Review: An Unnatural Vice (Sins of the Cities #2) by K.J. Charles
My favorite thing about this series is the overlapping mystery, in which each of the romances develop as a part of that plot. Charles’ talent for writing truly shows as each book in this trilogy feels complete even without the over-arching story yet solved.

Review: Meik & Sebastian (Obsessed #1 & #2) by Quin Perin
Let’s get the obvious out of the way first: This is not a love story. Like the title says, this is one character lusting after another, both metaphorically and physically. Straight-up erotica and pretty much what it says on the tin.

Review: Escaping Solitude (Escape #2) by Sara Dobie Bauer
Disclaimer: I received an ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Review: Counterpoint (Twisted Wishes #2) by Anna Zabo
Disclaimer: I am friends with the author; however, I purchased this ebook for full price. My favorite thing about this series is that it doesn’t follow the traditional romance script.

Review: The Flame (1001 Dark Nights/Desire Exchange novella) by Christopher Rice
Often novellas either feel like a padded-out short story or a rushed novel. This was neither, giving all the background detail between each of the three main characters necessary to make the next step in their relationship feel natural and inevitable. Additionally, the supernatural element of the story blended seamlessly…
