Read my reviews of previous books in the Lost Boys series: The Thief (#0.5) | The Skeptic (Lost Boys #1) | The Crush (#2) | The Punk (#3) I often joke that it’s not a Kelly Fox book unless it makes me laugh so hard that I scare a cat at least once. While this story definitely includes moments … Continue reading Book Review: The Steady (Lost Boys #4) by Kelly Fox
Book Review: Teach Me to Sin (Water, Air, Earth, Fire #4) by Riley Nash
I binge-read the first three books (and supplementary content) in this series in a single weekend, put the release date for the final book on my calendar, and anxiously counted down the days. Then, because I’m a lucky brat, the author was kind enough to send me an advanced copy! Which, of course, I promptly … Continue reading Book Review: Teach Me to Sin (Water, Air, Earth, Fire #4) by Riley Nash
Book Review: Halo by E.M. Lindsey
Victor and Oliver may come from thoroughly different walks of life, and exist in vastly different current lives, but this isn’t an opposites-attract romance. Instead, this is a story about love arriving when it’s least expected (and possibly even least wanted) for two people who don’t believe they deserve it but are still able to … Continue reading Book Review: Halo by E.M. Lindsey
Book Review: Salt in the Wound (Lyonesse #0.5) by Sierra Simone
I adored Simone’s New Camelot trilogy, which was a fascinating take on Arthurian legend set in contemporary American politics. References are made to the full cast in this modern setting, and I was instantly intrigued by what this author would do when bringing the Mark/Isolde/Tristan saga to the foreground. Of course, Tristan doesn’t appear until … Continue reading Book Review: Salt in the Wound (Lyonesse #0.5) by Sierra Simone
Book Review: Necessary Time (All in Good Time #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my review of the previous book in the All in Good Time series, Necessary Space. Being a long-time fan of an author means that it's easy to have faith in a book despite it including a trope that doesn’t typically appeal to me. In this case, it’s the age-gap element that includes a character … Continue reading Book Review: Necessary Time (All in Good Time #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Book Review: Split Rock Ranch Series by Rory Maxwell
This post includes reviews of the following books in the Split Rock Ranch series: Something Undeniable (#1) | Something Unexpected (#2) Something Undeniable (Split Rock Ranch Book 1) I’ve been shying away from age-gap romance stories lately, but this new author has been on my radar, and I didn’t mind diving into this one when … Continue reading Book Review: Split Rock Ranch Series by Rory Maxwell
Book Review: Making the Rules (Triskelion #3) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Triskelion series: Breaking the Rules (#1)Making a Mark (#2) I’m so spoiled by authors that release books close together that waiting a year for the final installment of this trilogy was brutal—but absolutely worth the wait (and luckily, I had plenty of other books by this … Continue reading Book Review: Making the Rules (Triskelion #3) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
Book Review: Rebound by Kate Hawthorne
A bit of a long-running joke in this author’s social media groups is that she can’t write a stand-alone novel. This book, however, definitely stands alone, and whether she wrote it that way on purpose or not is irrelevant, because it still includes everything I love about her writing and storytelling. Ben and Thomas are … Continue reading Book Review: Rebound by Kate Hawthorne
Book Review: Prepared (Auctioned #6) by Cara Dee
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Auctioned series. What I expected with this book: Total fan service of Gray and Darius’ happily ever after, featuring bachelor party shenanigans, a ceremony and reception I’d cry my way through, and familiar, beloved characters showing up from other series. Had that been all this book … Continue reading Book Review: Prepared (Auctioned #6) by Cara Dee
Book Review: Until Now (Not Ready for Love #3) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Not Ready for Love series: Not Allowed (#1)To Love You (#2) This book is really the second part of the love story between Wyatt and Grant that starts in Not Allowed. Unfortunately for us, Hawthorne traumatizes her readers with a significant time gap between the two halves, … Continue reading Book Review: Until Now (Not Ready for Love #3) by Kate Hawthorne
Book Review: Not Allowed (Not Ready for Love #1) by Kate Hawthorne
Hawthorne is one of those authors who can take typical genre tropes and always put her unique spin on them. In this case, she upends the dad’s best friend/age-gap romance premise by featuring two characters who are both too self-aware and incredibly dumb about everything they’re getting themselves into. As a mature adult in his … Continue reading Book Review: Not Allowed (Not Ready for Love #1) by Kate Hawthorne
Book Review: Spires Series by Alexis Hall
This post includes reviews of books in the Spires series: Glitterland (#1)Waiting for the Flood (#2)For Real (#3) Glitterland (Spires #1) There’s a difference between being mentally ill and being an asshole, but it’s still entirely possible to be both. By the time I was a third of the way through the book, I was … Continue reading Book Review: Spires Series by Alexis Hall
Book Review: Shades of Winter (For Everything a Season #1) by E.M. Lindsey
Lindsey is officially the only author I know who can write a “low-angst” book that still leaves me absolutely aching for the characters. Liam and Dante shouldn’t work together, which of course means that they absolutely do. I adored the way this story switches up the traditional bodyguard trope formula by having the characters hook … Continue reading Book Review: Shades of Winter (For Everything a Season #1) by E.M. Lindsey
Book Review: Navarro (Rebel Sky Ranch #3) by Kelly Fox
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Rebel Sky Ranch series: Goodnight (#1)Sparrow (#2) Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this novel from the author. "The worst-kept secret at Rebel Sky Ranch is that Desi Navarro loves Wyatt Goodnight." Fox has been planting the seeds of this romance from the very beginning … Continue reading Book Review: Navarro (Rebel Sky Ranch #3) by Kelly Fox
Book Review: Disciplinary Action by Onley James
I love reading about power exchange relationships, but only those that come from a position of equality. Therefore, I was hesitant to start this book for quite a bit until it was the only book left by this author that I hadn't read. Since she hasn't let me down yet, I figured it was time … Continue reading Book Review: Disciplinary Action by Onley James

Review: Forbidden: King (The Four #4) by Sloane Kennedy
This collection of excellent spin-offs from Kennedy’s amazing Protectors series comes full circle as we finally get the story of the last brother, King, and his “forbidden” romance with his (non-biological) nephew Gio. Years have passed since Gio’s rescue, but King has kept himself absent for most of them after doing all he can to … Continue reading Review: Forbidden: King (The Four #4) by Sloane Kennedy

Review: Making a Mark (Triskelion #2) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
Read my review of Breaking the Rules (Triskelion #1) Disclaimer: I received an advanced electronic ARC of this novel from the author. The first book in this planned trilogy introduced me to an amazing author pairing and lived rent-free in my brain for the entire summer. I put off re-reading it until right before the … Continue reading Review: Making a Mark (Triskelion #2) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
