Five-Star Reads for February 2026
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Like my reviews? The Memories We Made Cara Dee (Remembering Us #1/The Game Series #16) As a long-time fan of this author, I was entirely unsurprised when a prologue meant to set up the conflict in the main story became a full-length novel in itself. Considering Nathan…

Five-Star Reads for December 2025
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Like my reviews? I’ll Tell You What You Are Cara Dee Dee delivers another short, sweet, and sexy take on the intersection of kink and real life as these two best friends finally give a relationship a shot…in the most intense way possible. The weight of Reid…

Five-Star Reads for September 2025
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Like my reviews? The Fall Tal Bauer A surprise release by one of my favorite authors means that I dropped everything and read. And read. And then read some more, because while this book is a slow burn, it is also incredibly long. That doesn’t mean it’s…
-
Five-Star Reads for July 2025
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Like my reviews? Little Did We Know Cara Dee (Mclean Tales #1) After a dozen books in the primary Game series (and so many delicious cameos across probably a dozen more books set in the same world), I hope Dee isn’t surprised by how quickly her dedicated…
-
Five-Star Reads for June 2025
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Like my reviews? Remade Cara Dee (Hillcroft Group #3) This second half picks up immediately where we left the action in the first half, creating a complete romance and external plot arc by the end, but not without putting us through the wringer. Before any resolution to…

Five-Star Reads for May 2025
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Like my reviews? Unmade Cara Dee (Hillcroft Group #2) Dee has lured her loyal readers into her latest romantic suspense series by promising (and delivering) a ton of the crossover potential that makes the sprawling shared world of her books so much fun. However, new readers shouldn’t…
-
Five-Star Reads for February 2025
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Mutual Possession Aurora Crane (Nine Tenths of the Law #1) With this book, Crane not only sets a new record high for possessive characters, she obliterates the competition. The way Kendrick and Spencer think of each other isn’t necessarily sane, but that doesn’t stop their connection from…
-
Five-Star Reads for October 2024
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. Xerxes Descendant Adelaide Blaike (House Epsilon #1) The short version of this review basically boils down to “insert screaming and flailing here.” This author knows that I’m extremely picky about my speculative fiction, so I considered it an honor that she invited me to be a…
-
Five-Star Reads for July 2024
Note: Reviews are listed alphabetically by author’s last name. For the Night Cara Dee (The Game #15) Penelope has always been the outlier within the Mclean House founders as a woman, which only made me more excited to learn more about her and see her find her own happily ever after. We’ve had glimpses of…
-
Five-Star Reads for May 2024
Immersion Play Katherine McIntyre (Leather and Lattes #1) The experienced Dom and naive sub falling for each other is a pretty common trope in kink romance. However, McIntyre elevates this easy relationship shortcut by making the kink element only a small facet of what develops between Micah and Parker. The chemistry between them is visceral…

Book Review: Parts of Us (The Game #14) by Cara Dee
Read my reviews of previous books in The Game series: Top Priority (#1) | Their Boy (#2) | Breathless (#3) | Doll Parts (#4) | Out of the Ashes (#5) | The Shepherd (#6) | Adrift in the Embers (#7) | Hostile Takeover (#8) | Senseless (#9) | The Secret Plan (#10) | Apex Predator (#11) | Prowl (#12) | Hide With Me (#13) I enjoyed Doll Parts,…

Book Review: Daddy Christmas by Cara Dee
I can’t keep my title as a Cara Dee superfan if I don’t read all the things, but I’ll admit that I approached this story with mild trepidation. First because of one of the major tropes, since “forbidden” romance (in this case between people of very different statuses within an office hierarchy) often stresses me…

Rainbow Readers Cruise Blog Tour: Interview with Author Cara Dee
In August 2024, I’m excited to combine two of the loves of my life: cruising and LGBTQ+ fiction and romance. I hope you’ll consider joining me on the first Rainbow Readers Cruise! Until then, I’d love to introduce you to one of the attending authors, Cara Dee. About Cara Dee I’m often awkwardly silent or,…

Con Report: Indies Invade Philly 2023
I’ve never considered myself a “super fan” of anything. Even with my TARDIS and LEGO collections, I’m an average fan of the television show Doctor Who and I don’t keep the boxes that the LEGO come in (considered blasphemy by hardcore builders). But two years ago, I discovered a certain author, binge-read the majority of…

Book Review: Tango Down (The Renegades #4) by Cara Dee
Read my reviews of previous books in The Renegades series: Rogue Launch (#1) | Enemy Combatant (#2) | On the Double (#3) The beginning of this book directly intersects with the action-packed finale of the previous novel. It means that all the various characters I’ve come to care about, main heroes and secondary, are in immediate danger right…
-
Book Review: On the Double (The Renegades #3) by Cara Dee
Read my reviews of previous books in The Renegades series: Rogue Launch (#1) | Enemy Combatant (#2) Reece, River, and Shay Tenley (affectionately known as “TenShay”) are some of my favorite Dee characters across her expansive, connected universe. I’d have read this stand-alone series even without the promise of a book concentrating on this trio,…
-
Book Review: Enemy Combatant (The Renegades #2) by Cara Dee
Read my review of the first book in The Renegades series, Rogue Launch. This series is designed to stand alone, and the heroes of book 1 were brand new even for long-time readers of Dee’s work. In contrast, book 2 is still accessible for new readers, but I had the pleasure to already start firmly…
-
Book Review: Rogue Launch (The Renegades #1) by Cara Dee
I had this crazy idea when this series was announced that all the action would happen concurrently in each book, meaning we’d get full closure for both the external and relationship arcs, with the final installment being an extended wrap-up. I know, I know, totally wishful thinking on my part because Dee is too good…
-
Book Review: This Will Hurt II by Cara Dee
Read my review of the previous book in this duology, This Will Hurt I. The first book in this set didn’t end on an explicit cliffhanger so much as a hinge moment in these main characters’ lives. I adore being an advanced reader for this author, but the downside was definitely the wait between installments…
