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: The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never #1) – J.A. Redmerski

Review: The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never #1) – J.A. Redmerski

*I received a free ARC of The Edge of Never from Hachette Book Group via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Edge of Never is a very emotional story about not having a destination in life, feeling numb, and not knowing what to do next. Camryn has felt lost for over a year, ever since Ian died in a horrible accident, the only feeling she has is a sort of numb pain. She is unable to cry, and her life has become a set of situations where she is only going through the motions. Her best friend Natalie tries her best to cheer her up, date again, move out of her mom’s house – anything to get a […]

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: Born of Silence (The League #5) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Review: Born of Silence (The League #5) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

The League series is always filled with surprises, amazing fights and a real love story. Born of Silence follows the other books in the series, and the characters from all the other books are present in this volume, to my great delight. There were a lot of new revelations in this book, and I felt so bad for Darling, it almost hurt to read about his childhood. Then, again after he was taken by the insurgents and nobody realized who he was, I have to admit my heart was breaking into a million pieces. I don’t know how he could get through that at all. Of course, Darling wasn’t completely sane after that for quite some time, but when he […]

Review: Forever and a Day (Lucky Harbor #6) – Jill Shalvis

Review: Forever and a Day (Lucky Harbor #6) – Jill Shalvis

*I got a free copy of Forever and a Day from the Grand Central via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.*  Forever and a Day is my favorite Lucky Harbor novel, I like it even more than I liked At last! Grace is a little clumsy, but such a cute heroine anyway, and Scott is the forbidding doctor who thinks he doesn’t have time for love.
