First and Tension (Summersweet Island 4) by Tara Sivec Romantic Comedy. Can stand alone, but I recommend reading the series in order. I can’t believe I never reviewed one of my favorite books! I read it at the beginning of summer, but I still remember it clear as day. First & Tension by Tara Sivec is the 4th in the… Read More
Dashing Through The No (Summersweet Island 3) by Tara Sivec Holiday Romantic Comedy. Can Stand Alone.

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
Otterly Scorched by Tara Sivec Standalone related to two series (see below). Tara Sivec is hands-down my favorite romantic comedy author. Her ridiculous sense of humor taught me to be prepared for Otterly Scorched. Armed with a panty liner, I made sure not to have any food or drink so I wouldn’t choke from laughter (or wet my pants), then… Read More
Christmas Cliché by Tara Sivec Holiday Romantic Comedy Standalone I admit it. When Tara Sivec writes a RomCom she can do no wrong (well basically that’s the case with all of her books). There is not one author that makes me laugh as much as Tara Sivec. Her position as my favorite romantic comedy author has never even threatened to… Read More

Skip down to the Down & Dirty) I didn’t know I loved romantic comedy until I read Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec in 2012 and became a creepy stalker. Since then I have read hundreds of romcoms, but Just My… Read More
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
The Simple Life by Tara Sivec Standalone Romantic Comedy There is a reason Tara Sivec has been one of my top 3 authors for the last 6 years, and she totally reinforced that position with the perfect Autumn escape. The Simple Life was everything I love about Tara’s writing (and more!) in a small-town setting. Brooklyn couldn’t wait to get… Read More
Kiss The Girl by Tara Sivec Romantic Comedy. 3rd in a series of standalones. I can’t get over the creativity of The Naughty Princess Series by Tara Sivec. While you don’t have to, I highly suggest you read the books in order. I loved At The Stroke of Midnight, but I never saw Cinderella, so I didn’t catch all the clever… Read More

Her humor just hits me in exactly the right way, and the friendships she writes… 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
Wish You Were Mine by Tara Sivec Contemporary Romance. Standalone loosely related. Tara Sivec can write every genre, from laugh-out-loud, to thriller, to suspense, to emotional, and with Wish You Were Mine, she brings all the emotions; but they are quick. Despite the prologue, this is not an ugly cry book, you don’t have to work yourself up for it,… Read More
Eye Candy by Tijan, J. Daniels, Helena Hunting, Bella Jewel and Tara Sivec Halloween Anthology featuring characters and stories from favorite books by these authors. I was so excited to read Eye Candy! Helena Hunting and Tara Sivec are two of my favorite authors, and Tara’s Holiday Series needed a Halloween story badly. I loved J. Daniel’s Sweet Series, but… Read More

Below Deck by Tara Sivec Erotic Romance. Standalone. Get ready to get wet! (boat pun). I had no idea Below Deck by Tara Sivec was going to be such a hot little vacation in the Virgin Islands! I knew she was writing a romance on a luxury yacht after watching the reality show Below Deck, but I had no idea… Read More
Fisher’s Light by Tara Sivec Narrated by Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber Contemporary Romance. Stands alone, but there is a companion novella. Some of my favorite audiobooks are re-reads of favorite books. Fisher’s Light was a HUGE 5+++ star favorite in 2015, so when I saw it was out in audio, I decided to grab it and give it a… Read More
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
Jed Had To Die by Tara Sivec Standalone Romantic Comedy/ Mystery.
