Review: Her Valentine Fantasy – Nancy Warren

Review: Her Valentine Fantasy – Nancy Warren

*I received a free ARC of Her Valentine Fantasy from Cosmo Red Hot Reads from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Her Valentine Fantasy is a whirlwind romance, hot, sexy and a little unexpected. The humor is ever-present, but not overwhelming, and I loved the swift and breathless way the characters fell for each other. A look, chemistry, a sexy way to explain the dessert and voilà, recipe for a beautiful valentine fantasy ready to be served. Jessica and Sam’s first meeting in Her Valentine Fantasy is pretty unconventional! Sam is the owner at Benedict, where Jessica is out on a first date with a banker – a very boring banker. Sam, however, who is waiting tables […]

Review: A February Bride (A Year of Weddings #3) – Betsy St. Amant

Review: A February Bride (A Year of Weddings #3) – Betsy St. Amant

*I received a free ARC of A February Bride from Zondervan Fiction via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* A February Bride is the story of Allie, and how and why she ran away from church in her wedding dress, even if all she ever wanted was to finally marry Marcus. Her reasons for running are pretty shallow in my opinion – she loves him, and he loves her, but she’s got this idea in her head that her family is cursed. That all the women in her family are bound to hurt the men in their lives, and throw them out just so they can marry a new and improved version. So Allie thinks the best thing to […]

Review: Flirting with Disaster – Ruthie Knox

Review: Flirting with Disaster – Ruthie Knox

*I received a free ARC of Flirting with Disaster from Random House Publishing – Loveswept via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Flirting with Disaster is quite different from what I expected. Sean is a very sexy geek, he stutters – which is why he refuses to speak when Katie can hear him. Katie is a very strong woman, she has picked up the pieces of her life several times, and come out even stronger afterwards. Very caring, she has trouble figuring out what to do with the rest of her life. With just the right amount of hotness, Flirting with Disaster also has a mystery to solve, as Sean and Katie have to keep rock-star Judah Pratt safe […]

The Sheriff Catches a Bride (The Cowboys of Chance Creek #5) – Cora Seton

The Sheriff Catches a Bride (The Cowboys of Chance Creek #5) – Cora Seton

*I received a free ARC of The Sheriff Catches a Bride from One Acre Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Sheriff Catches a Bride is in the same spirit as the other books in the Chance Creek series, but it is a little more complicated and confused because of the sub-plot that takes up a lot of time that I would have rather spent with Cab and Rose. Fila is fleeing from Afghanistan, and arrives in New York with three handlers to bring her to her new husband, a Taliban terrorist, and I felt that this whole part of the story only served the purpose of a resolution for Cab and Rose. I also think that […]

Review: Panic (Rook and Ronin #3) – J.A. Huss

Review: Panic (Rook and Ronin #3) – J.A. Huss

In Panic, Rook starts her new show with Spencer, and Ford is tagging along as usual. Being away from Ronin is not easy, but she can finally start film school, and she has other people she can count on as friends. Her tutor is showing her some strange newspaper articles as he tries to make her doubt all three men who have become so important to her. When an ex also shows up to tell her she has to talk to an FBI agent to save his mother, she realizes this may very well have something to do with her past, rather with the past of her friends. Even I could feel the Panic at times while reading. Rook puts […]

Review: Escaping Reality (The Secret Life of Amy Bensen #1) – Lisa Renee Jones

Review: Escaping Reality (The Secret Life of Amy Bensen #1) – Lisa Renee Jones

*I received a free ARC of Escaping Reality from Julie Patra Publishing via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* I am completely blown away by Escaping Reality! A red-hot thriller/suspense novel with a great main character in Amy. She has no idea if there is anyone she can trust, and a secretive handler has just made her leave New York and her new life behind. At the airport, she finds the right locker, with a small carry-on, new ID and an address in Denver. Shockingly fast paced, there is never a dull moment, as Amy runs, and finds herself next to a very sexy and hot man on the plane. Escaping Reality has Amy on the run, a mysterious […]

Review: My Favorite Mistake – Chelsea M. Cameron

Review: My Favorite Mistake – Chelsea M. Cameron

*I received a free ARC of My Favorite Mistake from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* My Favorite Mistake is made of awesome! Great story, excellent characters and anticipation galore. Both Hunter and Taylor have their own very dark secret they try to keep hidden, and they don’t do relationships. They don’t fall in love. They don’t share. To say Taylor is upset when Hunter shows up at her door to inform her and her two friends, Renee and Darah, that he’s their new roommate is an understatement. She has no place for a boy in her life, let alone in her dorm. And Hunter is so cocky she hates him on sight, of course, it doesn’t […]

Review: Tempting the Cowboy (Paint River Ranch #1) – Elizabeth Otto

Review: Tempting the Cowboy (Paint River Ranch #1) – Elizabeth Otto

*I received a free ARC of Tempting the Cowboy from Entangled Publishing LLC via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Tempting the Cowboy started out as a sweet contemporary romance, with a sexy cowboy and an ex-cop who felt she needed to escape the big city to get her life back together. Rylan is ready to do the work, and being a house-keeper at a ranch with guest cottages doesn’t scare her in the least. Cole is a tall, sexy, busy cowboy, and their first meeting was not the best it could be. The chemistry was definitely present from the very start, though, but both Cole and Rylan were fighting it – for different, and very personal reasons. As […]

Review: Her Sexiest Mistake – Jill Shalvis

Review: Her Sexiest Mistake – Jill Shalvis

*I received a free ARC of Her Sexiest Mistake from Grand Central Publishing via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Her Sexiest Mistake has all the ingredients a fun and sexy contemporary romance needs to keep me entertained, and on my toes while reading. Mia thinks she has it all – she is far, far away from the trailer park she grew up in, she has a great job, and her life is nice and orderly – with no man to mess things up for her. That is, until Kevin moves in and she can’t help but flirt with him. She wants to keep it very casual, though, only sex and play, no serious business at all for her […]

Review: Searching for Someday (Searching For #1) – Jennifer Probst

Review: Searching for Someday (Searching For #1) – Jennifer Probst

*I received a free ARC of Searching for Someday from Gallery Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Searching for Someday is a very sweet romance, where Kate tries her best to just be a good friend, a good manager and leave dating to other people. After her disastrous date – number 100 – she thinks that dating is not for her, she should just use her skills to help other people towards happiness instead. A little bit quirky at times, Searching for Someday is a satisfying read, and I got to love both Kate and Slade, as well as Kennedy and Arilyn. I know for sure that this is a series I will continue to read – […]
