Book Review: Underdog (In Vino Veritas) by L.A. Witt

Read my reviews of previous books in the In Vino Veritas series: Wildfire by Garrett Leigh | Counterpoint by J.E. Birk | Unmanageable by Leslie McAdam Read my reviews of the previous series set in the same world, Vino & Veritas. This book has the feel of elements of an opposites-attract romance, but differing circumstances in life don’t necessarily … Continue reading Book Review: Underdog (In Vino Veritas) by L.A. Witt

Read my reviews of the previous books in the Pretty Broken series: Pretty Obsessed (#1) | Pretty Toxic (#2) | Pretty Wreck (#3) The conflicting relationship between Iris and Cas has been the unaddressed through line between each of the previous books in this series.

Book Review: A Mage’s Guide to Wicky (R’iyah Family Archives #3) by A.J. Sherwood

Read my reviews of the previous books in the R'iyah Family Archives series: A Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars (#1) | A Mage’s Guide to Aussie Terrors (#2) As much as I love the main trio that has been the focus of the first two books in this series, Wicky is such an enjoyable secondary character that … Continue reading Book Review: A Mage’s Guide to Wicky (R’iyah Family Archives #3) by A.J. Sherwood

Book Review: What They Deserve (Desires: New Beginnings #3) by E.M. Denning

Read my reviews of previous books in the Desires: New Beginnings series: What He Learns (#1) | What He Finds (#2) I’ll be honest; I didn’t love Jade after meeting them as a secondary character earlier in this series. In retrospect, I’m not even sure I can tell you why. Jade certainly did not “owe” anything to … Continue reading Book Review: What They Deserve (Desires: New Beginnings #3) by E.M. Denning

Book Review: Paladin (Jericho’s Boys #1) by Onley James

I count myself among the readers who were thrilled when James announced she would be returning to the world of her Necessary Evils series with a spin-off featuring the “murder muppets” introduced in Moonstruck. Jericho is now a Mulvaney by marriage, which means the band of strays in their early 20s had to come along … Continue reading Book Review: Paladin (Jericho’s Boys #1) by Onley James

What makes it even more special is that … Continue reading Book Review: Relentless (Room For Love #6) by Kate Hawthorne

Book Review: Deal With the Devil (Reckless Damned #3) by Lark Taylor

Read my reviews of previous books in the Reckless Damned series: Devil’s Mark (#1) | Devil May Care (#2) This series could have gotten a bit stale if the next brother in line had connected with another “normal” human. However, River is far from normal, nor is he even human. Mori’s tragic past is why these demons … Continue reading Book Review: Deal With the Devil (Reckless Damned #3) by Lark Taylor

Book Review: Good Behavior (Wild Heart Ranch #2) by Kelly Fox

Read my review of the first book in the Wild Heart Ranch series, Sworn Enemy. I appreciate that Fox includes a note at the beginning of this book explicitly stating that the origins of the relationship in this book are Not Okay. Bram and Nacho may be consenting adults who forged an instant emotional connection, … Continue reading Book Review: Good Behavior (Wild Heart Ranch #2) by Kelly Fox

Book Review: The Magic That Binds (Haelan #1) by A.J. Sherwood

Sherwood launches an imaginative and immersive urban fantasy world with this series opener featuring a delightful mix of primary and secondary characters. I was immediately intrigued by the mystery of how Dag’s “magic” isn’t allowed in this setting, especially when he is blatantly on the side of good, but I was also excited for him … Continue reading Book Review: The Magic That Binds (Haelan #1) by A.J. Sherwood

Book Review: Wholly Trinity (Les’s Bar #3) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga

Read my reviews of the previous books in the Les's Bar series: Just Dex (#1) | Hide Bound (#2) Many books by this author pair fall into the “comfort read” category for me, especially because of the fascinating intersection of city versus cowboy, power exchange, and surprising external story elements. While always coming from unique characters, the … Continue reading Book Review: Wholly Trinity (Les’s Bar #3) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga

Book Review: What He Learns (Desires: New Beginnings #1) by E.M. Denning

This book launches a spin-off collection of stand-alone romances in a previous series. Though I’ve read the earlier books, I’m pretty sure this one works well in isolation, with some previous main characters appearing as strong secondary characters here, not just as treat cameos for loyal readers. Denning introduces the world and the new heroes … Continue reading Book Review: What He Learns (Desires: New Beginnings #1) by E.M. Denning

Book Review: Rookie Mistake (On the Board #1) by Anna Zabo & L.A. Witt

For some reason, hockey romances are one of the few “sports romance” categories I can stand. Something about the typical attitudes and personalities of hockey players makes them more palatable than those of other sports players, and perhaps because it’s a sport I know just enough to be interested in but not enough to be … Continue reading Book Review: Rookie Mistake (On the Board #1) by Anna Zabo & L.A. Witt
