Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
The Thing About Love by Kim Karr Standalone Emotional Romantic Comedy The Thing About Love by Kim Karr has everything I love in a romance novel. It was funny, emotional and sexy. I think maybe this book was a case of “It’s not you, it’s me.” Because it took me more than THREE WEEKS to read. A lot of that… Read More
The Christmas Cottage by Samantha Chase Narrated by Stephanie Willis Christmas Romance. Can stand alone. I love a good corny Christmas novel. And I love Christmas movies. And I love reading books and then watching the movie after! So when I saw The Christmas Cottage by Samantha Chase was a Hallmark movie as well, I was so excited! After all,… Read More
Surprise Package by Kira Blakely Standalone Christmas romance. Ends at 32%, Bonus books (not reviewed) I love sexy Christmas books. It’s the one time of year I suspend all belief and love a cheesy instalove. Surprise Package by Kira Blakely has a ton of great reviews on Amazon (but strangely very few on goodreads), so I grabbed it. Usually I… Read More
Plus One by Mae Wood Contemporary romance. Part of an interconnected Series but can stand alone. Great for Foodies. Note: New cover – I committed to read Plus One by Mae Wood back in February. I love a single dad book, especially a mature one, and was assured that this stood alone even though it was third in a series…. Read More
Stealing Christmas by Alexa Riley Standalone Erotic Romance Holiday Novella with bonus novella I always love some quick, dirty and cheesy Christmas novels. And although I wasn’t in love with Alexa Riley’s Christmas story from last year, Snow & Mistletoe (included with Stealing Christmas) I still enjoyed it. I figured they had a year and a ton of books to… Read More
Muffin Top by Tabatha Kiss Erotic Romance, Standalone Novella. Includes bonus novel. I found Muffin Top by Tabatha Kiss when I added it to my 99¢ sale list. The reviews were phenomenal. As of this review, there are 488 reviews with a 4.8/5 average. That is OUTSTANDING. I noticed it was short and included a bonus book, and it had a great… Read More
Manwhore by Katy Evans Contemporary Romance. Does Not Stand Alone. Book 2 comes out this summer. I was so excited to read Manwhore by Katy Evans. I did read Real, and though I liked her writing, I didn’t like her portrayal of manic depression, and felt like she changed it from a werewolf book to manic depression at the last… Read More
Iced by Karen Marie Moning 6th in the Fever Series, does not stand alone. YA/NA (though she will say it is adult UF) I read The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning a few years back, and this sexy, unputdownable series was amazing. I knew Iced was about Dani O’Malley, the 14 year old, but I remembered Ms. Moning promising that… Read More
Lucky Number Four by Amanda Jason Full length New Adult Romantic Comedy Amanda Jason is a pen name for an author I met at Wicked Book Weekend last year (and will again in March) and just loved. So when she released a book that was my type of book, I jumped at it! I mean, look at the premise, a… Read More
I love romantic comedies! So when I saw Zen and Sex (A Romantic Comedy) by Dermot Davis available for review, I grabbed it up. The cover was cute, the blurb I scanned looked good and it was the right length for a good in-between book. Lo and behold, it was another book from a guy’s point of view (I assumed that,… Read More
“Let me kiss you.” Qhuinn groaned as he leaned in. “I know I don’t deserve it, but please . . . it’s what you can do for me. Let me feel you. . . .” Qhuinn’s mouth brushed his own. Came back for more. Lingered. “I’ll beg for it.” More with the caress of those devastating lips. “If that’s what… Read More
I put Saving Dallas by Kim Jones on my Badass Biker list a few months ago after seeing a pretty high rating, and really…look at those abs! But I decided to read it after I found out that the fun party girl who danced the night away at Wicked Book GNO was the very same Kim Jones. If she can… Read More
Bella Andre’s Sullivan Series has been on my radar for a long time. I have a few of her books on my kindle, but I haven’t gotten around to them on my TBR. When I saw The Look of Love (The Sullivan’s 1) on the audible Valentines Day sale list, I grabbed it figuring it would be a great series… Read More
This is one of the hardest reviews I’ve ever written. Why? Because I don’t know how I feel about A Date with Fate (The Adventures of Anabel Axelrod) by Tracy Ellen. On one hand, I absolutely loved the author’s voice and humor. I loved the characters. But on the other hand, the book took me an unprecedented 4 days to… Read More
I grabbed Board Resolution by Joey W Hill because it was recommended for a good fit on this blog, had some great ratings by people I trust, and it was free at the time. I was asked to put op the Knights of the Boardroom Series reading order and when I read the description, holy hell, it sounded too yummy… Read More
Tides Ebb by Alexandra Brenton was sent to me by the author as “like Seduction and Snacks (but even snarkier)” well, since S & S is one of my favorite books, I had to accept her offer to review it, right? Uumm, no. While I giggled once or twice, that was the ONLY similarity. I loved Seduction and Snacks (see… Read More
***A few days later, I re-read this review. I sound angry and snarky, not usually my style. But that bodes well for a book. Obviously I was emotionally involved enough to be angry. So if you like the type of book where there is lots of back and forth and love/hate; way more apart than together, this may be the… Read More
Giving It Up by Amber Lin was sent to me by the author as an ARC in exchange for a fair review. Being fairly new to blogging, I didn’t want to read any reviews before accepting it. I should have because I probably would not have chosen it on my own. Though many of my trusted reading buddies loved it,… Read More
When Bonnie Bliss sent me an ARC of her sexy new book, Bondage on the 4th of July, I was so excited! I love sexy short holiday books. They get me in the mood for the holiday, (and other things) so I moved it up on my TBR list so I can have this review up before the 4th. At… Read More
All of the people who love the same books as me loved The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher. I didn’t. I found myself on facebook, twitter & goodreads more than usual while reading this book. When I really love a book, I forget all social media and get nothing done (unless I go online to squee!). Because I was stopping and… Read More
