No Strings by Mila Hart Erotic Romance Novella, standalone in a series I was excited to read No Strings because of the authors that make up Mila Hart: Stephie Walls and Kristie Leigh (Kristie’s debut).

Arranged by RK Lilley Erotic Romance. Standalone. RK Lilley has been a favorite author of mine since 2012. She has been to every Wicked Book Weekend, and full disclosure: I consider her a friend.

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.

Dirty Rich One Night Stand by Lisa Renee Jones Adult Contemporary, Courtroom, Suspense. Can stand alone. Dirty Rich One Night Stand by Lisa Renee Jones is so much more than the cover, title and even the blurb make it seem.

Taming Mr. Flirt by A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm Standalone contemporary romance, related to another. I absolutely loved Finding Mr. Wrong by A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm, so I couldn’t wait for Kyle and Nessa’s story in Taming Mr. Flirt. The crazy, pranking, slutty best friends are always the best stories. “Are you just going to flirt with me or… Read More
On The Plus Side by Alison Bliss Interrelated Standalone. Contemporary Romance. I really loved Size Matters, the first book in the Size Matters series (see my review), because I found the heroine to be the most relatable heroine ever. I picked up these books because they feature plus-sized heroines, but aren’t labeled as BBW (I don’t want my own genre!)… Read More
Raw Need by Cherrie Lynn Standalone Contemporary Romance. Part of an interrelated Series. I enjoyed Raw Deal by Cherrie Lynn (my review), but it didn’t completely wow me like her Ross Siblings Series did. But I had high hopes for Raw Need.

The Sex Bucket List by Prescott Lane Standalone Contemporary Romance I grabbed The Sex Bucket List by Prescott Lane as soon as I saw that it was a divorced woman in her forties.
