Power Play by Maria Luis

Power Play by Maria Luis

3.5 stars — Well….  I enjoyed myself, but not as much as I was expecting to. First, the presence of dual narrators confused me as the book went on with only Charlie’s POV.  So just FYI, we only get Duke’s POV in the epilogue.  Despite that, I really enjoyed Ms. Hart’s narration in this one.  […]

Fire on the Ice by Tamsen Parker

Fire on the Ice by Tamsen Parker

3.5 stars — I will admit I was a bit concerned when our MCs jumped right into bed, and what followed were a lot of very descriptive and hot sex scenes, with only sprinklings of emotions (mostly leftover from their previous encounter).  I guess I was expecting a steamy romance, and really got more an […]
