The Unfinished Hero Series *NEW COVERS!!!* The Unfinished Hero Series has new covers! I love them! Note from Kristen: The Unfinished Hero Series are not my usual steamy romances, they are erotic romances. Not erotica, as such, but the sex in these books, starting with Knight, is quite explicit and explores the intricacies of love and trust in a relationship, including sexually. That said, these are love… Read More

All Over You by Emily Snow is a prequel novella to the hot and sexy rock star book, Devoured (See my review here). I read it after Devoured, but personally, I think I may have enjoyed Devoured more if I read this first. This takes place two years before the first book, and covers Lucas and Sienna’s first meeting. It may take… Read More

I saw Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay was on a number of Favorites for 2012 lists, and I grabbed it to read before the end of the year without even looking at the blurb.

I was asked by Random House to review this book and host J. Kenner on her blog tour because I tend to review erotic contemporary romances, and books to read if you enjoyed Fifty Shades of Grey and The Crossfire Series. Release Me by J. Kenner is definitely for the audience that enjoyed those books, and the many other trilogies… Read More

Deena Bright sent me a copy of Schooled over a month ago, and I finally got around to it on my huge TBR list. (I admit, hearing there was some controversy over her writing this and that her job as a teacher was at risk, forced it up a few spots on my TBR) I must say, it was one… Read More

I really loved this… Read More
