Reaper’s Fire by Joanna Wylde Interrelated MC standalone The Reaper’s Series is one of the very few series that I have continued reading.

As I have discussed before, my memory is awful, so… Read More
No Pants Required by Kim Karr Standalone Contemporary romance/romcom I actually read No Pants Required by Kim Karr a few weeks ago. I sucked it up so fast that I forgot to review it!

The Final Chase by Jessica Florence Romantic Comedy, Standalone Book 2, Interconnected Series.

Reaper (Boston Underworld #2) by A. Zavarelli Guest Review by Tara I feel like I must start with a disclaimer, Reaper should be read after Crow which is book 1 in the Boston Underworld series.

Crow (Boston Underworld #1) by A. Zavarelli Guest review by Tara I found Crow by A. Zavarelli completely by accident while looking for something to listen to on audible that wasn’t something that was mainstream and saturating my newsfeed on Facebook, if that makes sense. Well apparently I missed the bandwagon, because I looked on Amazon and this book has had… Read More
Hook & Ladder 69: Eighteen Authors…One sexy firehouse Charity anthology. 18 related short stories. I am not usually an anthology person.

Tapping the Billionaire by Max Monroe 1st Standalone in a new series Who the hell is Max Monroe anyway? I honestly don’t care as long as they keep churning out books like Tapping the Billionaire.

Dirty by Kylie Scott 1st in the new Dive Bar series of related standalones.

A day that I was in a book funk and needed something totally different. To be honest, I was a little scared to read Wildest Dreams. Fantasy is not my genre.

Bare Your Soul by Rochelle Paige Standalone Adult Contemporary/Erotic Novella What a satisfying read!
