A Lover’s Lament by K.L. Grayson & B.T. Urruela Narrated by Erin Mallon and Max Bellmore Standalone Military Second Chance Romance I don’t read a lot of military romances. But A Lover’s Lament by K.L. Grayson and B.T. Urruela has gotten such great ratings and has been recommended so many times, that when I saw it come out on audiobook,… Read More
Roman Crazy by Alice Clayton and Nina Bocci Standalone Contemporary Romance/Women’s Fiction/Chick-lit. Roman Crazy by Alice Clayton and Nina Bocci was one of my most anticipated reads of the summer/fall. I love everything Alice writes, and I loved the short story I read of Nina’s. Roman Crazy was a very different read. It wasn’t just a second chance romance, it… Read More
Well Hung by Lauren Blakely Related Standalone. Erotic Romantic Comedy from Male POV Lauren Blakey just secured another spot on my top books of 2016 list with Well Hung.

Game On by Sheryl Nantus Erotic Menage Romance. Stands Alone. It had been a while since I read a menage book, and I was looking for a hot read, so when Game On by Sheryl Nantus came out, I grabbed it right up! I especially prefer m-f-m menage, which Game On was, especially because the last books I read with menage,… Read More
Lost In The Affair by E.K. Blair Standalone. Erotic but NOT a romance. May have themes that are disturbing. *Renamed from Author Anonymous* Readers and authors do live in a bit of a fantasy world. We read and immerse ourselves in the perfect lives of sexy, dashing, rich, dominant men who say and do all the right things and fulfill… Read More
Better Off Without Him by Dee Ernst Narrated by Gillian Vance Romantic Comedy/chick lit/Older Heroine. Stands alone, but there is a sequel that is available. If you like older heroines with kids, get ready to laugh! Sometimes a narrator can ruin a book. Sometimes they make it better. In the case of Better off Without Him by Dee Ernst, I… Read More
Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward Narrated by Simone Lewis Standalone Contemporary Romance (Not as taboo as the title suggests) The original that started it all! I am not a fan of the stepbrother trend, and to be honest, the turnoff began NOT from this title, but from the first few that came out and completely copied Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward…. Read More
Wicked Lust (Wicked Horse book 2) by Sawyer Bennett Audiobook Narrated by Kirsten Leigh and Lee Samuels Book 2 in a very connected series. Read in order. Romantic Erotica.

Midnight Soul (Fantasyland 5) by Kristen Ashley Fantasy romance, Series finale. Though they each feature a different couple, the series should be read in order. Because I struggled a bit with the fourth book in the Fantasyland Series, Broken Dove, I decided to re-read the entire series before reading Midnight Soul by Kristen Ashley. So much happened in Broken Dove,… Read More
The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley, Narrated by Tillie Hooper Alpha male fantasy. Interrelated Series. Can stand alone. I wanted to refresh my memory of the Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley before reading the last in the series, Midnight Soul.

Wildest Dreams (Fantasyland #1) by Kristen Ashley, Narrated by Tillie Hooper 1st in a series of Fantasy Standalones I do a lot of Kristen Ashley re-reads via audible. So far every one is just as good via audible as it is reading it. For some reason though, I thought I would have more trouble with the fantasy books via audible…. Read More
Moonshot by Alessandra Torre, Narrated by Samantha Summers Standalone baseball contemporary romance. I had been hearing so much about Alessandra Torre’s Moonshot that when I saw it on audible I was thrilled. I couldn’t fit it in my reading schedule, but I needed a new audiobook. I’m not normally a sports romance fan but I was really into baseball when… Read More
Reaper’s Fire by Joanna Wylde Interrelated MC standalone The Reaper’s Series is one of the very few series that I have continued reading. This is really the 8th book if you count novellas and the Silver Bastards spin-off, which is more than I ever stick with since I started blogging. As I have discussed before, my memory is awful, so… Read More
No Pants Required by Kim Karr Standalone Contemporary romance/romcom I actually read No Pants Required by Kim Karr a few weeks ago. I sucked it up so fast that I forgot to review it!

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover Must-read Standalone *completely spoiler-free and even storyline-free review* ~~~NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE!~~~ I didn’t read the blurb for It Ends With Us. It’s a Colleen Hoover book, so I completely trust her to rip out my heart and put it back together again. I totally believe in her genius. I’m glad I didn’t… Read More
My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin Standalone couple, but I think you need to read Forever My Girl first. I am so glad I stuck with The Beaumont Series despite the female narrator. I knew this time to speed it up to 1.25 from the beginning so it helped. I absolutely love books with kids. Single dads, or men who… Read More
The Final Chase by Jessica Florence Romantic Comedy, Standalone Book 2, Interconnected Series. I very rarely will read books in a series out of order, but I didn’t even realize The Final Chase by Jessica Florence was part of a series of standalones when I started it. It stands alone very well, but it also made me wish I read the… Read More
Dirty Sexy Saint by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde Narrated by Sophie Eastlake Contemporary Romance. Stands Alone. The rest of the Series has related characters.

The Dirty Billionaire Trilogy: Dirty Billionaire, Dirty Pleasures and Dirty Together by Meghan March Erotic Romance. Must be read as a trilogy. Normally I stay away from books with Billionaire in the title (been there, done that), and I really shy away from a trilogy. I have too many books I committed to to read three. But after reading the… Read More
Cream of the Crop by Alice Clayton The Hudson Valley Series #2. Romantic Comedy. Can stand alone but I recommend you read Nuts first for the best experience. I have loved Alice Clayton’s book since she released the Redhead Series a few years ago. She knows how to mix a smart, fun, totally relatable heroine with a sexy guy for… Read More
