This series is described as “light-hearted” in the cover description, and I suppose this book is when compared to other works by Lindsey. Carter is a cinnamon roll, and Rhys has the hard edges for them to mesh perfectly. However, both men carry a certain amount of emotional damage that doesn’t make a relationship easy, … Continue reading Book Review: Without a Doubt (Love Starts Here #1) by E.M. Lindsey
Book Review: Pretty Obsessed (Pretty Broken #1) by J.R. Gray
Rock star romances can be a mixed bag for me, but Gray had me at "cinnamon roll writer" and Emory and River's incredibly unique meet-cute. As their interactions progressed, Gray also provided me with one of my favorite tropes ever (idiots in love) as Emory and River both try to hide their (sometimes low-, sometimes … Continue reading Book Review: Pretty Obsessed (Pretty Broken #1) by J.R. Gray

Book Review: Cryptic (Puzzles #1) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga
I’ve loved everything I’ve read by this pair of authors, so I knew I had to check out their newest foray into the romantic thriller genre.

Review: Scratcher (Irons and Works #7) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Irons and Works series. I absolutely adored the Irons and Works series, and while it is definitely an author’s prerogative to state that a series is finished, I’m certainly not mad that Lindsey changed their mind about this one. We return to the Irons and Works … Continue reading Review: Scratcher (Irons and Works #7) by E.M. Lindsey

Review: What We May Be by Layla Reyne
I love a good poly romance, and I love a good mystery, so when this one came highly recommended by fellow readers, I knew I had to give it a shot. Reyne immediately upended my expectations of this story by weaving a second-chance element into the dynamic between her three extraordinary heroes rather than throwing … Continue reading Review: What We May Be by Layla Reyne
