That cover is deceptively cute - this book is a quick and steamy treat that features a decidedly NSFW storyline involving *ahem* toy parties. The blurb implies that this is a light and sexy best friend's little sister romance (it is), but it forgets to mention the dirty stuff, lol. I had Siri reading this... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Mama’s Boy by Avery Flynn
I want more from this series, and that is always good news! Was this perfect? No, but I liked it quite a bit. Flynn's light, easy writing style makes this fly by, and the low angst storyline was a lot of fun. I loved that the premise felt unique and different; I'd have trouble describing...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Falling in Reverse by Julia Wolf
Is it HOT in here, or is it just this book? WOW, that was an intense and steamy ride! This rock star/bodyguard romance had me HOOKED from the first page, and easily kept my interest until the very end. I stayed up way, way too late reading - and I have zero regrets. This couple...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood 🎧
I loved this SO VERY MUCH. It's one of those books that left me smiling like a fool, with a full heart and a strong desire to start reading it all over again. The evolution of these characters from start to finish is intense, and I absolutely loved how everything came full circle by the... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: For Love or Honey by Staci Hart
Small town charm with a side of steam - this was cute! I love a good enemies to lovers romance and a fish out of water story is always a fun time, so this was right up my alley. The story remains light, sexy, and playful throughout, which makes it fly by. It's got humor,... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Maverick by Brenda Rothert
I'm not entirely sure how to rate this one: I liked it, but it was SO very short (2000 locations on my Kindle). As a series starter, it works well; the characters are interesting and we get a feel for the team dynamic. I liked the hero quite a bit, and he has some compelling... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Faking It With #41 by Piper Rayne
I keep going back and forth between three and four stars for this one, but there are definitely some things that I was unsatisfied with, so I'm leaning towards three. This had an uphill battle from the start, because I really, really hate the main trope - one night stand results in a baby, and... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: First Love, Take Two by Sajni Patel
I’m a VERY picky lady when it comes to second chance romances, so when one holds my attention throughout - it's a win! The obvious love and connection between these former lovers kept me hooked, and the deeper undertones of the story made it a richer experience. This has the same kind of vibe as... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Hard Fall by Brenda Rothert and Kat Mizera
Have you seen that old Josh Duhamel movie, Life as We Know It? Then you've got an idea of the concept behind this emotional romance - two people who "hate" each other are bonded by their friends, and become co-parents when those friends pass away unexpectedly. I will openly admit that there are MANY similarities... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Running on Diesel by Melissa Foster
I didn't like it, personally. While I think this is well done in a lot of ways, I never clicked with the characters. There's also a lot that felt outdated and somewhat toxic about the relationship, including the fact that the heroine - for the last few years - has watched the hero take home... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Lie by Karla Sorensen
A smitten bad boy? Yes, please! I absolutely LOVED this hero, a guy who listens to the devil on his shoulder too often. He's moody, broody, tattooed, and talented - and he's a total softie on the inside. This one's a little bit enemies to lovers, a little bit friends to lovers, and a whole... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: With You Forever by Chloe Liese
I love the Bergmans! This was the sweet treat that I've been waiting for, one of my most highly anticipated reads of the year. It didn't turn out to be QUITE what I was hoping for, but I still enjoyed it immensely. This series of slow burn, neurodiverse romances is heartfelt and emotional without feeling... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Rebound by Kendall Ryan
"There weren’t any fireworks or choreographed dance mobs. We didn’t even kiss because she was nursing the baby at the time. It just happened, like everything else we do. We just happen." I think that quote is supposed to be a romantic description of this strangers to friends to lovers romance, but it's more of... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Hard to Love by K. Bromberg
Crackling chemistry from the very first interaction - this couple is absolutely combustible, and watching their cat and mouse game from the sidelines was totally engrossing. I wasn't sure what to expect from this antihero redeemed romance; Finn has been the "villain" throughout this series of interconnected standalones, and his history is somewhat problematic. But... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Love, Comment, Subscribe by Cathy Yardley
This should've been right up my alley, but it was just SOOO social media-focused that I got bored after awhile with all of the technical details. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this First Reads selection actually is a true contemporary romance - it's a slow burn, opposites attract love story that features some... Continue Reading →
