Markham is a “new” author, but I am already familiar with their work in a different area of the romance genre under another pen name. I may have been predisposed toward the writing, even if this is the first F/F novel I’ve read, but it more than lived up to my expectations – in fact, … Continue reading Book Review: Impact by Nikki Markham

Read my previous reviews of the Seasons of the Lukoi series: Winter of the Owl (Seasons of the Lukoi #1)Spring of the Wolf (Seasons of the Lukoi #2)Summer of the Wanderer (Seasons of the Lukoi #3) The final book in this series returns us to the island of Lukoi and features characters we have met in previous installments. … Continue reading Book Review: Autumn of the Witch (Seasons of the Lukoi #4) by Iris Foxglove
Book Review: To Love You (Not Ready for Love #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my review of the first book in the Not Ready for Love series, Not Allowed. This book's first scene takes place right after Wyatt leaves for college in the previous novel, but luckily, Hawthorne doesn't make us relive THAT EPILOGUE. Probably because she is too busy cackling with sadistic glee over a different time … Continue reading Book Review: To Love You (Not Ready for Love #2) by Kate Hawthorne

Read my previous reviews of the books in The Game series: Top Priority (The Game #1)Their Boy (The Game #2)Breathless (The Game #3)Doll Parts (The Game #4)Out of the Ashes (The Game #5) If you can count on anything about this series, you can depend on Dee’s unpredictability when it comes to the varying characters and relationships among the members … Continue reading Book Review: The Shepherd (The Game #6) by Cara Dee
Book Review: When All the World Sleeps by Lisa Henry & J.A. Rock
This novel was long, but it never dragged or felt padded with unnecessary content. The authors crafted an intense story in which I was quickly invested in the characters, their situation, and their developing relationship. This narrative isn’t quite an “enemies to lovers” arc, but Bel must overcome significant ingrained beliefs about Daniel despite pressure … Continue reading Book Review: When All the World Sleeps by Lisa Henry & J.A. Rock
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 characters and their … Continue reading Book Review: Out of the Ashes (The Games #5) by Cara Dee
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 … Continue reading Book Review: Sherwood by Sierra Simone
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 … Continue reading Book Review: Bound to Fall by Jaime Samms
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 entwined in … Continue reading Book Review: Doll Parts (The Game #4) by Cara Dee

Book Review: Spring of the Wolf (Seasons of the Lukoi #2) by Iris Foxglove
Read my review of the first Seasons of the Lukoi novel, Winter of the Owl. Every time I think I can’t possibly enjoy the world of this epic fantasy romance series more, the author(s) uncover another stunning layer. In the first book of this series, we’re introduced to the culture of the Lukoi, who are … Continue reading Book Review: Spring of the Wolf (Seasons of the Lukoi #2) by Iris Foxglove
Book Review: Winter of the Owl (Seasons of the Lukoi #1) by Iris Foxglove
I came to this series because I’d previously read the Starian Cycle books by the same author, though I did not review them for my blog. Foxglove has created a truly expansive world in that it is not necessary to read the previous books to appreciate anything about this story. The forced-proximity element of this … Continue reading Book Review: Winter of the Owl (Seasons of the Lukoi #1) by Iris Foxglove

Read my reviews of the previous books in the Naughty in Pendleton series: Date in a Pinch (#1)Embracing His Shame (#2)Made to Order (#3)Flipping the Switch (#4) This book can stand completely on its own and is not officially part of the Naughty in Pendleton series as far as I can tell on Amazon and Goodreads. However, it references … Continue reading Book Review: Preston’s Christmas Escape (Naughty in Pendleton #5) by Brigham Vaughn
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
Book Review: Weave the Dark, Weave the Light by Anna Zabo
Disclaimer: I am friends with this author; however, I purchased this ebook for full price. A novella is a tricky length for a story, especially one that includes fantasy worldbuilding. However, Zabo does an amazing job with this sweet yet steamy romance between two unexpected characters. Jonathan is both something like a dream come true … Continue reading Book Review: Weave the Dark, Weave the Light by Anna Zabo
