Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
It’s the 8th and final night of Hanukkah and a sad night in this world after the tragedy that happened yesterday. Hug your kids, and bring them up right. Get them help if they need it. Most importantly, love them for who they are. Tonight, we finish Hanukkah with an author that has never failed me. With 35 published long… Read More
Books with Hot sex and Great Stories too! There is a difference between hot sexy books. Some books are all about the sex, and that’s OK, especially when you….ahem…. NEED it. But the books that really do it for me are the ones with an AMAZING story PLUS hot sex! Those would be my 4-5 star books/series with an above… Read More
I read so many amazing books over the past 2 months! I had to do a list of my favorites to make sure I haven’t missed any of them for the end of the year list. Narrowing it down to 10 was harder than I thought but I realized I had 10 that rated a 4.5 stars or more…. Read More
Rock Chick Rescue, the second in the Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley (see reading order here) is just what I needed to get me out if a reading slump. Her books never fail. I sat there with a stupid grin on my face the whole way through. I laughed, I sighed, I gasped, I teared up and I had… Read More
I think I have made it clear in the past that Kristen Ashley is my favorite author. She not only writes a great story, she has written 34 of them so far. 34!!!!! And they are all long and full of goodness. (See my post Kristen Ashley Writes Cracktastic Books!). I think the Rock Chick series is her first, because… Read More

Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec (see my review here) 3. On Dublin Street by Samantha Young (see my review here) 4. Futures and Frosting by Tara Sivec (see… Read More
Kristen Ashley can do no wrong. I love the crap out of every freaking book she writes. Creed is no different. I loved the shit out of it! It was badass, sexy, romantic, funny, suspenseful and emotional all-in-one. Creed is the second in the Unfinished Hero Series, the first being Knight. (See my review here) Told in alternating present day… Read More
Oh My Goodness, what a weekend!!!!! Sequels by 3 of my top 5 authors came out this weekend!!!! First, we had Love Unrehearsed, By Tina Reber. I waited for over a year for this book, and I’m so glad I was able to get it early! It was worth every drop of waiting. See my review here. We got to… Read More
I read 50 books from June 1st until August 31st. Here are my Top Picks from those Fifty Books. Notice I snuck in an extra or two if I read the series, but it was SO HARD to choose!!! I started making it 5, then decided to round it to 10, but I really need a dozen. There were so… Read More
There are so many books coming out between now and the end of the year. There are sequels to many of our favorites. Books I have recommended on some of my lists, so many of you have read them. Here is a list of books that are coming out that have excerpts or teaser chapters already published. I will NOT… Read More
… He bent his head towards hers and whispered, “Breathe, Faye.” Breathe, by Kristen Ashley (Colorado Mountain #4), left me breathless, (get it? bad pun, I know) like pretty much every Kristen Ashley book I have read. It’s no secret. I’m a HUGE fan. Her books have ruined me for many others. They are the perfect blend of alpha male,… Read More
If you have read through a lot of this blog, you know my love for Kristen Ashley’s books. Luckily she is a very prolific indie writer. She has a ton of books out, and she keeps cranking out better and better books. Lucky us, she publishes them as soon as they’re done! Here is the basic premise of the books… Read More
The Gamble is another amazing Kristen Ashley book that kept me up for almost two days straight. I began reading Kristen Ashley’s books with the book after this in the Colorado Mountain Series, Sweet Dreams (OMG—TOTALLY AMAZING!), then I read the one after, and moved on to The Burg series without ever reading The Gamble. Honestly, the reviews on goodreads… Read More
In case you guys can’t tell by now, Kristen Ashley is like a GODDESS to me. I love her books so much that I refuse to read them! I know, sounds crazy right? But I never want to get tired of them or run out of them. So I am savoring them. I have not read the entire Rock Chick… Read More
For this “Top Picks” List, I will only choose from books that were released and I read in the first six months of 2012. That includes about 60 of the 82 books I have read so far this year. This is SO HARD to pick 6! Book covers and titles lead to AMAZON. 1-Fifty Shades Freed by EL… Read More
Here are the dozen books (or series starters) I recommend for any adult woman to read this summer. There are quite a lot of books to choose from, and picking a top 12 is not easy, but I will pick this list from books I have read over the past year and a half (That is about 150-200 books!) (Actually,… Read More
The Colorado Mountain Series by Kristen Ashley. Interconnected Standalones. To say that I love Kristen Ashley would be an understatement. Her books all have hot Alpha men, hot sex (but not over the top at all), great heroines, love, suspense, and great epilogues. They are all nice and juicy and long. Her heroines tend to be a bit older and… Read More
Favorite Dom/sub BDSM Romance Books See a more updated list in What to Read After Fifty Shades of Grey I love me some alpha men. I love a man who can take control in the bedroom. I like like to play in the bedroom and get fairly kinky. But I really enjoy reading about the more intense Dom/sub relationships. The… Read More
Kristen Ashley has officially ruined me. No other books leave me feeling like hers do! I am so glad I have been pacing myself through her books. They are an indulgence, and need to be treated as such. If I read them all in a row they might lose that special feeling I get when I read her books. You… Read More
I’m reading Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley right now, and positively swooning over Tack. I pretty much swoon over all of her characters, but in this case, I’m thinking he is NOT someone I could really take in real life. Sure, hot and swoon worthy as a book boyfriend, but in real life??? Uuummm, no. Take Christian from Fifty Shades… Read More
The Dream Man Series Reading Order by Kristen Ashley BEWARE!!!!! Kristen’s books are a little long, and so, so good you don’t want to put them down. My advice? Don’t start them at night if you want to get to sleep. Her books all have a similar feel. Each one of them so far have been “unputdownable”. While there are a… 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
OMG. I abso-freakin-lutely LOVED Games of the Heart by Kristen Ashley!!!! LOVE-LOVE-LOVE!!!! So, I say this about almost every Kristen Ashley book (because I love them all) but this one, I think, may be my favorite. I loved Mike in At Peace, but I really loved him here. He is an amazing, protective dad, an honest cop, and a HOT,… Read More
The Burg Series by Kristen Ashley Kristen Ashley has a way of writing cool, tough, HOT alpha males like nobody else. Almost all of her men are good guys in security, policework or something similar. They are straight shooters who are old fashioned in many ways. They pay, they protect their women, and they always man-up. The heroines are… Read More
