Review: Don’t Talk to Strangers – Amanda Kyle Williams

Review: Don’t Talk to Strangers – Amanda Kyle Williams

*I received a free ARC of Don’t Talk to Strangers from Bantam Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* My Don’t Talk to Strangers Review Don’t Talk to Strangers is a fantastic, devious and clever suspense story. Complete with a big fat who-dun-it, a most excellent private detective / profiler who used to work for the FBI and a possible serial killer in a small town where there are many small-minded people. Keye Street sure has her work cut out for her when the sheriff of Whisper, Georgia, calls her to ask for her services in a case where two female bodies have been found one on top of the other in the woods, close to a stream. […]

Review: Tabula Rasa – Kristen Lippert-Martin

Review: Tabula Rasa – Kristen Lippert-Martin

*I received a free ARC of Tabula Rasa from Egmont USA via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Tabula Rasa is an excellent science fiction YA story, I loved the scientific aspect of it, and Sarah was an amazing main character. At the beginning of Tabula Rasa, the readers find Sarah in a facility where scientists and doctors are working on erasing part of her memory. They won’t let her see herself in a mirror, as her looks might trigger memories they have already gotten rid of. She thinks she is there because she is a criminal who has done something horrible, and erasing some of her memories are supposed to make her a stand-up citizen once more. Only […]

Review: Back to Buckhorn (Buckhorn Brothers #7) – Lori Foster

Review: Back to Buckhorn (Buckhorn Brothers #7) – Lori Foster

*I received a free ARC of Back to Buckhorn from Harlequin HQN via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Back to Buckhorn is an enticing, exciting and very sweet contemporary romance, where the two main characters had a secret crush on each other in high-school, but neither of them acted on it back then! However, when Zoey comes back to Buckhorn, Garrett and not his sister Amber, is the one to pick her up at the airport. Sporting the most awful look she could have imagined – a small child vomited on her just before landing – Zoey wished he wouldn’t recognize her at all – but no such luck. Their relationship progresses rather quickly, but in the kind […]

Review: Love, Lex (The Undergrad Years #1) – Avery Aster

Review: Love, Lex (The Undergrad Years #1) – Avery Aster

*I received a free ARC of Love, Lex from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Short, hot, pretty unbelievable but lots of fun, Love, Lex is a prequel to the Manhattanites series by Avery Aster. It tells the story of Lex, her crazy mom, her distant and absent father, her best friends and her awful boyfriend. For Lex, hiding from the paparazzi is second nature, and it has been since she was a little girl. However, they always seem to be able to find her at the worst possible moments. Love, Lex goes from fun, to despair, to prison and back to fun and hotness in a very fast-paced and fun read. You do need to be able to […]

Review: My Sweetest Escape (My Favorite Mistake #2) – Chelsea M. Cameron

Review: My Sweetest Escape (My Favorite Mistake #2) – Chelsea M. Cameron

*I received a free ARC of My Sweetest Escape from Harlequin HQN via Netgalley in exhange of an honest review* My Sweetest Escape is the second book in the My Favorite Mistake series, and sadly, it did not live up to its predecessor My Favorite Mistake. There were too many things I just didn’t ‘get’ in My Sweetest Escape, the main being that Jos is almost nineteen years old, but she moves from her dorm to change universities because her mom, and her sister Renee tell her she has to. Jos used to be the good girl, the one who had straight As, was involved in many clubs and she had a boyfriend who was aiming for the White House. […]

Review: Bare Essentials – Jill Shalvis, Leslie Kelly

Review: Bare Essentials – Jill Shalvis, Leslie Kelly

*I received a free ARC of Bare Essentials from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Bare Essentials contains two pretty long novellas, the first one is Naughty but Nice by Jill Shalvis, and as with most of her books, I was drawn into the story from the very start, both by the quirky but hot characters, the sexual tension and the humor. Between Cassie and Tag, there is first nothing at all, apart maybe some kind of awareness, before they both decide the other couldn’t be more wrong for them if they tried. And that made the story so humorous. Cassie had it a little tough growing up in the small town, though, especially because her mother […]

Review: Sinful Seduction (Red Stone Security #8) – Katie Reus

*I received a free ARC of Sinful Seduction from CrushStar Multimedia LLC via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Sinful Seduction is a very fast-paced, hot and exciting contemporary romantic-suspense novel! Mina is living under her mother’s maiden name in the Florida Keys, where she can be incognito, work with her art, and just enjoy life. At least she can mostly enjoy most of life, one thing is truly missing from her life, though, and that is a man to share everything with. Until and evening when she leaves her friend’s gallery, with a huge check in her purse, and decides to cut through an alley on her way home. Blue is feeling a little lonely, after his last […]

Review: Turn up the Heat – Lori Foster, Victoria Dahl and Christie Ridgway

Review: Turn up the Heat – Lori Foster, Victoria Dahl and Christie Ridgway

*I received a free ARC of Turn up the Heat from Harlequin HQN via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Turn up the Heat is an anthology of hot contemporary love stories written by Lori Foster, Victoria Dahl and Christie Ridgway. The stories are long enough to make you sizzle and get a good feel for the characters, but short enough that you can read them in a day. Turn up the Heat first features Lori Foster’s Love Won’t Wait, and wow, Brick and Merrily are both hot! They are also very likable and fun characters that I would love to read more about. Merrily has just moved to town, and she has some things in her past that […]

Review: Face Time (Love in the Digital Age #1) – S.J. Pajonas

*I received a free ARC of Face Time in exchange of an honest review* Face Time is a very sweet, albeit a little improbable, contemporary romance novel. Laura and Lee meet by chance in the bar where she usually goes with friends every Thursday night, only this Thursday, she’s been stood up. Lee is only in New York for a couple of days on business, but they hit it off straight away.
