Review: The Cowboy Imports a Bride (The Cowboys of Chance Creek #3) – Cora Seton

Review: The Cowboy Imports a Bride (The Cowboys of Chance Creek #3) – Cora Seton

*I received a free ARC of The Cowboy Imports a Bride from One Acre Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Cowboy Imports a Bride is in the same vein as The Cowboy’s E-mail Order Bride, it’s hot, fun and has great descriptions of friendship as well as more romantic relationships. I loved getting to know Rob and Morgan, and the fact that even if they are different on many levels, they have struggled with feeling out of place during their whole lives as well. I felt especially sad when reading about Morgan – neither of her parents wanted her; they even hid her from their ‘real’ families and she was raised by her grandparents. I can’t […]

Review: Christmas at Cardwell Ranch (Cardwell Ranch #4) – B. J. Daniels

Review: Christmas at Cardwell Ranch (Cardwell Ranch #4) – B. J. Daniels

*I recieved a free ARC of Christmas at Cardwell Ranch from Harelquin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Christmas at Cardwell Ranch is a contemporary romance with some supsense / thriller elements as well. I thought the thriller part of the story was very well done. On Tag’s first night back in Montana, he sees a waitress leaving the bar, without a coat, and she seems drunk. She gets into a car and disappears into the night. And from that moment on, she’s missing. One of her female colleagues go missing as well, and those who could possibly shed some light on these disappearances are unwilling to share. Tag and Lily try to solve the mystery themselves, but […]

Review: Just One Year (Just One Day #2) – Gayle Forman

Review: Just One Year (Just One Day #2) – Gayle Forman

Just One Year was on my pre-ordered list from the moment it was possible to add it there, and when I (finally) received it last week, I was so happy! I’ve been looking forward to Willem’s story for all this time, because that one special day he spent in Paris with Lulu, and then his disappearance was so well done. And then, to see how Allyson aka Lulu kept trying to find him, while having no idea where to start made me even more curious as to how Willem lived with this separation after having Just One Day together. My curiosity was quickly quenched as I kept reading this whole year from Willem’s point of view. Just One Year shows […]

Blogtour Review: Rekindled Dreams – Linda Carroll-Bradd

Blogtour Review: Rekindled Dreams – Linda Carroll-Bradd

*I received a free ARC of Rekindled Dreams from Entranced Publishing in exchange of an honest review* Welcome to my stop on the Rekindled Dreams blog tour. Rekindled Dreams is a quick read with both some humorous and some intense moments. It also has some things happening that could very well have been omitted in my opinion, as some scenes really did nothing to move the plot or the story forward. I did get a little frustrated with for example the things that happened between Vena and the Marshall, because it didn’t have anything to do with the overall story-arc, nor did it help me understand Vena. While I did quite enjoy Rekindled Dreams, I also found myself thinking that […]

Review: Snowbound with the CEO – Shannon Stacey

Review: Snowbound with the CEO – Shannon Stacey

*I received a free ARC of Snowbound with the CEO from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Snowbound with the CEO is a short but sweet romance, set between the CEO and his executive assistant. They have been lusting for each other for a long time, but neither of them wants to make a go for it, afraid things will become awkward at work if they do. Then, they are in New Hampshire for a very important meeting, but the meeting never happens. Because of the heavy snowfall, the client is stuck in Boston, an Adrian and Rachel are stuck in New Hampshire – all alone, with not much to do, apart from maybe acting out […]

Review: Take Me Home for Christmas (Whiskey Creek #5) – Brenda Novak

Review: Take Me Home for Christmas (Whiskey Creek #5) – Brenda Novak

*I received a free ARC of Take Me Home for Christmas from Harlequin MIRA via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.* Take Me Home for Christmas is yet another nicely done story in the Whiskey Creek series. Approaching Christmas, everything that can go wrong in Sophia’s life does indeed go wrong. On a yacht with her husband, Skip, and their daughter Lexi, off the coast of Rio to celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary, Skip disappears in thin air.

Review: Getting Rowdy (Love Undercover #3) – Lori Foster

Review: Getting Rowdy (Love Undercover #3) – Lori Foster

*I received a free ARC of Getting Rowdy from Harlequin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.* Getting Rowdy is a sinfully delicious romantic mystery/suspense that I devoured in one day! Avery is a really good female character and Rowdy is smoking hot, kind of a womanizer but so protective of the people he cares about it’s impossible not to love him. At the beginning, I really didn’t think there was going to be much of a future for Avery and Rowdy, because they are so different. For Rowdy, a good night means trying to bed Avery, and when she refuses, he finds a replacement – for one night only. For Avery, a good night means having enough work, […]

Review: Crash Into You (Pushing the Limits #3) – Katie McGarry

Review: Crash Into You (Pushing the Limits #3) – Katie McGarry

*I received a free ARC of Crash Into You from Harlequin Teen via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.* If you thought Isaiah was the best bad-boy out there in Pushing the Limits, you’ll adore him in Crash Into You! Of course, bad boy is relative, it has to do with the way people see him more than anything else! Rachel doesn’t really care all that much about appearances, though, especially because it seems like that is the only thing that matters for her family. And her four brothers aren’t really any better than her parents when it comes to that. This might become a very gushing review, because I was so excited when I got an e-mail telling […]

Review: Targeted (Deadly Ops #1) – Katie Reus

Review: Targeted (Deadly Ops #1) – Katie Reus

*I received a free ARC of Targeted from Penguin Group Berkley via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Targeted is an extremely fast-paced romantic thriller, with awesome characters, an exciting plot and some very hot and steamy scenes as well. Sophie and Jack has a lot of things working against them, especially that little detail from Jack’s past, the one where his name wasn’t Jack, and he was Sophie’s first boyfriend. And the only boy she’d ever loved. When Jack is sent to Miami to find out more about a medical company that seems to be involved with drug and arms trafficking, he doesn’t want to go at first, because he feels that seeing Sophie again is the biggest […]

Review: The Next Best Thing – Kristan Higgins

Review: The Next Best Thing – Kristan Higgins

*I received a free ARC of The Next Best Thing from Harlequin HQN via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Next Best Thing is the story about Lucy, the young widow and Ethan, her brother-in-law. Yeah, that right there is a little weird to me, but not so much that I couldn’t overlook it. Ethan is a very decent character, and Lucy has been a widow for a long time. Also, she got to know Ethan before she met Jimmy. There were some other things I had trouble with, though, so I didn’t enjoy The Next Best Thing as much as I thought I would when I read the blurb and requested the ARC. In some ways, it […]
