Review: True Hero by Susan Owensby

This is an intriguing story is about a former Navy Seal and a woman running from her abusive husband and it is filled with romance and suspense.  While I enjoyed the story and the characters, the dialogue didn’t feel natural or realistic and I thought the hero acted immature. Ally has no other choice but […]

This is the first book I have read by Xio Axelrod.  I decided to read it because it sounded interesting and I am happy to say, I was not disappointed.  This is a fast paced, engaging story filled with intrigue and passion.  The writing style is solid and the dynamics between the characters are realistic […]

Review: Buns by Alice Clayton

This is the third book in the Hudson Valley series and each one is a standalone. I love Alice Clayton’s writing style and enjoy reading everything she writes.  Her stories are well written, funny and witty.  BUNS is another fun romance, with lots of banter between the characters.  In this story we have two people […]

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, […]

Quickie Review: Tycoon by Katy Evans

I love Katy Evans, but this book was not one of my favorites. The relationship between the characters felt disjointed and rushed. And as a second chance romance, I really needed to feel like these characters resolved the past and were able to solidly move forward. I didn’t get any of that.  Instead, they jumped […]

Review:  All I Am by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Despite my questionable relationship with novellas, I had to pick this up and jump back into the THIS MAN world.  And I have to say, Drew’s story did not disappoint. Drew, one of Jesse’s best friends, holds himself back from women.  He’s been burned before and he’s not willing to risk his love for anyone […]

Review:  The Idea of You by Robinne Lee

I liked the premise of this book, an older woman falling in love with a much younger man.  It even had the added twist that he’s a teenage heartthrob in the latest hit boy band. I liked the relationship between Solene and Hayes.  Despite the age difference these two clicked.  Hayes pursued and Solene let […]
