Book Review: Savior Complex (Wild Heart Ranch #3) by Kelly Fox
Read my reviews of previous books in the Wild Heart Ranch series: Sworn Enemy (#1) | Good Behavior (#2) In a series that has multiple ties between the books but which the author also kind of wants to offer as a stand-alone, it can be difficult to set the scene for readers.…

Book Review: Heaven’s River (Bobiverse #4) by Dennis E. Taylor
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Bobiverse series: We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (#1) | For We Are Many (#2) | All These Worlds (#3) The previous three books in this series work as a complete trilogy, but life doesn’t stop when the curtain closes. The versions of Bob…

Book Review: Conduit Crisis (Ghostly Guardians #3) by Louisa Masters
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Ghostly Guardians series: Spirited Situation (#1) | Vortex Conundrum (#2) Though each book in this series features a brand-new romantic connection, the overarching plot means that this is not a series of stand-alone novels set in the same world. For this installment, the…

Book Review: Pretty Wreck (Pretty Broken #3) by J.R. Gray
Read my reviews of previous books in the Pretty Broken series: Pretty Obsessed (#1) | Pretty Toxic (#2) This book features the, to this point, least-known member of the band to readers. Gray sets us up to immediately care about Alister as much as the others, however, since this book opens with…

Book Review: Liar’s Gambit (The Elite) by Kelly Fox
Fox writes her morally gray characters so well that I wasn’t surprised to learn she’d been invited to take part in this multi-author series. This novella was easy to read in a single sitting, featuring plenty of the author’s patented “murder swoon.” On the surface, Wilhelm and Nigel are stereotypical…

Book Review: This Will Hurt I by Cara Dee
One of the review notes I left to myself while reading this book is “Yep, this will hurt.” From page 1, I was hooked on Jake, especially with how Dee brings him to life so well as a former servicemember. In fact, Dee’s usual excellent character work means that I…

Book Review: In Darkness and Dank (Monsters & Mayhem) by K.L. Hiers
Read my review of the previous book in the Monsters & Mayhem series, Lightning Born by Sam Burns. Though this book is advertised as a dark romance, horror-retelling, et cetera, it really isn’t. The book opens with classic jungle adventure vibes combined with a healthy dose of modern chemistry, and…

Book Review: Unmanageable (In Vino Veritas) by Leslie McAdam
Read my reviews of previous books in the In Vino Veritas series: Wildfire by Garrett Leigh | Counterpoint by J.E. Birk Read my reviews of the previous series set in the same world, Vino & Veritas. I was hesitant going into this book because even though I enjoy relationships with a power…

Book Review: Necessary Time (All in Good Time #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my review of the previous book in the All in Good Time series, Necessary Space. Being a long-time fan of an author means that it’s easy to have faith in a book despite it including a trope that doesn’t typically appeal to me. In this case, it’s the age-gap…

Book Review: Scoreless Game (On the Board #2) by Anna Zabo & L.A. Witt
Read my review of the first book in the On the Board series, Rookie Mistake. I generally try to stay away from overt cliches in my book reviews, but sometimes I can’t resist a few when I’m taking notes to myself as I read. This book is far from cliché,…

Book Review: Nightingale (Virtuous Sinners) by Laura Lascarso
Read my reviews of other books in the Virtuous Sinners series: Day of Judgment by Briar Kearney & Aurora Crane | Speak and Obey by Ki Brightly & M.D. Gregory Kahlil and Julien share a lot of complicated backstory because of how they grew up together and into the complicated…

Book Review: Split Rock Ranch Series by Rory Maxwell
This post includes reviews of the following books in the Split Rock Ranch series: Something Undeniable (#1) | Something Unexpected (#2) Something Undeniable (Split Rock Ranch Book 1) I’ve been shying away from age-gap romance stories lately, but this new author has been on my radar, and I didn’t mind…

Book Review: Sleepwalkers (Garden of Fiends #2) by Daniel May
Read my review of the first book in the Garden of Fiends series, Crimson Halo. Though the author has chosen to set this book in the same series and world as his previous vampire novel, it can be read as a true stand-alone, even with an excellent cameo appearance. In…

Book Review: What He Finds (Desires: New Beginnings #2) by E.M. Denning
Read my review of the first book in the Desires: New Beginnings series, What He Learns. The combination of experienced Dominant and new or less experienced submissive is such a common trope in kink romance that it takes a lot to make something new out of the storyline. However, whether…

Book Review: Daybreak (Immortals Descending #3) by Iris Foxglove
Read my reviews of previous books in the Immortals Descending series: Storm Front (#1) | Shadowfall (#2) The latest book in this fantastic series gives off some pretty distinct horror vibes at the start, but only to evoke the proper mood for what haunts Cillian throughout the rest of the book. He…

March Wrap-Up & April Goals
I had grand plans for last month, but got caught up in the intersection of physical and mental health issues that reduced my productivity output to a few book reviews and way too much time playing World of Warcraft. It’s more than a bit frustrating, but I’m trying to be…

Book Review: Counterpoint (In Vino Veritas) by J.E. Birk
Read my review of another book set in the In Vino Veritas series, Wildfire by Garrett Leigh. Read my reviews of the previous series set in the same world, Vino & Veritas. I did not read the book in the previous series set in this world that introduces these characters, but…

Book Review: Love Thy Brother (Rebel Kings MC #4) by Garrett Leigh
Read my reviews of previous books in the Rebel Kings MC series: Devil’s Dance (#1) | Saint’s Song (#2) | Forgive Me Father (#3) We’ve had glimpses of River, little brother of the Rebel Kings MC president, through all the previous books in this series, and I thought I already knew his character.…
