Review: Breaking the Rules (Triskelion #1) by Jodi Payne & B. A. Tortuga
This book is the first I've read by either of these authors, and I immediately spent the next few days reading more of their work after finishing this one.

A. Tortuga
Review: Blood in the Water by Kate Hawthorne & E.M. Denning
Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this book from the authors. This reaction didn’t happen when I read the previous co-written books by these authors, but it turns out when you combine Hawthorne’s steamy angst with Denning’s sweet feels and add a healthy dose of supernatural…you get tears. Like, all the tears. They’re good … Continue reading Review: Blood in the Water by Kate Hawthorne & E.M. Denning

Review: Dual Surrender (Duality #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my review of the first book in the Duality series, Dual Destruction. Hawthorne mentioned on social media that this was a difficult book to write, and part of me worried that this book would not mesh, thematically, with the previous installment of this trilogy. It features an established couple, and their lifestyle as white-collar … Continue reading Review: Dual Surrender (Duality #2) by Kate Hawthorne
Review: “Sanguine” by Sierra Simone
Simone packs a wallop into two short chapters in this excellent paranormal romance story. It appears pretty self-explanatory on the surface: vampire and priest meet, and sexy shenanigans ensue. However, Simone puts her own twist on how vampires work, the priest is not quite a priest, and the shenanigans are surprisingly humorous and sweet (along … Continue reading Review: “Sanguine” by Sierra Simone

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.

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.

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 … Continue reading Review: Dirty Secret by Ki Brightly & M. D. Gregory
