Review: In Your Dreams – Kristan Higgins

Review: In Your Dreams – Kristan Higgins

  Beautiful love story, tender and a little tentative, In Your Dreams brought out a lot of feels. My In Your Dreams review: Both funny and very tender, In Your Dreams is a very nicely done contemporary romance that made me feel things all over the place regarding Emmaline. Her childhood was really weird, especially because her parents adopted a ten-year-old girl when Emmaline moved to her grand-ma at fourteen. Both her parents were child-psychologists so they really should have known better, too. In Blue Heron, she found a sense of belonging she had never had in Malibu, and when her fiancé broke off their engagement only two months before their wedding, she went back there to live in the […]

Review: Under His Protection – Katie Reus

Review: Under His Protection – Katie Reus

  Deliciously hot, Under His Protection is a quick read, with some really good characters, suspense and romance. My Under His Protection review: Even if Under His Protection is the 9th book in the Red Stone Securities series, it can be read as a stand-alone, it will not take anything away from either the story, the romance or the suspense for readers who are not familiar with the series already. I love how well both the romance and the suspense parts were done, and even if there are only 175 pages, I got to know both Ivan and Julieta well. It was obvious that Julieta has a lot of good friends, as well as a loving family. However, for a […]

Review: Innocent Prey – Maggie Shayne

Review: Innocent Prey – Maggie Shayne

  Another exciting, fast-paced and awesome installment in the Brown and DeLuca series – with a very nice side-dish of romance. My Innocent Prey review: WOW, let me just gather my thoughts a little bit, because Innocent Prey really took me for quite a ride! Rachel is getting more in tune with both her own self-help philosophy and her inner bitch, and that was a lot of fun to read about. She also managed to get involved in yet another investigation, while also having a little time to hang out with Mason outside of work as well. One of the things I really enjoyed about the mystery in Innocent Prey was the hush-hush around Stevie’s disappearance, plus the fact that […]

Blogtour and Review: Outing the Quarterback – Tara Lain

Blogtour and Review: Outing the Quarterback – Tara Lain

Welcome to my stop on the Outing the Quarteback blogtour! This tour is hosted by Enchantress of Books Blogtours, and you can find the other tour-stops by clicking on the image above. My first reaction after reading this amazing story was just WOW, oh my goodness! Tara Lain has totally outdone herself – I loved Will and Noah, and Jamal and Eve were great characters, too. My Outing the Quarterback review: Secrecy, hurt and heartache are very much present in Outing the Quarterback. Will wants to be able to keep it together for just one more year until he finishes high-school, then he’ll go off and live his own dreams rather than his dad’s. Being the star quarterback, and dating […]

Review: The Devil in Denim – Melanie Scott

Review: The Devil in Denim – Melanie Scott

Fun, hot, filled with intrigue and complications, The Devil in Denim is a sporty contemporary romance with some awesome characters. My The Devil in Denim review: I fell in love with Alex from the moment he first showed up in the bar where Maggie was trying to drown all her sorrows in tequila. Even if he was the cause of her anger and heartache, his reaction to everything she threw at him was so great, I just swooned and almost let my kindle slip out from between my hands. Maggie had just had the day from hell, and it truly didn’t help her when Alex showed up while she was trying to get rid of every single memory of that […]

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: 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 […]
