Mini Review + Excerpt: Savage by S.L. Scott

July 6, 2017

Mini Review + Excerpt: Savage by S.L. Scott

As S.L. Scott dips her pen into the romantic suspense genre she does so with a polished elegance that readers have come to expect from her. Savage is a read on the edge of your seat kind of book. The intriguing storyline is full of angst and carries along a feeling of dread as it becomes more twisted as secrets are revealed. You just know that something as epic as the romance between the protagonists Alexander and Sara Jane is coming. And does it ever. I'm left reeling and nervously anticipating the follow up to what I feel is one of the best … [Read more...]

Excerpt: A Girl Like Me by Ginger Scott

May 31, 2017

Excerpt: A Girl Like Me by Ginger Scott

I’m not supposed to be here. Death has come for me more than once, and each time it’s been a boy who’s stood between me and my final breath. I called him Christopher when he saved me as a child. When he came into my life again, only months ago, I knew him as Wes. Just as he did the time before, he disappeared the moment he made sure I was out of harm’s way; as if I didn’t need any more saving. This time, though, death left me with a reminder of how powerful it is. I know it meant to strip me of my spirit again, but it failed. Even … [Read more...]

Review + Excerpt: Revelry by Kandi Steiner

April 20, 2017

Review + Excerpt: Revelry by Kandi Steiner

“There are no rules when it comes to life and love, and even if there were the would only exist to be broken. There’s no methodology, no equation, no right or wrong or guided path of light. Stop asking yourself what other people will think or what you should do and listen to your heart.” I don’t read contemporary romance as much as I used to, but when I do, I love when they’re like Revelry. Kandi Steiner’s well-balanced love story is one that held me from start to finish. “Somewhere along the way, our love grew black, charred from an angry … [Read more...]

Review + Excerpt: The Hot Shot by Kristen Callihan

April 18, 2017

Review + Excerpt: The Hot Shot by Kristen Callihan

At first glance you might think this could be just another shallow, thinly developed new(ish) adult sports romance. However it is quite easy to refute those thoughts when you’re up past your usual bedtime by three hours and cursing the 6am alarm because you can’t stop/won’t stop reading. The Hot Shot features characters that you’ll undeniably fall in love with, dialogue that is entertaining and witty and writing that is simply a pleasure to read. Finn and Chess have stolen my heart and I can’t wait for you to meet them. I loved Finn and … [Read more...]

Excerpt + Giveaway: Rise by Dylan Allen

February 16, 2017

Excerpt + Giveaway: Rise by Dylan Allen

  As a little girl, I saw my father destroy the family he claimed to love. I watched my mother waste her life dreaming of a man who left her without a second glance. As a woman, I don’t dream, I work. I don’t fall in love, I focus. I would never let anything as frivolous as love distract me. Until I meet Simon. A gorgeous, brilliant young architect with dark eyes, a sweet smile, and a dirty, dirty mouth. He sets me on fire, and suddenly all I can do is dream…of his hands, his lips, his body. Of a heart good enough and a love strong … [Read more...]

Excerpt: Grip by Kennedy Ryan

Excerpt: Grip by Kennedy Ryan

     Resisting an irresistible force wears you down and turns you out. I know. I’ve been doing it for years. I may not have a musical gift of my own, but I’ve got a nose for talent and an eye for the extraordinary. And Marlon James – Grip to his fans – is nothing short of extraordinary. Years ago, we strung together a few magical nights, but I keep those memories in a locked drawer and I’ve thrown away the key. All that’s left is friendship and work. He’s on the verge of unimaginable fame, all his dreams poised to come … [Read more...]

Review + Excerpt: After We Fall by Melanie Harlow

If you're a follower of this blog you'll know that I am a big time Melanie Harlow fan. Even though I haven't read and reviewed all of the titles in her catalog, the ones I have have made me laugh, cry, feel angry or sad; sometimes all in the same book, even. They're all unforgettable, always having something uniquely Melanie that allows them to stand out from the others and her latest release, After We Fall, is no different. After We Fall beautifully showcases Harlow's strength as a storyteller through skilled writing that has a focus on … [Read more...]

Review & Excerpt: Royally Screwed by Emma Chase

October 22, 2016

Review & Excerpt: Royally Screwed by Emma Chase

If I was having a conversation about romance authors and someone mentioned Emma Chase the first thought to ring in my head would be - funny. Her books are synonymous with the term romantic comedy as she crafts laugh out loud stories that pack a heartfelt punch. Having written some of my favorite romcom male point of view stories to date I jumped at the opportunity to review an advanced copy of Royally Screwed and figured it for a home run.  Well, turns out it was more of a line drive double than an out of the park at bat. In fact there were … [Read more...]
