How to Bang a Billionaire (Book 1) Young billionaire connects with college student (or is it the other way around?), and they develop a relationship that relies more on physical chemistry than romantic gestures. Despite the sexy moments of this story, the main draw for powering through this book is Hall’s elegant writing and the … Continue reading Review: Arden St. Ives Series by Alexis Hall
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 … Continue reading Review: A Cold Hard Truth (Real Good Lie #2) by Kate Hawthorne
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 … Continue reading Review: Love Always by Riley Hart
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 it’s always fun … Continue reading Review: Finding Home Series by Lily Morton
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 to … Continue reading Review: Trouble With Triads Series by E. M. Denning
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 … Continue reading Review: Bears in the Woods by K. C. Wells
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 … Continue reading Review: Middleman by Jane Rylon
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, … Continue reading Review: Inferno Series by J. R. Gray
Review: Wrecked: Guardians Series (Part 2) by Kelly Fox
Read my reviews of the first two books in the Wrecked: Guardians series, Hard Target and Full Contact Most Wanted (Book 3) I adore this series and author, so I gleefully re-read the first two books right before starting this one on its release day. It more than lived up to its predecessors while further … Continue reading Review: Wrecked: Guardians Series (Part 2) by Kelly Fox
Review: A Real Good Lie by Kate Hawthorne
I’m a sucker for the fake relationship trope, so I was excited that one of my favorite romance writers came out with a new book featuring just that thing. Though this novel is less kinky than some of Hawthorne’s other works, it still features the excellent writing, characterization, and storytelling I’ve come to expect from … Continue reading Review: A Real Good Lie by Kate Hawthorne

Review: A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer
I’m not sure what I expected of this book, but it was about a million times better than I anticipated. The characters, story, and situation were more exciting than I could have imagined, and it all packed an amazing emotional punch at the end. It’s one of those harder to categorize books: not quite a … Continue reading Review: A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer
Review: No Surrender (No Regrets #1) by Nora Phoenix
This book is the first spinoff to the No Shame series by the same author. I’m pretty sure it can be read as a stand-alone, but I both highly recommend it and think that readers who enjoy this book will likely also enjoy going back to read those books as well. Go ahead. I’ll wait. … Continue reading Review: No Surrender (No Regrets #1) by Nora Phoenix
Review: Us Series by A. M. Arthur
This post reviews each of the available books in the Us series: Here For Us (#1)Sound of Us (#2)Uniquely Us (#3)Heart of Us (#4) Here For Us (Book 1) This novel is a slow-burn romance between three very different men, and I don’t just refer to their disparate ages. It also includes their socioeconomic statuses, … Continue reading Review: Us Series by A. M. Arthur
Review: Lust & Longing by E.M. Denning
It takes strong characterization to create two characters in a single scene and have me believe they're meant to be together forever—and then split them up for 20 years. It takes even stronger characterization for me to stick with the point-of-view character over those 20 years when he's kind of a jerk for many of … Continue reading Review: Lust & Longing by E.M. Denning
Review: The Four Series by Sloane Kennedy
This review includes the books currently available in The Four series: Forgotten: Luca (#1)Foreseen: Lex (#2)Forgiven: Con (#3) Forgotten: Luca (Book 1) This book can be read as a stand-alone story, but it works best in the context of two previous novels by Kennedy: Atonement (Protectors #6) and Unbroken (Protectors #12). Thematically, this story fits … Continue reading Review: The Four Series by Sloane Kennedy
Review: Inevitable by Briar Prescott
For touching on so many stressful subjects, this was a remarkably low-angst book. I was immediately intrigued by Drew and Bas' dynamic, even before the first time they appear on page together. The sparks between Drew and Ezra were also blatant, and I knew I had to find out how these three characters finally came … Continue reading Review: Inevitable by Briar Prescott
Review: Licking Thicket Series by Lucy Lennox & May Archer
This post contains reviews of the currently available books in the Licking Thicket series: Flakes (#0.5)Fakers (#1)Liars (#2)Fools (#3) Flakes (Book 0.5) This novella blends onscreen sparks and sexiness with a narrative that provides the necessary context for the current relationship (or lack thereof) status of the two main characters. Ryder and Colin have walked … Continue reading Review: Licking Thicket Series by Lucy Lennox & May Archer
Review: He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Sara Dobie Bauer
Disclaimer: I am friends with this author; however, I purchased this ebook for full price. Another Christmas in July treat, except this novella is less sweet and more vaguely terrifying. Bauer manipulates the Santa Claus trope to create an otherworldly being who fulfills the role of Santa Claus but with significantly less cheer. Kris latches … Continue reading Review: He Sees You When You’re Sleeping by Sara Dobie Bauer
Review: Prince Charming by Sean Ashcroft
July is the perfect time to read about Christmas, right? This romantic comedy escapism fits the bill, and it turns out that I'm a sucker for nobility in disguise, especially in the contemporary setting. Add in a dash of the "fake boyfriend" trope, and it's like Ashcroft wrote this novel just for me. Andy is … Continue reading Review: Prince Charming by Sean Ashcroft
