Review: Uncovering Ray – Edie Danford

Review: Uncovering Ray – Edie Danford

Uncovering Ray was a surprising, tender and emotional story, and I will definitely be checking out more titles from this author in the future! My Uncovering Ray review: Ray is a very interesting character, struggling with identity on different levels, both when it comes to family and when it comes to gender. Uncovering Ray really does uncover Ray, and the one character to do that is Wyatt. At the beginning of the story, I thought Wyatt was just another jock, playing with Ray by coming by the café to watch, talk and ask questions for his gender studies class. I quickly realized that Wyatt was the real thing, though, curious about sexuality, and pretty open-minded and very smart. As Uncovering […]

Review: Once Upon a Winter’s Eve – Tessa Dare

Review: Once Upon a Winter’s Eve – Tessa Dare

Spindle Cove is definitely the place to be, and Once Upon a Winter’s Eve cemented that feeling for me. My Once Upon a Winter’s Eve review: Violet is a very good female character to follow, but that is usually the case with this series! Once Upon a Winter’s Eve happens over the span of an evening and night, and then a few months later there is a very nice resolution. The women who go to Spindle Cove are quite unconventional, and they rather cultivate that during their stay. As such, Violet knows how to use a gun, and she’s very gifted when it comes to languages. Of course, my inner linguist totally loved that, and the fact that the man […]

Review: Ticket Home (Strangers on a Train) – Serena Bell

Review: Ticket Home (Strangers on a Train) – Serena Bell

Ticket Home is the fifth book in the Strangers on a Train series. Of course, these books do not have to be read in any particular order, but Ticket Home is the last one I read. Unfortunately, it is also my least favorite in the series. The playfulness and the amazing sexual tension I felt in the other stories was not as present here. I think one of the reasons why is that Amy and Jeff aren’t exactly strangers – and so the whole strangers on a train thing cannot really apply to them. And instead of sexy romance, there is a lot of anger between them, because even if Amy is still attracted to him, she is not over […]

Review: Tight Quarters (Strangers on a Train) – Samantha Hunter

Review: Tight Quarters (Strangers on a Train) – Samantha Hunter

Tight Quarters is the fourth story I have read in the Strangers on a Train series by different authors. It is quite different from the other books in this series, because the characters, Reid and Brenna, both have something difficult to deal with. Brenna has difficulties just boarding the train, and when Reid follows her all the way to her berth, she almost flips out. She uses her key to open the door, then close it behind her. When Reid then proceeds to open the door with his own key, she hides in a corner, and has no idea what to do. For just one person, the berth has more than enough room, but put a bulky ex-cop in there […]

Review: Big Boy (Strangers on a Train) – Ruthie Knox

Review: Big Boy (Strangers on a Train) – Ruthie Knox

Big Boy is a fun and very hot story about Amanda, and the very little time she has to actually go out on a date. Not at all desperate to find a special someone in her life, she does realize that she needs more than just her job and being a mother to Josh, though, and when she signs up with a dating service, little does she know what her mysterious man has in store for her. She has as much fun getting her costume ready as she has actually meeting with the mystery man himself. Getting ready with clothes from another era, feeling sexy and herself, but not herself brings some spice and fun back into Mandy’s life. And […]
