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 […]

Review: Resisting the Rancher – Roxanne Snopek

Review: Resisting the Rancher – Roxanne Snopek

  Cute story with a nicely done friends-to-lover trope, with a little side of mystery. My Resisting the Rancher review: CeeCee is happy to be back in her home town, especially because she is finally able to open her own veterinary practice and make one of her dreams come true. Her state of bliss doesn’t last very long, however, since she starts getting threatening letters about a secret that might just be brought to light by the sender. When she realizes the threat is serious, she goes to see Jonah, who is a lawyer as well as her brother’s best friend. Resisting the Rancher is all about how CeeCee needs help, even if she kind of wishes she could ask […]

Review: Falling for Max – Shannon Stacey

Review: Falling for Max – Shannon Stacey

*I received a free ARC of Falling for Max from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The romance in Falling for Max is building so slowly, and it is truly adorable. I feel so good right now after finishing reading this story, it’s amazing! My Falling for Max review: Max has always been in the background in the other Kowalski Family stories, and he let the good people of Whitford come up with the reasons why – him being a serial killer was high up on the list. He wanted more in life in this story, though, and when he went to the diner to be more social, the first person he met was Tori who […]

Review: Sweet Surrendering – Chelsea M. Cameron

Review: Sweet Surrendering – Chelsea M. Cameron

*I received a free ARC of Sweet Surrendering from All Night Reads via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Sweet Surrendering is hot, intriguing and filled with humor and great friendships! My Sweet Surrendering review: I’m not normally a huge fan of office romances, but I have enjoyed several of Ms. Cameron’s contemporary romance novels in the past, so I figured I’d give Sweet Surrendering a try. And I’m really happy I did! Rory is an awesome heroine, funny, intelligent, confident, sexy and embracing the power she has as vice president of her company. Lucas is great, too, with all his secrets, his chin-dimple, his sexy wink and the way he works hard to make Rory’s life a little […]

Review: Saving the Sheriff – Roxanne Snopek

Review: Saving the Sheriff – Roxanne Snopek

*I received a free ARC of Saving the Sheriff from Entangled: Bliss via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Cute, funny and filled with lots of snow but still some hotness, Saving the Sheriff is a great Christmas novella. My Saving the Sheriff review: Frankie is saved by a big, bad sheriff when her rig is stuck in a snowdrift, but Red isn’t sure whether he can trust her or not – after all she is trespassing. As she has no good explanation for why she’s at Three River Ranch on Christmas Eve, dressed like an elf to boot, it’s hard to not understand where Red is coming from. Saving the Sheriff is both fun and romantic, and it’s […]

Review: Looking for Trouble – Victoria Dahl

Review: Looking for Trouble – Victoria Dahl

*I received a free ARC of Looking for Trouble from Harlequin HQN via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Hot, different and a little kinky, Looking for Trouble was definitely a fun ride! My Looking for Trouble review: Sophie and Alex both really surprised me as characters! They were nothing at all like they seemed, and that made Looking for Trouble an amazing read! Alex sports a shaved head, a huge motorcycle and lots of tattoos, but he really is a sweet and stand-up guy. Sophie on the other hand looks very demure in her long skirts and buttoned-up cardigans, but what she hides underneath her librarian clothing is utterly sexy and a little  kinky! Looking for Trouble is […]

Blogtour and Review: The Replacement – Rachael Wade

Blogtour and Review: The Replacement – Rachael Wade

Welcome to my stop on The Replacement / The Prisoner blogtour. I have the tour-wide giveaway (US only – sorry!) to share with you, as well as my review and my favorite quotes. This tour is hosted by Xpresso Booktours, and if you click on the banner above, you’ll be taken to the full tour schedule if you want to check out other stops. My The Replacement review: Quite different from the stories I normally read, The Replacement captivated me – in the beginning it was because I really couldn’t stand Elise. She is the epitome of ‘the other woman’ she seeks out men who are already in a relationship, and uses all she has at her disposal to get […]

Review: Rites of Passage – Joy N. Hensley

Review: Rites of Passage – Joy N. Hensley

*I received a free ARC of Rites of Passage from Harper Teen via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Rites of Passage is a creepy read, with undertones of The Lord of the Flies. My Rites of Passage review: Rites of Passage really shows how much struggle it can be for a woman to be in the army, and even more so because Sam enters a high-school that’s a preparation for the army later, and most of her superior officers are under the age of twenty, and frankly quite upset about the fact that women are now accepted into this prestigious school that used to be an all-men place. It doesn’t matter to anyone that Sam may have all […]

Wedding at Cardwell Ranch – B.J. Daniels

Wedding at Cardwell Ranch – B.J. Daniels

*I received a free ARC of Wedding at Cardwell Ranch from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Romance, mystery, suspense and some hot cowboy in an amazing community, Wedding at Cardwell Ranch is a pleasant read. My Wedding at Cardwell Ranch review: Finally back to work after her husband’s possible death, Allie is quite happy to be organizing a wedding at Cardwell ranch, if only to be out of her cabin and the strange things that are happening there. Of course, the fact that her precious daughter Natalie has lots of other kids to play with helps as well. Strange happenings continue to occur in her cabin, from finding lighted candles in the middle of the night, […]

Review: Rock Addiction (Rock Kiss #1) – Nalini Singh

Review: Rock Addiction (Rock Kiss #1) – Nalini Singh

*I received a free ARC of Rock Addiction from TKA Distribution via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* New adult scorching hot erotica, that’s Rock Addiction in a nut-shell. My Rock Addiction review: I had trouble getting int Rock Addiction at the beginning of the story, and I have to admit I rolled my eyes a little bit. Molly is a 24-year-old virgin. And those who know my blog know that this is a pet-peeve of mine, right? Why is she a virgin? And why, oh why would she decide that her first time would be with a mega rock-star, while at the same time almost having a panic attack at the thought of paparazzi? And how could he make […]
