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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Help Me Remember by Corinne Michaels 🎧
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... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: My Killer Vacation by Tessa Bailey
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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Brutal Vows by J.T. Geissinger
I was HOOKED from the very first page, and I devoured the whole book at an alarming rate - I loved it! There are times when you can tell that an author is having FUN with a story, and this is one of those instances. This couple is drawn together like magnets, and their chemistry... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Breaking the Speed Limit by Melanie Moreland
Instalovers, this one is for you! The title makes complete sense, because this couple breaks the speed limit on how fast a relationship can progress. Our loving and protective hero is smitten at first sight, and he will stop at nothing to show his girl all of the love that she's been missing in her... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Say It’s Forever by A.L. Jackson 🎧
This reformed antihero just wants someone to love him for who he is, and I couldn't help but swoon over the vulnerability. The man needed a hug, and a little lightness in his life. I loved how perfectly these two complement each other - they're both broken, with complicated pasts that leave them running scared... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Seren by J. Nathan
Maybe I’m getting too old for teenage drama, or maybe the bully to instalove transition gave me whiplash, but this just didn’t do anything for me. It’s the first time I’ve disliked a book by Nathan - the other five I've read from her have been great. We'll call this one a fluke! Our introduction... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Falls Boys by Penelope Douglas
So I took the night to collect my thoughts, and I still don't know how to rate this - there's a lot going on in the story, and a lot going on in my head. Let's start with this: I'm a first-timer! I've been meaning to check out Douglas' work for years now, and this... Continue Reading →
COVER REVEAL: Brutal Vows by J.T. Geissinger
June 1st can't get here fast enough - I'm really looking forward to this one! We met this antihero in previous books in the series, and he's finally embraced his bad side. That means the dynamics in this mafia-focused, arranged marriage romance should be pretty damn interesting... especially since he's got a brand new blushing... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Resurrection by Jodi Ellen Malpas
The Brit AND The Enigma are 100% required reading prior to this book. And if you want to go into The Resurrection *truly* blind, then this isn’t the review for you. Phew. What a WILD ride! Malpas clearly left plenty of breadcrumbs in the first two books, because this masterfully sews two different love stories... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score
This is one of those books that feels entirely too long at the start, just right in the middle, and not long enough by the end. I loved it! While I think the story might be too slow-paced at the beginning and there's a LOT of focus on the small town feel, it's those quieter... Continue Reading →
SPOTLIGHT ON: J.T. Geissinger
I'd be hard-pressed to think of an author who has delivered more 5-star reads for me than J.T. Geissinger, and often I don't even read the blurbs or know what I'm getting into ahead of time with her books. I just one-click and go along for the ride! She's one of the first (non-Nora Roberts)... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Savage Hearts by J.T. Geissinger
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 →
⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Rare Danger by Beverly Jenkins
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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Enemy Heir by Carrie Ann Ryan & Nana Malone
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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: The Enigma by Jodi Ellen Malpas
"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 →
⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: Until April by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Alright, well, I probably would've rated this higher if there had been ANY sort of buildup before our couple got together, lol! There was not. It was all smoldering eyes and "wanna get out of here?" and then a few pages after meeting... that was it. Together. I'm not joking, it was really that quick.... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Canary by Tijan 🎧
Okay, so this is going to be a weird 5-star review, but just bear with me for a minute, lol. I wasn't sure that I even liked this book for the first 30% or so - I was more fascinated than anything, and it definitely took awhile to wrap my head around the characters. This... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Carnal Urges by J.T. Geissinger 🎧
What a WILD ride! Geissinger's books are always addictive, and her mafia romances have been particularly compelling - with this being no exception. These two were FIRE together, and I was absolutely hooked from start to finish. I'll openly admit that I had a little more trouble than usual getting behind this particular couple, not... 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... Continue Reading →
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW: One Day Fiancé by Lauren Landish
Light and steamy with a side of action, I'd describe the plot of this rom com as "quirky romance writer is thirsty for a bad boy." lol, our heroine doesn't seem to mind all of the red flags popping up around her guy - even when he warns her away (repeatedly). It's low angst and... Continue Reading →
