Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
Beg – Tease – Submit (Songs of Submission Sequence 1) by CD Reiss Novella Serial. This box set is novellas 1-3. Erotic Romance. This is the first time I have written a review where I just can’t figure out what I want to say, so please bear with me on this one, because I just don’t get it. The Songs… Read More
Shame on Him (Fool Me Once 3) by Tara Sivec Romantic Suspense with Humor. 3rd in a series of stand alones. If you have been following “Tara’s Angels” from the beginning, you are ready for Lorelei’s story! Although these books stand alone, they are so much better in order. These are like quick palate cleaners between big books. I read… Read More
Nowhere But Here by RenĂ©e Carlino Contemporary Romance Standalone **Reprinted to celebrate the paperback release. Originally appeared here May 5th 2014. Nowhere but Here is a beautiful, traditional contemporary romance. With all the book trends lately (rock stars, fighters and bikers, oh my!) it was nice to just go back to the roots and read a touching, sweet, true romance… Read More
Fat (Labels #1) by Saranna Dewylde Erotic Chick Lit (kind of). Stand Alone. “You’re Pretty. For a fat girl.” Immediately I was able to relate to the heroine in Fat (Labels #1) by Saranna DeWylde. I can’t count how many times I’ve been told what a beautiful face I have (thanks, I know, the rest of me is hideous). Growing… Read More
Life After Taylah by Bella Jewel Adult Contemporary Stand Alone I wan’t to start off this review for Life After Taylah by Bella Jewel with a few disclaimers. I don’t like cheating in books (or in life) but I know there are exceptions to every rule. There are books that I have loved that had it, and there are friends… Read More
The minute I saw the blurb for Taint by SL Jennings, was drooling to read it. What a sexy fantasy! A strong, sexy teacher teaching housewives how to fuck? Hello! Sign me up, if this guy is teaching, I’m in. Right now, you’re probably asking yourself two things: Who am I? And, what the hell are you doing here? Let’s start… Read More
Sinners at the Altar (Sinners on Tour Series) by Olivia Cunning Rock Star Romance. 4 epilogues in one. Can not be read alone. Mmmmmmmm……Sinners. This is the series that started me reading erotic romances, and one of the reasons I started this blog. I absolutely love the combination of romance, humor, fun, sweetness and kinky, dirty (but not too too… Read More
Used (Unlovable 1) by Lynetta Halat New adult love triangle with a western theme. Does not stand alone. I had been hearing some buzz about Used, and since I loved Everything I’ve Never Had by Lynetta Halat, I read this book without even reading the blurb. I didn’t even know it was New Adult when I started it. I am… Read More
Lucky Number Four by Amanda Jason Full length New Adult Romantic Comedy Amanda Jason is a pen name for an author I met at Wicked Book Weekend last year (and will again in March) and just loved. So when she released a book that was my type of book, I jumped at it! I mean, look at the premise, a… Read More
Cherry Girl is a spin-off of The Blackstone Affair Series by Raine Miller. That series, especially the first one, Naked, is one of my favorite series. Cherry Girl features Neil and Elaina, characters that were in the Blackstone Affair Series, but quite honestly, I remembered very little about them beyond their names and that they worked for Ethan Blackstone. Cherry… Read More
I loved Michelle leighton’s Bad Boys Series, so when I heard she had a new book out, I jumped and read it right away. I couldn’t wait to read something new from her, especially a book about an inked up bad boy and an innocent good girl. “Live everyday like it’s your last, none of us are promised tomorrow.” Sloane… Read More
I was looking for some ‘bedtime’ reading, so I asked on my facebook page for my reader’s HOTTEST book recommendations. By far the most popular answer was Nicole Edward’s two series, Club Destiny and Alluring Indulgence. I had done a few promotions for the Alluring Indulgence books when Nicole Edwards was donating proceeds to charity, but never read them. Honestly,… Read More
This is a hard review for me to write, so you may want to take what I say on this one with a grain of salt because I reviewed an ARC. I was in a strange situation when reading This Love’s Not for Sale by Ella Dominguez. I was supposed to be the first stop on the blog tour on… 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
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
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
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
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 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
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
Cracklin’ Rosie by Lissa Matthews  rates a 3.75 and a 4 for Heat. This is a short book, and the second in the series after Sweet Caroline. First of all, I hate the name. I know it is a song (but I didn’t till I read the book), but it turned me off to the book when I have seen… Read More
