Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
When Bonnie Bliss sent me an ARC of her sexy new book, Bondage on the 4th of July, I was so excited! I love sexy short holiday books. They get me in the mood for the holiday, (and other things) so I moved it up on my TBR list so I can have this review up before the 4th. At… Read More
HOT SEXY ROCK STAR AND HOT SEXY SEX ALERT!!!! Olivia Cunning, author of two of my favorite books Backstage Pass and Rock Hard, brings us the first novella in a new series, about another hot rock band! This review is based on knowing Try Me (One Night with Sole Regret series) was just a novella going in. It is very hard… Read More
I have been looking forward to reading Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost for so long, before I even knew she was going to write it! Vlad was always a favorite character in previous books, and when she put an excerpt in her last book, I was HOOKED!!! And puleeeeeze…..look at that cover! How can you not want some of THAT?????… Read More
Floor Time, the first in the Stewart Realtors series came highly recommended. This erotic romance has a lot going for it, it is sexy, has light BDSM, romance, conflict, and a realistic story line. I also really enjoyed seeing the successful business woman as the sub. She isn’t broken, she has no major past issues (nor does he, though he… Read More
I get various books from authors who would like me to review them, and I buy books or download good deals a lot. I review them all on goodreads (bad or good) but I only add them to this site if they are a 3 star or up rating in most cases. But what to do if they are rated… Read More
Thoughtless and Effortless (and from what I hear, a third book) by SC Stephens comes up on so many “What to read after Fifty Shades of Grey” lists (see mine here), that I thought I would throw in my reviews from last September, when I read them. I remember they consumed me, I loved Kellan, but was angry a lot… Read More
When the author, C.C. Wood, of Friends With Benefits contacted me with an ARC, I wasn’t expecting anything great. I looked her up and found nothing. Well, now I feel like I discovered a star! I can’t believe this was her first book. I even had to add it to goodreads myself! I recommend this story for anyone who likes… Read More
Nobody’s Hero by Kallypso Masters is the third book in the Rescue Me series (BDSM romance), and I think the one I most looked forward to. I fell in love with hero Adam and teenaged Karla in the first book, and I was excited to find out how that would work out for them. This series really needs to be read in… Read More
First off, props to the guy on the cover! Holy hell, what a bod! Very important: to get the best experience with this book, read the first: Masters at Arms. Nobody’s Angel by Kallypso Masters builds on the story started in the first book about Marc and Angelina, but also brings in a new character, Luke. In the last book,… Read More
Masters at Arms by Kallypso Masters is a great start to the Rescue Me series. Beware, that’s what this is……a START. This FREE book is actually a prequel to the next three individual books. The book reads like an anthology until 60% through when the characters get together. All of their stories begin before they are shipped to the Gulf… Read More
Holy Sweet Nuts! I absolutely LOVED The Unidentified Redhead by Alice Clayton!!!! Are you PMS-ing? In a bad mood? Just read a depressing book? Do you need to feel good, laugh, smile, and just plain enjoy a book without angst? This is the book for you. This is definitely in my best books of the year list, and Alice Clayton… Read More
Easy, by Tammara Webber, reminded me of a cross between Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, Flat Out Love by Jessica Park , and Slammed by Colleen Hoover. Considering those are three of my favorite books, that is saying a lot! (If you have not read any of those fabulous books, run, don’t walk to get them). This is in between a… Read More
I found Wicked Ties (Wicked Lovers 1) by Shayla Black on so many lists of top BDSM romance books that for the sake of the blog, I decided to bite the bullet and spend the $12.99 for the e-book, a ridiculous price for the first in a series. At least get your readers hooked before raping them out of their money!… Read More
All of the people who love the same books as me loved The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher. I didn’t. I found myself on facebook, twitter & goodreads more than usual while reading this book. When I really love a book, I forget all social media and get nothing done (unless I go online to squee!). Because I was stopping and… Read More
Scandalous is by a normally YA bestselling author HM Ward under the pen name Ella Steele, but this is an adult novel. It is a 4.5 overall (I could round up or down, in this case I chose up) and a 4 for heat. Had the story been longer it may have pushed to a 5, but it all happened… Read More
Sharing Pleasures by Victoria Dunn was a good, quick, hot little read! It was also, to me, very easy to relate to. Their ages and marriage (mid-upper 40s, happily married) are very similar to mine. I usually read romance, so it was actually nice and different to see a couple that is so happily married already enjoying themselves sexually even… Read More
I read Flat Out Love by Jessica Park last summer. I have probably read 150 books since then, easily. But this book has remained with me as one of the most unique, special books I have ever read. 5++++ stars for story, 1/2 H for heat. Julie is starting college in Boston. When her campus housing falls through, she has… Read More
I have read two short Beth Kery books before this and enjoyed them both, a lot. In fact, Holiday Bound is one of my favorites. The author sent me a copy of this full-length book, Wicked Burn, for review in pdf format. This made it a little harder for me to get into, because I read on Kindle for iPhone,… Read More
Kristen Ashley has officially ruined me. No other books leave me feeling like hers do! I am so glad I have been pacing myself through her books. They are an indulgence, and need to be treated as such. If I read them all in a row they might lose that special feeling I get when I read her books. You… Read More
I really enjoyed Noah, the first in the 5th Street series. I enjoyed Gio as well, but not as much as the first. 3.75 stars for story, 3 for heat. I had a hard time at the beginning of the story. I found myself on twitter, facebook and goodreads more than usual (usually not a good sign for a book),… Read More
Noah, (5th Street #1) by Elizabeth Reyes was a 4.75 for story and a 3.5 for heat (but not until the very end). 28 year old Veronica has spent the last 2 years taking care of her dying mother. In that time she has become depressed, withdrawn and overweight. Finally, her friend Nellie takes her to a local gym where… Read More
I really enjoyed A Lot Like Love by Julie James. 4.25 for story 3.5 for heat. Short description: Jordan is an heiress to a billion dollar fortune and owns a wine store. Her brother, Kyle, is in jail for hacking into Twitter and shutting it down after his girlfriend broke up with him on twitter. Jordan is invited to an annual… Read More
I’m so glad I discovered this Julie James! Something About You (FBI/US Attorney 1) was a 4.25 for story and a 3.5 for Heat. This was a fun, romantic, smart, witty, hot, and had great, intelligent characters. US Attorney, Cameron, is getting her floors refinished and checks into a local hotel. She is awakened by the couple next door doing… Read More
Divorced, Desperate and Delicious by Christie Craig was a fun, light hearted read, even though there was some suspense. Story 3.5, Heat 3. Lacy is a divorced, wacky pet photographer who is desperate for sex, but doesn’t want casual sex because she is afraid to fall in love and get married immediately like her mom has done numerous times. Chase… Read More
