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
Review: Saint’s Song (Rebel Kings MC #2) by Garrett Leigh
Read my review of the first book in the Rebel Kings MC series, Devil's Dance. This book picks up pretty much where the previous one left off, but with a twist. Now we also get scenes from Saint’s point of view! Though the previous installment did not end on a cliffhanger, it was already obvious … Continue reading Review: Saint’s Song (Rebel Kings MC #2) by Garrett Leigh
Book Review: What Remains by Garrett Leigh
At this point, I know what I’m getting into with a Leigh novel, such as developed characters and devastating emotional impact. This book is no exception, and it was the best and worst sort of vacation read. Leigh doesn’t just drop us into an established relationship and guide us through the outcomes of amnesia resulting … Continue reading Book Review: What Remains by Garrett Leigh
Book Review: Impact by Nikki Markham
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
Book Review: Protection (Mobsters + Billionaires #2) by Kelly Fox
Read my review of the first book in the Mobsters + Billionaires series, Extradition. It’s no secret that I’ll read pretty much anything Fox writes at this point, but even though I ended up loving the first book, I wasn’t sure this series would live up to the world Fox created in Texas. I am … Continue reading Book Review: Protection (Mobsters + Billionaires #2) by Kelly Fox
Book Review: Autumn of the Witch (Seasons of the Lukoi #4) by Iris Foxglove
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

Book Review: The Shepherd (The Game #6) by Cara Dee
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: Rediscovered (Do-Over #2) by E.M. Denning
This book continues the tale of the other groom in the failed arranged married from the first story, along with evoking plenty of thematic echoes to create an excellent duet of stories. Denning held back a lot of Harrison’s half of the story in Rearranged in order not to spoil this half of the narrative. … Continue reading Book Review: Rediscovered (Do-Over #2) by E.M. Denning
Book Review: Unraveling the Threads of Fate by Alice Winters
This assumption is on me, but when I read the back cover description of this book, I assumed the main characters would be the action hero sort. Military, spies, etc. Imagine my surprise when, instead, Alex is a high school English teacher, and Bishop works for a company owned by his wealthy family. This shot … Continue reading Book Review: Unraveling the Threads of Fate by Alice Winters

Steffan
Book Review: Inferno (Hammer and Fist: Geminatus #1) by Jennifer Cody
The author advertised that this book could be read before or after Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1), but I read it second per the publishing dates. This order worked well for two reasons. First, characters from the other book provide delightful cameos in this novel (and yes, Lex and co. are as … Continue reading Book Review: Inferno (Hammer and Fist: Geminatus #1) by Jennifer Cody
Book Review: Roped In (Lone Star #2) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
Read my review of Lone Star #1: Tending Tyler. If you’ve been following my reviews, you know that this author pairing is an insta-read for me. Especially for their east meets west stories, and doubly so when that trope includes a rodeo cowboy. This particular installment of that concept isn’t my favorite so far, but … Continue reading Book Review: Roped In (Lone Star #2) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
Book Review: Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1) by Jennifer Cody
I’m really into the genre differences between urban fantasy and paranormal romance, especially when the main character includes supernatural traits, and this book takes that distinction to an entirely new level. The unique spin Cody puts on the fantasy elements of this series is that the non-humans are from different dimensions for which Earth is … Continue reading Book Review: Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1) by Jennifer Cody
Book Review: Ornamental (Irons & Works #8) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Irons & Works series: Books 1 through 6 + 2 bonus novellasScratcher (#7) We return to the Irons & Works tattoo shop for another visit to this excellent universe. You’d think we’d be running out of characters, but Lindsey effortlessly weaves together the “next generation” working … Continue reading Book Review: Ornamental (Irons & Works #8) by E.M. Lindsey
Book Review: Bellamy (Sons of the Fallen #5) by Jaclyn Osborn
Read my reviews of the first 4 books in the Sons of the Fallen series. The fated mate connection between Bellamy (avatar of Lust) and Phoenix (demon and all-around snarky dude) has been teased for a few books. Though we have only seen their interactions from other perspectives until now, their eventual clash was less … Continue reading Book Review: Bellamy (Sons of the Fallen #5) by Jaclyn Osborn
Book Review: Spirited Situation (Ghostly Guardians #1) by Louisa Masters
This book popped close to the top of the list when I began to intentionally search out urban fantasy stories emphasizing queer characters instead of queer paranormal romances. A difference between the two exists, even when one of the central characters in this book has a paranormal ability. The romance between Josh and Ewan is … Continue reading Book Review: Spirited Situation (Ghostly Guardians #1) by Louisa Masters
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
