Beneath These Chains by Meghan March Narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt Contemporary Erotic Romance. Interrelated Standalone. Beneath These Chains by Meghan March is the third book in the Beneath Series of standalones that I have been tearing through and loving. With Meghan March’s writing and Sebastian York (with a slight NOLA accent) and Andi Arndt narrating, it’s a great… Read More
Moonshot by Alessandra Torre, Narrated by Samantha Summers Standalone baseball contemporary romance. I had been hearing so much about Alessandra Torre’s Moonshot that when I saw it on audible I was thrilled. I couldn’t fit it in my reading schedule, but I needed a new audiobook. I’m not normally a sports romance fan but I was really into baseball when… Read More
Compulsive (Liar Duet Book 1) by Lia Fairchild Does not stand alone. Lies hurt.Lies destroy. But some lies protect…and heal. At least that’s what Gray Donovan had hoped for. She’s a compulsive liar using it as a defense mechanism to survive life and her shattered past. When she starts seeing therapist Daniel Harrison, she can no longer deny the truths… Read More
The Dirty Billionaire Trilogy: Dirty Billionaire, Dirty Pleasures and Dirty Together by Meghan March Erotic Romance. Must be read as a trilogy. Normally I stay away from books with Billionaire in the title (been there, done that), and I really shy away from a trilogy. I have too many books I committed to to read three. But after reading the… Read More
Cream of the Crop by Alice Clayton The Hudson Valley Series #2. Romantic Comedy. Can stand alone but I recommend you read Nuts first for the best experience. I have loved Alice Clayton’s book since she released the Redhead Series a few years ago. She knows how to mix a smart, fun, totally relatable heroine with a sexy guy for… Read More
Reaper (Boston Underworld #2) by A. Zavarelli Guest Review by Tara I feel like I must start with a disclaimer, Reaper should be read after Crow which is book 1 in the Boston Underworld series. I know it says that it is a standalone but I feel like you do your sell a disservice if you don’t get the full story… Read More
Crow (Boston Underworld #1) by A. Zavarelli Guest review by Tara I found Crow by A. Zavarelli completely by accident while looking for something to listen to on audible that wasn’t something that was mainstream and saturating my newsfeed on Facebook, if that makes sense. Well apparently I missed the bandwagon, because I looked on Amazon and this book has had… Read More
Hook & Ladder 69: Eighteen Authors…One sexy firehouse Charity anthology. 18 related short stories. I am not usually an anthology person. I need to know how much I have left and when my story will end. I feel the need to read every story in an anthology, and many books like this are usually just filled with teasers. This was… Read More
Fantastical (Fantasyland 3) by Kristen Ashley 3rd in a series of interconnected standalones. Though they are about different couples, they start tying in more later in the series. You should read in order. I am so in love with The Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley. Her books are always an escape, but this series is so much more. I never… Read More
Stuck Up Suit by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward Narrated by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell Standalone Contemporary Romance, vaguely related to Cocky Bastard. I have not read Cocky Bastard, the first in this series of standalone by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, but I saw that Stuck Up Suit was a bestseller for so long, and everyone was loving it… Read More
Tapping the Billionaire by Max Monroe 1st Standalone in a new series Who the hell is Max Monroe anyway? I honestly don’t care as long as they keep churning out books like Tapping the Billionaire. Somehow the mysterious author duo took everything that is cliche in romance books and made it into a unique, sexy, funny, feel-good romance that I… Read More
Mister O by Lauren Blakely Romantic Erotic Comedy. Interrelated Standalone. Big Rock was (and still is) one of my favorite books of 2016. So when I heard there was a related standalone, Mister O, I almost peed with excitement. I don’t think it’s necessary at all to have read Big Rock first, but we do meet the characters there, and… Read More
Drop Dead Sexy by Katie Ashley Romantic Comedy Standalone What a fun read! I have always really loved Katie Ashley’s writing. The perfect combination of sweet and sexy that I read with a smile on my face. Well Drop Dead Sexy is all that plus super funny! And it’s certainly unique. I mean how many times have you read about… Read More
Wildest Dreams (Fantasyland 1) by Kristen Ashley Fantasy/Romance. First in a standalone series. I’ve been saving this series for a rainy day. A day that I was in a book funk and needed something totally different. To be honest, I was a little scared to read Wildest Dreams. Fantasy is not my genre. But it’s Kristen Ashley, and I’ve heard… Read More
Bare Your Soul by Rochelle Paige Standalone Adult Contemporary/Erotic Novella What a satisfying read! I don’t read a lot of novellas, because if I’m totally in love with a story, it will always feel too short, rushed, or missing something. But Bare Your Soul by Rochelle Paige had almost every element I love in a book wrapped up in a… Read More
Appealed by Emma Chase Humorous Adult Contemporary. Third in a series but can very easily stand alone. Wow. Another home run from Emma Chase, the queen of male Point of View. Appealed is the 3rd in a series of related standalones, but each can absolutely stand alone easily. Appealed is the final book in the Legal Briefs Series, about 3… Read More
Carpe Diem by Rae Matthews Standalone. Woman’s Fiction/Romance What a unique read! I really enjoyed Rae Matthews’ side splitting novellas, Sasha and Kelly, so as soon as I knew she had a new full length, I jumped on it! Carpe Diem was totally different. Different than Rae’s previous books, and different from any book I have read. Is it a… Read More
Nuts by Alice Clayton Audiobook Review First in the Hudson Valley series of Standalones. Adult Contemporary Romantic Comedy. Alice Clayton has done it again with NUTS, she brought back all the reasons I love her books –sweet, funny, sexy, relatable and real. Nuts was like the perfect romantic comedy that you can see in the movies, and I honestly enjoyed every… Read More
The Mother Road by Meghan Quinn Romantic Comedy. Standalone. Get your kicks on Route 66! I know I did! If you’ve read my blog at all, you know that romantic comedies are my favorite. I love to smile when I read. But only one other author has made me snort laugh this much and dig through my bathroom cabinet for… Read More
Sebring (Unfinished Heroes 5) by Kristen Ashley Contemporary Romance. Related Standalone. Last in the Series. HOW DOES SHE DO IT??? Seriously, with close to 50 books under her belt, Kristen Ashley has never failed to give me a book I love. Sure, some I love more than others, but they all have the magic. That special something that only a… Read More
The Storm (The Storm 3.5) by Samantha Towle Adult Contemporary Novella. Does Not Stand Alone. The Storm Series by Samantha Towle is one of my hands-down favorite series. Jake and Tru are such an amazing couple and I love the whole band. I found out she had a novella coming out just the day before release and I can’t tell you… Read More
Wrapped In Lace by Prescott Lane Adult Contemporary. Takes place over the Holidays. Standalone. Wrapped in Lace by Prescott Lane is a perfect holiday read, but can be enjoyed all year long. It has all the things I love in a book: It’s sweet, sexy, has a little angst, made me laugh and grin throughout, has side characters I absolutely love,… Read More
Changing Course (Wrecked and Ruined 1) by Aly Martinez Adult Contemporary. Standalone. Aly Martinez sure knows how to deliver the feels in a super unique story. I enjoyed the audio version of Changing Course because it was narrated by both male and female, and I enjoyed both of their voices. Brett and his friend Caleb are hot young cops. One… Read More
Perfectly Imperfect by Harper Sloan Adult Contemporary Standalone Perfectly Imperfect by Harper Sloan is an intensely personal book both for Harper and myself. You see, #IamWillow. Willow was perhaps the most relatable character I have ever had the pleasure of “meeting” in a book. I think everyone can find a little of themselves in this book, but for me it… Read More
