Shades of Wicked (Night Rebel #1) by Jeaniene Frost Paranormal Romance, first in a continuing spin-off series of the Night Huntress Series.

Wild Like The Wind (Chaos #6) by Kristen Ashley Standalone in a series. Highly recommended you read the whole series in order.

Part-Time Lover by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Shane East and Grace Grant Standalone Contemporary Romance with RomCom elements. I feel like I start every Lauren Blakely book review the same, wondering how the hell she does it? She releases about a book a month and each one is amazing! I don’t even read the blurbs to Lauren’s books anymore. Because… Read More
Rewrite by Stephanie Rose Narrated by Tristan Wright and Devra Woodward Contemporary Romance Standalone Rewrite is a perfect example of why I blog.

Wait With Me by Amy Daws Romantic Comedy Standalone (for now) I absolutely LOVE that the story behind Wait with Me is the actual premise of the story. What a unique and creative idea!

Up In Smoke by T.M. Frazier Gritty Romance. Can Stand Alone. I don’t know how TM Frazier does it to me every time. I don’t really love dark romance, but I don’t really think of TM Frazier’s books as dark, but more gritty. The thing is, there is so much humor woven through that the coarseness and violence never seems… Read More
Stud Finder by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Jesse Metcalfe and Grace Grant Standalone novella, related to all the books in the Big Rock Series.

Darker: Fifty Shades Darker as Told by Christian by E.L. James Narrated by Zachary Webber Male POV version of Fifty Shades Darker. Does not stand alone.
