Bombshells by Sarina Bowen

Bombshells by Sarina Bowen

4.5 stars — Wow, I did not expect to love Baby Bayer as much as I did.  I mean, I always know Ms. Bowen is going to give me great characters, but I really fell for Anton.  And it didn’t hurt that he had the perfect paramour in Sylvie! Sylvie was straightforward and down to […]

Barbarian’s Heart by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Heart by Ruby Dixon

4.5 stars — This one lived up to its title — there was a lot of heart in it. I seriously ACHED for both Stacey and Pashov.  How strange and trying would it be from both their perspectives?  I honestly can’t imagine, but I could connect with *both* sides.  I will admit, I lost patience […]

Barbarian’s Touch by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Touch by Ruby Dixon

4.5 stars — Well damn, this was just perfect for me. Lila is my kind of heroine — starts out timid and awkward, ends up embracing the challenges and adapting.  I loved the way she came into her own when forced out of the protection of her sister.  She learned what she was made of, […]

21 Wall Street Series by Lauren Layne

21 Wall Street Series by Lauren Layne

4 stars — I was worried about this one!  In the first chapter, I was NOT getting a good feeling for Ian.  Like, he seemed like a self-involved douchecanoe.  I was contemplating DNFing…but I persisted, b/c it’s Lauren Layne.  And while she’s not a guaranteed win for me, she gives me enough success to push […]

Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas

Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas

4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heap of delightfulness, and while it gave me anxiety at times, it also gave me so much happiness and smiles and swoons and giggles too.  It actually lived up to my expectations, and that is always a pleasant surprise! As always, I adored Mary Jane Wells as […]

Under Pressure by Allie Winters

Under Pressure by Allie Winters

4.5 stars — I was worried about how I would enjoy this one, especially with the way Tyler started out, but it hit a bunch of notes I wasn’t expecting and I ended up really feeling for both Tyler and Mia! Mia was pretty easy to connect with — I really appreciated the way the […]

Heart Smart by Emma Lee Jayne

Heart Smart by Emma Lee Jayne

4.5 stars — Wow.  This one just grabbed me, sucked me in and wouldn’t let me go…I kind of love that feeling. I wasn’t sure how I was going to cope with a grumpy/jerk hero, b/c that’s not something I gravitate towards AT ALL.  But there was SO MUCH going on underneath Max, he was […]

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

4.5 stars — I think I’ve found a new favourite author.  There’s just something about the quirky characters that Ms. Hibbert creates, and the kind of romance that just gets to my heart…mixed in with amazing depth, and it just works for me. I will say, no matter how delightful I find Ione Butler’s voice […]
