I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up Even Money. I’ve been a fan of Alessandra Torre for years – especially of her romantic suspense. And I’m not even someone who likes suspense. So naturally I was looking forward to this one, despite knowing very little about it. If you’re at all familiar with my reviews, then you know that I don’t even read the synopsis of a book before I read it. Let’s start with the negative stuff first, shall we? Not that it’s even really all that negative. I would say that for the first forty to fifty … [Read more...]
Review: Only Him by Melanie Harlow
Melanie Harlow delivers the swoon once again with Only Him, her latest second chance romance. Readers will be swept away by the romance between Dallas and Maren. Their love story is an irresistible one, where a high school love that was once defeated by assumptions is rekindled and then refined by the grace of maturity. As I get older these kinds of stories, where characters aren't hasty or thoughtless, are my favorite types. Ms. Harlow writes them well and it is easy to tell these kinds of characters and stories are ones she really enjoys … [Read more...]
Review: The Time in Between by Kristen Ashley
I’m a huge fan of Kristen Ashley. I’m a huge fan of her heroes, her heroines, the emotion she can evoke with even the simplest of words, and her writing style, though that admittedly took some time to get used to. I love just about everything she writes, but I especially love a good second chance romance. She was the one then and nothing changed in the time in between. The Time in Between got me right in the feels. Cady’s life was anything but easy, and there was a lot of emotion that revolved around those experiences. Her story with Coert … [Read more...]
Review: One Good Man by Emma Scott
One Good Man is one good little book! It is always so easy to recommend books from my favorite authors and I'm delighted to support them. However, the ease at which Emma Scott delivers characters and stories that leave me in a puddle of feelings overwhelms me some times. Most times, even. And now to do it in a little over one hundred pages? I don't have many words. Despite the lean page count Janey and Adrien's love story is rich with emotion and compelling characters giving it the weight a full length romance. If you're a die-hard … [Read more...]
Review: Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan
“If you were mine, Iris, there would be no doubt what position you’d hold in my life. You’d be center. I’d play you at the five.” Wow. What an emotional ride Long Shot was. I feel emotionally wrung out. But what a painfully beautiful story. In the last year or so, I’ve stopped reading the synopsis before I read the book. Sometimes I’ll read it after, sometimes I won’t read it at all. I don’t read teasers, or excerpts. I ignore basically everything about a book before I read it because I find that I enjoy stories more when I don’t know what … [Read more...]
Review: Only You by Melanie Harlow
Only You is the only book you need to read right now. If you love well crafted, humorous and sexy friends to lovers romances featuring single dads, one clicking is your only option. This book was super fun to read, I even read it twice. I’m not big on re-reads but I couldn’t help myself! I loved the cute friendship between Nate and Emme, their gentle teasing and mutual secret attraction. Being in their world was addicting and watching them fall in love, while brushed gently with some heartache, was carefully crafted so that it was believable … [Read more...]
Review: Accidental Tryst by Natasha Boyd
Accidental Tryst was a cute, fun, and sexy read. I’m a huge fan of Natasha Boyd and this book was highly anticipated for me. While I enjoyed this book overall, I fear that my anticipation over-hyped it for me. There was a lot of really great chemistry between Emmy and Trystan, but I didn’t feel or understand the development of their relationship. It seemed to progress from lust to real feelings quickly and seemingly out of nowhere. There wasn’t nearly as much character growth as I would have hoped for. Trystan, especially, had the … [Read more...]
Review: Forever Right Now by Emma Scott
I first read Forever Right Now last year. I fell into the lives of Sawyer and Darlene as one does with an Emma Scott book; easily and relentlessly. Frankly, I did not want to leave them, which probably explains why I’ve reread FRN this year and frequently skim my kindle copy to relive my favorite scenes over and over again. Each time feels like finding a $10 bill in the pocket of a winter coat. It’s full of exciting discovery and pure joy mixed with a bit of surprise. How these simple feelings can be brought out by Emma’s easily read prose is … [Read more...]
Review: True by Ella Frank
Logan and Tate will forever be one of my favorite couples ever. I am both devastated and elated that their story is over. I’m so sad that this is the end, but so happy for them and their happily ever after. When I picked up the first book in this series, Try, I never imaged that I’d fall so in love with these two stubborn men. What I thought would be a fun, erotic read that would be nothing more than some quick entertainment, turned into one of my most favorite series of all-time. True is not a perfect book. It’s not a super exciting … [Read more...]
Review: The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata
I read this book on a whim after seeing a couple of book friends swooning over it on Goodreads. I didn’t even bother to read the synopsis. I impulsively twitched my One-Click finger and dove in. And I’m so glad I did. The Wall of Winnipeg and Me started off slow but before I knew it, I couldn’t put it down. I was skeptical of Aiden in the beginning, he was stand-offish and borderline rude. There wasn’t a whole lot there to like in the beginning. But he slowly won me over. There is slow burn, and then there is this book. Talk about a … [Read more...]
