Book Review: Fine Line (Irons and Works: Key Largo #10) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my reviews of previous books in the Irons and Works series: Free Hand (#1) | Blank Canvas (#2) | American Traditional (#3) | Bio-Mechanical (#4) | Stick and Poke (#5) | Scarification (#6) | Scratcher (#7) | Ornamental (#8) | Snakebites (#9) | To Touch the Light | Last-Minute Walk-In Though this book fits in the larger scope of Lindsey’s Irons and Works series,Continue reading “Book Review: Fine Line (Irons and Works: Key Largo #10) by E.M.

Book Review: Wildfire (In Vino Veritas) by Garrett Leigh
Read my reviews of the previous series set in the same world, Vino & Veritas. Since Leigh wrote one of my favorite books of the previous series set in this world, I immediately started with hers to revisit my favorite bar in Vermont. The heroes from the earlier book are strong secondary characters here, but thisContinue reading “Book Review: Wildfire (In Vino Veritas) by Garrett Leigh”
Book Review: Necessary Space by Kate Hawthorne
Hawthorne is one of my must-buy authors because she writes compelling romances that are more than just a collection of tropes. Sure, it’s easy to describe this book as a “kinky age-gap romance,” but Hendrix and Miles are more than their ages and their relationship is about far more than kink. That being said, IContinue reading “Book Review: Necessary Space by Kate Hawthorne”
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, theContinue reading “Book Review: Wholly Trinity (Les’s Bar #3) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga”
Book Review: Taste of Greed (Carnal Tower #3) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Carnal Tower series: Shades of Lust (#1) | Waiting on Forever (#2) Though previous readers of this series have met both main characters beforehand, new readers should have no trouble with this installment as a stand-alone. In the prologue, Lindsey sends us briefly back in time to King’sContinue reading “Book Review: Taste of Greed (Carnal Tower #3) by E.M. Lindsey”
Book Review: The Rest of the Story by Tal Bauer
This author’s books might have romance at their core, but he never fails to suck me into the overall story that is always so much greater than the spark between two characters. Morgan certainly isn’t looking for romance at the beginning of this book. He’s barely looking for a home, but he’s resigned to playingContinue reading “Book Review: The Rest of the Story by Tal Bauer”
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 heroesContinue reading “Book Review: What He Learns (Desires: New Beginnings #1) by E.M. Denning”
Book Review: Like I Needed (Heather Bay #3) by Charlie Novak
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Heather Bay series: Like I Pictured (#0.5) | Like I Promised (#1) | Like I Wished (#2) I couldn’t figure out why I had mixed feelings about this book until I slept on it after finishing. No uncertainty about the quality of the book—as usual, Novak delivers with herContinue reading “Book Review: Like I Needed (Heather Bay #3) by Charlie Novak”
Book Review: Third Time Lucky by Aurora Crane
The world-building nerd in me loves when authors write multiple stories in the same universe, even if the characters and events can stand alone. This is my third visit to this low-key shared world, and I thoroughly enjoy the sprawling connections of friendship and family that link the characters. And though the previous books wereContinue reading “Book Review: Third Time Lucky by Aurora Crane”
