Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
Afterburn & Aftershock by Sylvia Day Narrated by Amy McFadden 2 novellas, sexy standalone. I had Afterburn/Aftershock on my Kindle for a few years and never got around to it; but being a Passionflix member, I had to read it before I watched the movie. Still not able to fit it in my schedule, I finally grabbed the audiobook. “You… Read More
Dirty Little Secret and Dirty Little Promise (Forbidden Desires 1 and 2) by Kendall Ryan Narrated by Zachary Webber and Megan Tusing Duet. Neither Stands Alone.

Dirty Rich One Night Stand by Lisa Renee Jones Adult Contemporary, Courtroom, Suspense. Can stand alone. Dirty Rich One Night Stand by Lisa Renee Jones is so much more than the cover, title and even the blurb make it seem. I expected hot, light, maybe even romcom, but I got a twisted, highly detailed story of a defense attorney, a… Read More
Running Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds Narrated by Carly Robins and Alexander Cendese First in a series of interrelated standalones. Romantic Comedy. It’s been a long time since I read an Aurora Rose Reynolds book. When I saw the $1.99 audible upgrade, I jumped on this baby! Running Into Love is lighter and fluffier than the Until Series, but… Read More
Claiming Alexis (Ace Security 2) by Susan Stoker Narrated by Erin Bennett Romantic Suspense, 2nd in a series about different couples. It is better if you read Claiming Grace first.

Ravage Me by Ryan Michele Narrated by Joe Arden and Tatiana Sokolov 1st in a Series of MC books but can stand alone. I’m not a huge Motorcycle Book reader.

Taming Mr. Flirt by A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm Standalone contemporary romance, related to another. I absolutely loved Finding Mr. Wrong by A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm, so I couldn’t wait for Kyle and Nessa’s story in Taming Mr. Flirt. The crazy, pranking, slutty best friends are always the best stories. “Are you just going to flirt with me or… Read More
On The Plus Side by Alison Bliss Interrelated Standalone. Contemporary Romance. I really loved Size Matters, the first book in the Size Matters series (see my review), because I found the heroine to be the most relatable heroine ever. I picked up these books because they feature plus-sized heroines, but aren’t labeled as BBW (I don’t want my own genre!)… Read More
Raw Need by Cherrie Lynn Standalone Contemporary Romance. Part of an interrelated Series. I enjoyed Raw Deal by Cherrie Lynn (my review), but it didn’t completely wow me like her Ross Siblings Series did. But I had high hopes for Raw Need. I mean, a pregnant widow and the rock star whose brother killed her husband? That’s a helluva story… Read More

Lost Rider by Harper Sloan Contemporary Western Romance. Can stand alone. I am a huge fan of Harper Sloan’s writing. I loved her Corps Security Series, and her Hope Town Series were all 5 or more stars for me.

Bound by Flames: A Night Prince Novel by Jeaniene Frost Narrated by Tavia Gilbert Paranormal. Does not stand alone. Jeaniene Frost is hands-down my favorite paranormal author.

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
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
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. From the title, cover, and the original blurb, I totally expected a romantic comedy. And while there are a few funny lines, I would not call this… Read More
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.

Arrogant Bastard by Winter Renshaw New Adult Taboo Romance Narrated by George Wickham Jr. and Angela Moore Standalone start of an Interrelated Series.
