“Intercepted” is a jolly good debut from Alexa Martin. It was fun, sexy, uplifting, and well-rounded; portraying Marlee, a biracial young woman in a long-term relationship with her high-school sweetheart who got drafted by NFL team Denver M...
3½ StarsThe blurb not only gave me a broad outline of the book but it also build my expectations about it. The one who got away / second chance romance is among the tropes that I love. If nothing, it’s the implied state that the characters have met...
3 Stars“A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are” - Richard Bach That was roughly what...
4½ Stars“Then There Was You” is a fun, sweet, and heartwarming small town romance that mashes second chance romance, enemies to lovers, and opposites attract tropes together. Throw in the man-in-uniform aspect in the form of Chief Police Colton Wal...
3¼ StarsFirst of all, reading this reminded me of that TV series “Billions” albeit in a more attractive package! Secondly, to be honest, I had a bit of a rough time starting as my first impression of Ian was not so great. His introduction scene had...
4½ Stars“Burning Up” had the ingredients I usually like in a book: firefighter, childhood friends, brother’s best friend/best friend’s sister, single dad. There were at least the firehouse camaraderie or close-knit community one grew up in to look...
3 StarsI was rather intrigued by the Maguire brothers since I read “Bad for Her” and was truly entertained by Rafe and Mollie’s word dance throughout the reading. “Never Been Good” is a step further in the siblings department for the Maguires. Whe...
3¼ StarsThis latest and fifth installment to the “Sinful Suitors” series touched on English politics with the undersecretary of the foreign office finally taking the spotlight. “The Secret of Flirting” is another winning tale of a cat and mouse rom...
4 StarsWhere to start... I shouldn’t be surprise that I love “Undone by You”. Cade “Alamo” Burnett is one of my favorite of the Rebels guys. It’s only fitting that I’d also love his book. Just color me wary after the last time I read a Kate Meader...
4 Stars“The man is not the spirit. I didn’t fall in love with the Swarm. I fell in love with you in spite of them.” “Swarm” is the first Raven de Hart’s book I read and it’s an interesting take of social caste and prejudice of human bearing gift b...
3 StarsMegan Erickson’s newest series brought to mind the assorted guys and gals on “Scorpion” TV series, although the reason Roarke Brennan put together the team was much more personal: avenging the death of his brother. This was the main mission...
3½ StarsGet a bucket of ice nearby and turn your fan or air con to low temperature as it’s getting HOT in here. The second entry in “The Barons” series had former NFL teammates Simeon and Adrián clashed in a tangle of limbs and senses. I’m new to S...
3¾ StarsThis last installment to “Bad Behavior” might not be as action-packed as other books in the series, but it is no less an appealing story; it’s funny, endearing, and heartwarming! As far away from deadly case as it is, “Romantic Behavior” -...
4 StarsAn early precaution: brace yourself for whatever the authors would throw at our characters. I won’t say more as not to spoil the fun, just take that as friendly reminder. “Reckless Behavior” is the third entry of LA Witt and Cari Z’s “Bad B...
4½ StarsWhat an absolute romp “Now That You Mention It” is. It’s quirky, tragic, and often mortifying. I was torn between laughter, sniffling, and indignation reading the mix of “adventures” our heroine going through during the twenty-eight or so c...
4 StarsRaeAnn Thayne brings the holiday early with “The Rancher’s Christmas Song”. Music teacher Ella Baker helps her neighbor rancher Becket McKinley’s twin sons prepare a surprise performance for their father in this installment to the “Cowboys...
4 StarsThere are multiple sides of every story depending on from which or whose point of view you see it. THIS is the vibe I get throughout the book. Liam hurt Sabrina thirteen years ago when he up and left her without words AND taking the money h...
3½ StarsWhat can I say, "Sugar Pine Trail" just gives me the feels! I love this book; it got me hooked from the first line and the characters are just delightful. The seventh installment to RaeAnne Thayne's "Haven Point" series brings former army p...
4½ StarsThe finale of EJ Russell's "Fae Out of Water" trilogy concludes with pomp and ceremony. And I mean in a literal sense. Following closely from where "The Druid Next Door" left off, this book brings the intrigues from the Faerie realm to the...
4 StarsJL Merrow's always been an auto-pick author of mine as I enjoy the brand of witticism and British tones in her stories. That said, I had a bit of ups and downs with "The Shamwell Tales" series, but Spun! is definitely on the up sphere of th...
4 StarsAs much as I loved the idea of the story, the delivery wasn't exactly bang-on. Like there were missing pieces or left-out issues that would've made this novella more gripping for me. Granted, "Enticing the Enemy" is the sequel to the ongoin...
3 StarsPicking up a book from a new-to-me author is like laying a bet on something; it could go either way, or it'd be a close call. Barely. What drew me to Sydney Landon's “Keeping It Hot” - aside from that charming book cover - was the blurb. I...
