Review: How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy – Vanessa Kelly

Review: How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy – Vanessa Kelly

Fun, mysterious and very hot, How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy continues in the same vein as the other books in this series. I was a little annoyed with Evie at times, though, she didn’t really think things through. My How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy review: The beginning of How to Plan a Wedding… was pretty emotional, because Will was at the end of the battle in Waterloo, seeing all the dead soldiers from both sides of the war. He quickly became happy to be back in England, though, and even planned to give his notice as a spy for the crown. His Duke of a father had other plans, though, because one […]

Review: Archangel’s Shadows – Nalini Singh

Review: Archangel’s Shadows – Nalini Singh

Archangel’s Shadows is a very good instalment in the Guild Hunter series, I really enjoyed that while the main focus was on Ash and Janvier, other characters were involved and got quite a bit of ‘screen-time’ as well. My Archangel’s Shadows review: I’m not sure who I loved the most in Archangel’s Shadows, Ash or Janvier. Ash is a strong woman, a hunter who knows how to fight, how to be cunning, and how to keep a sexy vampire at arm’s length. Janvier with his sexy Cajun French, his strong feelings for Ash and all his skills isn’t half bad, either. And because Ash is adamant to not fall for Janvier – even though she may have already fallen – […]

Review: Can’t Resist a Cowboy – Elizabeth Otto

Review: Can’t Resist a Cowboy – Elizabeth Otto

Can’t Resist a Cowboy is a sweet and hot story, with characters who are extremely stubborn. Also nice to see the characters from the prior Paint River Ranch books. My Can’t Resist a Cowboy review: I really enjoyed Carrie Lynn and Levi in Can’t Resist a Cowboy, especially because they had been dating before Levi left for the army, and they had a lot of unresolved feelings and issues to deal with. As it became clear that Levi hadn’t completely made the choice to leave Carrie Lynn, my heart ached for both of them. It was also interesting that Carrie Lynn had some health issues, and her father had used these in the past to make sure she would go […]

Review: With a Twist – Sawyer Bennett

Review: With a Twist – Sawyer Bennett

With a Twist follows Wyatt on an undercover assignment, and the work is really difficult! Andrea, the hot FBI agent both makes Wyatt’s work harder and easier, as she is set up to be the next woman to disappear from the club where they are trying to dismantle an illegal operation. Again, some editing issues – but not enough to snap me out of the story. My With a Twist review: Wyatt was the cop friend on the sidelines in the other books in the Last Call series, and he definitely needed his own story! With a Twist definitely has some twists and turns, as Wyatt went undercover in a club where there were suspicions of human trafficking. At the […]

Review: Unwritten – Chelsea Cameron

Review: Unwritten – Chelsea Cameron

Unwritten is a fun, quirky and romantic story – featuring a duo of writers using a pen-name so nobody can figure out they’re behind the smutty books that are selling so well. My Unwritten review: I’m not sure what part of Unwritten I enjoyed the most! The humor definitely got to me in a big way, but so did the library, the sexy single dad, the friendship between Raine and Blair, the writing, the excellent use of the English language… See what I mean? The characters are a big plus in and of themselves, and their interactions were always believable, even when they were slightly over the top. I loved both the main story, and the little side-stories that took […]

Review: Samson’s Lovely Mortal – Tina Folsom

Review: Samson’s Lovely Mortal – Tina Folsom

Samson’s Lovely Mortal is a nice mix of UF, paranormal / vampire love story and mystery. I enjoyed Samson and Aumory a lot, Delilah grew on me. My Samson’s Lovely Mortal review: I have had Samson’s Lovely Mortal on my kindle for a very long time, hidden among other gems I got for free when I first started figuring out there were many other genres out there than I was used to reading. While I have now read quite a few paranormal / urban fantasy love stories, in which vampires and humans kind of intermingle, often without the humans knowledge of everything that is ‘other’, this was quite new for me at the time I picked up this story. While […]

Review: Forgotten Sins – Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Forgotten Sins – Rebecca Zanetti

Oh wow! I finally got to read the first Sin Brothers story – after having already read all the others, and I was still surprised by all the twists and turns. And Shane is totally hot!! My Forgotten Sins review: Forgotten Sins explains the back-story for the Dean brothers a little, but I hadn’t really missed that much starting reading the series with book number two. However, I had completely missed Shane’s book, and his story was mostly an enigma to me. I’m happy to say I loved every word of it, both he and Josie were great characters, and for once, I even enjoyed that one of the characters started the story having amnesia! It made the story move […]

Review: Still the One – Jill Shalvis

Review: Still the One – Jill Shalvis

Still the One has the romance, the struggle, the humor and the sweetness down pat. My Still the One review: Still the One features two great characters, some amazing dogs, and quite a struggle for both Darcy and AJ. Darcy usually traveled the world to write articles for a geography magazine, up until her horrible car accident, after which some doctors said she might never walk again. Stubborn as ever, though, Darcy did her physiotherapy, and AJ helped the best he could, and after a long time Darcy was able to walk once more – first using a cane, and then on her own. During her struggle to get back on her feet, she stayed with her siblings in the […]

Review: Coming Home – Annabel Kantaria

Review: Coming Home – Annabel Kantaria

Coming Home is definitely a very different kind of contemporary story, what with the betrayal, the secrets and the lies. My Coming Home review: Coming Home started out innocuous enough, with Evie leaving Dubai to go back to London to help her mother after her father’s sudden death. Funeral arrangements, bank statements, insurance papers and more needed to be taken care of, and Evie was quite happy to help. Evie’s mom was pretty cold, though, and little by little, the readers learned at least part of the reasons why. Because Coming Home is so filled with secrets and lies, it’s a little difficult to write a full review without spoiling anything, but I promise I will be very vague! Evie […]

Review: Night Broken – Patricia Briggs

Review: Night Broken – Patricia Briggs

Night Broken is fast-paced and filled with action, fights and romance, on top of that, there’s a little drama because Adam’s ex comes to stay with them – for once seeking help and comfort from the pack. My Night Broken review: Night Broken was pretty intense, and there was a new creature introduced in the Mercy Thompson universe here. I have to admit I was rolling my eyes at Adam’s ex acting all innocent and needy, and even more so because of all she had made the pack go through when she had decided living with shifters wasn’t for her, then left both Adam and her daughter behind. Once danger came knocking on Christy’s door, though, she definitely didn’t have […]
