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 novellas Scratcher (#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”…

Book Review: Waiting on Forever (Carnal Tower #2) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my review of the first book in the Carnal Tower series, Shades of Lust. One of the similarities between this book and the first in the series that I noticed, which may or may not be a trend for the rest of the books, is that the heat level is very much on the…

Book Review: Shades of Winter (For Everything a Season #1) by E.M. Lindsey
Lindsey is officially the only author I know who can write a “low-angst” book that still leaves me absolutely aching for the characters. Liam and Dante shouldn’t work together, which of course means that they absolutely do. I adored the way this story switches up the traditional bodyguard trope formula by having the characters hook…

Book Review: Shades of Lust (Carnal Tower #1) by E.M. Lindsey
Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this novel from the author. Once again, Lindsey has written a low angst book that doesn’t stint on being packed with feels. Low angst doesn’t mean low emotion, after all, and this author is adept at teasing out the connections between characters that are not evident at first…

Book Review: Broken Chains MC Series by E.M. Lindsey
This post includes reviews of the books in the Broken Chains MC series: Tidal Wave (#1) Backfire (#2) Broken Wings (#3) Wicked (#4) Tidal Wave (Broken Chains MC #1) I’ve never read an MC (motorcycle club) romance and never really thought it’d be my jam. But since E.M. Lindsey is one of my favorite authors,…

Book Review: Open Ice Hit (Sin Bin #1) by E.M. Lindsey & Marina Vivancos
I should state for the record that my mom grew up in Queens, but my best friend lives in Brooklyn, so I can’t really choose sides between the Sea Dogs or the Phantoms. Two players from rival teams falling in love seems a bit cliché, except the fact that Tommy and Vicki aren’t on the…

Book Review: Without a Doubt (Love Starts Here #1) by E.M. Lindsey
This series is described as “light-hearted” in the cover description, and I suppose this book is when compared to other works by Lindsey. Carter is a cinnamon roll, and Rhys has the hard edges for them to mesh perfectly. However, both men carry a certain amount of emotional damage that doesn’t make a relationship easy,…

Review: Scratcher (Irons and Works #7) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Irons and Works series. I absolutely adored the Irons and Works series, and while it is definitely an author’s prerogative to state that a series is finished, I’m certainly not mad that Lindsey changed their mind about this one. We return to the Irons and Works…

Review: The Other Side of Here by E.M. Lindsey
I knew going into this book that it would wreck me, both because of one of the characters’ relationship situation and how well Lindsey manipulates language to tug at the heartstrings. I did not expect two of the characters to share a similar history—one in the immediate context and one further down the road, but…

Review: Love Beyond Measure Series by E.M. Lindsey
The Edge of Heaven (Book 1) On the surface, this book shouldn’t really work. It feels like “how many romance novel tropes can we cram into one story?” Let’s see: fake date to a wedding, falling for the escort, hidden identity, getting back at an ex, idiots in love, and finally, there’s only one bed!…

Review: Breaking the Rules Series by E.M. Lindsey
Renegades (Book 1) After finishing the Irons & Works series, I immediately dove into this spin-off set of tales that feature Ted House, the home set up by two of the tattoo artists for LGBTQ kids in need. Even better, cameos appear by many of the familiar characters from the previous series, even though the…

Review: On the Market Series by E.M. Lindsey
Love Him Free (Book 1) A Jewish baker and a deaf adult film star walk into a bar. It sounds like the beginning of a joke, except here the joke is that they never go to a bar, but the characters are very much real. Simon is a small-town guy battling massive amounts of anxiety…

Review: Cloudy With a Chance of Love by E.M. Lindsey, Kate Hawthorne & E.M. Denning
After meeting these three characters in another book, showing them enjoying their happily ever after, I had to know how they reached that point. I was not disappointed by their love story. On the surface, Collin, Spencer, and Max lead very different lives. They run the spectrum from age to education to income, but none…
