Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
I read Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire over the summer 2011, right around the time I read Fifty Shades of Grey. Though this book has no strong graphic sex, it had that same intensity that we love in Fifty. It was one of the best books I read this year. I could not put it down. This book consumed me!… Read More
Cracklin’ Rosie by Lissa Matthews rates a 3.75 and a 4 for Heat. This is a short book, and the second in the series after Sweet Caroline. First of all, I hate the name. I know it is a song (but I didn’t till I read the book), but it turned me off to the book when I have seen… Read More
I really enjoyed Sweet Caroline: Blue Jeans and Hard Hats by Lissa Matthews. 4 for story, 4.5 for HEAT! It was a REALLY quick read, with LOTS of light BDSM sex. But more than that, there is a love story. (And look at the cover!!! Swooooooooon) Caroline is a 40 year old divorcee who finally got strong and kicked her… Read More
Holy Moly! Slammed (Slammed Series) by Colleen Hoover was so good!!! I’m afraid my review can never do it justice. Rating 5+ Heat Rating 0.

Story 5+++, Heat rating 5. I really loved Bared to You (A Crossfire Novel) by Sylvia Day. I feel bad that everyone compares it to Fifty Shades of Grey, but how can you help it?

Wow. This book, Sempre (Forever) by JM Darhower grabbed me, pulled me in, and didn’t let me go for 3 days. While I usually prefer an older, slightly smuttier read, this story left me wanting for nothing.
