Review: Too Hot to Handle – Katie Rose

Review: Too Hot to Handle – Katie Rose

Too Hot to Handle was a great read, especially because Nikki got pranked just as much as the players did, and Jake just couldn’t stay away from her. My Too Hot to Handle review: Too Hot to Handle gave a little more character growth and insight to the various guys playing baseball. Jake intrigued me in Bring on the Heat, because while he was a good looking guy, I thought he was definite trouble. And boy, was he! Not the way I thought – but still! Nikki was brought on board with the New Jersey Sonics to save the team’s public image, and the players plus the on-staff marketing guy did everything they could to make life difficult for her. […]

Review: Immersed – Katie Hayoz

Review: Immersed – Katie Hayoz

Immersed is a tightly written steam-punk novella with intriguing and compelling characters, as well as mysterious mythology where all I want is to know more! My Immersed review: Both Melusine and Levi are strong characters, who have known of each other for years, being competitors when it comes to killing monsters for quite a while. Immersed is set in Chicago, during the time when buildings were made higher in order to make them stay overground. There are wonderful steel-creatures as well as horrible monsters, and Melusine is far from what could be called a lady at the time. Dressed in leather corsets, and always wearing weapons, she is attuned to the monsters around her in an uncanny way. And just […]

Review: The Secret Sister – Brenda Novak

Review: The Secret Sister – Brenda Novak

The Secret Sister is simply fabulous! The mystery unfolds slowly, and the characters are very complex, and Josephine is the kind of mother I’m so happy I didn’t have growing up – and even later. My The Secret Sister review: Maisey had never wanted to go back to Fairham Island ever. And especially not to live there, close to her autocratic mother and her broken drug-abusing brother. However, after a nasty divorce she needed a change of scenery, as well as a place where she could stay for while to lick her wounds until writing and illustrating her children’s books became something she felt capable to do again. The Secret Sister has a very melancholy tone, and there are so […]

Review: The Devil Takes a Bride – Julia London

Review: The Devil Takes a Bride – Julia London

The Devil Takes a Bride is a fun and hot story about a strong-willed woman and a seemingly ice-cold man who find themselves married to avoid scandal… My The Devil Takes a Bride review: The Devil Takes a Bride was a really nice surprise – both because it’s the second book in a series, and that really didn’t matter in order to understand the story, the plot and the characters, and also because it was quite different from what I expected when I started reading. Grace seemed to be a very sensible society girl, even if she did the best she could to flirt a little bit, dance a lot, but not get any proposals. Grace had met Geoffrey only […]

Review: Forever Grace – Linda Poitevin

Review: Forever Grace – Linda Poitevin

I needed quite a bit of tissues while reading Forever Grace, because while this is a romance, it was also filled with sadness and fear. Beautifully written, with strong characters, it will stay with me a while. My Forever Grace review: Forever Grace is set in the same universe as Gwynne Ever After, and there are some short appearances of the characters that inhabited that story. A part from them, there are only a few characters present during most of the story, Grace and her three nieces and nephews, and Sean. At the beginning of the story, it was clear that both Grace and the children were afraid, and their fear didn’t have anything to do with being in a […]

Review: Bring on the Heat – Katie Rose

Review: Bring on the Heat – Katie Rose

Bring on the Heat is a sweet romance, in which the suspension of disbelief is definitely needed. I enjoyed Darcy a lot, and Chase was a good character as well. My Bring on the Heat review: Darcy’s predicament started out innocent enough in Bring on the Heat, when the rich socialite she is house-sitting for gives her tickets to a charity event where her favorite baseball team will be in attendance. From the very start, Bring on the Heat had me think what was going on was not very likely. Especially when Darcy went to the hair-salon where Lydia usually got her hair done, and after some highlights and extensions – voilà! she looked just like Lydia. So much so […]

Review: Tough Love – Lori Foster

Review: Tough Love – Lori Foster

Hot, fun and with different kind of mystery playing out in the background, Tough Love really worked for me!! My Tough Love review: It’s no secret that I’m a huge Lori Foster fan, and that her Ultimate series is one I love very much. Tough Love is yet another fantastic installment in this series, where the hard, strong MMA fighters find their match in the woman they eventually learn to love. Stubborn characters, sizzling hot chemistry, strong friendships and family ties that won’t break no matter what, this story just had it all. Vanity entered the series when Yvette moved back, and several of the fighters noticed her from the get-go. She only ever wanted on man, though, and that […]

Review: Rapture – J.R. Ward

Review: Rapture – J.R. Ward

Rapture showed a different side of Jim Heron, and it had some interesting developments when it came to the sides of ‘good’ and ‘bad’, as well as a character I didn’t think we’d ever see again. My Rapture review: There are a lot of things happening in Rapture that I can’t really mention in my review for fear of spoiling things! There is a mystery soul Jim and Adrian need to try and save, and this is the main plot and story-line. There are two interesting sub-plots as well, on involving Devina and her vile ways of trying to distract Jim from finding the right soul and doing what is needed to get that soul for ‘the good side’. The […]

Review: Tempt the Stars – Karen Chance

Review: Tempt the Stars – Karen Chance

Tempt the Stars blew me away! I don’t think I can wait another second to pick up the next book in the Cassie Palmer series, because holy cliffhanger, Batman!! My Tempt the Stars review: Cassie definitely had her work cut out for her in this fast-paced adventure! Tempt the Stars was filled with intrigue and action, and for many things, Cassie was still kept in the dark about her powers, the fact that there were more people out there both looking out for her, and doing what they could to stop her. The vampires kept her thinking she was safe with them, especially Mircea, even if he didn’t actually show up for real in this installment. Pirkin gone, she had […]

Review: In the Fast Lane – Audra North

Review: In the Fast Lane – Audra North

In the Fast Lane is definitely a very hot romance, and having the heroine being a race-car drive just made her all the more interesting. My In the Fast Lane review: This story almost started with a bang, but Kerri was a good enough driver to avoid the worst, and save both her car, herself, and the crazy guy running across the track during a trial run. Just after stopping her car, a new voice comes over her comm and she learns that Ranger Colt has bought most of her family’s business that has to do with the race team. Upset is too tame a word, because Kerri is a fire-cracker of a woman, and that is one of the […]
