Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
Tempt Me by Olivia Cunning is the second in the One Night with Sole Regret series of erotic romance novellas. (See series reading order here). The first in the series was Try Me (see my review here). Ms. Cunning is the queen of kinky sex with rock stars, and this book certainly didn’t let me down. Adam is the lead… Read More
First thing you need to know about Love Unscripted by Tina Reber, besides that I absolutely loved it even more the second time, is that it is L-O-N-G. This is not a bad thing! Not at all. This is a like reading a book trilogy all in one. And I would have been happy and satisfied if it ended after… Read More
Part 6 of Because You Are Mine, Because You Torment Me came out today, and I grabbed it right up*. When we last left Ian and Francesca, they were in Paris, and Ian was feeling more “exposed…weakened by his need for her”, and felt the need to release her from his arms to prove that he could still walk away….

It’s been a while since I read a book by Cherise Sinclair. I gobbled them all up at once and had nothing left 😥 Until My Liege of Dark Haven came out, I had almost forgotten how great Cherise Sinclair writes. This book is part of the Mountain Masters series (See the series reading order). This can definitely stand alone,… Read More
If I Were You is book 1 in the Inside Out Trilogy. It is described and marketed as Fifty Shades meets Basic Instinct. The description is kind of apt, not because of the story line, but more for the feel. It has the breathless feel of a young lady caught in the thrall of a powerful Dom but can’t help… Read More
This installment of Because You Are Mine, Because I Said So, focuses on learning more about both characters. Though still filled with some amazing sex scenes, we are finally seeing Ian and Francesca get to know each other more outside of the bedroom, as well as see them explore why they have this attraction to each other. I received this… Read More
Seven Day Loan (also known as The Gift) was provided by Net Galley in exchange for a fair review. I picked up Seven Day Loan, The Siren and The Angel on NetGalley. They are all part of The Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz (click for reading order). Though this story takes place 10 years before The Siren (see my review here),… Read More
I received an ARC of The Siren (The Original Sinners) from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. Knowing that Tiffany Reisz was a well known BDSM erotic author, I grabbed it. I knew her books were considered dark. I also knew there was a Dominatrix. That was all I knew. I was actually a little frightened to read it…. Read More
Because You Are Mine 4: Because You Must Learn is by far my favorite of the Because You Are Mine series so far. I was reading it and thought “now this is more like it!”, then proceeded to grab my husband with one hand and read with the other. Yes, I’ll admit it. I read during foreplay. When it starts… Read More
The Marriage Bargain (Marriage To A Billionaire) by Jennifer Probst was on so many “Books to Read After Fifty Shades of Grey” lists, that I had to get it and check it out for you guys. It was a nice, sweet, fluffy summer read, but a bit predictable and forgettable. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed the book, but I’m… Read More
I am in love. Yes, I have a total girl crush on Tara Sivec. Move over Christian Grey, I’m switching teams. I am ready to move near Tara and stalk her so I can be her best friend (and maybe lick her face a little. I love her that much). Or maybe it’s the characters she wrote I want to… Read More
… He bent his head towards hers and whispered, “Breathe, Faye.” Breathe, by Kristen Ashley (Colorado Mountain #4), left me breathless, (get it? bad pun, I know) like pretty much every Kristen Ashley book I have read. It’s no secret. I’m a HUGE fan. Her books have ruined me for many others. They are the perfect blend of alpha male,… Read More
Holy moly. Poughkeepsie by Debra Anastasia took me forever to read. Normally that does not bode well for a book, but in this case, that wasn’t the issue. This book just felt very long, despite it’s page count. But it was a beautiful, unique story with so much that happened it felt like 3 books in one. (I was on a… Read More
The second in the Because You Are Mine serial novel by Beth Kery released today, (YAY!!!!) Because I Could Not Resist (Because You Are Mine 2). The first two in the series were given to me as an ARC by the publisher for review. This book is being marketed and compared to Fifty Shades of Grey as well as Bared… Read More
**ARC of Because You Are Mine 1, Because You Tempt Me was provided by the publisher. This serial novel has been called the next Fifty Shades. I can see why. Rich, dominant billionaire tycoon meets young innocent college girl. But this is told in a different way. Each “book” is essentially 2 chapters of an 8 part serial novel to… Read More
I loved Perfection (A Neighbor From Hell 2) by RL Mathewson!!! I read it back in February and at first, I thought it was too similar to the first in the series, Playing for Keeps…until I continued reading. I couldn’t stop. I did have to break it up with 5-6 hours of sleep, but got right back to it. I… Read More
I read Playing For Keeps by RL Mathewson back in February (when it had a different cover), before I started this blog, but I always knew I needed to add this and Perfection, the second in the Neighbor From Hell Series to this blog, because they have stood out as two of my favorites. In Playing for Keeps, Jason was… Read More
Need (Finding Anna, Book 2) by Sherri Hayes was provided to me as an arc from Net Galley. Luckily, I was able to read it directly after Slave left off with a cliffhanger. I wish I can say the same for book 3. I can’t wait! In Need, Stephan realizes that he has fallen in love with Brianna, and she realizes… Read More
I received Sweetest Mistress by Skye Warren after participating in a blog hop in June. I finally began it yesterday, but never even read the description. As a girl who loves an alpha male in my romance, I was a little concerned about Wyle’s internal monologue, though it made me giggle. Wyle is so excited to get a date with this… Read More
The Brie series begins with a free short read and then each subsequent novella is $.99. This is an erotic series, and each story takes about 45 minutes to an hour. They are good enough that you want to download more to find out what happens. The ratings also get better as the series continues. Make no mistake ladies, this… Read More
This review of Slave by Sherri Hayes is courtesy of my first ARC from Net Galley. I saw the title, the description said BDSM romance, so I grabbed it. THEN, I read the reviews and realized it sounded way dark for my tastes. Since I didn’t know the policy on getting a book and not reading it, I decided to… Read More
I read The Unidentified Redhead (Redhead #1) a couple of weeks ago and absolutely LOVED it. It made me so happy when I read it, that I dreaded not having another book by Alice Clayton to look forward to. So I decided to have a little self control and wait till I need a happy-making book to read #2. I knew… Read More
***A few days later, I re-read this review. I sound angry and snarky, not usually my style. But that bodes well for a book. Obviously I was emotionally involved enough to be angry. So if you like the type of book where there is lots of back and forth and love/hate; way more apart than together, this may be the… Read More
I had to review both Sweat Equity (Stewart Realty 2) by Liz Crowe and Closing Costs (Stewart Realty 3) together because Sweat Equity ended with a cliffhanger, and you can’t read #2 without going right to #3. I have to tell you, these two books were the most frustrating books I have ever read, EVER. I will split up the… Read More
