Review: Rush – Nyrae Dawn

Review: Rush – Nyrae Dawn

*I received a free ARC of Rush from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Rush is a very apt new adult romance about two boys who have been in love for ages, but both of them are scared about coming out. Brandon is afraid he won’t be able to play college football if his team-mates know he’s gay, and Alec has been listening to his dad’s gay-slurs for as long he can remember. Even if they haven’t seen each other in a long time, they are both really attached to each other, and when Charlotte, Alec’s best friend, calls him to let him know Brandon has been seriously hurt in an accident a while […]

Review: Fire Inside (Chaos #2) – Kristen Ashley

Review: Fire Inside (Chaos #2) – Kristen Ashley

*I received a free ARC of Fire Inside from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) via Netgalley in exhange of an honest review* Fire Inside is a hot story, and at the very beginning, I was wondering if maybe it was actually *gasp* too hot for me. It starts out very strong, with Hop and Lainie being very  hot and heavy! And while I truly enjoy some steamy scenes, it was a little shocking to have such an opening scene of the story. It also took a little while before there was more to the plot than Lainie and Hop having sex, and since I hadn’t met either of them before, it was a little bit awkward. However, as I continued to […]

#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 […]

Review: ‘Twas the Night Before Mischief (Daring Hearts #2.5) – Nina Rowan

Review: ‘Twas the Night Before Mischief (Daring Hearts #2.5) – Nina Rowan

*I received a free ARC of ‘Twas the Night Before Mischief from Forever / Grand Central Publishing via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* ‘Twas the Night Before Mischief is a very sweet historical romance novel set right around Christmas. Penelope has always felt a little out of place and almost invisible, but because she is such a good girl, she has never done anything to try and make herself more visible in any way. A good dose of suspense of disbelief is needed, but if you can manage that, you will enjoy this novella very much. Penny has always been good, but when a Scottish rogue starts paying attention to her, she will not listen to her father, […]

Review: Facade (Games #2) – Nyrae Dawn

Review: Facade (Games #2) – Nyrae Dawn

*I received a free ARC of Facade from Forever Grand Central Publishing via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Facade took a hold of my heart, ripped it out of my chest and shredded it to pieces! So much dark sadness, so many emotions, I fell in love with both the characters and the beautiful prose. The storyline depicts a harsh reality – for all of the characters, and the incredibly deep sadness they feel and try to get rid of in whichever way might work is an important part of their journey. Laney and Adrian are both dealing with a lot of mis-placed guilt, and in order to function in the world, they both put up a facade […]

Review: Elite (Eagle Elite #1) – Rachel Van Dyken

Review: Elite (Eagle Elite #1) – Rachel Van Dyken

*I received a free ARC of Elite from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Elite is one of those books that seemed to have all of the ingredients necessary to make sure I wouldn’t like it. It is actually the first time I’ve given one stars to a book since I started my blog, so I’ll try to be specific in my dislikes – because we all know that what I don’t like may very well be exactly what you’re looking for! At the beginning of Elite, Trace is moving from Wyoming to Chicago to start a new school, her grandma passed away not long ago, and Trace entered some kind of lottery to […]

At Last (Lucky Harbor #5) – Jill Shalvis

At Last (Lucky Harbor #5) – Jill Shalvis

*I got a free ARC of At Last from Forever via netgalley in exchange of an honest review* At Last is sweet, hot, romantic, delightful and touching. Amy is so sweet and insecure, even if she is hiding behind a pretty tough armour not to show what she is feeling at any time. Matt is hot – good thing he only exists in a story, or I might have had to try to find Lucky Harbor on a map and go on a trip *grins* The chocolate quotes at the beginning of each chapter had me each time – so funny, and oh so accurate. Chocolate can solve almost any problem that can ever arise. I love how both Amy […]
