Book Review: Redeemed (Soulmates #3) by Liv Rancourt
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Soulmates series: Soulmates (#1) Tested (#2) If books 1 and 2 in this series focus on conflicts that affect David and Connor, the biggest plot element for book 3 surrounds Trajan. Things have been tense with his vampire maker since the very beginning of these stories, but Betancourt’s…

Book Review: Warwick (Rebel Sky Ranch #4) by Kelly Fox
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Rebel Sky Ranch series: Goodnight (#1) Sparrow (#2) Navarro (#3) If you’ve read this far in the Rebel Sky Ranch series (which you should, because all the books are fantastic), you should know by now that you’re not getting out of here without shedding a few…

Book Review: Waiting on Forever (Carnal Tower #2) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my review of the first book in the Carnal Tower series, Shades of Lust. One of the similarities between this book and the first in the series that I noticed, which may or may not be a trend for the rest of the books, is that the heat level is very much on the…

Book Review: Out of the Ashes (The Games #5) by Cara Dee
Read my reviews of the previous books in The Games series: Top Priority (#1) Their Boy (#2) Breathless (#3) Doll Parts (#4) Though my favorite of this series is one of the previous installments, it can simultaneously be true that this series keeps getting better and better with each new story. Every title stands alone and focuses on different…

Book Review: Summer of the Wanderer (Seasons of the Lukoi #3) by Iris Foxglove
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Seasons of the Lukoi series: Winter of the Owl (#1) Spring of the Wolf (#2) I know that I say this in each review, but this series keeps getting better with every installment. In this book, we leave Lukos and venture to yet another new country…

Book Review: Sherwood by Sierra Simone
At the time this blog post is published, this novella is available for free. Simone’s New Camelot series wrecked me as a reader in all the best ways, often leaving me in tears and leading to some virtual flailing at a fellow fan via text. The journey was worth every bit of the angst, and…

This post includes reviews of the currently available books in the Sons of the Fallen series: Galen (#1) Castor (#2) Daman (#3) Gray (#4) Galen (Sons of the Fallen #1) Paranormal romance featuring angels and demons have always been a mixed bag for me, but Amazon kept throwing the first book of the series into…

Book Review: Thick as Thieves (Aster Valley #4) by Lucy Lennox
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Aster Valley series: Winter Waites (#0.5) Right as Raine (#1) Sweet as Honey (#2) Hot as Heller (#3) Lennox saved the best for last in this sweet romance series that centers on a small ski town in Colorado. This particular installment leans heavily into certain romance tropes, such as “best…

Book Review: Flying Blind by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
I loved the progression of the relationship between January and Hawk in this book. It boils down to “one-night stand” to “sexy weekend fling” to “casually meeting up across the country” to “oops, I think we’re dating” to “okay, I guess we’re in love and all-in now.” This arc includes plenty of highs and lows,…

Book Review: Mad Man (Necessary Evils #5) by Onley James
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Necessary Evils series: Unhinged (Necessary Evils #1) Psycho (Necessary Evils #2) Moonstruck (Necessary Evils #3) Damaged (Necessary Evils #3.5) Headcase (Necessary Evils #4) It would have been so easy for this author to continue the same trend she has established in previous books, of a Mulvaney brother falling into attachment with a…

Book Review: Rearranged (Do-Over #1) by E.M. Denning
One of the best things about following an author on social media is getting to experience the full evolution of a story, from conception to publication. I followed along as Denning mentioned binge-reading all the arranged marriage trope romances she could find and then as she spoke about writing her own. So, it was pretty…

Book Review: Wrecked by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
The first half or so of this book is an emotional sucker punch. It left me, dare I say, a bit wrecked. Even if emotional angst is your jam, have some tissues handy. However, all the pain is worth it as the authors slowly reveal the full story of estranged husbands Beckett and Skyler. The…

This novella is a study in extremes for me.…

Book Review: Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall
This book isn’t usually the Regency romance we get, but it is absolutely one we deserve. I giggled so much while reading this delightful story that the spouse thought I was losing my mind. As usual, Hall’s excellent use of language in both the narrative and dialogue of this tale elevated it from potential massive…

Book Review: Dark Space Series by Lisa Henry
This post includes reviews of the books in the Dark Space series: Dark Space (#1) Darker Space (#2) Starlight (#3) Dark Space (Dark Space #1) Me, before reading this book: I’m sure this will be a fun science fiction romance with some alien tech shenanigans!Me, at about 90% through this book: Don’t mind me, I’m…

Book Review: Legends of Lobe den Herren Series by A.J. Sherwood
This post includes reviews of the books in the Legends of Lobe den Herren series: Fourth Point of Contact (#1) Zone of Action (#2) Fourth Point of Contact (Legends of Lobe den Herren #1) Sherwood makes some interesting worldbuilding decisions that gave me pause at a few points during this story. However, it is obvious…

Book Review: Tending Tyler (Lone Star #1) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed so much by these authors that it should come as no shock to anyone how sweet I found this book as well. We start in familiar territory (with a special shout-out to one of my favorite subby cowboys), but then this book becomes a major departure from what I’ve read from Payne…

Book Review: Bound to Fall by Jaime Samms
The easiest takeaway from this book to start this review is that it is extremely long—but it’s one of those stories that supports its weight and deserves every scene. The most difficult takeaway is that this is truly a tale of redemption, like it says on the tin. Redemption is not the same as a…

Book Review: Doll Parts (The Game #4) by Cara Dee
Read my reviews of the previous books in The Game series: Top Priority (#1) Their Boy (#2) Breathless (#3) This book is a very different type of story from the previous installments in this series, but it definitely follows the same theme Dee laid out from the very beginning. Love and kink can be completely…

Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #1) by Jennifer Cody
I wasn’t sure what I was getting into this book. The cover is typical romance fare, but I went in with a burning curiosity to identify the nicknames and a willingness to embrace a dark comedy. What I got was a delightful paranormal romance featuring a narrator who swept me along with his strong personality.…
