My thoughts… I really, really liked this one. The synopsis drew me in and I was hooked from page one. If I hadn’t started reading Elite so late in the day I could have easily read it in one sitting. I liked the main characters for the most part. Tracey aka Trace was a bit naive. When she arrives at school she is immediately treated as a charity case. She was accepted into the Elite […]

My thoughts… Escaping Me is the first story by author Elizabeth Lee that I’ve read. I liked it for the most part. At times the dialogue and the actions of the characters seemed to be a little juvenile. The plot was interesting and kept my attention until the very end though. I liked both Whitney and Cole. Whitney was a people pleaser and a bit naive. I really liked the fact that after finding her […]

My thoughts… I love New Adult. And I loved this one. The characters were really interesting and I loved getting to know them. Avery. I liked her. She’s running from a past that isn’t quite explained until the end. I sort of figured out what it is based on the hints that are given throughout the story though. I didn’t however like her parents. They seemed anything but loving. Cam. *swoon* He is awesome and […]

Jasinda Wilder has done it again. I loved this one! I was drawn in by the synopsis and I couldn’t wait to get started. The idea of a virgin being a stripper meeting a Hollywood playboy was intriguing from the get go. I had a hard time putting this one down. It kept my interest from the beginning until the very end. Grey is the virgin stripper. I really liked her. After leading a very sheltered […]

My thoughts… I liked Deeper. It’s a pretty good read for a debut novel. There were a few tiny things I didn’t care for, but for the most part I enjoyed reading this one. The characters were very likable for the most part and I enjoyed getting to know Rain and Knight. Speaking of Knight…what a different and unique name. I like it. Both Rain and Knight have issues. Even though they both have issues […]

You write Romance? That’ s hot… Whenever someone finds out I’ m an author, the first question I always get is, “What kind of books do you write?” I always laugh when I’ m asked this, because I know what’ s coming when I respond with the answer “romance”. If it’ s a woman, she usually gets excited and asks my name so she can write it down for future reference. If it’ s a […]

Excerpt: “You’ re so hot, and sexy. I just… I want to lick you.” I have no idea why, but I laugh. Hard. “You want to lick me?” “Yeah!” Ty nods. “Can I?” “Where?” “Right here,” he answers, motioning around us. “I don’ t care who sees.” I laugh. “No. Where would you lick me at? Like on my body.” Ty smiles. “Anywhere you want.” Hmm… I’ m liking this. “How about everywhere.” Ty looks […]

My thoughts… Promise Me This is a sweet new adult contemporary romance. I really enjoyed this one. The characters are rich with emotions and I loved getting to know them. I really liked Charlie. She’s a bit clumsy. In fact upon meeting Jhett she face plants. Poor girl. She’s always done as her controlling mother has wanted. She goes to a specific school and has never really “lived” life. She’s never experienced what all the […]

My thoughts… I’m so excited to share my thoughts about this book with you. *squee* I loved this one. Hard. For reals. Sam’s a single mom. She became pregnant after having a one-night stand. Said one-night stand didn’t want anything to do with her or the baby. He went as far to say that he didn’t want to be named on the birth certificate. What an asshat. You’ll find out who said asshat is within […]

My thoughts… Catching Liam is a new adult contemporary romance debut novel by Author Sophia Bleu. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this one, but the synopsis caught my attention and I decided to take a chance. I’m really glad I did. Jillian’s got a secret. One only her two best friends know about. Because of this secret she doesn’t date anymore. Instead she chooses to bring a guy home for a night […]

My thoughts… Vicente. *swoon* He’s the oldest Santinis brother. The one who’s not in a relationship. The last man standing until the one and only woman he has ever loved is divorced and back in his life. Julianna. Vicente has loved her since high school and was heartbroken when she married his best friend. She’s a little gun shy when it comes to relationships, which is understandable given what her ex-husband has put her through. […]

My thoughts… Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I loved this book. At first I was a little worried that this book wouldn’t live up to the first book. Sometimes that happens. The more I read though, the more I learned that Falling Into Us is just as amazing as book one. The story is told from both Jason & Becca’s POV. Both are secondary characters in the first book entitled Falling Into You. I loved getting to […]

My thoughts… Falling Into You is a story about first love, loss, learning to heal, and how to love again. I loved, loved, loved this one. It’s highly emotional and I sobbed many times while reading it. You know the snotty blubbering tears. I just couldn’t help it. The story starts off so sweet. You get to experience the sweet innocent love between Nell & Kyle. Together they experience many firsts and I was so […]

My thoughts… April Showers is a debut novel by author Karli Perrin. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this one. The synopsis sounded really good so I couldn’t wait to dive into it. It’s such a cute contemporary romance. I really enjoyed reading it. If I hadn’t started it so late in the evening I would’ve been able to get through it in one sitting. So good. The main characters are rich with […]

My thoughts… Let me tell you…5 Stars are NOT enough for this book. It is ah-freakin-mazing! For reals. When I purchased this one I wasn’t aware that there was going to be more than one book. Sometimes I’m reluctant to buy books like this because I’m such an impatient person. I need for stories to be wrapped up by the end of a book, but I realize in some cases that’s not possible. I loved […]

My thoughts… Ah…. I finished this one in a day. I really enjoyed! Faded is like Jaded in some aspects. It happens over a short amount of time. Things were constantly changing and I kept turning page after page as fast as I could to see what would happen next. There really isn’t any sexual scenes in this book either. It’s all pretty much PG and I keep wondering if Scarlett & Stephan are actually […]

My thoughts… What a way to end a two book mini series. I loved this one as well. Cole has got to be one of my favorite book boyfriends EVER. He’s simply amazing! There are many twists and turns with this story that will keep you guessing on why things are the way they are. However, I recommend that you read the first book to know exactly what’s going on with all the characters. When […]

My thoughts… Wow! What a great book. This is the first one by Author Mercy Amare that I have read and I really enjoyed it. It sucked me in from page one and kept my attention and had me turning page after page to see what would happen next. I actually read this baby in a little under 7 hours! I normally don’t read a book in one day. It usually takes me two and […]

My thoughts… By far Gianni is my favorite Santinis. This is my favorite novella of the series so far. I don’t quite know what it is about Gianni but he get’s my motor running. Maybe it’s whole younger man / older woman aspect. I’m just not sure. I liked the fact that Gee and Kianna’s relationship was developed over a two month period via email while he was deployed. It made for the love element […]

My thoughts… This is novella number two in a four novella series. As with the first one I really enjoyed this one too. I liked Alana’s character from the beginning and felt bad for her because of her family issues. Marco’s a sexy SEAL and has three brothers who are all in the military. The four of them are who this series is based upon. Even though this is a short read I thoroughly enjoyed […]

My thoughts… The Santinis is a new 4 novella series about 4 brothers who are all in different branches of the military. Each of them are single and looking for love. Well, they might not be looking for it, but eventually it’s going to find each and every one of them. Leonardo’s story is first. He’s an Army Medic and doesn’t take crap from anyone. When he meets Maryanne Johnson he’s finally met his match. […]
