Pike and Pawn (The Pawn Duet) by T.M. Frazier Gritty Contemporary Romance with Anti-Hero Can stand alone as a duet, but MUCH better if you read the whole King Series first. “Logan’s Beach. It’s a town made up of equal parts sand and sadists. Beach and blood. Saltwater and sins. Canals and chaos.” Oh how I love when T.M. Frazier… Read More
My Favorite Books and Audiobooks from 2019 I am going to be mixing books and audiobooks for this list. Only four books I read rated 5 stars (or higher) in 2019, but there were a ton of great audiobooks. In 2019 my reading switched from 50-60% audible to about 80%. In most cases the same review would apply for the… Read More

Nine by T.M. Frazier Standalone spin-off of The King Series.

Our Top Books and Audiobooks of 2018 2018 was a great year for reading! I had 4 5++++ Star Books/Audiobooks, and almost all of the rest of the books on this list were 5 stars unless noted. 3 Authors on this list, Kristen Ashley, Tara Sivec and Colleen Hoover have been on every list since 2012. 2018 was a difficult… Read More
Permission (Perversion Series 3) by TM Frazier 3rd in a Now-Completed Trilogy. “Rage. Revenge. Redemption” As much as I wanted to read Permission by TM Frazier, I almost didn’t want to read it, because that would mean the end of Grim & Trick’s story. I’ve loved this series so much I didn’t want to let go. I was also a… Read More

I read Perversion by TM Frazier last week and was completely blown away. I have loved every single book I have read of hers, but Perversion is my favorite so far.

Perversion (Perversion Trilogy #1) by T.M. Frazier First in a dark, gritty romance trilogy. Total adrenaline rush!

In fact, I think this is the first… Read More
Up In Smoke by T.M. Frazier Gritty Romance. Can Stand Alone. I don’t know how TM Frazier does it to me every time. I don’t really love dark romance, but I don’t really think of TM Frazier’s books as dark, but more gritty. The thing is, there is so much humor woven through that the coarseness and violence never seems… Read More
My Favorite Books & Audiobooks from 2017 Since I have been blogging for 6 years (next month), I have learned to be pretty choosy about the books I read. While I felt like I tried a ton of new authors this year, so many on this list have been on a bunch of previous lists. In fact, 10 authors this… Read More
The Outliers (The Outskirts Duet Part 2) by T.M. Frazier Contemporary Romance, Does Not Stand Alone The Outliers is the conclusion to the phenomenal new duet from T.M.

The Outskirts by T.M. Frazier First in a Duet. Does not stand alone. Contemporary Romance.

Top Books and Audiobooks of 2016 As I go through my books to decide on this list, it’s not that hard in theory. I have very few 5++++ star reads and a few 5 star reads and a few more that were 4.75 stars. I must admit, some of my real favorites for the year were re-reads of favorites via audiobook…. Read More
Happy December! I have been spending so much more time on my sale and new release lists, updating them daily instead of twice a week, that I sadly haven’t been reading as much, and also don’t have as many hours to review. So this month I only had 10 reviews. If you notice, I also have a lot more audiobooks… Read More

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.

The Dark Light of Day by T.M. Frazier Narrated by Christian Fox and Lucy Rivers Standalone prequel to the King Series. Adult Contemporary. As someone who is scared of dark books, I have shied away from The Dark Light of Day by T.M. Frazier. I know everyone loved it, but something about “dark” in the title scared me away. But… Read More
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
