At feeling his suppressed desire and longing, I nuzzled his neck, seeking more, wanting to touch him, not through his uniform but his bare skin. “Shh. You need sleep. Nightmares have been keeping you up. You’re exhausted. Wish I could […]

Review: Rock Courtship – Nalini Singh

Review: Rock Courtship – Nalini Singh

Sizzling hot, but still tender and character-driven, Rock Courtship is a beautiful story! My Rock Courtship review: YUM! and More! are the first two things that come to mind after finishing reading. I really enjoyed the story in Rock Courtship, even if Rock Addiction didn’t really do it for me, this one certainly did. Both Thea and David are really well fleshed out, and their romance was very slow-moving, at first through e-mails, memos and phone calls. All of those were hot and sexy, and at the same time, their back-and-forth let me get to know them really well. It was easy to understand both of them, and I have to say I’m happy David was so stubborn. As I […]

Review: In Her Wake – K.A. Tucker

Review: In Her Wake – K.A. Tucker

In Her Wake is an emotional rollercoaster like only Tucker can write them! Meeting Cole before Ten Tiny Breaths was truly amazing, I loved seeing exactly how the accident happened, and how consumed with guilt and sorrow he was during several years. My In Her Wake review: The fact that Cole was the only one who survived the accident apart from Kacey really hit home on a whole other level when seeing the story unfold from his point of view. Of course, because this novella is kind of like a companion to Ten Tiny Breaths, there are some spoilers from that in this review. The writing is haunting, and extremely well done. In first person present tense, it’s as if […]

Up Close and (un)Conventional #8 – Classes

Up Close and (un)Conventional #8 – Classes

Up Close and (un)Conventional #8 – Classes Welcome to this week’s Up Close and (un)Conventional. I am going to talk a little bit about my classes this week, because my long summer vacation is finally over, and classes started again this week. Last week, I got the news that I have completed my BA and got my degree in English language and literature and General Linguistics. I was totally happy-dancing, opening the champagne and celebrating that! It took me four years, but I did it! So, now I’m starting my MA classes in English language and literature, and I am debating whether or not to start substitute teaching as well. Some you might already know that I used to be […]

Review: The Devil in Denim – Melanie Scott

Review: The Devil in Denim – Melanie Scott

Fun, hot, filled with intrigue and complications, The Devil in Denim is a sporty contemporary romance with some awesome characters. My The Devil in Denim review: I fell in love with Alex from the moment he first showed up in the bar where Maggie was trying to drown all her sorrows in tequila. Even if he was the cause of her anger and heartache, his reaction to everything she threw at him was so great, I just swooned and almost let my kindle slip out from between my hands. Maggie had just had the day from hell, and it truly didn’t help her when Alex showed up while she was trying to get rid of every single memory of that […]

Review: Fix You: Bash and Olivia #2 – Christine Bell

Review: Fix You: Bash and Olivia #2 – Christine Bell

*I received a free ARC of Fix You from Christine Bell via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Tense, sad but incredibly strong, Fix You was filled with feels! My Fix You: Bash and Olivia #2 review: Olivia’s douche-bag boyfriend really showed his true colors in this story! I thought I couldn’t stand Andy in the first book, but he exceeded all my bad expectations here! Olivia had to be very strong, both because of everything going on with her parents and because Bash was taken to jail. In order to help get him out on bail, she will do whatever it takes, including pawning her jewelry, but he thinks she doesn’t want to come visit him in prison, […]

Review : A Gentleman ’til Midnight – Alison DeLaine

Review : A Gentleman ’til Midnight – Alison DeLaine

*I received a free ARC of A Gentleman ’til Midnight from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Fun and outrageous are just two of the words I have to describe A Gentleman ’til Midnight! Strong female lead is another. My A Gentleman ’til Midnight review: Starting with a ship closing in on a man floating on a small piece of driftwood, unconscious and seemingly still alive, A Gentleman ’til Midnight caught my full attention. Even more so when I realized the captain of the ship – which might be a pirate ship – was a woman! And at first, she didn’t want to risk hoisting a sick man aboard, even if her ship was the only one […]
