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
Review: Subtle Blood (Will Darling Adventures #3) by K. J. Charles
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Will Darling Adventures series: Slippery Creatures (#1)The Sugared Game (#2) In most series in the suspense/thriller realm, even as a subgenre, the overall sense of danger starts small and then grows larger to encompass a threat to more people. Charles subverts this pattern for the Will … Continue reading Review: Subtle Blood (Will Darling Adventures #3) by K. J. Charles
Review: Head Games (Wages of Sin #3) by Onley James & Neve Wilder
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Wages of Sin series: Bad Habits (#1)Play Dirty (#2) A psychologist willing to act as a relationship counselor for a pair of self-proclaimed psychopaths is already an intriguing character to me, so I was hooked on Dr. Tobias Eastman from his first appearance in Play Dirty. … Continue reading Review: Head Games (Wages of Sin #3) by Onley James & Neve Wilder
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: Auctioned Series by Cara Dee
This post includes reviews of all the books in the Auctioned series: Auctioned (#1)Stranded (#2)Deserted (#3)The Job (#3.5)Played (#4)Finished (#5) Auctioned (Book 1) Even though I’ve loved everything I’ve read by this author, I put off reading this book because I knew it would be difficult.

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: 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: High Lonesome by Tanya Chris
Sometimes I read books despite the trigger warnings at the end of the back-cover blurb. In this case, I picked this book because of one of the trigger warnings. I have a professional interest in HIV due to my day job, and I’m always interested in seeing how HIV and HIV prevention are addressed in … Continue reading Review: High Lonesome by Tanya Chris
Review: Pretty Things by Devon McCormack
I genuinely wish I could have given this book five stars. Unfortunately, two issues held me up. First, this book was way too long for what it was. I put it down too often because the action dragged in the first act while Ty and Liam circled their obvious interest in each other, which leads … Continue reading Review: Pretty Things by Devon McCormack
Review: Wrecked: Guardians Series by Kelly Fox
Hard Target (Book 1) The spin-off series to Wrecked features many familiar background faces from the gym, with the bonus of realizing that they're a bad-ass vigilante/mercenary group on the side of the light. I'm sure that this book could be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading the first three books in … Continue reading Review: Wrecked: Guardians Series by Kelly Fox
