Review: Dark Skye – Kresley Cole

Review: Dark Skye – Kresley Cole

*I received a free ARC of Dark Skye from Gallery Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* WOW Dark Skye is an awesome installment in the Immortals After Dark series! And can I just say character growth? My Dark Skye review: Thronos and Leanthe have such a complicated relationship it’s a wonder they actually even talked to each other at all. Dark Skye seemingly threw them together at a very inopportune time, but of course, soothsayer Nyx had something to do with that, and she showed up more than once to my utter enchantment. Thronos having searched for Leanthe for centuries made me really feel for him, even if he also acted like an ass for a long […]

Giveaway and Blogtour Review: No Apologies – Sybil Bartel

Giveaway and Blogtour Review: No Apologies – Sybil Bartel

*I received a free ARC of No Apologies from Xpresso Booktours in exchange of an honest review* Welcome to my stop on the No Apologies Blogtour! I have my review to share with you, as well as an international giveaway for a $25 Amazon GC. This story is raw, tense, tender and a pretty rough read! It is very seldom that I give five stars to a book I’m reviewing for a blogtour, however, No Apologies really, really deserve my five stars, it is well written and I was completely and utterly mesmerized both by the story and the two main characters. My No Apologies review: Graham is one of those hard-ass heroes, you know the one, you either love […]

Review: Come – J.A. Huss

Review: Come – J.A. Huss

Come is a dark, fast-paced and addictive read, in which Harper has to make some decisions about trust and her future. My Come review: Come is set in the same universe as the Rook & Ronin series, and the spin-off. Most of the characters are new, which makes things exciting, while at the same time because the world is familiar, it makes it easier to get to know them. I really enjoyed Harper in Come. She has been on the run for almost a year, and it takes quite a while to realize why she’s on the run, and who exactly it is she’s running from. She has gotten so good at feeling invisible that when a guy approaches her […]

Review: No Boundaries – Donna K Ford

Review: No Boundaries – Donna K Ford

*I received a free ARC of No Boundaries from Bold Strokes Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* No Boundaries is a sweet, tender contemporary suspense romance, sharing the budding relationship between Gwen and Andi. My No Boundaries review: While I really enjoyed the characters in No Boundaries, the story was so slow paced it felt like double the pages that were actually there. The story itself is quite good, but it took a long time for Gwen and me to figure out what had really happened to Andi. And while I can understand that Andi was hiding behind a wall o f indifference to protect herself, and also those she loved, I felt like it was a […]

Review: Dash of Peril – Lori Foster

Review: Dash of Peril – Lori Foster

*I received a free ARC of Dash of Peril from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Dash of Peril is a hot and exciting contemporary romance, filled with both danger, fun and steamy scenes. My Dash of Peril review: Dash of Peril is delightful because there is both a lot of excitement, and a lot of romance. And I just love stories where one of the protagonists is doing whatever they can to not fall in love, because the longing is so awesome. And when they do finally fall, it’s delicious to read about. Margo is a cop, and she’s very good at her job. This means that she doesn’t often have the time to be with […]

Review: Hunter by Night – Elisabeth Staab

Review: Hunter by Night – Elisabeth Staab

*I received a free ARC of Hunter by Night from Sourcebooks Casablanca via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Hunter by Night is a pretty typical vampire story, in which the relationship between a human girl and a tough vampire warrior is the main subject. My Hunter by Night review: I think the fact that Hunter by Night is not all that different from a lot of other paranormal romances made me not completely into it, as I thought I would be. Lee is several hundred years old, and for most of those years, he has hated humans because of what they did to his family way back when. Alexia is staying with the vampires only because her best […]

Review: Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom – Vanessa Kelly

Review: Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom – Vanessa Kelly

*I received a free ARC of Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom from Kensington Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom is very bold, a great historical romance, with a mystery, reluctant romance, and a very strong and capable heroine. My Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom review: Confessions of a Royal Bridegroom is delightful on all counts! There is a very strong female character, Justine, and I really enjoyed Griffin a lot too. He’s giving the whole ton his middle finger, by actually owning and working a brothel, even if everyone knows that he is of royal descent. Most of the ton also owes him money, and so, when someone delivers a baby to his […]

Review: The Cowboy Rescues a Bride – Cora Seton

Review: The Cowboy Rescues a Bride – Cora Seton

*I received a free ARC of The Cowboy Rescues a Bride from One Acre Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Cowboy Rescues a Bride shows a very different side to Fila than that seen in the prior Cowboys of Chance Creek series. My The Cowboy Rescues a Bride review: Unfortunately, I didn’t find Fila all that compelling or believable, and thus, The Cowboy Rescues a Bride is my least favorite book in this series. Ned, his brothers and their friends are always fun to visit with, but for part of the story, they weren’t around. Fila was a mystery in many ways, very contradicting most of the time. She would start crying when she was singing […]

Review: Rules of Survival – Jus Accardo

Review: Rules of Survival – Jus Accardo

*I received a free ARC of Rules of Survival from Entangled Publishing via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Rules of Survival is an action-packed read, where Mikayla needs to follow her mom’s rules, just to survive another day. And she can never know whom to trust. My Rules of Survival review: Fast-paced, full of action, some romance and Kayla’s rules, Rules of Survival is a very addictive read. From the very beginning, it was clear to me that Kayla was in big trouble, and when two bounty hunters came upon her, that was quickly confirmed. Only, that wasn’t the end of it, suddenly a car came up to the cabin in the woods, and someone started shooting at Kayla […]

Review: You Own Me – Shiloh Walker

Review: You Own Me – Shiloh Walker

*I received a free ARC of You Own Me from Shiloh Walker via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* You Own Me has all the anguish and love from a distance I love in a contemporary romance novel, where the protagonists haven’t ever admitted to each other how they feel about each other. My You Own Me review: Lizzie and Decker are best friends, they have been for a long time, even during the time Decker spent in jail. You Own Me shows how deep Lizzie and Decker’s feelings towards each other are, no matter that Lizzie has a boyfriend she’s been with for the past three years. Little by little, I learned that Lizzie’s boyfriend was a true […]
