#COYER Reveiw: Waking Up Pregnant – Mira Lyn Kelly

#COYER Reveiw: Waking Up Pregnant – Mira Lyn Kelly

*I received a free ARC of Waking Up Pregnant from Harlequin KISS via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Waking Up Pregnant is kind of like a mix between a modern fairy-tale and a quirky contemporary romance, and it is fun, sweet, hot and romantic packed in a neat wrapping. The characters are really well fleshed out, too, and as Darcy and Jeff fall in love, they are both hiding their true feelings – from themselves and each other. Starting in the middle of the story, Waking Up Pregnant gets right into the difficulty of the subject – Darcy has come to Jeff’s office, three months after their one night together in Vegas, and before she can even say […]

#COYER Review: Once in a Lifetime (Lucky Harbor #9) – Jill Shalvis

#COYER Review: Once in a Lifetime (Lucky Harbor #9) – Jill Shalvis

*I received a free ARC of Once in a Lifetime from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* There is something so familiar and utterly satisfying about Lucky Harbor – and Once in a Lifetime hit exactly the right spot! Aubrey and Ben are both very attaching characters, I could relate to them, and I could like them – even if neither of them are perfect! Aubrey is not exactly satisfied with the way her life is going at the beginning of Once in  a Lifetime, and when she accidentally throws her drink in Ben’s face, before running away, she has an uncomfortable run-in with her ex. When she leaves, Aubrey somehow finds herself in […]

#COYER Review: All Fired Up (Hot in the Kitchen #2) – Kate Meader

#COYER Review: All Fired Up (Hot in the Kitchen #2) – Kate Meader

*I received a free ARC of All Fired Up from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Oh, WOW! All Fired Up is an awesome contemporary romance, with characters that are worth to get to know, some of them a past the readers will need tissues to read about, and some wonderful hotness. All the necessary ingredients for a great story are included in All Fired Up. There are some very hot men, some wonderful, but outwardly bitchy women, food, romance, friendship and Italian family members. Cara seems to be quite off-putting and cold to everyone around her, whereas Shane is open, smiling and warm. Nobody thinks they have anything in common – not even […]

#COYER Review: Sweet Revenge (Sin Brothers #2) – Rebecca Zanetti

#COYER Review: Sweet Revenge (Sin Brothers #2) – Rebecca Zanetti

*I received a free ARC of Sweet Revenge from Forever – Grand Central Publishing via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Sweet Revenge is an amazing romance / thriller / suspense novel. There is a little bit of everything, there is romance, of course, a serial killer, a man who thought he’d never find love nor freedom, and a woman who is trying to make amends for her past. The only reason why I didn’t give Sweet Revenge five stars is that I guessed who a culprit was very early on – however, this did not make the story less interesting. Matt has been searching for the surgeon for five years, he knows he needs to find her quickly […]

#COYER Review: Come Home to Me (Whiskey Creek #6) – Brenda Novak

#COYER Review: Come Home to Me (Whiskey Creek #6) – Brenda Novak

*I received a free ARC of Come Home to Me from Harlequin MIRA via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* As usual, any book in the Whiskey Creek series is like catching up with good friends I haven’t seen in a while. Come Home to Me is the story where Presley and Aaron are the main characters, and I was very eager to learn more about both of them, as they have both had pretty difficult childhoods, and both have also had trouble with alcohol or drugs. Turning their lives around hasn’t been easy for either of them, but Presley has had a lot of help from Wyatt, whereas Aaron has worked hard at his family’s auto-repair shop to […]

#COYER Review: Maybe Someday – Colleen Hoover

#COYER Review: Maybe Someday – Colleen Hoover

*I received a free ARC of Maybe Someday from Atria Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Maybe Someday is a beautifully written contemporary New Adult romance, and, as usual the prose and the music are big parts of the story. Sydney thinks she knows all about heartache when she finds herself outside in the rain, on her birthday, after confronting her best friend and her boyfriend about their sneaking around behind her back. I truly loved how Sydney dealt with her back-stabbing friends before she packed her bags and left. Luckily for her, Ridge from across the courtyard has one of his roommates bring her up to his apartment and lets her stay until she gets her […]

#COYER Review: Wake to Darkness (Brown and De Luca #2) – Maggie Shayne

#COYER Review: Wake to Darkness (Brown and De Luca #2) – Maggie Shayne

*I received a free ARC of Wake to Darkness from Harlequin MIRA via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Wake to Darkness picks up a few months after the ending of Sleep with the Lights On, and the readers are brought right into the action, as Mason comes to see Rachel mere seconds before she goes live on television to talk about her newest self-help book. Mason needs Rachel’s help once more, and she needs him! But she will not let him know how much he affects her even after a while apart with no contact at all. Fast paced, Wake to Darkness is still dealing with a mysterious serial killer, but this time, the killer is going after […]

Review: Because of Her – K.E. Payne

Review: Because of Her – K.E. Payne

*I received a free ARC of Because of Her from Bold Strokes Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Because of Her is a different kind of YA romance, as it involves a main character who is lesbian, and not afraid anymore because she has figured out that people who judge her are not the ones who would really be her true friends and present in her life anyway. After moving to London, she is upset with the whole world because she is far away from her girlfriend, Amy. Tabby has new friends in school, and they are very supportive of her in every way. There is also this girl she can’t help but watch from afar. Eden […]

Review: Collide (Collide #1) – Gail McHugh

Review: Collide (Collide #1) – Gail McHugh

*I received a free ARC of Collide from Atria Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Collide is a tense NA romance filled with angst and drama, while most of the tropes for the genre are present, it worked out well for this story as I still want to know more about most of the characters. Emily has been through a hard patch, losing her mom to cancer, the one person she could count on to help her and take care of her was Dillon, her boyfriend from New York. Soon after her mother’s death, Emily moves to New York from Colorado to be closer to Dillon. However, instead of moving in with him, she moves in with […]
