#COYER Review: A SEAL’s Salvation (Uniformly Hot SEALs #3) – Tawny Weber

#COYER Review: A SEAL’s Salvation (Uniformly Hot SEALs #3) – Tawny Weber

*I received a free ARC of A SEAL’s Salvation from Harlequin Blaze via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* A SEAL’s Salvation has just the right amount of hotness, doubts, love, lust and cookies! And, of course, for me to fully enjoy all that goodness, there was a nice dose of humor as well. Genna’s infatuation with Brody started when she was a teenager, and it lasted for long after her father forced him to join the navy. After her brother’s death, she writes him to let him know his friend has passed away. His answer was so succinct and teasing I couldn’t help but both laugh and wonder how Genna would deal with it. After a few weeks […]

#COYER Reveiw: Waking Up Pregnant – Mira Lyn Kelly

#COYER Reveiw: Waking Up Pregnant – Mira Lyn Kelly

*I received a free ARC of Waking Up Pregnant from Harlequin KISS via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Waking Up Pregnant is kind of like a mix between a modern fairy-tale and a quirky contemporary romance, and it is fun, sweet, hot and romantic packed in a neat wrapping. The characters are really well fleshed out, too, and as Darcy and Jeff fall in love, they are both hiding their true feelings – from themselves and each other. Starting in the middle of the story, Waking Up Pregnant gets right into the difficulty of the subject – Darcy has come to Jeff’s office, three months after their one night together in Vegas, and before she can even say […]

#COYER Review: The Forever Song (Blood of Eden #3) – Julie Kagawa

#COYER Review: The Forever Song (Blood of Eden #3) – Julie Kagawa

*I received a free ARC of The Forever Song from Harlequin TEEN via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Forever Song is devastating, gripping, epic, strong and dark. The perfect ending to the Blood of Eden series, it made me cry (yes I love to feed Ms. Kagawa’s muse – I’m wondering where I should send my tears!) and cheer, it made my heart almost beat all the way out of my chest, and I believe my eyes almost fell out as well. Beware – tissues are needed in plenty, but my oh my, what a ride! Some of the most amazing plot-twists I have ever had the pleasure to read appeared in The Forever Song, and I […]

#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 […]

#COYER Review: Come Home to Me (Whiskey Creek #6) – Brenda Novak

#COYER Review: Come Home to Me (Whiskey Creek #6) – Brenda Novak

*I received a free ARC of Come Home to Me from Harlequin MIRA via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* As usual, any book in the Whiskey Creek series is like catching up with good friends I haven’t seen in a while. Come Home to Me is the story where Presley and Aaron are the main characters, and I was very eager to learn more about both of them, as they have both had pretty difficult childhoods, and both have also had trouble with alcohol or drugs. Turning their lives around hasn’t been easy for either of them, but Presley has had a lot of help from Wyatt, whereas Aaron has worked hard at his family’s auto-repair shop to […]

#COYER Review: Improper Arrangements (Improper #2) – Juliana Ross

#COYER Review: Improper Arrangements (Improper #2) – Juliana Ross

*I received a free ARC of Improper Arrangements from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Improper Arrangements is pretty improper! Twenty-six year-old Alice travels alone, and then finds herself a male guide for a week-long walk through mountain passes in the French and Swiss Alps… and Alice is not exactly innocent… Neither, of course is Eli, but it was always understood that men could behave any way they wanted to, whereas women were supposed to stay pure and demure. And the fact that Alice was not a perfect little lady is one of the reasons I enjoyed Improper Arrangements so much! She knew what she wanted, and went after it. At first, Eli thought nothing of […]

#COYER Review: Maybe Someday – Colleen Hoover

#COYER Review: Maybe Someday – Colleen Hoover

*I received a free ARC of Maybe Someday from Atria Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Maybe Someday is a beautifully written contemporary New Adult romance, and, as usual the prose and the music are big parts of the story. Sydney thinks she knows all about heartache when she finds herself outside in the rain, on her birthday, after confronting her best friend and her boyfriend about their sneaking around behind her back. I truly loved how Sydney dealt with her back-stabbing friends before she packed her bags and left. Luckily for her, Ridge from across the courtyard has one of his roommates bring her up to his apartment and lets her stay until she gets her […]

#COYER Review: Wake to Darkness (Brown and De Luca #2) – Maggie Shayne

#COYER Review: Wake to Darkness (Brown and De Luca #2) – Maggie Shayne

*I received a free ARC of Wake to Darkness from Harlequin MIRA via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Wake to Darkness picks up a few months after the ending of Sleep with the Lights On, and the readers are brought right into the action, as Mason comes to see Rachel mere seconds before she goes live on television to talk about her newest self-help book. Mason needs Rachel’s help once more, and she needs him! But she will not let him know how much he affects her even after a while apart with no contact at all. Fast paced, Wake to Darkness is still dealing with a mysterious serial killer, but this time, the killer is going after […]
