Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
I really enjoyed the last book I read by J. Sterling, Chance Encounters (see my review here), but I wasn’t really looking forward to The Perfect Game, because I don’t love books with sports stars. I was eventually going to read it but was in no rush. Then I found out she mentioned ME in it!!!!! Holy crap, that is… Read More
“Sometimes we don’t know what we are missing until we find it.” First things first, props to the gorgeous cover! Second, it’s got a tattooed, motorcycle riding rock star. But this is different. It’s kind of sad but hopeful and completely engrossing. It is a short book, a few hours read at most. Cass lives a completely depressing life in… Read More
Slammed and Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover are two of my favorite books ever. Check out what one fan and fellow book blogger made. The trailer is perfect. If you would like to read my reviews, check out Slammed here, and Point of Retreat here.

While I normally dislike books where there is dishonesty and cheating, Chance Encounters by J. Sterling was different. What do you do when, even though you love your boyfriend so much, and he is the perfect mate for you, but you bump into a handsome stranger and have an instant connection like one you’ve never had before? Can you forget… Read More
Here are the dozen books (or series starters) I recommend for any adult woman to read this summer. There are quite a lot of books to choose from, and picking a top 12 is not easy, but I will pick this list from books I have read over the past year and a half (That is about 150-200 books!) (Actually,… 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
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
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
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 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 read Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire over the summer 2011, right around the time I read Fifty Shades of Grey. Though this book has no strong graphic sex, it had that same intensity that we love in Fifty. It was one of the best books I read this year. I could not put it down. This book consumed me!… Read More
Butterflying Perfect. That’s how I would describe Point of Retreat (Slammed Series) by Colleen Hoover (the second in the Slammed series-read Slammed first). No, these books are not my normal genre, but who cares? When a book (or books in this case) moves you the way these do, nothing matters. Point of Retreat takes place a year after most of… Read More
Holy Moly! Slammed (Slammed Series) by Colleen Hoover was so good!!! I’m afraid my review can never do it justice. Rating 5+ Heat Rating 0. At first I thought, ugh, I’m not really in the mood for another YA, but the reviews were so good, even from all my friends that love smut, so I had to continue. And I’m… Read More
Wow. This book, Sempre (Forever) by JM Darhower grabbed me, pulled me in, and didn’t let me go for 3 days. While I usually prefer an older, slightly smuttier read, this story left me wanting for nothing. I laughed, I cried, my heart broke multiple times, I was on the edge of my seat, then it all began again. It… Read More
