Review: Wrecking Ball by P. Dangelico

WRECKING BALL is a delightful surprise.  What makes the story so good are the layered, complex characters.  They have depth and are developed slowly and there are plenty of funny lines that had me laughing out loud.  Along with the laughter, there is also emotion and heartache as the two main characters stumble through their […]

Review: Victoria by Daisy Goodwin

     After reading Victoria by Daisy Goodwin, I can’t wait to watch the PBS production! I learned a lot reading this one and further expanded my vocabulary. I enjoyed the descriptions of the gowns worn in the book and that will be something to forward to seeing on TV series. The best part of the […]

Review: Roman by Sawyer Bennett

ROMAN is the seventh book in the Cold Fury hockey series.  Each book in the series is a standalone, although all the characters are interconnected. This is a charming story about Roman Sykora, the enforcer for the Cold Fury hockey team.  He is the bad boy on the team and his antics keep getting him […]

Review: Make Me by Beth Kery

I love a good second chance romance and Make Me is that and more.  Originally it was 8 novella’s that have now been combined into one full-length novel and I am so glad I found the full version; it is quite a ride. Harper McFadden is looking for a change of pace – leaving her […]

Review: Frostblood by Elly Blake

I’ve been on a fantasy kick lately and I have to say, FROSTBLOOD was one that surprised me. I was intrigued by Ruby, a Fireblood, who was hidden in a small village and told to keep her gift a secret. As her story unfolded, I wondered how this young girl, who’d lost everything, was going […]

Review:  Dare to Lie by Jen McLauglin

I have enjoyed the Sons of Steel Row but I was a bit nervous about Scotty’s story.  He is an undercover DEA agent and I was worried that it may not be accurate or true to life for me.  Jen McLaughlin did an excellent job at moving this romantic suspense along and making it seem probable […]

Review:  I See You by Molly McAdams

I feel like I need to start this review with I absolutely adore Molly McAdams but I didn’t love this book.  Not every book by a beloved author is for every reader and I See You wasn’t for me.  I felt this book was overly angsty, the characters didn’t communicate, the jumping around time frame just did me […]

Review: Waiting For an Earl Like You by Alexandra Hawkins

Alexandra Hawkins always provides guilty pleasure historical romances. The heroes are generally wicked and the heroines headstrong to stand up to that wicked hero. This book was no exception. The interactions between Thorn and Olivia were delightful. I couldn’t wait for the next interaction because they completely threw each other off-kilter. And let’s not talk […]
