It’s not that I didn’t enjoy this, it’s just that it was WAY too short to do the topic justice. The overall tone is super light and low angst, with a quick, easy vibe that almost felt wholesome. That's in complete contrast to the topics at hand - famous rock star who is grieving the... Continue Reading →

There's a new rock star romance on the way from Kylie Scott, and it sounds right up my alley! A little small town influence, a grumpy neighbor, and a second shot at love. We've even got two covers - paperback and ebook - and the book will be here before you know it. Famous in... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Elizabeth O’Roark
Easiest 5-star rating I've given in awhile - I absolutely loved it! This was nothing like I was expecting and everything I wanted all at once; an unpredictable, bingeable ride that had me turning the pages all day long. I loved the chemistry between these two, and I love peeling back their layers bit by... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Ripple Effect by J. Bengtsson
So, here's the thing. This wasn't bad, but I was looking forward to a playful, enemies to lovers-style, neighbors romance (as promised by the blurb), and that lasted for all of twentyish pages before it turned into a sugary sweet survival romance. I wanted the neighbors to lovers romance, the passing of notes and the... Continue Reading →

⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Stone Cold Notes by Julia Wolf
Fantastic writing from Wolf, as always, but the hero wasn't a great fit for me and I had some definite issues with this. After an EXCELLENT first book in the series, I was so excited to dive into Callum's story. He's a silent, broody, rock star whose mysterious nature had me so intrigued. And he... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Swoon by Lauren Rowe
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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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...

I'm REALLY excited about this one! If you've been following my reviews for awhile, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of J. Saman's writing. She had three books on my shortlist for the Top 20 of 2020 - and all three were part of this series! So, yeah, I'm very much looking forward to... Continue Reading →
