles subjects that aren’t commonly found in romance, with a vibe that is distinct and original. Personally, it took me a little while to get into the writing style; there’s just something about it that’s difficult for me to engage with,... Continue Reading →
This had everything I could want in a short and sexy holiday novella - chemistry, playfulness, and some lighthearted Christmas fun. While the first in this trio of seasonal novellas left me wanting more, I enjoyed this one from start to finish. The romance is much more prominent, the characters are more compelling, and the... Continue Reading →
Go read the other A Very Bossy Christmas instead (find it here), this one is a hot mess. The hero is a steamrolling jerk whose thoughts and personality change from one moment to the next. I'll give you an example: "It’s probably good her personality instantly kills my raging hard on whenever she walks into... Continue Reading →
I can already picture this as a movie, and it would be GREAT. It's got serious Bridget Jones vibes, pairing classic rom com moments with a healthy dose of reality. Our heroine is the star of the show, and she's convinced that she knows exactly what type of guy she wants. But as the book... Continue Reading →
I’ll offer up the unpopular opinion on this one, because - while I liked it - I can easily identify some things that really bugged me. There's a lot to love about this, from the vulnerable hero to the banter to the sense of community. While this will technically read as a standalone, anyone who... Continue Reading →
Welcome back to Reindeer Falls! I loved the first three novellas in this fun and sexy holiday romance series - they're all quick, easy reads with sugar and spice and everything nice. Elves with Benefits is the first of this year's group, and it sets everything up perfectly. We've got a group of three friends,... Continue Reading →
Surprisingly, I was cool with this age gap romance. I'll be honest and say that I was a little skeptical when I realized it was a daughter's best friend romance, but these two were sweet (and sexy) together. Our heroine is nearly thirty, our hero is pushing fifty, and they've had years to get to... Continue Reading →
Don't let that cute cover fool you - this is SMOKIN' HOT, with sexual tension dripping from every page. I was HOOKED from the start, and I devoured it at an alarming rate, even for one of Quinn's rom coms. And this IS a rom com, albeit a very tense and steamy one. I loved... Continue Reading →
Someone grab a fire extinguisher - these two are HOT together. While I didn't swoon over the emotional connection in this rock star romance, I definitely felt the physical connection. It's tense and steamy with some great moments, and Rowe's excellent writing shines throughout. This rock star doesn't know what hit him when the girl... Continue Reading →
Such a feel good read! After the heavy storyline of How to Fail at Flirting, I really wasn't sure what to expect going into The Fastest Way to Fall - but it was sweet, swoony, slow burn goodness. The hero is ADORABLE, and I absolutely loved the strong, resilient heroine. They have a relationship that... Continue Reading →
