“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...]
Review: Love Me in the Dark by Mia Asher
I don't understand why this isn't a full length novel. I am in no way a fan of love triangles, so it's a strange thing for me to advocate a full-length novel featuring one, but I feel strongly that this should've been that. And if it was that—if the author gave the characters their full due—then I would've loved it. I mean, I would've hated having to experience the angst, but I would've appreciated the book for its openness. Love Me in the Dark is well-written (in terms of prose), and I honestly loved reading it and was fully taken in by the … [Read more...]
Review: Midnight Soul by Kristen Ashley
The Fantasyland series has been one of my all-time favorites, but Midnight Soul is definitely my least favorite of the series. I still liked it, it was okay, it took me forever to read, but I wanted to end the series on a high note. This sort of just felt like a really long fizzle. I have to give credit where credit is due – I never thought Ashley could turn Franka into a character I could sympathize with, much less like. But she did it, so hats off for that. But beyond that, I don’t have a whole lot to say about this book. The story felt … [Read more...]
Review: Royally Endowed by Emma Chase
No wonder everyone loves Emma Chase. Her books are lighthearted yet emotional and come with a unique blend of funny and sexy. Royally Endowed hits all of these marks as it lands on my shelf of favorites. I absolutely swooned (oh whatever) over Logan. I appreciated his inner conflict, and felt the validity of how it was worked into the story. I fancied Ellie quite a bit as well. She was cute as a button and funny. A "real" or genuine heroine. I love those. I was also totally invested in their love story and happily witnessed their backstory. … [Read more...]
Review: Wild Card by Karina Halle
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...]
