It was alright. I'm probably going to forget that I even read this a week from now, which is why I can't rate it any higher. While I'm typically a big fan of Bladon's low angst, sexy romances, this one felt SUPER instalovey and also very surface level. The blurb (and great cover) gives the... Continue Reading →
With sexual tension that crackles and banter that shines, this office rivals romance is another great addition to what has been a stellar series of near-standalones. I loved the electric connection between these two office enemies; they've got the kind of chemistry that sparks off the page, and the volatile nature of their relationship made... Continue Reading →
There's a lot to love about a cinnamon roll sweetheart who falls hard and fast for his girl - this hero was GREAT! As a longtime fan of Score's work, I was excited to dive into this and see how her style changes for a more "traditional" romance audience. This still has the same small... Continue Reading →
Light and easy, this fake relationship romance is low angst fun. It plays up the tropes for a lighthearted, laidback read, and I loved the hero. He's a cinnamon roll sweetheart who knows his pro football career will end at some point, so he's opened a bakery with his two best friends. This certainly felt... Continue Reading →
Have you ever read a book, and you know it's not very good, but it's exactly what you're in the mood for that day? That's where I'm at with this one, or at least where I was while reading the first half. I was in the mood for some mafia goodness, so I decided to... Continue Reading →
A sexy single dad who is a genuinely nice guy, but also kind of a possessive caveman? Yeah, that works for me! This hero steals the show with his combination of sweet and alpha/businessman and caveman, but I also loved the vibrant heroine who has unexpected sides of her own. The two make for a...

Sitting squarely between 3 and 4 stars for me, the best part of this suspenseful romance is its unpredictable storyline. I've read amnesia romances before, but never has one played out quite like this one - and that definitely kept me on my toes. I liked the teases and the guessing, and it certainly gets...

I'd heard good things about this, but it far exceeded my expectations - I absolutely loved it! It felt so original, focusing on the strength and determination of the single mom heroine and the issues with making assumptions. There's a great neighbors to lovers romance, and seeing the subtle shifts in the dynamic was immensely... Continue Reading →
A solid series starter, this steamy office rivals romance flies by. I learned a little more about stockbroking than I wanted, lol, but it's got a light and sexy vibe that works for the story. What starts as strangers to instant enemies quickly transitions into instalove kind of vibes, and that worked because of the... Continue Reading →
I've got a lot of thoughts about this one, a lot of thoughts. Women's fiction lovers are likely to enjoy this more than romance readers, though even telling you if this is ultimately a romance feels like a spoiler. I was really loving this for the first 30% or so - the laidback, emotional feel... Continue Reading →
Easy, sexy, and a little different than the norm, I got everything I wanted from this low angst romance. What starts as a fake relationship soon turns into something else entirely, and I loved that this didn't take the usual path. This hero is a sexy bartender who looks like trouble, so it was great...

I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars, but you know what? I devoured it in one sitting, was entertained the entire time, and I haven't read a book that's quite this steamy in awhile - plus that original, awful cover was swapped out before release day. So I'm rounding up! The second half read much,... Continue Reading →
It was like (not love) for me, but there's a lot of good stuff going on in this fling to more romance. After one steamy night together, this couple soon realizes they're in over their heads when they become boss/assistant. I loved the sexual tension, and there are some really sweet moments between this single... Continue Reading →
All kinds of adorable and just the low angst read I was in the mood for, this made for a great introduction to Olivia's work. The grumpalicious hero paired with a sunshiney heroine made for a fun dynamic, and the story deftly tackles heavier subjects while maintaining a light and easy feel. It's got small...

I love it when I try a new-to-me author and I know immediately that I'm in for an excellent read. My love for this heartfelt, swoony read began right away, and it just got stronger and stronger as the book progressed. I loved the pining, the completely unique feel, and I loved the cinnamon roll... Continue Reading →
