The Thing About Love by Julie James Standalone Contemporary Romance I read a few of Julie James FBI/US Attorney series about 5 years ago, and remember enjoying them, so when I saw she had a new FBI book this month, The Thing About Love, I grabbed it and I’m glad I did. It doesn’t seem to be related to the series, as… Read More

Sinful Intent by Chelle Bliss Contemporary Romantic Suspense. 1st standalone in a series. Spin off of Men of Inked Series.

Mixed Up by Emma Hart Release Day: April 18 Hiring my brother’s best friend was not on my to-do list. Neither was he.

MISTER MONEYBAGS IS LIVE!!!! A Contemporary Romance Novel I bought the audiobook and will be starting tomorrow.

Under Locke by Mariana Zapata Narrated by Callie Dalton Standalone New Adult Romance Under Locke by Mariana Zapata has been on my radar since it released. But at over 800 pages, this wasn’t a book I could just squeeze in. I do, however, enjoy a longer audiobook. So when I saw this was out in audio (16+ hours!), I grabbed… Read More
Wanted by Dee Palmer Erotic Menage Romance. Can stand alone. One woman married to four men. No m/m action, and they all want her and only her? Perfect for a girl who never felt wanted. Wanted by Dee Palmer may be erotic and dirty, but there was a lot of story, humor and emotion in it’s pages. Finn has been… Read More
My book lists have been taking up more and more time, and I listen to audiobooks while I do them. By the time I get off my computer, my eyes hurt too much to read, so I am finding myself listening to more and more audiobooks nowadays. But my reviews break out the story from the narration, so unless I… Read More

Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren Narrated by Grace Grant Standalone, first in a series I’m going to keep this audiobook review quicker than usual since Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren is an older book, and I listened to it a few weeks ago, so it’s not really fresh in my head. I just have always wanted to read a Christina Lauren… Read More
Co-WRECKER by Meghan Quinn Standalone Contemporary Romantic Comedy This is getting ridiculous. I give out very few 5++++ star reviews, but this is #2 this year, and guess who the first went to? Meghan Quinn. And the books couldn’t have been more different. Co-Wrecker by Meghan Quinn is a pretty light romantic comedy, and let me tell you, I read… Read More

The Sex Bucket List by Prescott Lane Standalone Contemporary Romance I grabbed The Sex Bucket List by Prescott Lane as soon as I saw that it was a divorced woman in her forties.

Pucked Off by Helena Hunting Narrated by Rose Dioro and Jacob Morgan 6th in a series but can TOTALLY stand alone. Wow! Where the heck did this book come from?

Royally Matched by Emma Chase Narrated by Andi Arndt & Shane East Romantic Comedy/Contemporary Romance. Second in a related series. Can stand alone. Emma Chase is an auto buy author for me.

Three Simple Rules by Nikki Sloane Narrated by Muffy Newton 1st in an interrelated series. Can standalone but leaves you hanging for the next couple. Some of my book besties recommended The Blindfold Club Series to me many times. I have added it to my sale lists and it’s always been one of those books that I bought but never got… Read More
Wardrobe Malfunction by Samantha Towle Standalone. Contemporary Romance/Romantic Comedy. I have to admit, I love a Hollywood romance.
