This post includes reviews of the books in The Cowboy and the Dom series: First Rodeo (#1)Razor's Edge (#2)No Ghosts (#3)The Soldier and the Angel (#3.5) First Rodeo (Book 1) I've become a lot more intentional about which books I write full-length reviews for rather than just a few sentences on Goodreads.

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
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" … Continue reading Review: Breaking the Rules (Triskelion #1) by Jodi Payne & B. A. Tortuga
Review: Dual Surrender (Duality #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my review of the first book in the Duality series, Dual Destruction. Hawthorne mentioned on social media that this was a difficult book to write, and part of me worried that this book would not mesh, thematically, with the previous installment of this trilogy. It features an established couple, and their lifestyle as white-collar … Continue reading Review: Dual Surrender (Duality #2) by Kate Hawthorne

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 … Continue reading Review: Hell’s Bedroom Series by Tanya Chris
Review: Camassia Cove Universe by Cara Dee

HomeOutOut for the HolidaysNoahPower PlaySleepless Home I'm pretty solid at this point in knowing what romance tropes I do and … Continue reading Review: Camassia Cove Universe by Cara Dee
Review: Arden St. Ives Series by Alexis Hall
How to Bang a Billionaire (Book 1) Young billionaire connects with college student (or is it the other way around?), and they develop a relationship that relies more on physical chemistry than romantic gestures. Despite the sexy moments of this story, the main draw for powering through this book is Hall’s elegant writing and the … Continue reading Review: Arden St. Ives Series by Alexis Hall
Review: A Cold Hard Truth (Real Good Lie #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my review of the previous book, A Real Good Lie. Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this ebook, though I had fully intended to buy myself a copy if I had not had this opportunity for an early review. Based on the initial interactions between Remington and Sebastian toward the end of the previous … Continue reading Review: A Cold Hard Truth (Real Good Lie #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Review: Middleman by Jane Rylon
I snagged this book because it ticked all the boxes of my latest favorite reads, but especially because an author that I adore mentioned reading it in her online fan group. Though I spent extra money on it because it was not available on Kindle Unlimited, I don’t regret the purchase at all. This book … Continue reading Review: Middleman by Jane Rylon
Review: Inferno Series by J. R. Gray
Clouded Hell (Book 1) This book is not a dark romance, though it gets pretty dark at times. Not because of the kinks between the main characters, but simply because of the worlds of organized crime and underground fighting they’re involved with. It’s immediately clear, however, that Remi and Dante are anti-heroes rather than villains, … Continue reading Review: Inferno Series by J. R. Gray

Review: No Surrender (No Regrets #1) by Nora Phoenix
This book is the first spinoff to the No Shame series by the same author. I’m pretty sure it can be read as a stand-alone, but I both highly recommend it and think that readers who enjoy this book will likely also enjoy going back to read those books as well. Go ahead. I’ll wait. … Continue reading Review: No Surrender (No Regrets #1) by Nora Phoenix
Review: Lust & Longing by E.M. Denning
It takes strong characterization to create two characters in a single scene and have me believe they're meant to be together forever—and then split them up for 20 years. It takes even stronger characterization for me to stick with the point-of-view character over those 20 years when he's kind of a jerk for many of … Continue reading Review: Lust & Longing by E.M. Denning
Review: Truth by His Hand by Casey Cameron
A friend recently complained to me that she has a hard time finding kinky fiction that dives into the point of view of the submissive character rather than the dominant partner. I didn’t set out to find a book that proves her wrong, but I’m so pleased that I stumbled across this delicious stand-alone title. … Continue reading Review: Truth by His Hand by Casey Cameron
Review: Ever After Series by Tanya Chris
Aftercare (Book 1) I can’t remember the last time I was so engrossed by a legal thriller. As a bonus, Chris also sucked me into the burgeoning romance between Garrett and Aayan. Usually, in these kinkier romances, it’s the Dom introducing a potential sub to the lifestyle. Here, it’s the other way around. Garrett might … Continue reading Review: Ever After Series by Tanya Chris
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 … Continue reading Review: The Boy Series by J.A. Rock & Lisa Henry
