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

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. They go out for dinner on the next evening, and after sharing the hottest of first kisses ever, they say goodbye after having exchanged all important information. The way they stay in touch is by text messages and face time, and even with Lee in South Korea and […]

Review: The Wicked Widow Meets her Match (Regency Rogues #6) – Stefanie Sloane

Review: The Wicked Widow Meets her Match (Regency Rogues #6) – Stefanie Sloane

*I received a free ARC of The Wicked Widow Meets her Match from Ballantine Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* The Wicked Widow Meets her Match is a delightful historical romance that dares to bend the gender roles, where true love is hard to believe, and a horrible band of criminals has to be fought and dismantled! Grace is a close to perfect historical romance heroine, because she is strong, resilient and intelligent. And while her life has been very hard, she has not hardened her heart in protection. Being married off to a horrible man to whom her father lost her in a card game, Grace had all possible reasons to be hard, so seeing a […]

Review: The Immortal Crown (Age of X #2) – Richelle Mead

Review: The Immortal Crown (Age of X #2) – Richelle Mead

*I received a free ARC of The Immortal Crown from Dutton Adult in exchange of an honest review* The Immortal Crown lets the readers know Mae a lot better, and seeing how different Gods are wooing her makes her seem more human, in a way, and more likable. Therefore, the story here is much better than Gameboard of the Gods in my opinion, and there are several reasons for this. One reason is that the world makes more sense in The Immortal Crown, and since Age of X is set in an epic fantasy world, it is easy to understand why the second book makes more sense. I also enjoyed Mae and Justin both more in The Immortal Crown than […]

Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

Review: All Night Long (Black Halo #1) – Madelynne Ellis

*I received a free ARC of All Night Long from Harper Collins via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* All Night Long is a scorching hot read, filled with lots of sex between a hard rock star and one of his fans. There are even some scenes where some of the band-mates kind of join in the fun a little bit. There isn’t all that much going on apart from the hot sex, but that’s quite OK, as I totally got that from the summary. Ginny only wants to let loose for one night, and who better than a guy who’s in a band? He’s totally used to groupies, and won’t be looking for anything more than sex – […]

Review: The Undead Pool (The Hollows #12) – Kim Harrison

Review: The Undead Pool (The Hollows #12) – Kim Harrison

The Undead Pool is a great story, in which Rachel has even more magic than usual, and where she might have to stay far away from the demons while she takes care of a huge problem in Cincinnati and The Hollows. It all starts when magic misfires happen throughout Cincinnati, and Rachel happens to be where things go wrong twice in the same day. The Undead Pool starts about three months after the ending of Ever After, so it seems things have been slowing down for her a little bit, but that is not at all the case anymore once this story gets going. Then, it appears that the master vampires aren’t waking up at night, and there’s a lot […]

Taken with You (The Kowalskis #8) – Shannon Stacey

Taken with You (The Kowalskis #8) – Shannon Stacey

*I received a free ARC of Taken with You from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Taken with You is set in Whitford, like other Kowalski books, but this time, those hunky and hard-bodied Kowalski boys aren’t among the main characters. Matt is an awesome male lead, though, even if he does jump to conclusions a little quickly sometimes, and Hailey really needed some hot romance in her life. She’s lived in Whitfield for most of her life, and she would love to stay, but there are no interesting men there. Also, she really wants to have a family, and she can practically hear her own biological clock ticking away. There is a lot of humor […]

As she tries to figure out what has happened to the rift she made in reality when she traveled the ley-lines to save her favorite demon. Rachel and Al look at the rift from both realities, and Al is so incapacitated he has to stay in deep sleep for a while. And without knowing who she could possible turn to, Rachel again turns to Trent – because he also has a bone to pick with a certain crazy and not completely natural demon who has been trying to trip both of them […]
