Review: Three of Hearts – Kelly Jamieson

Review: Three of Hearts – Kelly Jamieson

Hotter than hot, three musicians finally act on the feelings they have for each other in Three of Hearts. My Three of Hearts review: Between Haylee, Ben and Lucas, there has always been a kind of tension, but Haylee has always brushed it off as a strong friendship and a common love for their music. At the beginning of Three of Hearts, when Haylee found out that her boyfriend was cheating on her, she thought she wasn’t going to be able to go through with their last concert, but Ben and Lucas managed to get her to be angry rather than sad, and it was their best concert ever. After the concert, she drinks a little too much, but not […]

Blogtour Review: Rough Justice – Sarah Castille

Blogtour Review: Rough Justice – Sarah Castille

Welcome to my stop on the Rough Justice blogtour. I have my review, my favorite quotes as well as a giveaway to share with you today. This tour is hosted by Xpresso Book Tours, and you can find the other blogs that are participating if you click the banner above. My Rough Justice review: Rough Justice is a tough story with a hard-ass MC president, and a very capable and kick-ass biker who wishes she was far, far away from bikers, the politics and the honor system of a club.  The story is really good, filled with excitement, violence, hot moments, and two protagonists who don’t want to have feelings for each other. Both Jagger and Arianne are excellent characters, […]

Review: Flirting with Disaster – Victoria Dahl

Review: Flirting with Disaster – Victoria Dahl

Sexy and hot, Flirting with Disaster has some great characters, mystery and a lot of romance. My Flirting with Disaster review: Flirting with Disaster incorporated everything I love in a contemporary romance novel! Dahl truly outdid herself with this story. The characters are mature, Isabelle is thirty-six years old, and Tom is a little older than her. Isabelle’s best friend Jill is lesbian, and it’s only mentioned because Jill and her girlfriend had recently broken up. Safe sex is very sexy in Flirting with Disaster, and that always makes me so very happy, condoms, are important and it is sexy to take good care of yourself and your partner! There is also mystery, Isabelle is living under an assumed name, […]

Review: In Too Deep – Kathryn Shay

Review: In Too Deep – Kathryn Shay

In Too Deep is short and to the point, with romance, hotness, firefighters and a good enough story. My In Too Deep review: If you are able to keep up with the suspension of disbelief, In Too Deep might work even better for you than it did for me. The story is quite good, and the characters are definitely enchanting enough, there is also an outside plot, which sadly wasn’t fully developed. Rachel and Gabe have been in love with each other for a while, but they have been keeping their distance for several reasons. First of all he’s the boss, and as firefighters, they need to be able to keep their heads cool in all the dangerous situations they get […]

Review: Closure – John Lescroart and M.J. Rose

Review: Closure – John Lescroart and M.J. Rose

Closure is a very short story, like an introduction to a new author, if you will. My Closure mini-review Closure is not exactly the most unexpected story I have ever read, but for the twenty-five pages it lasted, I was definitely into Lucy and what she was up to. From the way she made her therapist nervous, to the way she worked to find the painter she had so admired when she was a child. Written in first person past tense, from the unnamed therapist’s point of view, I got a good sense of Lucy, as well as  Frank Millay, and the flow was nicely done.  For the parts of the story when the therapist wasn’t present, the third person […]

Review: Hard Knocks – Lori Foster

Review: Hard Knocks – Lori Foster

Hard Knocks features Gage and Harper, as well as several other characters that are part of Foster’s Ultimate universe. Short and very hot, it hit the right spot! My Hard Knocks review: Capturing the tension between Gage and Harper from the first line, Hard Knocks is a sweet introduction to the Ultimate series. If you’re wondering what series that is, you can check out my review of No Limits. The universe is that of MMA fighting, and the characters are very well done, some of them I already knew from the  Love Undercover series, which is also truly excellent! Hard Knocks is short, but still manages to bring out the main characteristics of Gage and Harper, both through the way […]

Audioreview: Ugly Love – Colleen Hoover

Audioreview: Ugly Love – Colleen Hoover

Listening to Ugly Love made the story somehow feel closer to me, the characters were literally telling me their story. My Ugly Love audioreview: The narration was so good, I really felt like I was listening to Miles and Tate throughout Ugly Love, and that was both very good, and sometimes a little strange. When I read my kindle version of Ugly Love, I cried so much, and so ugly in many places. And I actually enjoyed the story more when I read it myself, even if I really did enjoy listening to the audio version as well. For one, listening to Miles go on and on about Rachel, from the very first time they met made him seem a […]

Review: Never Never – Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher

Review: Never Never – Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher

A different kind of paranormal story, Never Never has both of the MCs being amnesic at the beginning, and as they slowly unravel their pasts, things get complicated. My Never Never review: Charlie and Silas share a common story, but they aren’t really aware of it in Never Never. From the start of the story, the confusion and the memory lapse are at the forefront, and I really enjoyed the fact that Charlie and Silas each had their own chapters – it helped getting to know them, even if they didn’t really know themselves. Mysterious and poignant, the story felt like a reboot, in a way. Where the characters sat down and thought carefully about their past and future choices; […]

Review: Garrett – Sawyer Bennett

Review: Garrett – Sawyer Bennett

Garrett is a very hot read, but there is a lot more going on than Garrett and Olivia. Between the hockey-games, the romance and Olivia’s secret, it was quite a ride! My Garrett review: In Alex (Cold Fury Hockey #1) Garrett was known as Alex’ best friend, the guy who was always flirting, changing girls every time he went out, and never becoming serious with anybody. When he first met Olivia, however, he was completely mesmerized by her, and even more so because she bluntly turned him down, after laughing at his dirty jokes. When Sutton told him to stay away from his cousin because she had enough stuff going on in her life, he only became more interested in […]

Review: More than Friends – Aria Grace

Review: More than Friends – Aria Grace

More than Friends is a short story, in which Ryan figures out he might like guys a lot more than he previously thought. My More than Friends review: More than Friends is quite well written, but I had a little trouble with Ryan’s complete turn-about that happened so quickly. At the beginning of the story, he’s a little sad because he and his girlfriend Brooke broke up, so he kind of hooks up with a girl in a bar, and comes with her to her cousin’s, Zach, place. He falls asleep on the coach, while she goes into a bedroom all alone. The next day, he is invited back to Zach’s for a party, and he is a little uneasy […]
