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
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
“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.

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...]

Excerpt: Grip by Kennedy Ryan

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...]
