Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
The Virgin Rule Book (Rules of Love Book 1) by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Erin Mallon & Teddy Hamilton Sports Romance. Can Stand Alone.

The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon Narrated by Emily Ellet Romantic Comedy. Stands Alone. I picked up The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon because it sounded a little like The Hating Game, but there was a rare Jewish character. Being Jewish, I often don’t see my kind in books, so I thought it would make for a more… Read More
Still Standing (Wild West MC #1) by Kristen Ashley 1st in a new Contemporary Romance MC series. Stands alone. I haven’t been able to read a book since the beginning of December.

One Time Only by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Jacob Morgan and Teddy Hamilton Standalone male/male Romance. Prequel is available. I am not usually a big m/m reader because A- I like to imagine myself as the heroine, and B- they tend to be a little more sex than story. But Lauren Blakely never fails me. And after LOVING A Guy… Read More
The Grip Series: Flow, Grip and Still by Kennedy Ryan Narrated by Jakobi Diem and Maxine Mitchell Contemporary Romance Trilogy I listened to The Grip Trilogy by Kennedy Ryan back in July.

Wild Fire by Kristen Ashley Part of the Chaos MC Series but can stand alone. I am a Kristen Ashley lover.

Wild Fire by Kristen Ashley definitely had that old-school KA feel and… Read More
Thanks for Last Night (The Guys Who Got Away Book 3) by Lauren Blakely If all I listened to was Lauren Blakely books, I’d be OK with that. She is so prolific that I would say that every 4th or 5th book I listen to is a Lauren Blakely audiobook, and I never get tired of them. Ransom appeared at… Read More

Pike and Pawn (The Pawn Duet) by T.M. Frazier Gritty Contemporary Romance with Anti-Hero Can stand alone as a duet, but MUCH better if you read the whole King Series first. “Logan’s Beach. It’s a town made up of equal parts sand and sadists. Beach and blood. Saltwater and sins. Canals and chaos.” Oh how I love when T.M. Frazier… Read More
