ARC Review:  My Roommate is a Vampire by Jenna Levine

This was a cute read. I enjoyed the unlikely relationship between Cassie and Frederick. The quirkiness of Cassie’s personality with the staunch rigidness of Frederick worked. There were some plot holes that I really wanted answers to (what was this portion Reginald was working on and why did he give it to Frederick? Frederick’s “gift”, why […]

Review: Wired by Julie Garwood

I love everything Julie Garwood writes and when she comes out with a new book, I can’t wait to read it. I enjoy contemporary romance with some mystery thrown in and that is exactly what you get with this book.   While stories about FBI agents is one of my favorites, I have to admit, […]

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: Rules of Contact by Jaci Burton

This is the twelfth book in the Play by Play series and each one is a standalone and all the characters are interconnected. I have enjoyed reading all the stories in this series and the secondary characters are what make these stories so entertaining. RULES OF CONTACT has an engaging storyline and the interactions between the […]

I have really enjoyed reading this entertaining series about sexy fighter pilots.  All the guys have a strong bond and care about each and they also enjoy giving each other a hard time. This is the third installment in the Wild Aces series and is a standalone but all the characters are interconnected. This is […]

Review:  Dark Carousel by Christine Feehan

Paranormal is basically my catnip, so I was thrilled to read the latest book by Christine Feehan. Dark Carousel is my first Christine Feehan, but it will not be my last. This book features Charlotte and Tariq, who knows immediately that she’s supposed to be his lifemate. They both share a passion for carousel horses- […]

Review: Ruled by Elle Kennedy

Steamy and salacious! This read was all kinds of yummy and hot. “Ruled” is the third book in this series, but I didn’t have to read the first two to understand what was going on. In fact, this is my first read by this author and I loved it! Reese is the Outlaw Queen, as […]

I have to say that out of all the books I have read by Maya Banks – this one by far is my favorite. Silas is an enforcer who has been protecting Drake and his brothers all his life and he has been happy with what that has been.  When he sees Haley in the […]

Review: Maverick by Lisa Bingham

This a book that I initially had a hard time settling into, but once I did, I found myself enjoying it. This is the third in the series by Ms. Bingham about the Taggart brothers. I don’t know if missing books 1 and 2 contributed to the slow start, but I can’t help but wonder […]
