Moore Than a Feeling by Julie A. Richman Contemporary Romance. Spinoff. Written as a standalone. If you are a fan of the Needing Moore Series by Julie A. Richman, then stop what you are doing right now and RUN, don’t walk to go buy Moore Than a Feeling. This is a spin-off story about Holly (Schooner’s daughter) and Aiden. Though… Read More
Dr. Fellatio by Stella Rom-Com Standalone While I really enjoyed Dr. Fellatio by Stella (Stephie Walls and Leddy Harper), I have to say, I grabbed it for the title and the blurb. But it turned out they totally don’t quite fit the book. While I’m not disappointed, I just expected something totally different. I had also hoped to get some… Read More
One Baby Daddy by Meghan Quinn Romantic Comedy. 3rd in an interrelated series of standalones. Meghan Quinn has spent the last couple of years at the very top of my favorite author list. Every single book (and there is a lot) was pure gold to me. Three Blind Dates, the first in the Dating by the Numbers Series was probably… Read More
Wild Like The Wind (Chaos #6) by Kristen Ashley Standalone in a series. Highly recommended you read the whole series in order. I went into Wild Like The Wind by Kristen Ashley fresh from a Chaos re-read. At this point in a series, I begin to have trouble keeping track of all the characters, and I felt a bit lost… Read More
The Upside of Falling and The Downside of Love by Meghan Quinn Contemporary Romance Duet Meghan Quinn is consistently in my favorite author list for a reason. While her romantic comedies will always be what I think of her for, she slays me with her emotional romances as well, and with Top Gun being one of my favorite all-time movies,… Read More
All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover Standalone. Women’s Fiction/Romance All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover was probably my most anticipated read of 2018. Colleen has been one of my top favorite authors since she first published Slammed (She was at the very first Wicked Book Weekend in February 2013). So I knew to expect amazing writing and a TON of… Read More
Unconscious Hearts (Hearts of Vegas Book 1) by Harper Sloan Contemporary Romance. First Standalone in a Series. Harper Sloan is one of my favorite authors. So I can’t tell you how excited I was for Unconscious Hearts. I also personally love Harper, so I went in expecting and hoping to LOVE Unconscious Hearts. The blurb, the cover, the author…perfect setup… Read More
Two Wedding Crashers by Meghan Quinn Romantic Comedy with Emotion. Can totally stand alone, but 2nd in a series. Three Blind Dates by Meghan Quinn was one of my favorites this year. So before I read Two Wedding Crashers, I enjoyed a re-read via audiobook, and I loved it just as much as the first time. In Three Blind Dates,… Read More
Atticus: A Woman’s Journey with the World’s Worst Behaved Dog by Sawyer Bennett writing as S. Bennett Women’s Fiction (though men will like it too). Standalone. When I read a book I am totally gushing over, I try to wait a little bit to review it to see if the euphoria wears off. But after reading Atticus: A Woman’s Journey… Read More
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang Adult Contemporary. Stands alone. What a refreshing read! It’s so hard to believe The Kiss Quotient is Helen Hoang’s first book because it was smartly written, refreshing, quirky, sweet, sexy, and unputdownable. It was also nothing like what I expected. This is an adult book with some erotic scenes, make no mistake about it,… Read More
In Bed With The Beast (The Naughty Princess Club #2) by Tara Sivec Romantic Comedy. Can stand alone, but better in order. Tara Sivec has been one of my favorite authors since 2012. You’d think she is bound to disappoint eventually right? NOPE. Once again, Tara delivers a sweet, funny as hell, totally clever and unique book that was just… Read More
I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting Contemporary Romance/RomCom. Officially third in a series but totally stands alone. The perfect summer beach read! I Flipping Love You by Helena Hunting isn’t quite what you normally expect from the author. It doesn’t have the over-the-top humor of the Pucked Series, but still has Ms. Hunting’s trademark wit in a bit of… Read More
The Real by Kate Stewart Adult Contemporary Romance. Standalone. Wow. Can I please repeat that a little louder? WOW. I have been sitting on this review for like 10 days because I honestly don’t feel like my words can convey the epicness of this journey. The blend of humor, emotion, angst, romance, and my favorite, message flirting, in The Real… Read More
Something So Right by Natasha Madison Narrated by Joe Hempel and Melissa Moran Contemporary Romance, Standalone First in a Series I absolutely LOVED Tempt the Boss by Natasha Madison. And when Something So Unscripted released, I had a ton of recommendations for it, but I wanted to start at the beginning of the series and grabbed Something So Right, which… Read More
Wait With Me by Amy Daws Romantic Comedy Standalone (for now) I absolutely LOVE that the story behind Wait with Me is the actual premise of the story. What a unique and creative idea! If you missed all of Amy Daws’s tweets while she was writing this, or the press (even Buzzfeed) surrounding the story, let me catch you up…. Read More
The Greatest Risk (The Honey Series 3) by Kristen Ashley Book 3 in the Honey Series. Can Stand Alone. BDSM Erotic Romance Kristen Ashley is no doubt my favorite author. Her descriptive writing style never fails to bring out every emotion in me and The Greatest Risk is no exception to that, as there were more than a few tears… Read More
Making Sense by Lila Rose Standalone, Second in a Related Series. Romantic Comedy. As soon as I saw a book with a chubby older heroine, I grabbed it. I enjoy a book with characters I can truly relate to so I was super excited for Making Sense by Lila Rose. First, heads up: there are some Australian spelling and grammar…. Read More
Rock Chick Reborn by Kristen Ashley Contemporary Romance. Can Stand Alone, but I think you should read the series first. BEST SURPRISE EVER!!!!! Kristen Ashley and I are now both 50, and one of the things I love about her writing is the fact that she writes older women beautifully. Shirleen Jackson is the wise, street-savvy 53 year old black… Read More
At The Stroke of Midnight (Naughty Princess Club #1) by Tara Sivec Romantic Comedy. First in a series. Can stand alone. **Includes audiobook re-read, Narrated by CJ Bloom** There is a reason why Tara Sivec has been one of my favorite authors for 6 years. Her humor just hits me in exactly the right way, and the friendships she writes… 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
Day – Hero Society 2 by Jessica Florence Superhero Romance. Does not stand alone, read Dawn first. I read TWO books in a month. I was in a total rut. Then I started Day by Jessica Florence and read it in one day! It’s completely unique, fun, sexy and exciting all in one. “Two broken halves of a soul, made… Read More
Rough Ride: A Chaos Novella by Kristen Ashley Motorcycle Club Book. Marketed as a Standalone, I think it should be read in series order. Most of you all know I am a Kristen Ashley freak. There is this feeling of coming home every time I read a Kristen Ashley book. It kind of soothes me to read them, they seriously… Read More
Murder Notes by Lisa Renee Jones Suspense/Mystery. Part 1. *Early copy provided by the publisher for the purposes of a fair, unbiased review. I love suspense, and I haven’t read it a lot in the past few years so I was excited when the opportunity to review Murder Notes by Lisa Renee Jones came up. I was in dire need… Read More
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
