Broken Dove (Fantasyland #4) by Kristen Ashley Interrelated fantasy series featuring a different couple in each book. Broken Dove would not sit alone well.

All The Rage by T.M. Frazier Standalone, related to the King Series, but stands alone well. They call me Rage. My real name is like a shadow, always close behind, but never quite able to catch up.

Dirty by Kylie Scott 1st in the new Dive Bar series of related standalones.

The Rocker Who Savors Me by Terri Anne Browning Interconnected standalone.

Rebel (Renegades #2) by Skye Jordan Interrelated standalone I read Reckless by Skye Jordan (currently FREE with a $1.99 audio upgrade), the first in the Renegades Series, back in 2013.

Bounty (Colorado Mountain Series #7) by Kristen Ashley Can definitely Stand alone, but will be so much better when you know all the side characters.

The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley Alpha male fantasy. Interrelated Series. Can stand alone.

How do you do it justice? I haven’t stopped thinking… Read More

But it’s Kristen Ashley, and I’ve heard… Read More
Bare Your Soul by Rochelle Paige Standalone Adult Contemporary/Erotic Novella What a satisfying read! I don’t read a lot of novellas, because if I’m totally in love with a story, it will always feel too short, rushed, or missing something. But Bare Your Soul by Rochelle Paige had almost every element I love in a book wrapped up in a… Read More
Appealed by Emma Chase Humorous Adult Contemporary. Third in a series but can very easily stand alone. Wow. Another home run from Emma Chase, the queen of male Point of View.
