Review: Breaking the Rules (Triskelion #1) by Jodi Payne & B. A. Tortuga
This book is the first I’ve read by either of these authors, and I immediately spent the next few days reading more of their work after finishing this one. I already knew going into this title that I enjoy romance that includes power dynamics and age gaps—the fact that this particular story is a “reverse”…

Review: Hell’s Bedroom Series by Tanya Chris
Kitchen Sink Dom (Book 1) Knowing some of the backstory of how this book developed made it even more entertaining: Chris asked for kink suggestions in a social media group and did her best to incorporate as many as possible. What might have been a disjointed connection of sex scenes held together by a plot…

Review: Camassia Cove Universe by Cara Dee
This post includes reviews of the books in the Camassia Cove Universe series. I’m reading them in a weird mix of the order listed on Amazon and the author’s recommended reading order on her website. Home Out Out for the Holidays Noah Power Play Sleepless Home I’m pretty solid at this point in knowing what…

Review: The Four Series by Sloane Kennedy
This review includes the books currently available in The Four series: Forgotten: Luca (#1) Foreseen: Lex (#2) Forgiven: Con (#3) Forgotten: Luca (Book 1) This book can be read as a stand-alone story, but it works best in the context of two previous novels by Kennedy: Atonement (Protectors #6) and Unbroken (Protectors #12). Thematically, this…

Review: Time Served Series by Onley James
Endangered Species (Book 1) I won’t lie: I originally had zero plan to read this series. A prison love story held zero appeal to me, and the step-brother aspect put me off further. Except I love this author, and I especially love this author’s Elite Protection series. So, the fact that this series is a…

Review: The Other Side of Here by E.M. Lindsey
I knew going into this book that it would wreck me, both because of one of the characters’ relationship situation and how well Lindsey manipulates language to tug at the heartstrings. I did not expect two of the characters to share a similar history—one in the immediate context and one further down the road, but…

Review: The Boy Series by J.A. Rock & Lisa Henry
The Good Boy (Book 1) From the back cover description, I expected this to be a short book with a meet-cute, some kinky fun, and maybe a bit of a low-angst dark moment before the happily ever after. Instead, I got a solid romance arc, fascinating and three-dimensional main and side characters, an unspooling storyline…

Review: Lonely Hearts Series by Kate Hawthorne
This post includes reviews of the currently available books in the Lonely Hearts series: His Kind of Love (#1) The Colors Between Us (#2) Love Comes After (#3) Until You Say Otherwise (#4) His Kind of Love (Book 1) This dark romance is deceptive, in that even as I was low-key horrified at the depths…

Review: After Oscar Series by Lucy Lennox & Molly Maddox
IRL: In Real Life (Book 1) I’m not one for texting/sexting or sending intimate photos by text, so the basic premise of this “meet-cute” didn’t initially speak to me. However, the authors quickly turn the dynamic sexy AF, and they also don’t leave the reader hanging about who is on the other end of Conor’s…

Review: Love Beyond Measure Series by E.M. Lindsey
The Edge of Heaven (Book 1) On the surface, this book shouldn’t really work. It feels like “how many romance novel tropes can we cram into one story?” Let’s see: fake date to a wedding, falling for the escort, hidden identity, getting back at an ex, idiots in love, and finally, there’s only one bed!…

Review: Unfettered by Kate Hawthorne
This book is connected to the Room for Love series by the same author (and connects with E.M. Lindsey’s On the Market series) but can easily be read as a stand-alone. However, I am glad that I have the full context of Beau’s relationship with his brothers for the few scenes that involve them. Beau…
