Interview… Read More
Porn Star by Laurelin Paige and Sierra Simone Adult Contemporary Standalone. As soon as I saw the title and authors on this book, I thought “I NEEEEEED THIS BOOK!” After reading the blurb, I thought so even more: You know me. Come on, you know you do.

The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley Alpha male fantasy. Interrelated Series. Can stand alone. I finished The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley (Fantasyland 2) like two weeks ago but struggle with this review, because how do you review a book you love so much without gushing so much you slobber everywhere? How do you do it justice? I haven’t stopped thinking… Read More
Trailer Park Virgin by Alexa Riley Short and totally smutty-no real story. Holy hell Trailer Park Virgin by Alexa Riley was one DIRTY book!

Bindings by Kate Roth Erotic BDSM Romance. Sequel expected this spring. I had Bindings by Kate Roth sitting on my Kindle.

That Man Trilogy by Nelle L’Amour Adult Contemporary full series That Man series by Nelle L’Amour was a sexy and fun read, and my favorite part about it is some of it took place in our book world, often mentioning my favorite books or authors.

Playing With Her Heart Adult Contemporary. Interrelated Standalone. Playing With Her Heart by Lauren Blakely is a really hard book for me to review. On one hand, I really enjoy Lauren Blakey’s hot dirty talkers and unique and sweet romances. But the narrators in this audiobook, especially the male narrator, completely ruined the book for me. Usually I can power through… Read More
Wildest Dreams (Fantasyland 1) by Kristen Ashley Fantasy/Romance. First in a standalone series. I’ve been saving this series for a rainy day. A day that I was in a book funk and needed something totally different. To be honest, I was a little scared to read Wildest Dreams. Fantasy is not my genre. 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.

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.

Forbidden and Untouchable by Danielle Jamie (The Stepbrother Series) New Adult Novellas that do not stand alone. Forbidden by Danielle Jamie is my first stepbrother book.
