Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
Fight or Flight by Samantha Young Standalone Contemporary Romance Fight or Flight by Samantha Young was completely unputdownable, but I still have very mixed feelings about it. I feel like she started writing a light enemies-to-lovers romcom, had the cover designed, but then maybe it took on a life of its own, because the cover, as cute as it is,… Read More
The Wedding From Hell: The Rehearsal Dinner and The Wedding From Hell: The Reception by JR Ward Free short prequels to Consumed The Wedding From Hell books are free prequels to Consumed. There are three, but the third is just a sneak preview of Consumed, so for the purposes of this review, I am just giving a quick review of… Read More
Strong (Stage Dive 4.5) by Kylie Scott Contemporary Romance. Can stand alone. It was so much fun visiting with the boys from Stage Dive again! Especially Mal, my all-time favorite book boyfriend. I totally bought Play in audio after reading Strong because I needed more Mal and it’s been years since I enjoyed his antics. I read Lick by Kylie… Read More
The Left Side of Perfect and The Right Side of Forever by Meghan Quinn Contemporary Romance Duet. Spinoff of The Blue Line Duet. Note: This review can be a spoiler to the Blue Line Duet, but I try to be very careful to not have spoilers for the Perfect Duet. If you don’t want to know anything about the story,… Read More
Someone Else’s Ocean by Kate Stewart Adult Contemporary Standalone *While my reviews are spoiler-free if you don’t want to know more about the book, after the first paragraph skip down to likes and dislikes and the Down & Dirty review* After the amazingness that was Drive and The Real, I was so excited to dive into Someone Else’s Ocean by… Read More
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
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
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
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
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
Behind the Bars (Music Street Book 1) by Brittainy C. Cherry Stands alone. YA/NA romance. I’m so glad that I wait until the first week of January to do my best of 2017 list. I just finished Behind The Bars by Brittainy C. Cherry yesterday and it will absolutely be added to my list! It starts as a YA novel,… Read More
Blood Guard by Megan Erickson Paranormal Romance (Vampires). Standalone start to a series. It’s been so long since I read a good vampire book! I was getting burned out on contemporary romance, and the books were starting to run into each other, so I grabbed Blood Guard by Megan Erickson after some recommendations a few months ago. I have always… Read More
Roomies by Christina Lauren Standalone Contemporary/NA Romance I haven’t read a lot of Christina Lauren books, but I am so glad I chose Roomies! Having a son who is a gifted guitar player, I loved the musical aspect of the story. Set in New York City’s Broadway district, Roomies was a unique and refreshing departure from most of the recent… Read More
Love on the Edge of Time by Julie A. Richman Standalone. Love story, but not a Traditional Romance. Wow. Julie Richman blew me away with this completely unique story that’s like nothing you have ever read before. I was looking for something totally different, and Love On The Edge Of Time totally delivered. It features a rock star and a… Read More
The Other Brother by Meghan Quinn Romantic Comedy. Standalone in an interrelated series. If you have been following my blog for the past year or so, you know that I have become a ridiculously huge Meghan Quinn fan, and I’m so excited for boob squeezes in April at Wicked Book Weekend! Meghan is one of the few authors that I… 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
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. Frazier that begins with The Outskirts. I am not usually a fan of books told in parts, but I must say, the cliffy from the first book really ratcheted up my excitement… Read More
Hooking Up by Helena Hunting Narrated by Jacob Morgan & Muffy Newtown Romantic Comedy, Can stand alone but is related. I have been so excited to read Hooking Up after reading Shacking Up and then the short story in the Eye Candy Anthology. I liked Amie and couldn’t stand her fiancee, so I couldn’t wait for her story! Please note:… Read More
