My thoughts… I really enjoyed this one. At first I was a little mad though. I did NOT like the hero at all. I found him to be extremely rude. Some of the things he said to the heroine was downright hateful at times. I couldn’t quite figure out why he had such a strong negative reaction to her. I know that later on in the book things are revealed a little bit concerning that, […]

My thoughts… This is the first one by author Kendall Ryan that I’ve read. For the most part I really liked it. There were a few issues I had with it though. I liked Avery. Although I found her to be a bit naive. She was sort of complex. She’s got a big secret and it takes a while to find out just exactly what it is. When all is revealed I sort of think […]

My thoughts… I’ve heard so much about this book. If you’re a romance reader. And obviously you are if you’re visiting my blog. Then you’ve heard about this book. I’ve owned this one for so long. Just never got around to reading it. I’m attending Penned Con 2014 in St. Louis next fall and I thought I’d try to read a least one book by each of the authors that are attending the conference. Samantha […]

My thoughts… One Tiny Lie was a really quick read for me. I was able to read it within one day. It held my attention from the very beginning and didn’t let go. Livie is off to college. Princeton exactly. She’s always dreamed of attending Princeton, her fathers alma mater, and becoming a doctor. I loved her in Ten Tiny Breaths. She’s the younger sister of Kacey Clearly. She’s 18 and a bit naive. She […]

My thoughts… I’m very conflicted about this book. I rarely DNF books. I usually try to stick it out, but I just couldn’t with this one. On the one hand I really liked Eric & Ivy. They were both interesting characters. I thought they would make a good couple. On the other hand there seemed to be vital parts of this story that were missing. I’m not a fan of insta-relationships and/or insta-love. I think […]

My thoughts… What a great contemporary story. I really liked this one. It goes something like this… Kyler and Sydney have been friends since childhood. Both of them are in love with each other, but neither has a clue that the other feels the same way. I loved Sydney from the beginning. Even though she’s deeply in love with Kyler, she keeps her feelings to herself because she knows he’s a player and doesn’t want […]

My thoughts… This is book two in the Breathing Series. I really enjoyed it. It was a really quick read for me and I’m loving this series. This book mainly focuses on the relationship between Emma and her mother Rachel. Emma wants to try and see if they can salvage their torn relationship before she heads off to college after she graduates. Right from the beginning I couldn’t understand why Rachel wanted Emma to call […]

My thoughts… This is the first book by Author Rebecca Donovan that I’ve gotten the privilege to read. I’ve read many reviews and tweets about this series, so I decided to take a chance on it. The synopsis drew me in and I couldn’t wait to get started. The loved the main characters as well as most of the secondary characters. I really liked Emma’s character. She’s a lot stronger than you would think she […]

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… 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… What a great way to end a great series. This is such a great book. The story is told in Will’s POV. It’s a little different in the sense that the book switches back in forth between the past and present. While they’re on their honeymoon, Will is telling Lake his point of view of the things they experienced in the past. I thought this was a unique way of telling this story. […]

My thoughts… Jet is book two in the Marked Men series by Author Jay Crownover. While I enjoyed Jet & Ayden’s story, I don’t think it was quite the story Rule was. There was just something fascinating about Rule that captured my attention from the beginning. This one started out as a slow read for me, but the more I read the more enjoyable it became. Even though Jet & Ayden appear to be completely […]

My thoughts… OMG! I could not put this book down. I was drawn in from page one and it didn’t let me go until the very end. White Trash Beautiful is so emotional. I cried several times. To me it seems that books that make you cry are typically great reads. This one didn’t disappoint. I was able to read this one in one sitting. It was that good. I loved Cass Daniels from the […]

My thoughts… Omigosh this was an amazing read. I love it so! Clearly one of my favorites so far this year. This one is highly emotional. I both laughed and cried while reading it. Pax. He’s sexy and comes with a lot of baggage. He doesn’t deal with his problems. Instead he abuses drugs and alcohol to feel numb. He lost his mother when he was seven years old and instead of dealing with the […]

My thoughts… This is going to be a very short review. OMG! I knew going into this one that it was going to be highly emotional and I wasn’t wrong. By the end of Stealing Harper I was a blubbering mess. Literally. I’m still a bit emotional over it. I’m so glad that Ms McAdams wrote his story. I loved Chase. He struggled from the beginning with wanting Harper for himself and pushing her away […]

My thoughts… Although a short read, this novella is really enjoyable. I loved both Charlie & Evan and thought they were good together. The story sort of jumps right into action from the very beginning. Just one date is all it takes for things to get physical between these two. The sexual scenes are well written and hot. The storyline kept my attention from the beginning till the very end. I really liked this one. […]

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. […]

My thoughts… The premise for this novella was quite good. The story is about Isaac and Stacy getting their relationship back on track after having a baby. They go on dates with each other and have sex. Lot’s and lot’s of sex. And the sex is pretty hot. Stacy and Isaac weren’t in the first book very much so it was nice getting to know them. I really liked that Stacy was a reader, blogger, […]

My thoughts… I loved this book and I loved both Luke and Natalie. The way things started off between these two was interesting although I think Luke went a little overboard in the situation. Natalie is a strong, independent, and beautiful woman. She has a sassy side and I really liked that about her. Luke is famous, handsome and just want to live a normal life out of the limelight. The attraction between these two […]

My thoughts… I’ve heard many things about this book. Some of my fellow readers are going wild for Remington “Riptide” Tate. There’s even a Facebook Group centered around him and the other characters within the book. My first impression of Remy was that he is cocky. I mean really cocky. When Remy and Brooke first meet things are a little bit awkward to me but for the most part was believable. I liked the connection […]
