Review: Croc and the Fox – Eve Langlais

Review: Croc and the Fox – Eve Langlais

Croc and the Fox is filled with humor, some shifter fights, the ongoing mystery of the Mastermind, and lots of hot chemistry! My Croc and the Fox review: As always when I read a Langlais erotica, Croc and the Fox filled me with delight, good laughs, many hot moments and funny characters to follow on their adventures. I had already enjoyed Viktor and his bachelor ways in prior FUC stories, and he didn’t disappoint here. However, he hadn’t counted on actually enjoying Renee and her clinging ways quite as much as he ended up doing. One of the things I enjoyed was that the mystery of the evil Mastermind – a shifter who kidnaps other shifters to experiment on them […]

Review: Magic Burns – Ilona Andrews

Review: Magic Burns – Ilona Andrews

Magic Burns is filled with mystery, mythology, fights and some very hot chemistry between Kate and Curran. And I’m definitely a fan of all of that 🙂 My Magic Burns review: In Magic Burns, Kate grows as a character, while still staying true to herself as well. She realizes just how important pack-business is for the wolves, especially when Jim more or less abandons her at a crime-scene, leaving her both to take care of a dead guy, a magic salamander and a hidden crossbow-shooter. With her usual pragmatic reasoning, Kate does manage all of it, even to bring in the dead guy’s head so she can get her fee from the Mercenary Guild, who had wanted him dead or […]

Review: Like – J.A. Huss

Review: Like – J.A. Huss

In Like, the readers get to know both Grace and Vaughn a little better… but those little crumbs just made me want much, much more! My Like review: Like shows just how far Vaughn is willing to go in order to make sure Grace will play along with him. From filling up her Starbucks card with more money than she earns in a year, to chatting with her on Twitter, and phoning her for some dirty talk and phone sex… It also gave me a new appreciation for both Vaughn and Grace. And while I still don’t exactly like Vaughn yet, I certainly am starting to see the appeal he has had for Grace these past years. Written in one […]

Review: Dark Triumph – Robin LaFevers

Review: Dark Triumph – Robin LaFevers

  Sybella is an amazing character to follow, and I fell in love with both her and Beast in Dark Triumph! My Dark Triumph review: Fast paced, filled with danger and intrigue, battles and battlescars, Dark Triumph kept me up part of the night, and on the edge of my seat to see how Sybella would deal with all of her problems all at once. And my dislike for Mortain’s abbess grew in this story – that woman needs to be marqued, and soon! The main character in Dark Triumph is Sybella, but Ismae and Duval show up as well, as does Beast. And d’Ablret truly showed his despicable colors in this installment as well. Filled with many characters that […]

Review: The Heart of Christmas – Brenda Novak

Review: The Heart of Christmas – Brenda Novak

  The Heart of Christmas is a lovely story about Eve, who is one of my few friends in Whiskey Creek still in need of some serious TLC! My The Heart of Christmas review: Eve Harmon is the character who is the main focus in The Heart of Christmas. For a long time, she’s been all alone, and her last relationship didn’t last, and now, Ted is engaged to someone else – with Eve’s blessings. For her birthday, she decides to go all out, even if her friends or parents aren’t in town, and when she wakes up the next day, there’s a strange man sleeping next to her in bed. Completely out of character for her, Eve is trying […]

Review: Christmas with a SEAL – Tawny Weber

Review: Christmas with a SEAL – Tawny Weber

Hot, funny and totally filled with the Christmas spirit, Christmas with a SEAL got my heart beating faster as Frankie and Phillip got to know each other better. My Christmas with a SEAL review: Philip used to be the stuck-up commander of a team of SEALs, normally only called ‘Sir’, but after his abduction, he was not acting as tough anymore. At his sister’s wedding, Frankie – Lara’s friend – went around looking specifically for him, because he was her fantasy man ever since she was a teen. Christmas with a SEAL has some really good characters, but I mostly got to follow Phillip and Frankie – in and out of the bedroom… The strong chemistry and evident attraction between […]

Review: Get Happy – Mary Amato

Review: Get Happy – Mary Amato

*I received a free ARC of Get Happy from Egmont USA via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Get Happy is a sweet, upbeat story, even though it deals with some tough issues for Min and the fact that she can’t remember her dad at all, and her mom won’t even talk about him. My Get Happy review: Get Happy is a really good story about how teens can worry about things that seem inconsequential for the adults in their lives. Min is such a teenager, she has some thoughts that are anchored in her brain, and nothing will really change her feelings. For years, she’s wanted a ukulele for her birthday, but this year once more, she gets […]

Review: Grave Mercy – Robin LaFevers

Review: Grave Mercy – Robin LaFevers

Intrigue, court politics, betrayals and Death’s handmaiden… Grave Mercy was an awesome read! My Grave Mercy review: There are so many awesome elements in Grave Mercy I almost don’t know where to start! There is a strong female main character, Ismae has certainly had a hard life, but she is a true fighter. She is also an honorable and loyal fighter who is willing to walk the walk for her God, Death himself. There are intricate court politics, a very young Duchess, a covent that trains young girls to become Death’s assassins and historical facts that seem very real. Not being at all a specialist on Brittany in the 15th century, I don’t know how accurate these historical facts are, […]

Review: Ugly Love – Colleen Hoover

Review: Ugly Love – Colleen Hoover

Ugly Love is so full of feels! There is love, hope, devastation, loss, hopelessness, distraction… You name it – I felt it! My Ugly Love review: It has taken me several weeks to finally review Ugly Love. That is because even now, I feel like crying when I think about this heart-wrenching story! I cried the biggest ugly tears I have ever cried while reading a book. The story is so well done, especially because it is written in dual points of views, both from Tate’s and Miles’ point of view. However, the chapters written in Miles point of view are a lot shorter, and I didn’t get to know him any better than Tate did. And I thought the […]

Review: Between the Sheets – Molly O’Keefe

Review: Between the Sheets – Molly O’Keefe

Between the Sheets is a very profound story, where the romance took the back-seat and finding themselves became the characters’ main purpose. My Between the Sheets review: When I started reading Between the Sheets, I thought I had it all figured out! Hot erotic images were in my mind, but they were quickly transformed into an incredible story, with a plot that encompassed much more than romance, and characters that were complex, and that evolved in leaps and bounds throughout the book. It was such a nice surprise to have both community, family connections, difficult relationships and hardship all mixed together to create a beautiful story with characters I could truly root for. Shelby was still dealing with the aftermath […]
