Review: You Own Me – Shiloh Walker

Review: You Own Me – Shiloh Walker

*I received a free ARC of You Own Me from Shiloh Walker via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* You Own Me has all the anguish and love from a distance I love in a contemporary romance novel, where the protagonists haven’t ever admitted to each other how they feel about each other. My You Own Me review: Lizzie and Decker are best friends, they have been for a long time, even during the time Decker spent in jail. You Own Me shows how deep Lizzie and Decker’s feelings towards each other are, no matter that Lizzie has a boyfriend she’s been with for the past three years. Little by little, I learned that Lizzie’s boyfriend was a true […]

Review: Hot Secrets – Lisa Renee Jones

Review: Hot Secrets – Lisa Renee Jones

*I received a free ARC of Hot Secrets from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Hot Secrets is a quick and hot read, but a little weak on the character development. My Hot Secrets review: Hot Secrets starts with Royce and Lauren meeting a party for Lauren’s father. Royce is keeping a secret from Lauren from the beginning, especially because he can feel that there is an attraction between them. Lauren’s father has hired Royce to be Lauren’s security guy, because he has received threats against her. The fact that Lauren is the assistant district attorney on a very high profile case does not make things easy for Royce at all. Lauren is confident and secure in her work, […]

Review: One Night with a Cowboy – Elizabeth Otto

Review: One Night with a Cowboy – Elizabeth Otto

*I received a free ARC of One Night with a Cowboy from Entangled: Indulgence via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Stubborn, hot cowboy… Hot, sweet city chick… One Night with a Cowboy is a reluctant romance that got me crying huge, fat tears in the end. My One Night with a Cowboy review: One Night with a Cowboy is hot, sweet and filled with both romance and heartache. And because – cowboy! – it’s also the kind of contemporary story I just love to read. I don’t know what it is about cowboys, apart from the fact that there are none in Switzerland, but I just find them hot, funny and charismatic in my books. Tucker is no […]

Review: Shadowmaster – Susan Krinard

Review: Shadowmaster – Susan Krinard

*I received a free ARC of Shadowmaster from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Shadowmaster is an exciting and well executed dystopian / paranormal story where the female lead is a dhampir who knows how to fight dirty! My Shadowmaster review: Phoenix has been part of a more or less secret government organization since she was a child. She is neither totally human, nor totally vampire, thus those around her see her as different, and maybe a threat. She has one good friend at the Aegis, though, but when she’s sent on an important mission, she has to go on her own. She needs to find Drakon in the outskirts of the city, and she has to […]

Review: The Navy SEAL’s E-Mail Order Bride – Cora Seton

Review: The Navy SEAL’s E-Mail Order Bride – Cora Seton

*I received a free ARC of The Navy SEAL’s E-Mail Order Bride from One Acre Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Navy SEAL’s E-Mail Order Bride is a modern-day romance, in which family pressure makes Mason realize he needs to get married, and fast. Humorous, romantic and cute – I enjoyed reading the story, and getting to know Mason and Reagan. My The Navy SEAL’s E-Mail Order Bride review: Mason is never one to back down from a challenge, even while in Afghanistan, he starts looking for a wife both for himself and for his three brothers. It’s the only way for them to keep the family ranch. And they all get a lot of responses […]

Review: Then Came You – Jill Shalvis

Review: Then Came You – Jill Shalvis

*I received a free ARC of Then Came You from Penguin Group Berkley via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Then Came You hit exactly the right spot, a perfect balance of romance, friendship, hotness and cute animals – I loved how this story unfolded from start to finish. My Then Came You review: Then Came You has everything I look for in a contemporary romance story: likable characters, something that makes one of them think their relationship won’t or shouldn’t work, some very hot romantic tension and a great story where I want to go back and read all of the prior Animal Magnetism stories that came before it. There is, of course, also an underlying humor following […]

Blogtour Review: Division Zero (Division Zero #1) – Matthew S. Cox

Blogtour Review: Division Zero (Division Zero #1) – Matthew S. Cox

*I received a free ARC of Division Zero from Xpresso Booktours in exchange of an honest review* Welcome to my stop on the Blogtour for Divison Zero! I am sharing my review, some of my favorite quotes, and there’s also a giveaway! Don’t be too shy to enter 🙂 My Division Zero review: Division Zero is totally my kind  of Sci-Fi! There is a very strong female protagonist, she has been through hell but survived anyway. Her mom was her worst opponent up until now, as she tried to beat the devil out of Kirsten because of her gift. The fact that her gift is being able to see and talk to ghosts in no way excused the mother’s treatment […]

Review: Waiting On You – Kristan Higgins

Colleen is the town’s match-maker, and she is very good at it. However, she really would like to match someone awesome up for herself for a change.

Review: Written in my Own Heart’s Blood – Diana Gabaldon

Review: Written in my Own Heart’s Blood – Diana Gabaldon

Written in my Own Heart’s Blood is the 8th book in the Outlander series, and I, for one had been waiting impatiently for quite a while to finally get to read this installment. For once, though, I wasn’t completely swept off my feet, and as I start writing this review, I don’t even know how I am going to rate it yet. My Written in my Own Heart’s Blood Review: Written in my Own Heart’s Blood has several story lines, which is no problem for the fans who have been following the series from the start. We follow Jamie and Clare, of course, and we also follow Brianna and her kids, Roger and Buck, Fergus, Ian and Rachel, Lord John […]
