Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey Contemporary Romance, 1st in a series of standalones. “Dammit, Georgie. You had to be exactly what I need, didn’t you?” As much as I enjoy the illustrated cover trend, I am finding that a lot of them don’t quite match the story inside. I expected Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey to be light,… Read More
Screwdrivered by Alice Clayton Narrated by Heather Smith Romantic Comedy. Standalone in a series. Alice Clayton has always been a favorite of mine since I began this blog, and I have had Screwdrivered on my Kindle and on my bookshelf waiting for a rainy day. 5 years later the rainy day came in the form of the audiobook.

No Strings by Mila Hart Erotic Romance Novella, standalone in a series I was excited to read No Strings because of the authors that make up Mila Hart: Stephie Walls and Kristie Leigh (Kristie’s debut).

The Secret To Dating Your Best Friend’s Sister by Meghan Quinn Standalone Romantic Comedy Meghan Quinn is a top five author for me. No matter what the genre, I love her writing, but her romantic comedies usually have a special magic about them, and I have very high expectations going into a Meghan Quinn book. The Secret to Dating Your… Read More

It had been over a year since I read the first in the… Read More

Hot For His Girl by Rachel Blaufeld Standalone Contemporary Romance I was immediately drawn to Hot for His Girl by Rachel Blaufeld because it’s about bloggers.

Fight or Flight by Samantha Young Standalone Contemporary Romance Fight or Flight by Samantha Young was completely unputdownable, but I still have very mixed feelings about it. I feel like she started writing a light enemies-to-lovers romcom, had the cover designed, but then maybe it took on a life of its own, because the cover, as cute as it is,… Read More

Dr. Fellatio by Stella Rom-Com Standalone While I really enjoyed Dr. Fellatio by Stella (Stephie Walls and Leddy Harper), I have to say, I grabbed it for the title and the blurb.

After Care by LB Dunbar Narrated by Coleen Marlo First in a Connected Standalone Romance Series for Women Over 40. I absolutely LOVE a book where the couple is over 40!
