Till I Kissed You
by Laura Trentham
"Wonderful Conclusion to a Wonderful Series"
Posted September 3, 2016

TILL I KISSED YOU is the culmination of a story building not only for the span of the two previous Cottonbloom books, but for the lifetime of these characters. While this can be read as a stand alone, I'll be honest and say I think you'll be missing Read more...


Don't Tempt Me
by Lori Foster
"Tribes Become Family"
Posted August 23, 2016

One of the most delightful things to me in a romance is when friends/side characters become a tribe of framily. I love watching folks that continuously choose each other find strength in the bonds that come with it. It's why I'm drawn again and again to series Read more...


Mata Hari's Last Dance
by Michelle Moran
"A Mysterious Woman Gets a Focused Treatment"
Posted August 23, 2016

I am a huge fan of Michelle Moran's. I love reading about women throughout history that I was never really taught about in formal education. Particularly wonderful for me is that she usually writes in first person, making it easy to feel motivations and choices about these women Read more...


Tell Me No Lies
by Magnolia Smith
"Alphas Gotta Alpha"
Posted August 23, 2016

Guys, I just could not with this book. Could. Not. If you are someone who likes serious, and I do mean serious Alphas, or are into the power dichotomies frequently present in NA, then you very well may enjoy this. It has intrigue, suspense, mysterious dudes doing mysterious Read more...


The One For Me
by Sydney Landon
"Insta-Love Tastic!"
Posted August 23, 2016

If you're into insta-love, then THE ONE FOR ME is probably gonna scratch your itches. While Crystal has been lusting after Mark for a while, he doesn't notice her until she falls into his arms - literally. Once she does, he is 100% into her in a matter Read more...


Fight to the Finish
by Jeanette Murray
"It's Always the Quiet Ones To Watch"
Posted August 6, 2016

I've never read any of Jeanette Murray's works before, and I was a little hesitant to jump straight into a series that was clearly well established. I will admit, this one takes a little while to find your bearings if you haven't read the entire series. There Read more...


Getting It Back
by Elizabeth Harmon
"Skating Champs Leave This Reviewer Cold"
Posted August 1, 2016

Y'all, I was so excited about this book. I love sports romances and I love figure skating. I've also watched all season of THE AMERICANS which has led to me to a fascination with Russia. A book which scratched all these itches? COUNT. ME. IN. But, meh. The Read more...


The Hating Game
by Sally Thorne
"Haters need not apply"
Posted August 1, 2016

The premise of this book was so intriguing. Two co- workers who hate each other so much that they've actually made a game of it. Well, actually, they've made a thousand little games of it, and you can feel the contempt dripping off each of them. The Mirror Read more...


Wild Horses
by Claire McEwen
"Tree Huggers Clash and Find Love"
Posted July 24, 2016

This book is an environmental PSA disguised as a romance novel. Now, don't get me wrong, there is definitely a romance in there. But we're introduced to the hero, Todd, as an activist who is willing to break laws and risk personal health for his causes. His choices Read more...


Baby Doll
by Hollie Overton
"Buckle. Up."
Posted July 17, 2016

A few things before this one even gets started: this is a book about an abduction of a teenager. Said teenager is abused for eight years before making her escape. If your brain fills in all the horrific things that must have happened to her and you need to walk Read more...


Pregnant With A Royal Baby
by Susan Meier
"Sweet Marriage of Convenience Story"
Posted June 24, 2016

So what do you do when your one night stand turns into your baby daddy? Loads of women in real life and romance heroines alike have faced that question. However, I'm sure few if any have ever faced Ginny's dilemma in this book: what if said baby daddy Read more...


Playing Hard
by Melanie Scott
"Home Run for Scott"
Posted June 24, 2016

I am a complete sucker for sports romances. Honestly, it's probably becoming a bit of a problem. I adore watching sports, so I suppose this all flows naturally. I find the fragile egos of professional athletes to be particularly pleasing romance fodder, I don't know why. I put Read more...


Slamdunked by Love
by Jamie Wesley
"Wit Trumps Revenge"
Posted June 22, 2016

Lord alive did this one take a bit to get going. Or, I should really say that it took a little while for me to believe in this story at all. By the end of it, I really enjoyed it and would recommend it as a great sports romance - particularly Read more...


Kiss Me That Way
by Laura Trentham
"Sweet Second Chance Romance"
Posted June 21, 2016

This book opens with a young Cade and a young Monroe, our hero and heroine, on the night they said goodbye. Immediately, author Laura Trentham establishes that there is probably no one else in the world who knows these two like they know each other, and that probably will never Read more...


Then He Kissed Me
by Laura Trentham
"Beta Heroes are the Best Heroes"
Posted June 21, 2016

Do you like beta heroes? Read this book. Do you like second chance romances with sassy women and the quiet, but strong as hell men who love them? Read this book. Do you like small town romances that avoid saccharine and surrender to real? Read this book. THEN Read more...


13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl
by Mona Awad
"Arresting Series of Essays"
Posted June 21, 2016

13 WAYS OF LOOKING AT A FAT GIRL is not really a novel, but it is. It's a cohesive narrative broken into multiple points of view that leads it to feel like a kaleidoscope view of a character instead of a full one. In her debut novel, Mona Awad Read more...


New Leaf
by Catherine Anderson
"New Year, New Life"
Posted June 21, 2016

Oooooof, this book was rough for me. The sweetness that could come from this kind of story too often veered into saccharine and unbelievable, as though humans would not really process information or behave this way. Some moments were sweet and the chemistry between the hero and heroine Read more...


From This Day Forward
by Lauren Layne
"Wedding Professionals Find Love"
Posted June 6, 2016

Christ on a Ritz Cracker, y'all, THIS BOOK. It is trope- nip to me. Weddings/wedding planners, check. Second chances, check. Sassy heroine, check. Plus, clocking in at 100 pages, I read it in one sitting. Perfection for a quiet Saturday morning, with Read more...


If You Only Knew
by Kristan Higgins
"Happily Ever Afters Can Be Internal Journeys, Too"
Posted June 4, 2016

IF YOU ONLY KNEW is Higgins' first foray into "women's fiction", which for her seems to mean that the core relationship is not a woman and a man but something else. The backbone of this story is Rachel and Jenny, sisters on parallel but divergent journeys to Read more...


Rustler's Moon
by Jodi Thomas
"Solid Read About Finding Home"
Posted May 12, 2016

This book is a bit of a genre mash up. It's definitely a romance, but straddles between romantic suspense and a solid western romance. RUSTLER'S MOON was a slow burn of a book that will satisfy any reader who enjoys fully realized characters with individual and intertwined journeys Read more...

Re: Once Upon a Power Play (11:41am November 17, 2015):

Their profession is based on discipline and focus, which
usually, shall we say, flows over into other areas, haha!
Plus, all the reasons you listed above for sure.
