I've been eyeing this romance ever since the author hinted that she'd be tackling a second-chance, first-love romance with two characters who've known each other since early childhood. You see, these types of romances are my jam because I love when the couple has a long history. Add to that alternating POVs and alternating timeline scenes where I get to see them grow and love and break and mend, and I am one happy camper. Wild Card claimed to have all the elements I love, and it's created by a talented writer, so I was pleased to get an early … [Read more...]
Review: Sugar & Gold by Emma Scott
I think (hope) Emma Scott writes all of her books for me. Every single one I’ve read has been incredibly special, with distinctive characters, unique storylines and a range of moving themes. They’re all my favorite. But Sugar & Gold is my most favorite. From the first few chapters I was buzzing with excitement, messaging a reading friend about how enamored I was. “You should read this book I am reading.” “I love it so much.” “What … [Read more...]
Review: Savior by S.L. Scott
What an incredible ending to this love story. S.L. Scott has put my emotions through the ringer with this conclusion. Look at me using the clichés – whatever, it’s just that good! After the pulse-pounding ending of book one, I was dying for answers. Prepared to be spoon fed because this story, while emotionally intense, is also brimming with suspense and intrigue that needed to unfold the way it did. I thought the pace was perfect, it kept my attention and absolutely surprised me even when I thought I had all the answers. I loved the way … [Read more...]
Review: A Little Bit Like Love by Brooke Blaine
Oh! Well, hello cute little surprise that I devoured in two days. Hi. Every now and then I like to choose a book to read based on nothing but a hunch and go in completely blind. It's like my own literary Russian roulette. It's pretty harmless, however I've been grazed a couple times. I'm happy to say that I didn't have to dodge any bullets with A Little Bit Like Love and I'm thankful to that little nudge towards this second chance m/m romance. Looks like I'll be dusting off those other Brooke Blaine titles on my kindle. I'm pretty smitten … [Read more...]
Review: The Knocked up Plan by Lauren Blakely
I loved The Knocked up Plan way more than I expected to! My expectations are automatically lowered if there’s abs on the cover. (Side note: Can we please stop putting abs on the cover?!) There was much more than meets the eye with this book. I haven’t read many books by Lauren Blakely, in fact I think I’ve only ever listened to a couple on audio, but if this is the norm then she just earned herself another reader. This is a modern day romance. It’s not going to offer you any new insights into life, reveal anything of great philosophical … [Read more...]
Review: Small Town Scandal by Daisy Prescott
It’s no secret that Daisy Prescott is one of my favorite authors (and people). But to say I was nervous for Small Town Scandal is putting it mildly. Ashley is a character that was introduced earlier in the Wingmen series and she is far from what would normally be considered likeable. You could probably even call her a villain. So knowing that she was going to be the main character of this book had me questioning even Daisy’s exceptional writing skill. But it was all for nothing. Not only is Daisy really good at telling a story from a … [Read more...]
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...]
Review: Mature Content by Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell
After my mild disappointment in Hard Wired I can't say I was super stoked for Mature Content. But alas, I got one peek at that cover and whelp, here I am. It's a great cover, just delicious. I'm pleased as punch to say the story found beyond the cover was equally satisfying. With an entertaining storyline and witty dialogue, Beau and Zane's story was an easy one to become engrossed in. I'm guessing this also has much (if not everything) to do with that seamless collaboration I've come to rely on from Erickson and Hassell. I don't know how … [Read more...]
Mini Review + Excerpt: Strong Enough by Melanie Harlow and David Romanov
So, I think by now everyone knows I Stan for Melanie Harlow. I can’t get enough of her stories and will always, always read anything she writes. I’m also a lover of MM books, which makes Strong Enough just about my perfect little piece of heaven. And, I loved it. Like, really loved it. For her first crack at MM, Melanie sure did hit a homerun. Her collaboration with first time author David Romaov was seamless and the character development was incredibly well done. The characters felt genuine, their chemistry ahhh-mazing and found myself … [Read more...]
Review: Stay by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy
I really love when Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy write books together. They are just so good. It sucks when I have to put one down. If life wasn’t so consuming lately, I’d have finished this book in a heartbeat. Stay was an excellent second installment of the WAGs series. Matt is a loveable character with an excellent sense of humor and a heart of gold. He’s an awesome dad to two adorable twin girls and I couldn’t get enough of him. Hailey is also a very likeable character. She’s a hard-working and independent co-owner of her company. She’s … [Read more...]
