Dark Needs by T.M. Frazier Dark Romance Novella. Does not stand alone. Dark Needs by T.M. Frazier perfectly completed The Dark Light of Day.

Thrown Down by Tessa Bailey Standalone 2 in the Made in Jersey Series. Erotic Adult Contemporary Romance. No. Words. This book reduced me to speaking in one word sentences.

I… Read More
When I’m With You (Hope Town 3) by Harper Sloan Interconnected Standalone. Adult Contemporary. Harper Sloan has a perfect (I hesitate to say formula, but I can’t think of a better word) to her books.

The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley Alpha male fantasy. Interrelated Series. Can stand alone. I finished The Golden Dynasty by Kristen Ashley (Fantasyland 2) like two weeks ago but struggle with this review, because how do you review a book you love so much without gushing so much you slobber everywhere? How do you do it justice? I haven’t stopped thinking… Read More
Pucked Over by Helena Hunting Humorous Contemporary Romance. Third in a series of closely related standalones. Pucked by Helena Hunting was one of my favorite books of 2015.

Book Review – Cupid Has A Heart On by Tara Sivec Funny holiday Novella. Should be read after The Stocking Was Hung.

Plus… Read More
