Sinful Intent by Chelle Bliss Contemporary Romantic Suspense. 1st standalone in a series. Spin off of Men of Inked Series. I am reading the Alfa Pi Series by Chelle Bliss out of order, something I never do. I listened to Wicked Impulse (book 3) first, then went back to book one, Sinful Intent. I had to see where we first… Read More
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.

Mack Daddy by Penelope Ward Standalone. Contemporary Romance I didn’t even read the blurb for Mack Daddy by Penelope Ward before jumping in. I saw single dad and just grabbed it. From the title and cover, I assumed it was a romantic comedy. While there were some really funny moments, this was an emotional book that covered a lot of… Read More
Dirty Dealers (Dirty Players #3) by Tia Louise 3rd in a Series. Can Stand Alone. Dirty Dealers by Tia Louise is marketed as a standalone spin-off to the Dirty Players series. While the main story stands alone, I wholeheartedly think you need to read the Dirty Players duet first for full enjoyment of the story. Even though I read the… Read More
Egomaniac by Vi Keeland Narrated by Joe Arden & Andi Arndt Standalone Contemporary Romance Egomaniac is my first book solely written by Vi Keeland, and let me tell you, it won’t be my last.

Long Drive by Jessica Florence Contemporary Romance, Standalone (but there will be a spin-off) I love a unique read.

In a world of billionaires, sports stars, rock… Read More
Taking Turns by J.A. Huss Contemporary Erotic Menage Romance. 1st in a series, doesn’t really stand alone. January is one of the busiest reading months ever.

Wicked Impulse by Chelle Bliss Older couple Contemporary Romance. Standalone, 3rd in a series of related standalones. Since I like to read books in order, I fell so behind on the Men of Inked Series by Chelle Bliss that I never read anything after because I always intended on catching up. But being someone who is about to stare 50 right in… Read More
Jaded Hearts (Loaded Replay #1) by Harper Sloan Standalone start to an interconnected Rock Star Series. Contemporary Romance. Harper Sloan is one of my favorite authors, and the Hope Town Series is one of my favorite series, with all three books being 5 stars (or more!) so as soon as I heard that Cohen’s friend would be starting a new… Read More

Badd Motherf*ucker: Badd Brothers by Jasinda Wilder 1st interrelated standalone in a series. Contemporary romance. What a fun book! It says so much for Jasinda Wilder’s talent that she can pretty much write any kind of book and it’s a great read. She can write books that make you sob your eyes out, books that keep you on the edge… Read More
Inside Out: Behind Closed Doors by Lisa Renee Jones Narrated by Elizabeth Louise Standalone Sexy Romantic Suspense I read some of the Inside Out Series by Lisa Renee Jones, but I am not good with keeping up with series, so I kind of lost track along the way, even though I totally loved the unique stories. So when I heard… Read More

Unsuitable by Samantha Towle Standalone, Romantic Suspense. I love Samantha Towle’s Storm series, but it’s been a while since I read her. When I saw Unsuitable was on pre-order sale for 99¢, I clicked and never even read the blurb. So I went in blind, and read it in 2 sittings, I couldn’t put it down. Luckily the blurb doesn’t spoil a… Read More

Reaper’s Fire by Joanna Wylde Interrelated MC standalone The Reaper’s Series is one of the very few series that I have continued reading. This is really the 8th book if you count novellas and the Silver Bastards spin-off, which is more than I ever stick with since I started blogging. As I have discussed before, my memory is awful, so… Read More
No Pants Required by Kim Karr Standalone Contemporary romance/romcom I actually read No Pants Required by Kim Karr a few weeks ago. I sucked it up so fast that I forgot to review it! It really is like a delicious shake to suck up on a hot summer day. Filled with fun characters, laughter, dirty talking, banter, hot sex, friendship… Read More
My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin Standalone couple, but I think you need to read Forever My Girl first. I am so glad I stuck with The Beaumont Series despite the female narrator. I knew this time to speed it up to 1.25 from the beginning so it helped. I absolutely love books with kids. Single dads, or men who… Read More
