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
January: Calendar Girl Book 1 by Audrey Carlan Narrated by Summer Morton. Contemporary Erotic Romance, 12 Part serial. 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
Stroked by Meghan Quinn Romantic Comedy. First in a Series of Related Standalones. As soon as I finished Stroked by Meghan Quinn, I went right to Stroked Long. I am about 65% done with Stroked Long and I am absolutely in LOVE with it, so I want to clarify this review, because I don’t know if my love for the… Read More
Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward Narrated by Simone Lewis Standalone Contemporary Romance (Not as taboo as the title suggests) The original that started it all! I am not a fan of the stepbrother trend, and to be honest, the turnoff began NOT from this title, but from the first few that came out and completely copied Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward…. Read More
Midnight Soul (Fantasyland 5) by Kristen Ashley Fantasy romance, Series finale. Though they each feature a different couple, the series should be read in order. Because I struggled a bit with the fourth book in the Fantasyland Series, Broken Dove, I decided to re-read the entire series before reading Midnight Soul by Kristen Ashley. So much happened in Broken Dove,… Read More
The Final Chase by Jessica Florence Romantic Comedy, Standalone Book 2, Interconnected Series. I very rarely will read books in a series out of order, but I didn’t even realize The Final Chase by Jessica Florence was part of a series of standalones when I started it. It stands alone very well, but it also made me wish I read the… Read More

Some Sort of Happy (Skylar and Sebastian): A Happy Crazy Love Novel by Melanie Harlow Narrated by Nelson Hobbs and Lucy Malone. Light contemporary romance.

I loved that the characters were real, flawed… Read More
Broken Dove (Fantasyland #4) by Kristen Ashley Interrelated fantasy series featuring a different couple in each book. Broken Dove would not sit alone well. I waited so long to read it because I didn’t think I’d love fantasy, but it turns out that The Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley is one of my top favorite series. Oh who am I kidding?… Read More
Dirty by Kylie Scott 1st in the new Dive Bar series of related standalones. I love Kylie Scott’s Stage Dive series, so when I saw she was writing a loosely connected spin-off series, I almost peed in my pants. Honestly, Mal may be one of my favorite book boyfriends ever, so I was totally hoping for more! Note: You do… Read More
The Rocker Who Savors Me by Terri Anne Browning Interconnected standalone. I went immediately from The Rocker Who Holds Me to The Rocker Who Savors Me, so when the same narrator was a different character, it threw me a bit, but I quickly got over it. I mean I loved Jesse in the first book, so I couldn’t wait for… Read More
Rebel (Renegades #2) by Skye Jordan Interrelated standalone I read Reckless by Skye Jordan (currently FREE with a $1.99 audio upgrade), the first in the Renegades Series, back in 2013. I usually have a pretty crappy memory, but something about Rubi Russo and Wes Lawson really stuck in my head and I have been wanting to get back to this series…. Read More
Forever Pucked by Helena Hunting Romantic Erotic Comedy. Does NOT Stand Alone. Series order below. Pucked by Helena Hunting was one of my Top Favorite Books of 2015.

Interview… Read More
Bindings by Kate Roth Erotic BDSM Romance. Sequel expected this spring. I had Bindings by Kate Roth sitting on my Kindle.
