Sebring (Unfinished Heroes 5) by Kristen Ashley Contemporary Romance. Related Standalone. Last in the Series. HOW DOES SHE DO IT??? Seriously, with close to 50 books under her belt, Kristen Ashley has never failed to give me a book I love. Sure, some I love more than others, but they all have the magic. That special something that only a… Read More
The Gamers Series by Megan Erickson Erotic Romance. Each can stand alone. Book 1 – Changing His Game by Megan Erickson I absolutely do not understand how Megan Erickson has coasted under my book lovin’ radar for this long. Her books are right up my alley. I was recommended this series by a book buddy who told me I would fall… Read More
SUIT – SLUT – SOLID by Jettie Woodruff Adult Dark Erotic Romance. These do not stand alone. I’m not usually a lover of dark and twisted, but sometimes I need to change things up.

The Storm (The Storm 3.5) by Samantha Towle Adult Contemporary Novella. Does Not Stand Alone. The Storm Series by Samantha Towle is one of my hands-down favorite series.

Forbid Me (Good Ol’ Boys 2) by M. Robinson Adult Contemporary, Interconnected Standalone Angsty, Sexy, Fun, Forbidden, Alpha, Yummy. Forbid Me by M. Robinson was all of those things.

Perfectly Imperfect by Harper Sloan Adult Contemporary Standalone Perfectly Imperfect by Harper Sloan is an intensely personal book both for Harper and myself. You see, #IamWillow. Willow was perhaps the most relatable character I have ever had the pleasure of “meeting” in a book. I think everyone can find a little of themselves in this book, but for me it… Read More
Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre Standalone Contemporary Romance Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre has one of my favorite themes. A hot movie star with an ordinary girl. Sounds formulaic, right? Nope, it was anything but. I read this book right before and after surgery so it has been a while, yet it stuck in my head pretty well. Cole Masten, Hollywood… Read More
Reapers & Bastards: An Anthology by Joanna Wylde 4 stories in the Reapers world. Can stand alone. Erotic MC Joanna Wylde’s MC Series, Reapers, and the spin-off Silver Bastards, is one of my favorite series. Reapers and Bastards is a collection of short stories (one is a bit longer) and some cute recipes and tips. This can be read whether… Read More
Walk Through Fire (Chaos 4) by Kristen Ashley Contemporary Biker Romance. Can stand alone, but better read in order. I’m starting to feel like a broken record, but Kristen Ashley has done it again! Walk Through Fire is a nice and long, sweet, sexy, super emotional and totally engrossing second chance romance. This is High and Millie’s story. Given my… Read More

Did I say HOT???? Woolf is a rich, hot Wyoming rancher who had to take over his father’s oil and cattle business when he died. Though he… Read More
Madame X by Jasinda Wilder Contemporary, Erotic Romance/Suspense. First in a trilogy. WOW. I can’t remember the last time I checked out of life to read a book from start to finish. Despite my post-brain-surgery headache, I just could not put Madame X by Jasinda Wilder down. In fact, I was so enthralled, so engrossed, I didn’t take notes, or… Read More
Tied Together by Z.B. Heller M/M Romantic Comedy Standalone To start off the review, I must qualify this with the fact that I am not normally an m/m fan. Nor have I read the Moxie books by ZB Heller beyond a short story. But the promos were so cute, and I just love Zolie, so I wanted to get out… Read More
Forget by N.A. Alcorn 1st in a series, does not stand alone. Contemporary Romance. Dear Brooke Sawyer, We need to be best friends. I mean, I know you already have an amazing bestie in Lindsay, but can I horn in on that goodness? Maybe a bestie threesome? I can’t even begin to explain the levels we would connect on. Let’s… Read More
Priest by Sierra Simone Erotic Taboo standalone Priest by Sierra Simone is as taboo as I have read. It also had some amazing sexual tension. Priest is hot and so very dirty. I’m going to give a warning here: If you are a religious person, especially a Catholic, I don’t recommend this book. Since I am neither, none of that… Read More
Take Me To Paradise (Sinners#7) by Olivia Cunning Adult Contemporary Novella. Doesn’t really stand alone. Take Me to Paradise by Olivia Cunning is actually like a second epilogue to Backstage Pass, which is still one of my favorite all-time books. Brian may always be my top book boyfriend. I was feeling the need for some Sinners while I was waiting… Read More

It has mystery, action, a likable heroine and a hot, dirty talking Navy SEAL. What more do you need? I read this book so quickly, I feel badly that I am only just writing up my review… Read More
Asking For It by Lilah Pace Adult Contemporary, Dark. Asking for It by Lilah Pace came with some really strong warnings, and though I don’t usually enjoy very dark books, the blurb and warnings appealed to me. There are definitely some triggers you need to know about right up front. This is about non-consensual sex/rape fantasies, but there are also… Read More
Vicious Cycle by Katie Ashley 1st in a new MC series, can stand alone I enjoy MC books, but I try not to read too many, because I have noticed that even my favorites tend to run together a bit in my mind. But I really enjoy Katie’s smile inducing stories, so I was eager to see what the southern… Read More
Shuttergirl by CD Reiss Adult Contemporary Romance. Standalone. I have only read a little of CD Reiss in the past, so I honestly didn’t know what to expect at all with Shuttergirl. This is her first contemporary romance (not erotic), so it’s a little different than the dominant Jonathan Drazen. In fact, the hero wasn’t really dominant at all, but… Read More
Worth The Trip by Tara Sivec Does not stand alone. Read Fisher’s Light first. If you haven’t read Fisher’s Light by Tara Sivec. STOP RIGHT THERE. It is a MUST READ for this year! Worth the Trip is a spin-off of Fisher’s Light, and though it is it’s own story, you need the back story of Fisher’s light to understand what is… Read More
Chase Me and Need Me by Tessa Bailey (Broke and Beautiful 1 and 2) Contemporary/NA Romance with humor. Each can stand alone. Chase Me by Tessa Bailey (Broke and Beautiful series) Chase Me was different from classic Tessa Bailey novels…but no less fabulous. I think it officially falls into the NA category of romance; therefore, the steam level is a… Read More
Overruled by Emma Chase Contemporary Romance. First in a series (Legal Briefs) of standalones. As soon as I saw another Emma Chase book, I jumped on it! But Emma Chase AND a lawyer book? BINGO! Sounds like a dream come true! Overall, I really enjoyed this hot read. Stanton was no Drew Evans, but I still loved Emma’s take on… Read More
