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. Appealed is the 3rd in a series of related standalones, but each can absolutely stand alone easily. Appealed is the final book in the Legal Briefs Series, about 3… Read More
Carpe Diem by Rae Matthews Standalone. Woman’s Fiction/Romance What a unique read! I really enjoyed Rae Matthews’ side splitting novellas, Sasha and Kelly, so as soon as I knew she had a new full length, I jumped on it! Carpe Diem was totally different. Different than Rae’s previous books, and different from any book I have read. Is it a… Read More
Nuts by Alice Clayton Audiobook Review First in the Hudson Valley series of Standalones. Adult Contemporary Romantic Comedy. Alice Clayton has done it again with NUTS, she brought back all the reasons I love her books –sweet, funny, sexy, relatable and real. Nuts was like the perfect romantic comedy that you can see in the movies, and I honestly enjoyed every… Read More
The Mother Road by Meghan Quinn Romantic Comedy. Standalone. Get your kicks on Route 66! I know I did! If you’ve read my blog at all, you know that romantic comedies are my favorite. I love to smile when I read. But only one other author has made me snort laugh this much and dig through my bathroom cabinet for… Read More
Sebring (Unfinished Heroes 5) by Kristen Ashley Contemporary Romance. Related Standalone. Last in the Series. HOW DOES SHE DO IT??? Seriously, with close to 50 books under her belt, Kristen Ashley has never failed to give me a book I love. Sure, some I love more than others, but they all have the magic. That special something that only a… Read More
The Storm (The Storm 3.5) by Samantha Towle Adult Contemporary Novella. Does Not Stand Alone. The Storm Series by Samantha Towle is one of my hands-down favorite series. Jake and Tru are such an amazing couple and I love the whole band. I found out she had a novella coming out just the day before release and I can’t tell you… Read More
Wrapped In Lace by Prescott Lane Adult Contemporary. Takes place over the Holidays. Standalone. Wrapped in Lace by Prescott Lane is a perfect holiday read, but can be enjoyed all year long. It has all the things I love in a book: It’s sweet, sexy, has a little angst, made me laugh and grin throughout, has side characters I absolutely love,… Read More
Changing Course (Wrecked and Ruined 1) by Aly Martinez Adult Contemporary. Standalone. Aly Martinez sure knows how to deliver the feels in a super unique story. I enjoyed the audio version of Changing Course because it was narrated by both male and female, and I enjoyed both of their voices. Brett and his friend Caleb are hot young cops. One… Read More
Perfectly Imperfect by Harper Sloan Adult Contemporary Standalone Perfectly Imperfect by Harper Sloan is an intensely personal book both for Harper and myself. You see, #IamWillow. Willow was perhaps the most relatable character I have ever had the pleasure of “meeting” in a book. I think everyone can find a little of themselves in this book, but for me it… Read More
Reapers & Bastards: An Anthology by Joanna Wylde 4 stories in the Reapers world. Can stand alone. Erotic MC Joanna Wylde’s MC Series, Reapers, and the spin-off Silver Bastards, is one of my favorite series. Reapers and Bastards is a collection of short stories (one is a bit longer) and some cute recipes and tips. This can be read whether… Read More
Walk Through Fire (Chaos 4) by Kristen Ashley Contemporary Biker Romance. Can stand alone, but better read in order. I’m starting to feel like a broken record, but Kristen Ashley has done it again! Walk Through Fire is a nice and long, sweet, sexy, super emotional and totally engrossing second chance romance. This is High and Millie’s story. Given my… Read More
Tied Together by Z.B. Heller M/M Romantic Comedy Standalone To start off the review, I must qualify this with the fact that I am not normally an m/m fan. Nor have I read the Moxie books by ZB Heller beyond a short story. But the promos were so cute, and I just love Zolie, so I wanted to get out… Read More
GREY: Fifty Shades of Grey as told by Christian Companion to Fifty Shades of Grey (Book 1) I know that people may think badly of the Fifty Shades books by EL James, but funny thing is, many of the people that do might not be popular authors today if it weren’t for the books. It was a genre-busting trilogy, making… Read More
Identity Crisis by Rochelle Paige Adult Contemporary. Stands Alone. Identity Crisis was my first Rochelle Paige book and it won’t be my last! It has mystery, action, a likable heroine and a hot, dirty talking Navy SEAL. What more do you need? I read this book so quickly, I feel badly that I am only just writing up my review… Read More
Rock Chick Rescue by Kristen Ashley Book 2 of 8. Each story stands alone, but builds on previous characters. One of my favorite series is the Rock Chick Series by Kristen Ashley. They took me a while to read, but they are pure KA gold. I prefer my audiobooks to be a little cleaner than my kindle books (yes, I… Read More
Asking For It by Lilah Pace Adult Contemporary, Dark. Asking for It by Lilah Pace came with some really strong warnings, and though I don’t usually enjoy very dark books, the blurb and warnings appealed to me. There are definitely some triggers you need to know about right up front. This is about non-consensual sex/rape fantasies, but there are also… Read More
Rock Chick by Kristen Ashley 1st in a series of standalones that build on each other. If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you know that Kristen Ashley is my favorite author. With over 40 amazing books filled with delicious alpha men, I have loved each of them. Rock Chick is the book that started it all,… Read More
Shuttergirl by CD Reiss Adult Contemporary Romance. Standalone. I have only read a little of CD Reiss in the past, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect at all with Shuttergirl. This is her first contemporary romance (not erotic), so it’s a little different than the dominant Jonathan Drazen. In fact, the hero wasn’t really dominant at all, but… Read More
Big Love Abroad by Jasinda Wilder Contemporary Erotic Romance. Full length, complete standalone, can be read as #11 in the Big Girls/Rock Stars Do It Series As much as I love Jasinda Wilder’s writing, I haven’t read all of her books. In fact, I haven’t read beyond book 2 in the Big Girls Series. Since I’m OCD about never reading… Read More
The Virgin Romance Novelist Romantic Comedy. Standalone. I am a huge romantic comedy fan. In fact, I think it may be my favorite genre. But it’s hard to do it right. So many are completely over the top, or the main character is funny by being nasty, which is an absolute no in my book. To me, the perfect romantic… Read More
Deep by Kylie Scott (Stage Dive #4) Can stand alone, but this is the final in the series. Contemporary Rock Star Romance. I’m so sad that the Stage Dive Series has come to an end! I love this series! The books are filled with all of my favorite things: romance, sexy times, lots of humor, and a little angst. Deep… Read More
Blocked by Lisa N. Paul Adult Contemporary standalone Sweet, sexy, and funny, Blocked by Lisa N. Paul was just a pleasure to read. Lisa approached me a while back, asking be to read an early copy. Because of Wicked Book Weekend, I wasn’t able to give it a read back then, but I’m so glad I got to it by… Read More
Until Trevor (Until #2) by Aurora Rose Reynolds Adult Contemporary. Interconnected Standalones (brothers) At the time I write this review, I had already listened to Until Lilly after this. So it has been a while since I listened to this, and I honestly don’t have a lot of detail memory. But Until Trevor deserves a review, because I LOVED it…. Read More
