Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
When the author, C.C. Wood, of Friends With Benefits contacted me with an ARC, I wasn’t expecting anything great. I looked her up and found nothing. Well, now I feel like I discovered a star! I can’t believe this was her first book. I even had to add it to goodreads myself! I recommend this story for anyone who likes… Read More
Easy, by Tammara Webber, reminded me of a cross between Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, Flat Out Love by Jessica Park , and Slammed by Colleen Hoover. Considering those are three of my favorite books, that is saying a lot! (If you have not read any of those fabulous books, run, don’t walk to get them). This is in between a… Read More
Scandalous is by a normally YA bestselling author HM Ward under the pen name Ella Steele, but this is an adult novel. It is a 4.5 overall (I could round up or down, in this case I chose up) and a 4 for heat. Had the story been longer it may have pushed to a 5, but it all happened… Read More
I have read two short Beth Kery books before this and enjoyed them both, a lot. In fact, Holiday Bound is one of my favorites. The author sent me a copy of this full-length book, Wicked Burn, for review in pdf format. This made it a little harder for me to get into, because I read on Kindle for iPhone,… Read More
Noah, (5th Street #1) by Elizabeth Reyes was a 4.75 for story and a 3.5 for heat (but not until the very end). 28 year old Veronica has spent the last 2 years taking care of her dying mother. In that time she has become depressed, withdrawn and overweight. Finally, her friend Nellie takes her to a local gym where… Read More

I’m so glad I discovered this Julie James! Something About You (FBI/US Attorney 1) was a 4.25 for story and a 3.5 for Heat. This was a fun, romantic, smart, witty, hot, and had great, intelligent characters. US Attorney, Cameron, is getting her floors refinished and checks into a local hotel. She is awakened by the couple next door doing… Read More
A Table for Three: New York, book 1, by Lainey Reese was one sexy fantasy read! Not one but two gorgeous, rich, sexy, insatiable straight Doms for one woman? How can that not be good? Riley is brand new to New York with 2 weeks before her job begins. Her first night there she gets in a cab and asks… Read More
Law Man is the third in the Dream Man series (see order here) by Kristen Ashley. 4.5 for story, 3.5 for heat. Let me start off by saying I LOVE Kristen Ashley, and I love this series. That being said, this wasn’t in my favorites of her books, even though I LOVE Mitch. The book started pretty rough for me, but… Read More
Wow! Gateway to Heaven by Beth Kery was a freebie! Christian is a hot rock star, Megan is an art teacher in his hometown church. Megan grew up extremely sheltered, and everybody treats her like she is fragile, except Christian, who treats her like a woman. Megan’s sister and mother (ugh, couldn’t stand them) do everything in their power to… Read More
Committed: An erotic Valentine’s Tale by Lissa Matthews. Matt and Grace are in an open relationship for 4 years. Matt decides he wants more and flies Grace out to meet him on a business trip for Valentines Day. This was a super quick read (like 15 pages) that included sex in a public restroom and hot hotel sex with a voyeur,… Read More
Liberating Lacey by Anne Calhoun is 4.25 stars for story. 4.5 for heat. I really enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting. I can’t put my finger on why it wasn’t a 5 star read for me, especially after reading so many great reviews. It may be because I just came off reading a book that was so… Read More
Rock Hard by Olivia Cunning is the second in the Sinners on Tour series. The first was Backstage Pass (read in order, that review is here!!!). I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Sinners!!! They are all a bunch of yummy rock stars with heart. I have to say, I didn’t love this book as much as the first. Backstage Pass was… Read More
I really enjoyed Sweet Caroline: Blue Jeans and Hard Hats by Lissa Matthews. 4 for story, 4.5 for HEAT! It was a REALLY quick read, with LOTS of light BDSM sex. But more than that, there is a love story. (And look at the cover!!! Swooooooooon) Caroline is a 40 year old divorcee who finally got strong and kicked her… Read More
