Royally Screwed by Emma Chase Narrated by Andi Arndt and Shane East Contemporary Romance with some comedy. Stands alone. 1st in an interrelated series. What a charming, romantic, fun, sexy fairytale!

Full Package by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Sebastian York Adult Contemporary Sexy RomCom I confess. I have become a Lauren Blakely junky. I have loved every book I have read, but her sexy romantic comedies that are male point of view take the cake. It was hard not to make my Best of 2016 list mostly Lauren Blakely, because I… Read More
Dear Life by Meghan Quinn Standalone Contemporary Romance I had to wait a week before even starting this review of Dear Life by Meghan Quinn. As I choose the quotes for my review, I am already bawling my eyes out. I don’t like to ugly cry, and let me tell you, Dear Life made me ugly cry a few times…. Read More
Retreat by Jay Crownover Standalone first in series. Romance/Adventure. I have so many friends who swear by Jay Crownover, but because all her books are connected and I didn’t want to start at the beginning, I never picked one up (OK, I own a bunch, but never got to read them). So as soon as I saw this surprise release,… Read More
Wicked Impulse by Chelle Bliss Older couple Contemporary Romance. Standalone, 3rd in a series of related standalones. Since I like to read books in order, I fell so behind on the Men of Inked Series by Chelle Bliss that I never read anything after because I always intended on catching up. But being someone who is about to stare 50 right in… Read More
Rock Chick Reawakening (1,001 Dark Nights) by Kristen Ashley Standalone that can be read alone, as a prequel or as an awesome epilogue to the Rock Chick Series. Contemporary Romance.

The Only One by Lauren Blakely Standalone Contemporary Romance Novella. Lauren Blakely bookended 2016 with amazing reads all year long. She started the year phenomenally well with top favorite Big Rock, and ended it with The Only One, and I loved every book in between. She has become a “drop everything to read” author, and her books are pretty much… Read More
From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon Narrated by Cassandra Campbell WWII Forbidden Romance. Standalone. I haven’t read a WWII era book since high school. I am not a lover of sad and ugly cry books. I read to be happy. But I read so many people saying that From Sand and Ash by Amy Harmon was a favorite of… Read More
Mr. Bossy by Danika Dare Standalone Erotic Romance Novella Looking for a fast smutty read? Look no further. Let me tell you. Mr. Bossy by Danika Dare is total ladyporn, but it’s ladyporn done well and the author makes no apologies. Warning: This is a filthy, smut-filled, sheet-clawing, over-the-top, love story about finding forever in all the wrong places. This… Read More
Hit The Spot by J. Daniels Narrated by Sebastian York and Kate Russell Contemporary Romance. Interrelated Standalone. After reading (listening to) Four Letter Word by J. Daniels, I was hooked and couldn’t wait to read Jamie and Tori’s story in Hit The Spot. I love when the guys are funny, over-the-top flirts, have no filter, and pursue the heroine relentlessly…. Read More
Walk of Shame 1-3 by Victoria Ashley Narrated by Alexandra Shawnee and Becket Grey Full Series, Erotic Romance Victoria Ashley was on my 2016 TBR list all year long.

Being Brooke by Emma Hart Romantic Comedy Standalone (another standalone is coming) OMG, how have I never read Emma Hart before? If Being Brooke is any indication of what all of her other books are like, I can kick myself for not reading her sooner. It’s no secret that I love romantic comedies more than any other romance genre, but… Read More
Stealing Christmas by Alexa Riley Standalone Erotic Romance Holiday Novella with bonus novella I always love some quick, dirty and cheesy Christmas novels. And although I wasn’t in love with Alexa Riley’s Christmas story from last year, Snow & Mistletoe (included with Stealing Christmas) I still enjoyed it. I figured they had a year and a ton of books to… Read More
Dashing Through the Snow by M. Leighton Standalone Christmas Novella It seems I read a new “snowed in with a stranger on Christmas” book every year, so I will say that Dashing Through The Snow by M. Leighton wasn’t a very unique story, but still, it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon enjoying the Christmas decorations, and if… Read More
Jaded Hearts (Loaded Replay #1) by Harper Sloan Standalone start to an interconnected Rock Star Series. Contemporary Romance. Harper Sloan is one of my favorite authors, and the Hope Town Series is one of my favorite series, with all three books being 5 stars (or more!) so as soon as I heard that Cohen’s friend would be starting a new… Read More
Out of Bounds by Lauren Blakely Contemporary Romance Standalone Novella Lauren Blakely has become one of my top 5 authors in 2016, which means I will pick up anything she writes, even a football romance. Every single book, especially the more recent ones in first person, have just been the perfect blend of humor, heat and heart, and Out of… Read More
Destiny on Ice by S.R. Grey Stands alone, but this is first in a new series. Hockey Romance. Destiny on Ice by SR Grey was a fun and sexy, fairly low on angst enemies (not really) to lovers story. I didn’t read the blurb going in, so at first I felt a little disappointed that within the first few pages,… Read More
The Prince & The Player and A Player for a Princess (Dirty Players Duet) by Tia Louise Must be read together. I am going to review both The Prince & The Player and A Player for a Princess by Tia Louise together since they make up the Dirty Players Duet, and can not be read without each other. Let me… Read More
Smut by Karina Halle Narrated by Lidia Dornet and Shaun Grindell Standalone Sexy Romantic Comedy Smut is my first Karina Halle book, and now I know why everyone loves her so much. Very sexy, sweet and fun with excellent narration, I loved how Smut gave a bit of an insiders look at self publishing and poked a little fun at… Read More

Robichaux Standalone Contemporary Romance Millionaires, rock stars, motorcycles, stepbrothers, teachers, Doms, tattooists, porn stars, cops, firemen, sports stars… we’ve read them and loved them. But when something different comes along, it’s like a breath of fresh air. I had such a great time reading No Trespassing by KD Robichaux. She is a new author to me,… Read More
Size Matters by Alison Bliss Standalone Romantic Comedy with a Curvy Heroine Before I begin this review, I want to give a little background. I am plus-sized and miserable about it.

Marriage Games by C.D. Reiss Narrated Duet Style by Sebastian York and Elena Wolfe Part one of Two. Erotic Romance.

Stroked Hard by Meghan Quinn Sports RomCom. Standalone in an interrelated series. The Stroked Series by Meghan Quinn has quickly become a favorite for the year. I was a little worried that I wouldn’t love Stroked Hard as much as I loved Stroked Long, because I thought there was nothing serious about it, whereas the last one had some more… Read More
Filthy Rich by Raine Miller Contemporary Romance. Standalone beginning of a series. Raine Miller has been a favorite author of mine since I started this blog. She was at the very first Wicked Book Weekend, which was all of my favorite authors. I think Raine’s experience with writing historical novels makes her contemporaries have a little more class than most… Read More
