Review: Sparrow (Rebel Sky Ranch #2) by Kelly Fox
Read my review of Rebel Sky Ranch #1, Goodnight. Disclaimer: I received an advanced electronic review copy of this book from the author. When I finished this book, I had that lovely mix of utter satisfaction and book hangover (from not being ready to leave the world the author has created). In the middle of…

Now that I’ve finished…

Review: Love Me Whole by Nicky James
I always go into romance novels in which one of the characters has a significant mental health issue with a grain of salt. Since I personally know someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), I went into this book with a whole bucketful. I am not an expert by any means, but as a reader, I…

There is a certain element…

Review: Hell’s Bedroom Series by Tanya Chris
Kitchen Sink Dom (Book 1) Knowing some of the backstory of how this book developed made it even more entertaining: Chris asked for kink suggestions in a social media group and did her best to incorporate as many as possible. What might have been a disjointed connection of sex scenes held together by a plot…

Review: Revolver (Boys of Bow Street #1) by Vera Leigh
Disclaimer: I received an advance electronic copy of this novel from the author. I’m not quite sure how this book ended up on my radar, but I decided to take a chance on accepting a review copy by a debut author because I know how difficult the publishing industry can be to newcomers. I tend…

Review: Camassia Cove Universe by Cara Dee
This post includes reviews of the books in the Camassia Cove Universe series. I’m reading them in a weird mix of the order listed on Amazon and the author’s recommended reading order on her website. Home Out Out for the Holidays Noah Power Play Sleepless Home I’m pretty solid at this point in knowing what…

Review: Psycho (Necessary Evils #2) by Onley James
Read my review of Necessary Evils #1, Unhinged. Disclaimer: I received an advance electronic copy of this novel from the author. If you’ve already read the first book in this series, I probably don’t need to sell you on reading this one. For my part, I knew I’d adore August the moment the earbuds came…

Review: Dirty Secret by Ki Brightly & M. D. Gregory
My favorite part of this novel is that it tackles an issue too often dismissed in real life, in that it is absolutely possible for a woman to be the abuser in a relationship. The authors highlight this so well, in fact, that I encourage readers for which an abusive relationship might trigger an adverse…

Review: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
I like to joke that I know just enough about science to be dangerous but not particularly effective. Apparently, I also know just enough about science to appreciate all the obvious work that Weir has once again put into what is otherwise a classic SF adventure novel without the pesky burden of knowing whether any…

Review: A Cold Hard Truth (Real Good Lie #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my review of the previous book, A Real Good Lie. Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this ebook, though I had fully intended to buy myself a copy if I had not had this opportunity for an early review. Based on the initial interactions between Remington and Sebastian toward the end of the previous…

Review: Love Always by Riley Hart
One day, I will stop reading books on the elliptical that I know will emotionally wreck me. This book was not the day. The connection between Nate and Wren is instantaneous, but this is far from an insta-love romance. Hart balances a fine line between that particular trope (of which I’m not a fan) and…

Review: Finding Home Series by Lily Morton
This post contains reviews for the Finding Home series: Oz (#1) Milo (#2) Gideon (#3) Short Stack (follow-up stories) Oz (Book 1) Though it can stand alone as a book, I’m pleased that I had additional background regarding Silas’ family and family history when going into this book. Henry and Ivo make excellent appearances, and…

Review: Trouble With Triads Series by E. M. Denning
This post includes reviews of the currently available books in the Trouble With Triads series: Spare Room (#1) Spare Parts (#2) Spare Room (Book 1) This story is surprisingly low-angst for how relatively dark things are at the beginning of the book for Alex, the man who first gave up Tristan and moved away only…

Review: Bears in the Woods by K. C. Wells
When you wake up strangely early on the weekend, the only thing to do is burn through a good book. This low-angst romance provided all the warm fuzzies necessary to get me through the rest of the day, and I can only hope that if I’m ever (metaphorically) lost in the woods that bears as…

Review: Middleman by Jane Rylon
I snagged this book because it ticked all the boxes of my latest favorite reads, but especially because an author that I adore mentioned reading it in her online fan group. Though I spent extra money on it because it was not available on Kindle Unlimited, I don’t regret the purchase at all. This book…

Review: A Growl, a Roar, and a Purr (Lions & Tigers & Bears #1) by K. C. Wells
This book is a significant departure from other titles I’ve read by this author, but since my heart belongs to the urban fantasy genre, I knew I had to check it out. In this paranormal romance, Wells explores the shifter and fated mates tropes in this fun action-adventure romp that includes an epic heist and…

Review: Inferno Series by J. R. Gray
Clouded Hell (Book 1) This book is not a dark romance, though it gets pretty dark at times. Not because of the kinks between the main characters, but simply because of the worlds of organized crime and underground fighting they’re involved with. It’s immediately clear, however, that Remi and Dante are anti-heroes rather than villains,…

Review: The Wimberley Chronicles by Kelly Fox
Wimberley has always been a source of curiosity for me after reading Fox’s Wrecked and Wrecked: Guardians series. It’s a private black ops program, it employs Hedy and the Bash Brothers, and other than that…your guess was as good as mine. It turns out, Fox initially wrote a book featuring the full story, then used…
