Stroked Hard by Meghan Quinn Sports RomCom. Standalone in an interrelated series. The Stroked Series by Meghan Quinn has quickly become a favorite for the year.

Dark Needs by T.M. Frazier Dark Romance Novella. Does not stand alone. Dark Needs by T.M. Frazier perfectly completed The Dark Light of Day.

Lost In The Affair by E.K. Blair Standalone. Erotic but NOT a romance. May have themes that are disturbing. *Renamed from Author Anonymous* Readers and authors do live in a bit of a fantasy world. We read and immerse ourselves in the perfect lives of sexy, dashing, rich, dominant men who say and do all the right things and fulfill… Read More
Better Off Without Him by Dee Ernst Narrated by Gillian Vance Romantic Comedy/chick lit/Older Heroine. Stands alone, but there is a sequel that is available.

The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley, Narrated by Tillie Hooper Alpha male fantasy. Interrelated Series. Can stand alone. I wanted to refresh my memory of the Fantasyland Series by Kristen Ashley before reading the last in the series, Midnight Soul. So I grabbed the first two from audible (they are the only ones released right now in audio, the rest… Read More
Wildest Dreams (Fantasyland #1) by Kristen Ashley, Narrated by Tillie Hooper 1st in a series of Fantasy Standalones I do a lot of Kristen Ashley re-reads via audible. So far every one is just as good via audible as it is reading it. For some reason though, I thought I would have more trouble with the fantasy books via audible…. Read More
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover Must-read Standalone *completely spoiler-free and even storyline-free review* I didn’t read the blurb for It Ends With Us. It’s a Colleen Hoover book, so I completely trust her to rip out my heart and put it back together again. I totally believe in her genius. I’m glad I didn’t read the blurb, because reading it now,… Read More
The Firework Exploded (The Holidays 3) by Tara Sivec Romantic Comedy. Does not stand alone. I was mourning the end of my beloved series, The Chocolate Lovers & Chocoholics Series by Tara Sivec.

All The Rage by T.M. Frazier Standalone, related to the King Series, but stands alone well. They call me Rage. My real name is like a shadow, always close behind, but never quite able to catch up. I fly under the radar because no one ever suspects I’m capable of the kind of brutal violence I commit each and every… Read More
Sidebarred by Emma Chase Audiobook Review Novella. Does not stand alone. I thought Sustained by Emma Chase couldn’t get any better. I was wrong. The addition of Sidebarred as an extended epilogue novella to both Sustained and the Legal Briefs series as a whole could not have been more satisfying and enjoyable. With Sebastian York again as the narrator, it… Read More
Lawless and Soulless by T.M. Frazier Narrated by Rob Shapiro and Molly Glenmore Recommended to read after King & Tyrant I loved King & Tyrant on audio. But I knew early on that Lawless did not stand alone, so I waited until I could listen to both Lawless and Soulless in a row. I am SO GLAD I DID! OMG,… Read More
When I’m With You (Hope Town 3) by Harper Sloan Interconnected Standalone. Adult Contemporary. Harper Sloan has a perfect (I hesitate to say formula, but I can’t think of a better word) to her books. They are the exact things that appeal to me the most. Slightly over-the-top alphas, feisty fun females you want to hang with, and no-doubt about… Read More
Bounty (Colorado Mountain Series #7) by Kristen Ashley Can definitely Stand alone, but will be so much better when you know all the side characters. Kristen Ashley…sigh…what is it about her writing that gets me every single time? She creates magic every time. Her characters have full, rich, fleshed out personalities with complete backstories, her relationships are deep and strong; not… Read More
Felony Ever After: 13 Authors, 1 Story Romantic Comedy Standalone. 13 authors, a few already on my favorite list, writing a book together? YES PLEASE. #BestIdeaEver  In my head though, I had some doubts. Some of the authors just didn’t fit! Such different styles! How would this work? The challenge was this: Pass one chapter to the next author with… Read More
Breaking Her (Love is War 2) by R.K. Lilley Erotic, twisty romance. Part two of a duet. HOLY. HELL. What kind of roller coaster did I just get off of!? Oh I know what kind. The RK Lilley kind.

The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley Alpha male fantasy. Interrelated Series. Can stand alone. I finished The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley (Fantasyland 2) like two weeks ago but struggle with this review, because how do you review a book you love so much without gushing so much you slobber everywhere? How do you do it justice? I haven’t stopped thinking… Read More
