Dating You Hating You by Christina Lauren Narrated by Shayna Thibodeaux and Deacon Lee Standalone Romance/Chick-lit I love an enemies to lovers romance, so I grabbed Dating You Hating You by Christina Lauren just from the title and author(s) alone. And though this wasn’t really enemies to lovers, the title kind of worked. Though to me, I felt like this… Read More
Turbulence by Whitney G. Narrated by Joe Arden and Erin Mallon Standalone Erotic Romance with separate FREE epilogue. If you like super-cocky, dirty-talking alpha-holes, Turbulence by Whitney G. is the perfect book for you.

Easy Nights (Boudreaux Series 6) by Kristen Proby Narrated by Zachary Webber and Rachel Fulginiti Last in the series, can stand alone, but better if read in order.

Bombshell by C.D. Reiss Narrated by Andi Arndt and Christian Fox Contemporary Romance. Stands Alone. (Ana’s Attic is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com) I love a Hollywood star and regular girl trope.

Mister Moneybags by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward Narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt Standalone angsty romantic comedy I really love the writing duo of Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. Mister Moneybags was all that I expected and more. This was an interesting story in that I hate what he did at the start, but I kind of understand… Read More
Twist (Dive Bar 2) by Kylie Scott Narrated by Andi Arndt Contemporary Romance. Stands alone easily. 2nd in an interrelated series. I love Kylie Scott’s writing so I won’t miss a book that she writes.

The Thing About Love by Julie James Standalone Contemporary Romance I read a few of Julie James FBI/US Attorney series about 5 years ago, and remember enjoying them, so when I saw she had a new FBI book this month, The Thing About Love, I grabbed it and I’m glad I did. It doesn’t seem to be related to the series, as… Read More
Catching Carly (Barley Cross Book 2) by Emma Hart Romantic Comedy. Can Easily Stand Alone. Being Brooke was one of my favorite books of 2016, so I couldn’t wait for Catching Carly by Emma Hart. Brooke was so over the top, that Carly seemed like the sane one in the friendship, so I expected more of a serious book with… Read More

Your notions about female Dommes and male subs will be seriously challenged in The Deep End, a new erotic romance from Kristen Ashley featuring a very masculine, very alpha sub. Since Kristen Ashley is… Read More

Things My Husband Says by Barbara Blue Standalone comedy of true anecdotes I have been following Barbara Blue on Facebook and always laugh at her posts. When I saw she was putting them all together in a book, I was so excited! Things my Husband Says by Barbara Blue is not fiction. It’s not romance. (Not really). It’s just a… Read More
Raw Deal by Cherrie Lynn Adult Contemporary, first in a standalone series. It’s been a few years since I picked up a Cherrie Lynn book, but I loved her Ross Siblings Series, so I was thrilled she was starting another brother series and couldn’t grab Raw Deal fast enough. Raw Deal begins at Tommy’s funeral. He was an MMA fighter… Read More
Mr. Bossy by Danika Dare Standalone Erotic Romance Novella Looking for a fast smutty read? Look no further. Let me tell you. Mr. Bossy by Danika Dare is total ladyporn, but it’s ladyporn done well and the author makes no apologies. Warning: This is a filthy, smut-filled, sheet-clawing, over-the-top, love story about finding forever in all the wrong places. This… Read More
Hit The Spot by J. Daniels Narrated by Sebastian York and Kate Russell Contemporary Romance. Interrelated Standalone. After reading (listening to) Four Letter Word by J.

Dashing Through the Snow by M. Leighton Standalone Christmas Novella It seems I read a new “snowed in with a stranger on Christmas” book every year, so I will say that Dashing Through The Snow by M. Leighton wasn’t a very unique story, but still, it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon enjoying the Christmas decorations, and if… Read More
Destiny on Ice by S.R. Grey Stands alone, but this is first in a new series. Hockey Romance. Destiny on Ice by SR Grey was a fun and sexy, fairly low on angst enemies (not really) to lovers story. I didn’t read the blurb going in, so at first I felt a little disappointed that within the first few pages,… Read More
Filthy Rich by Raine Miller Contemporary Romance. Standalone beginning of a series. Raine Miller has been a favorite author of mine since I started this blog. She was at the very first Wicked Book Weekend, which was all of my favorite authors. I think Raine’s experience with writing historical novels makes her contemporaries have a little more class than most… Read More

I have been hearing so much about The Calendar Girl Series by Audrey Carlan, and I have wanted to read it for such a long time.

Pucked Under by Helena Hunting Narrated by Rose Dioro & Jacob Morgan Romantic Comedy. Does Not Stand Alone. I love the Pucked Series by Helena Hunting. Randy and Lily were a hysterical couple, so I was excited to get some more of the silly couple with the “Vagina Emporium”. However, I think I made a mistake by switching from print… Read More
The Huntress by Dawn Robertson and Kristen Hope Mazzola Erotic Thriller/Suspense. Part 1 of 3. Disclaimer from blurb: Dawn and Kristen want to warn you: this is not for the faint of heart! But if gore, violence, and extreme sexual situations are your cup of tea, this is the read for you. Well, honestly that kind of warning would normally… 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
Outsider by Olivia Cunning Erotic Rock Star Romance. Read Double Time first. The Sinners On Tour Series by Olivia Cunning is hands down one of my top all-time series. But the last time I read Double Time for the second time was in 2012. Though Outsider is part of the Exodus End series, it is even more a sequel to… Read More
Ball Peen Hammer by Lauren Rowe Narrated by John Lane and Lauren Rowe Standalone Romantic Erotic Comedy Wow. Ball Peen Hammer by Lauren Rowe was certainly a different book. I had had several recommendations for the audiobook, and since the kindle was already on my TBR, I grabbed the audiobook instead. At first I laughed and cringed at the same time,… Read More
