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. Though none of the characters is a Texan former rodeo cowboy, their combined voice shines through the intriguing combination of Derek, NYC detective, and Matthew, a profiler from New … Continue reading Book Review: Cryptic (Puzzles #1) by Jodi Payne & B.A. Tortuga

Review: Dual Defiance (Duality #3) by Kate Hawthorne

Read my reviews of the previous books in the Duality series: Dual Destruction (#1)Dual Surrender (#2) Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this novel from the author.

Read my reviews of the previous books in the Necessary Evils series: Unhinged (#1)Psycho (#2) Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this novel from the author.

Review: Play Dirty (Wages of Sin #2) by Onley James & Neve Wilder

Read my review of Wages of Sin #1: Bad Habits I had so much fun with the first book in this series that I immediately pounced on the second installment the day it was available. Jonah and Caspian from the previous book make appearances as appropriate, but the focus here is very much on Madigan … Continue reading Review: Play Dirty (Wages of Sin #2) by Onley James & Neve Wilder

Review: Bad Habits (Wages of Sin #1) by Onley James & Neve Wilder

This book is another recent binge-read that I enjoyed every moment of. Everything about it should have been ridiculous, but all the characters wormed their way under my skin until I had to see what happens next. The plot is delightfully twisty, requiring both an assassin and hacker’s skills to solve, and even when things … Continue reading Review: Bad Habits (Wages of Sin #1) by Onley James & Neve Wilder

Review: Enemies Like You by Annika Martin & Joanna Chambers

I have so many books on my to-be-read pile at this point that when I’m tempted to buy another, I’ve started glancing at the top few reviews. And because I’m contrary, reviewers with complaints tend to make me even more interested in this book, which was definitely the case here. The first few chapters clarify … Continue reading Review: Enemies Like You by Annika Martin & Joanna Chambers

Review: Trinity Masters Series by Mari Carr & Lila Dubois

Primal Passion (Book 2) I abandoned the first book in this series at about 70%. The three-way arranged marriage via secret society concept intrigued me. Unfortunately, the book used it more as an excuse for three characters to launch immediately into sexual escapades without any personal connection. By the time the external plot showed up, … Continue reading Review: Trinity Masters Series by Mari Carr & Lila Dubois
