Book Review: Rookie Mistake (On the Board #1) by Anna Zabo & L.A. Witt
For some reason, hockey romances are one of the few “sports romance” categories I can stand. Something about the typical attitudes and personalities of hockey players makes them more palatable than those of other sports players, and perhaps because it’s a sport I know just enough to be interested in but not enough to be…

Book Review: Harvester of Bones (SPECTR #3.4) by Jordan L. Hawk
Read my reviews of the previous books in the SPECTR series: SPECTR: The Complete First Series SPECTR: The Complete Second Series Stalker of Shadows (#3.1) Bringer of Night (#3.2) Seeker of Truth (#3.3) Because it had been a long time since I visited this world, I happily re-read the first three books in SPECTR series 3 before diving…

Book Review: A Mage’s Guide to Aussie Terrors (R’iyah Family Archives #2) by A.J. Sherwood
Read my review of the first book in the R’iyah Family Archives series, A Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars I absolutely fell in love with the sweetly quirky characters in the first book in this series, especially in how the multiple types of relationships blended into one love story. I was excited to see these…

Book Review: The Shackles That Hold Us (Magi Accounts #2) by Michele Notaro
Read my reviews of the previous novel and novellas in the Magi Accounts series. I continue to be thoroughly impressed with the worldbuilding that has gone into this familiar yet terrifying vision of our future world with the addition of magi and shifters. Most fiction shows those races coming out on top, but sadly, I…

Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Save an Assassin (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #2) by Jennifer Cody
Read my review of the first book in the Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees series: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer Before this book, I’d read the first installments in three separate series by Jodi Payne. I loved them all so much, that I literally couldn’t have picked what I wanted her to…

Book Review: Until Now (Not Ready for Love #3) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Not Ready for Love series: Not Allowed (#1) To Love You (#2) This book is really the second part of the love story between Wyatt and Grant that starts in Not Allowed. Unfortunately for us, Hawthorne traumatizes her readers with a significant time gap between the two…

Review: Saint’s Song (Rebel Kings MC #2) by Garrett Leigh
Read my review of the first book in the Rebel Kings MC series, Devil’s Dance. This book picks up pretty much where the previous one left off, but with a twist. Now we also get scenes from Saint’s point of view! Though the previous installment did not end on a cliffhanger, it was already obvious…

Book Review: What Remains by Garrett Leigh
At this point, I know what I’m getting into with a Leigh novel, such as developed characters and devastating emotional impact. This book is no exception, and it was the best and worst sort of vacation read. Leigh doesn’t just drop us into an established relationship and guide us through the outcomes of amnesia resulting…

Book Review: Protection (Mobsters + Billionaires #2) by Kelly Fox
Read my review of the first book in the Mobsters + Billionaires series, Extradition. It’s no secret that I’ll read pretty much anything Fox writes at this point, but even though I ended up loving the first book, I wasn’t sure this series would live up to the world Fox created in Texas. I am…

Book Review: To Love You (Not Ready for Love #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my review of the first book in the Not Ready for Love series, Not Allowed. This book’s first scene takes place right after Wyatt leaves for college in the previous novel, but luckily, Hawthorne doesn’t make us relive THAT EPILOGUE. Probably because she is too busy cackling with sadistic glee over a different time…

Book Review: The Shepherd (The Game #6) by Cara Dee
Read my previous reviews of the books in The Game series: Top Priority (The Game #1) Their Boy (The Game #2) Breathless (The Game #3) Doll Parts (The Game #4) Out of the Ashes (The Game #5) If you can count on anything about this series, you can depend on Dee’s unpredictability when it comes to the varying characters and…

Book Review: Rediscovered (Do-Over #2) by E.M. Denning
This book continues the tale of the other groom in the failed arranged married from the first story, along with evoking plenty of thematic echoes to create an excellent duet of stories. Denning held back a lot of Harrison’s half of the story in Rearranged in order not to spoil this half of the narrative.…

Book Review: Unraveling the Threads of Fate by Alice Winters
This assumption is on me, but when I read the back cover description of this book, I assumed the main characters would be the action hero sort. Military, spies, etc. Imagine my surprise when, instead, Alex is a high school English teacher, and Bishop works for a company owned by his wealthy family. This shot…

Book Review: Roped In (Lone Star #2) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
Read my review of Lone Star #1: Tending Tyler. If you’ve been following my reviews, you know that this author pairing is an insta-read for me. Especially for their east meets west stories, and doubly so when that trope includes a rodeo cowboy. This particular installment of that concept isn’t my favorite so far, but…
-
Book Review: Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1) by Jennifer Cody
I’m really into the genre differences between urban fantasy and paranormal romance, especially when the main character includes supernatural traits, and this book takes that distinction to an entirely new level. The unique spin Cody puts on the fantasy elements of this series is that the non-humans are from different dimensions for which Earth is…

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: Bellamy (Sons of the Fallen #5) by Jaclyn Osborn
Read my reviews of the first 4 books in the Sons of the Fallen series. The fated mate connection between Bellamy (avatar of Lust) and Phoenix (demon and all-around snarky dude) has been teased for a few books. Though we have only seen their interactions from other perspectives until now, their eventual clash was less…
