Knocked Out by Jiffy Kate

Knocked Out by Jiffy Kate

4 stars — Am I the only one that loves when the grump is the heroine and the sunshine is the hero?? Willow was actually as badass as everyone told her she was — I really admired her.  She was really down to earth, and while she had a lot of things going on with her, […]

A Little Too Close by Rebecca Yarros

A Little Too Close by Rebecca Yarros

4.5 stars — Well damn, that was devourable. Callie was this interesting mix of brave and cautious.  There were so many moments where I appreciated her willingness to put herself out there and try things before writing them off.  But she had her moments of caution as well, especially when it came to her daughter’s […]

Suddenly You by Sarah Mayberry

Suddenly You by Sarah Mayberry

4 stars — Harry and Pippa were both very likeable characters, but I think I’m still not quite in reading mode and so I got a bit frustrated with them (mostly Pippa) at times…I also might have had a hard time suspending my disbelief on how often Alice conveniently napped. *snort* For all that Harry […]

Where I Belong by J. Daniels

Where I Belong by J. Daniels

2.5 stars — Well huh.  That was pretty underwhelming for me.  Like, it was okay, but I wasn’t compelled.  There were definitely strong points, but there were also a lot of things that didn’t work for me. I both read and listened to this one.  I’ve listened to Mr. Summerer before, and in general I […]

Juniper Hill by Devney Perry

Juniper Hill by Devney Perry

4.5 stars — I think I’m becoming a Devney Perry fan.  This series is my first real foray, but there’s something about the way she writes romance that just works for me.  There’s enough push and pull in a lot of areas of the plot, but it doesn’t drag out the relationship necessarily.  You actually get […]

Checking You Out by Ann Whynot

Checking You Out by Ann Whynot

3 stars — This one started out a bit stronger and I was pretty excited, because I had been looking forward to Norman’s story.  But so many of the issues I had with the writing in the first book by Ms. Whynot were still very much present in this novel as well, and I think I […]

The Suite Spot by Trish Doller

The Suite Spot by Trish Doller

3.5 stars — I both enjoyed myself, and was kind of underwhelmed at the same time.  I think I was expecting the romance aspect to be a bit stronger, and this definitely felt a bit more women’s fiction-y to me…especially given the fade to black-ness of the steamy (or not so steamy) scenes. I think one […]

The Best Men by Sarina Bowen & Lauren Blakely

The Best Men by Sarina Bowen & Lauren Blakely

3.5 stars — This was a fun, light and steamy romance! As always, Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan gave fantastic performances.  I was a little thrown off by Mr. Morgan’s choice to give Mark an accent, but that’s what I do…notice irrelevant stuff. I hate writing reviews like these, because I genuinely enjoyed the book, […]
