I figured out pretty quickly that my reading tastes don’t necessarily run to the typical mafia romance conceits, in which the suave, capable mob guy swoops in to save (in whatever capacity) the other main character. However, I was more than willing to take a chance on this subgenre in the hands of one ofContinue reading “Book Review: Rapture by E.M. Lindsey”

Book Review: Sins That Define Us (Madly Ever After #3) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Madly Ever After series: Sins That Find Us (#1) | Sins That Bind Us (#2) In another world, more of this trilogy delved deeper into the history of and relationships between the complicated dynamics between Kane, Phoenix, James, and Ari. I will never penalize an author in aContinue reading “Book Review: Sins That Define Us (Madly Ever After #3) by E.M. Lindsey”
Book Review: Sins That Bind Us (Madly Ever After #2) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my review of the first book in the Madly Ever After series, Sins That Find Us. Lindsey doesn’t leave us hanging off the cliff they left us in the previous book for long.

Book Review: Attraction (Mobsters + Billionaires #3) by Kelly Fox
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Mobsters + Billionaires series: This book made me realize why I don’t usually go in for mafia romances – because often, the characters in those don’t realize that they are clichés. Here, Fox makes all of her mobsters (and her billionaires) extremely self-aware of the rolesContinue reading “Book Review: Attraction (Mobsters + Billionaires #3) by Kelly Fox”
Book Review: Extradition (Mobsters + Billionaires #1) by Kelly Fox
Kelly Fox lulled me into a pattern of books set in Texas only to blow me out of the water with her depiction of New York City. Like it says on the tin, mobsters and billionaires are a departure from her previous works, but this author’s grasp on inherent human nature makes this book withContinue reading “Book Review: Extradition (Mobsters + Billionaires #1) by Kelly Fox”
