Review: Ticket Home (Strangers on a Train) – Serena Bell

Review: Ticket Home (Strangers on a Train) – Serena Bell

Ticket Home is the fifth book in the Strangers on a Train series. Of course, these books do not have to be read in any particular order, but Ticket Home is the last one I read. Unfortunately, it is also my least favorite in the series. The playfulness and the amazing sexual tension I felt in the other stories was not as present here. I think one of the reasons why is that Amy and Jeff aren’t exactly strangers – and so the whole strangers on a train thing cannot really apply to them. And instead of sexy romance, there is a lot of anger between them, because even if Amy is still attracted to him, she is not over […]

Review: What the Duke Desires (The Duke’s Men #1) – Sabrina Jeffries

Review: What the Duke Desires (The Duke’s Men #1) – Sabrina Jeffries

*I received a free ARC of What the Duke Desires from Pocket Book via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* What the Duke Desires has everything I look for in a historical romance! A strong female lead, a handsome and slightly rogue Duke. A mystery. Hot romance. Steamy bedroom-scenes. Yes, all the boxes are checked to my immense reading pleasure. The writing is really good as well, I feel like I actually got to know Lisette and Maximillian, Dom and Tristan. And the plot was well done, and made the mystery just too mysterious for me to figure it out! I love reading historical romances, the way the characters act and speak is so different from today, and What […]

Review: Home to Whiskey Creek (Whiskey Creek #4) – Brenda Novak

Review: Home to Whiskey Creek (Whiskey Creek #4) – Brenda Novak

*I received a free ARC of Home to Whiskey Creek from Harelquin MIRA via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Home to Whiskey Creek deals with a heavier subject matter than the prior books in the series, and they weren’t all light and fluffy either! Adelaide can’t forget the graduation party that destroyed her faith in guys, and changed her life forever. Even by staying away from Whiskey Creek for thirteen years, she is weary being back – with good reason. Noah is out mountain biking when he hears a shout for help from the old mine. If there’s one place he wants to stay far away from, it’s the mine, where his brother died thirteen years ago in […]

Review: Heart of Obsidian (Psy-Changeling #12) – Nalini Singh

Review: Heart of Obsidian (Psy-Changeling #12) – Nalini Singh

Heart of Obsidian may just be my favorite book in the Psy-Changeling series. I loved learning more about Kaleb, and Sahara was totally awesome as well. The overall plot of the series moved along very nicely as well, and we even found out who the Ghost is! The intricate relationships between some of the psy and the changeling packs, as well as the war with pure-psy continued, and there were quite a few things that caught me completely off guard. Heart of Obsidian starts really strong! With Kaleb kidnapping a woman out of a high security place, and for once, he actually brings someone to his home outside of Moscow. It is unclear at first why he takes the woman, […]

Review: Cowboy Come Home – Eve Gaddy

*I received a free ARC of Cowboy Come Home from Belle Bridge Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Cowboy Come Home is a sweet contemporary romance filled with complications for the two protagonists, Jake Rollins and Anna Connor. They were childhood sweethearts, and had been all set to get married when Jake left town to become a professional in the rodeo circuit.

Blogtour Review: Gravity (Mageri #4) – Dannika Dark

Blogtour Review: Gravity (Mageri #4) – Dannika Dark

Blogtour, Review and Giveaway! *I received a free ARC of Gravity from Enchantress of Books Blogtour in exchange of an honest review * In Gravity, Silver has to make some tough decisions in order to make sure the people she loves will stay safe. And she is ready to walk the walk! I have to admit I was a little frustrated with Silver because she did what her blackmailer told her to so very easily. While I can understand why she did it, I would have loved to be surprised by Silver – in that she told someone close to her what was up, so she could spare herself and others some heart-ache. Of course, there was a lot of […]

Review: Head over Heels – Cindy Procter-King

Review: Head over Heels – Cindy Procter-King

*I received a free ARC of Head over Heels from Amber Quill Press LLC via Netgalley in exhcange of an honest review* Head over Heels is a contemporary romance, featuring Magee (whose name we’re told how to pronounce several times…) and Justin. The story starts with Justin’s girlfriend Tina breaking up with him, because she wants marriage, babies and the whole package after dating him for six months. As Tina and Justin had talked about what they wanted from this relationship when they met, Justin is completely taken aback, because he had been very open about building his business first, and not marrying for several years. However, the weekend following the break-up he’s meeting with some very important potential clients, […]

Review: Lust for Life (WVMP Radio #4) – Jeri Smith-Ready

Review: Lust for Life (WVMP Radio #4) – Jeri Smith-Ready

Lust for Life is the fourth and last installment in the WVMP Radio series. I kept it unopened on my kindle for a very long time, because this is another series I just don’t want to end! The ending, however is absolutely perfect! There is still mystery, surprises, love, friendship, loyalty, courage and romance. Lust for Life is really action-packed, but there are still some tender moments between Ciara and Shane. They are both still training with Control, even if they don’t like having to do that at all. Jim is in retirement after he tried to kill Ciara, and strange things are happening at their favorite bar. The story starts with a huge bang! There’s an anonymous bomb threat […]

Review: The Other Side of Us – Sarah Mayberry

Review: The Other Side of Us – Sarah Mayberry

When I picked up The Other Side of Us for free on amazon, I thought I’d get a light, slick romance. Something hot that would just take a couple of hours to read, then be forgotten… What I got was a profound story about two broken characters, a beautiful narrative about hope, fighting for your life, and love. I fell in love with both Oliver and MacKenzie, they were both trying to patch their lives back together, and their first meeting really didn’t go well. However, they were both willing to look past that first meeting, and when they started to get to know each other they realized that having someone they could share their doubts and dreams with was […]

Review: Tight Quarters (Strangers on a Train) – Samantha Hunter

Review: Tight Quarters (Strangers on a Train) – Samantha Hunter

Tight Quarters is the fourth story I have read in the Strangers on a Train series by different authors. It is quite different from the other books in this series, because the characters, Reid and Brenna, both have something difficult to deal with. Brenna has difficulties just boarding the train, and when Reid follows her all the way to her berth, she almost flips out. She uses her key to open the door, then close it behind her. When Reid then proceeds to open the door with his own key, she hides in a corner, and has no idea what to do. For just one person, the berth has more than enough room, but put a bulky ex-cop in there […]
