Catching Carly (Barley Cross Book 2) by Emma Hart Romantic Comedy. Can Easily Stand Alone. Being Brooke was one of my favorite books of 2016, so I couldn’t wait for Catching Carly by Emma Hart. Brooke was so over the top, that Carly seemed like the sane one in the friendship, so I expected more of a serious book with… Read More
Pucked Off by Helena Hunting Narrated by Rose Dioro and Jacob Morgan 6th in a series but can TOTALLY stand alone. Wow! Where the heck did this book come from?

Three Simple Rules by Nikki Sloane Narrated by Muffy Newton 1st in an interrelated series. Can standalone but leaves you hanging for the next couple.

Wardrobe Malfunction by Samantha Towle Standalone. Contemporary Romance/Romantic Comedy. I have to admit, I love a Hollywood romance. You know, the kind when the movie star falls for the regular girl. It’s a trope that’s been done a lot, but since Samantha Towle brought me one of my favorite Rock Star Series, I figured she could do the same with… Read More
Below Deck by Tara Sivec Erotic Romance. Standalone. Get ready to get wet! (boat pun). I had no idea Below Deck by Tara Sivec was going to be such a hot little vacation in the Virgin Islands! I knew she was writing a romance on a luxury yacht after watching the reality show Below Deck, but I had no idea… Read More

Sex Says by Max Monroe Romantic Comedy. Standalone. I love weirdos. Seriously, some of my favorite all time books have the weirdest, quirkiest characters. Sex Says made me certain — I’m a weirdo lover. Because I can’t even tell you how much I friggin loved the complete crazy that was Sex Says by Max Monroe. Have you ever had one… Read More
Mack Daddy by Penelope Ward Standalone. Contemporary Romance I didn’t even read the blurb for Mack Daddy by Penelope Ward before jumping in. I saw single dad and just grabbed it.

Dirty Dealers (Dirty Players #3) by Tia Louise 3rd in a Series. Can Stand Alone. Dirty Dealers by Tia Louise is marketed as a standalone spin-off to the Dirty Players series.

I have no idea how they wrote it together, because… Read More

Long Drive by Jessica Florence Contemporary Romance, Standalone (but there will be a spin-off) I love a unique read. I’m always looking for books that don’t follow the trends, so when I saw Jessica Florence was writing Long Drive, a book about a long distance truck driver, I wanted it right away! In a world of billionaires, sports stars, rock… Read More
Things My Husband Says by Barbara Blue Standalone comedy of true anecdotes I have been following Barbara Blue on Facebook and always laugh at her posts. When I saw she was putting them all together in a book, I was so excited! Things my Husband Says by Barbara Blue is not fiction. It’s not romance. (Not really). It’s just a… Read More

Raw Deal by Cherrie Lynn Adult Contemporary, first in a standalone series. It’s been a few years since I picked up a Cherrie Lynn book, but I loved her Ross Siblings Series, so I was thrilled she was starting another brother series and couldn’t grab Raw Deal fast enough. Raw Deal begins at Tommy’s funeral. He was an MMA fighter… Read More
