Review: Bad Ex Karma – Donna Cummings

Review: Bad Ex Karma – Donna Cummings

Bad Ex Karma has Cummings’ trademark humor that I love so much, that, and the female friendships, the love of wine, and the hot male lead all made it a spectacular read! My Bad Ex Karma review: The beginning of Bad Ex Karma was both sad and very emotional, because Bradley actually broke up with Delia at the restaurant where he had taken her to celebrate their five years anniversary! What a douche, right? He had even taken her quite far from home so she couldn’t just stomp out of there and leave him to his own devices. She did manage to buckle up and order the most expensive wine on the menu, though, along with a side of lobster. […]

Review: Can’t Always Get What You Want – Chelsey Krause

Review: Can’t Always Get What You Want – Chelsey Krause

Can’t Always Get What you Want is a slow-paced, kind of sad romance in which Sophie needs to let go of the past so that she can get on with the rest of her life. My Can’t Always Get What You Want review: Can’t Always Get What You Want was tingled with sadness and want, because Sophie wasn’t ready to let the past completely go, even when meeting Brett and finding a man that was as close to her dream as possible. They were both single, and they had so much in common their story could have been quite straight-forward, if it wasn’t for the fact that Sophie had never truly let herself grieve Aaron, and so, five years later, […]

Review: Lawless in Leather – Melanie Scott

Review: Lawless in Leather – Melanie Scott

Lawless in Leather is my favorite New York Saints story! Mal and Raina were both awesome, flawed but willing to walk the walk to make a relationship possible! My Lawless in Leather review: I was impatient about Mal and Raina’s story! Especially Mal, because he has been quite mysterious and withdrawn in both The Devil in Denim and Angel in Armani. Getting to know the security chief better in Lawless in Leather, and see how little he enjoyed the fact that Alex wanted cheerleaders for the baseball team was really great! Raina was an excellent character strong-minded, independent, and proud of her burlesque club. Mal didn’t want to like her at all, but he couldn’t help himself once he saw […]

Review: A SEAL’s Pleasure – Tawny Weber

Review: A SEAL’s Pleasure – Tawny Weber

Fun, flirty and sexy, A SEAL’s Pleasure was a whirlwind of emotions 🙂 My A SEAL’s Pleasure review: Gabriel and Tessa really should have gotten along better from the start than they did… A SEAL’s Pleasure is about more than just Gabriel’s pleasure, though, because both he and Tessa know what they want from a sexual encounter, and usually, neither of them is too shy to go after it. When it comes to Gabriel, though, Tessa is afraid she won’t be able to stay away after a steamy affair, and she will not fall for a SEAL. At first, I thought Gabriel was going to be his usual, flirty self, but it was obvious quite soon that A SEAL’s Pleasure […]

Review: Angel in Armani – Melanie Scott

Review: Angel in Armani – Melanie Scott

Angel in Armani is the delightful second instalment in the New York Saints series, in which Sara, the helicopter pilot tries as hard as she can not to fall in love with Dr. Angelo. My Angel in Armani review: Between the funny female heli pilot and the hot doctor slash part owner of the New York Saints, Angel in Armani was both fun and hot, and included characters from The Devil in Denim to my pleasure. Sara and her father’s company was having a lot of financial trouble, but one guy wasn’t really going to change that, or was he? The politics of baseball was on the forefront in Angel in Armani, but the human relationships, and especially the fragile […]

Review: Zack – Sawyer Bennett

Review: Zack – Sawyer Bennett

Wham! And my heart broke! Kate is so loving, tender, open-minded and amazing I fell for her almost as hard as I fell for Zack and his ornery ways! My Zack review: When I started reading Zack, I knew the story would be heart-breaking, what with him getting over Gina’s death, in a car-wreck where he was in the car as well. Dealing with the guilt, having to pick up his life and be a single father to Ben all  the while working on getting back in top physical shape so he could play hockey again. Most of his team-mates don’t really know how to act around him, and he has no idea what he has to do to truly […]

Review: Becoming Rain – K. A. Tucker

Review: Becoming Rain – K. A. Tucker

Becoming Rain was fantastic! Kick-ass undercover female cop and gorgeous male suspect. My Becoming Rain review: Becoming Rain captivated me from the very first word, and I immediately felt for Clara and what she needed to do to get her job done. As I had already met and enjoyed Luke in Burying Water, I was happy to read a whole story with him as one of the main characters. He was a suspect in a car stealing ring in Portland, and Clara was brought in from the DC office to be undercover, dressed and acting like a socialite to entice Luke, she was ready to show the FBI that she would be right for any job they would offer her… […]

Review: The Angel – Tiffany Reisz

Review: The Angel – Tiffany Reisz

The Angel continues to show the strange world in which Nora evolves, surrounded by both friends and enemies. My The Angel review: One of the things I really loved in The Angel is that while Søren and Nora can still be seen as the main characters of the story, along with Kingsley, I also got to spend a lot of time with Michael and Griffin in this instalment. Michael was Nora’s angel in The Siren, and seeing him gain confidence and find love was nothing short of amazing. Once more, I was amazed at Ms. Reisz’s beautiful prose, because even when I was reading stuff that made me uncomfortable, I was frantically reading, pushing the ‘next page’ button on my […]

Review: Nowhere But Here – Katie McGarry

Review: Nowhere But Here – Katie McGarry

Nowhere But Here was like a double-hit: one to the gut, and one to the heart. My Nowhere But Here review: I’m not sure I’ll be able to explain what I loved the most in Nowhere But Here, the characters were amazing, both Emily and Oz were well fleshed out, and their parents were very much present in their lives. Very different parents, though – Emily grew up with her mother and her adoptive father, not knowing much about her biological father apart from the fact that he was high up in a motorcycle club. All Oz wanted was to be a part of that same motorcycle club, and he didn’t have much to do before he would finally be […]

Review: Faithful – S.A. Wolfe

Review: Faithful – S.A. Wolfe

Funny, hot, romantic and a little melodramatic at times, Faithful was a nice visit back in Hera and all the characters I’ve come to know and love! My Faithful review: In Faithful, Imogene sure showed that her stubborn, sarcastic personality is still going strong! When Cooper starts showing up at the diner, she continues to treat him like he’s the lowest of the low, and he always takes it with a smile and a wink. He’s just as stubborn as she is, even if it seems they want completely opposite things! He wants her, and she wants to be left alone with her shifts at the diner and her new online jewelry business. The characters I had learned to know […]
