Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
Dr OB: St Lukes Docuseries Book 1 by Max Monroe Narrated by: Stephanie Wyles, Alexander Cendese Contemporary Romance. Stands Alone but related to others. I wish I had the time to read every single Max Monroe book now (I plan on trying!), because honestly, they are my PERFECT reads. Dr. OB by Max Monroe is the first in a new… Read More
Drunk Dial by Penelope Ward Narrated by Andi Arndt Standalone Adult Contemporary Romance What an adorable swoonfest! Drunk Dial by Penelope Ward was sweet, funny, romantic and emotional, and pressed all of my “like” buttons. First off, I loved that Rana Saloomi was ethnic without it being a major focus. I really loved her character, she had a rough time… Read More
Most Valuable Playboy by Lauren Blakely Narrated by Zachary Webber Standalone Contemporary Sports Romance, Male POV Lauren Blakely amazes me. She churns out books so quickly that you would think that they might lose some of the magic, but they never do, EVERY SINGLE ONE has been AMAZING.

Royally Endowed by Emma Chase Narrated by Andi Arndt and Shane East 3rd Standalone in an Interrelated Series. Contemporary Romance Emma Chase never fails to write a book I absolutely love, and Royally Endowed is no exception.

Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland Narrated by Sebastian York & Andi Arndt Standalone Contemporary Romance I have read a couple of Vi Keeland books before, and they strike me as perfectly fun, sexy romcoms. Beautiful Mistake was getting so much buzz, that I grabbed it without reading the blurb. It’s a cute blurb that makes the book seem light and… Read More
My Best Friend’s Ex by Meghan Quinn Standalone Romantic Comedy Meghan Quinn has become one of my favorite authors, and I will read whatever she writes. Co-Wrecker was one of my favorite books of the year, but I didn’t even realize that My Best Friend’s Ex was a spin-off of it until I had read a good chunk of it…. Read More
Real Dirty and Real Sexy by Meghan March Narrated by Sebastian York & Elena Wolfe Must be read together, neither stands alone.

Buns by Alice Clayton Narrated by Elizabeth Louise w/ a cameo by Jason Carpenter 3rd in a series of related standalone. Can easily stand alone. Romantic Comedy. Alice Clayton has been one of my favorite authors since I read The Unidentified Redhead back in 2012. She writes smart and sassy women that I can totally relate to, makes me laugh… Read More
The Story of Us by Tara Sivec Standalone Emotional Second Chance Romance Tara Sivec can write the hell out of every genre she attempts. Though her comedy series are some of my favorite all-time books, two of her emotional dramas are up there too. If you’ve read the amazing Fisher’s Light, you know what Tara can do with a military… Read More
The Farthest Edge by Kristen Ashley Erotic BDSM (female Domme) romance. Interconnected Standalone. The Farthest Edge is the second standalone in the erotic BDSM series, The Honey Series by Kristen Ashley. Though it is a new couple and can stand on it’s own, I think it is a MUCH richer story if you read The Deep End first. The thing… Read More
Royally Matched by Emma Chase Narrated by Andi Arndt & Shane East Romantic Comedy/Contemporary Romance. Second in a related series. Can stand alone. Emma Chase is an auto buy author for me. I have read all of her books and not once have I been disappointed. Her audiobooks are amazing too, and she has a knack for picking great narrators…. 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. Some of my book besties recommended The Blindfold Club Series to me many times. I have added it to my sale lists and it’s always been one of those books that I bought but never got… Read More
Wardrobe Malfunction by Samantha Towle Standalone. Contemporary Romance/Romantic Comedy. I have to admit, I love a Hollywood romance. You know, the kind when the movie star falls for the regular girl. It’s a trope that’s been done a lot, but since Samantha Towle brought me one of my favorite Rock Star Series, I figured she could do the same with… Read More
Below Deck by Tara Sivec Erotic Romance. Standalone. Get ready to get wet! (boat pun). I had no idea Below Deck by Tara Sivec was going to be such a hot little vacation in the Virgin Islands! I knew she was writing a romance on a luxury yacht after watching the reality show Below Deck, but I had no idea… Read More
Real Good Man and Real Good Love (The Real Duet) by Meghan March Narrated by Elena Wolfe and Sebastian York Erotic Romance. Must be read together. Spin off of Dirty Billionaire and Dirty Girl Series but you don’t need to read them first. There is a reason that Meghan March became a new favorite author for me in 2016 and Real… Read More
Retreat by Jay Crownover Standalone first in series. Romance/Adventure. I have so many friends who swear by Jay Crownover, but because all her books are connected and I didn’t want to start at the beginning, I never picked one up (OK, I own a bunch, but never got to read them). So as soon as I saw this surprise release,… Read More
The Only One by Lauren Blakely Standalone Contemporary Romance Novella. Lauren Blakely bookended 2016 with amazing reads all year long. She started the year phenomenally well with top favorite Big Rock, and ended it with The Only One, and I loved every book in between. She has become a “drop everything to read” author, and her books are pretty much… Read More
Walk of Shame 1-3 by Victoria Ashley Narrated by Alexandra Shawnee and Becket Grey Full Series, Erotic Romance Victoria Ashley was on my 2016 TBR list all year long.

Out of Bounds by Lauren Blakely Contemporary Romance Standalone Novella Lauren Blakely has become one of my top 5 authors in 2016, which means I will pick up anything she writes, even a football romance.

The Prince & The Player and A Player for a Princess (Dirty Players Duet) by Tia Louise Must be read together. I am going to review both The Prince & The Player and A Player for a Princess by Tia Louise together since they make up the Dirty Players Duet, and can not be read without each other. Let me… Read More
No Trespassing by K.D. Robichaux Standalone Contemporary Romance Millionaires, rock stars, motorcycles, stepbrothers, teachers, Doms, tattooists, porn stars, cops, firemen, sports stars… we’ve read them and loved them. But when something different comes along, it’s like a breath of fresh air. I had such a great time reading No Trespassing by KD Robichaux. She is a new author to me,… Read More
Size Matters by Alison Bliss Standalone Romantic Comedy with a Curvy Heroine Before I begin this review, I want to give a little background. I am plus-sized and miserable about it.

Marriage Games by C.D. Reiss Narrated Duet Style by Sebastian York and Elena Wolfe Part one of Two. Erotic Romance. Since I have been married for a long, long time, I love reading about married couples. Obviously, when reading romance, stories about already married couples are few and far between, because we want to see them fall in love. But… Read More
Four Letter Word by J. Daniels Narrated by Sebastian York & Kate Russell Contemporary Romance Standalone start to an interrelated series. I had heard so many great things about Four Letter Word by J.
