Review: Conflicted – Helena Newbury

Review: Conflicted – Helena Newbury

Conflicted is fast-paced, twisted and filled with both tension, hope and regret. My Conflicted review: Oh wow! Things definitely sped up in Conflicted, and after the wild ride of Seduced, I should have expected just that! Between the very hot sex, having to make sure she kept her secrets, and Luka showing her some vulnerability, Arianna sure had her work cut out for her! It seemed as if pretending she didn’t speak or understand Russian was the most difficult part of her job in this instalment. While I really enjoyed the story, and also the character development in Conflicted, it became more obvious that it’s very strange that Arianna was chosen for this kind of operation. She had no field […]

Review: Unwritten – Chelsea Cameron

Review: Unwritten – Chelsea Cameron

Unwritten is a fun, quirky and romantic story – featuring a duo of writers using a pen-name so nobody can figure out they’re behind the smutty books that are selling so well. My Unwritten review: I’m not sure what part of Unwritten I enjoyed the most! The humor definitely got to me in a big way, but so did the library, the sexy single dad, the friendship between Raine and Blair, the writing, the excellent use of the English language… See what I mean? The characters are a big plus in and of themselves, and their interactions were always believable, even when they were slightly over the top. I loved both the main story, and the little side-stories that took […]

Review: Forgotten Sins – Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Forgotten Sins – Rebecca Zanetti

Oh wow! I finally got to read the first Sin Brothers story – after having already read all the others, and I was still surprised by all the twists and turns. And Shane is totally hot!! My Forgotten Sins review: Forgotten Sins explains the back-story for the Dean brothers a little, but I hadn’t really missed that much starting reading the series with book number two. However, I had completely missed Shane’s book, and his story was mostly an enigma to me. I’m happy to say I loved every word of it, both he and Josie were great characters, and for once, I even enjoyed that one of the characters started the story having amnesia! It made the story move […]

Review: Still the One – Jill Shalvis

Review: Still the One – Jill Shalvis

Still the One has the romance, the struggle, the humor and the sweetness down pat. My Still the One review: Still the One features two great characters, some amazing dogs, and quite a struggle for both Darcy and AJ. Darcy usually traveled the world to write articles for a geography magazine, up until her horrible car accident, after which some doctors said she might never walk again. Stubborn as ever, though, Darcy did her physiotherapy, and AJ helped the best he could, and after a long time Darcy was able to walk once more – first using a cane, and then on her own. During her struggle to get back on her feet, she stayed with her siblings in the […]

Review: Seduced – Helena Newbury

Review: Seduced – Helena Newbury

Seduced is a hot little number, with a geeky CIA agent and a charismatic but dangerous Russian arms-dealer. My Seduced review: Thanks to her great knowledge of Russian, Arianna was hired by the CIA straight out of college, and now she spends her days listening to bugged phone conversations made by various criminals that are in the CIA’s sight. Seduced did seduce me, Arianna is the geeky, quiet character who really wants more in life. Still struggling with flash-backs and nightmares after an accident two years prior, she lives with one of her co-workers, and spends all her time at work, or cooking. Luka is a dangerous Russian arms-dealer, and most of his phone conversations are crude phone sex with […]

Review: Meet Me in the Dark – J.A. Huss

Review: Meet Me in the Dark – J.A. Huss

Dark is only the beginning when it comes to Meet me in the Dark! Merc is even more twisted that I thought he was, and Sydney is so confused, broken and out of it she amazed me when she was able to show me she truly did have a backbone after all. My Meet Me in the Dark review: Book hangover V2.0 is what Meet Me in the Dark has given me! There are just so many things happening, and the twists and turns and psychological war Merc has going with Sydney is so above anything I’ve ever read I’m still reeling. And my feels, my poor, poor feels! From disgust to happiness, fear to elation, hope to desolation – […]

Review: Cursed by Ice – Jacquelyn Frank

Review: Cursed by Ice – Jacquelyn Frank

Cursed by Ice is better than Cursed by Fire, but it still didn’t totally make me weak in the knees. My Cursed by Ice review: In Cursed by Ice, I got to know the second of the immortal brothers, Garreth, who still freezes every evening at dusk until the beginning of dawn. With his brother Deathan, he is fighting to overtake a new city, and turn all the inhabitants into worshippers of Weysa. There are some pretty good fights, a dragon, and a strong woman who is soulbound to a dragon that helps her fight to save her city. It turns out she’s a slave, though, and that her sisters are kept away from her to make sure she will […]

Review: Made for You – Melissa Marr

Review: Made for You – Melissa Marr

Made for You is a chilling psychological thriller / murder mystery made all the more chilling because it’s YA, with young characters involved. My Made for You review: Made for You have so many things going for it! One is that it’s not that easy to find a psychological thriller in the young adult category that actually is a thrilling ride! And there are parents who are involved in their children’s lives – not all in equal parts, and some not so much in the beginning, but then they are working on it! There is a very creepy stalker with a God-complex, a best friend who is a very good friend, and the main character is smart and hard-working, and […]

Review: Sugar on the Edge – Sawyer Bennett

Review: Sugar on the Edge – Sawyer Bennett

Sugar on the Edge is darker than the previous Last Call stories, but it’s just as hot, beautiful and amazing. The characters really got to me, and while there are some small editing issues, it did not at all take away any of my enjoyment. My Sugar on the Edge review: Gavin starts out as the perfect British arse, an entitled author with lots of money and no empathy at all! As Sugar on the Edge continued, though, he was shown as a multifaceted and deeply hurt man, and it was very intriguing to read about him. Savannah on the other hand has always been a little more in the background when it comes to her group of friends, but […]

Review: Make it a Double – Sawyer Bennett

Review: Make it a Double – Sawyer Bennett

Make it a Double is at least as hot and amazing as the first story in this series! I could not put it down at all! Hot alpha hero and an amazingly sweet and tender heroine for the win! My Make it a Double review: Just as I thought Hunter’s name was perfect in On the Rocks, Brody’s name did the same thing in Make it a Double. Brooding, distant and silent, Brody was keeping life at arm’s length in order to not be entangled in anything at all that could make him feel. After spending five years in prison for vehicular man slaughter. Once he’s back home, difficulties to adjust is only the start, he has trouble with a […]
