Embrace - Jessica Shirvington

Early Review: Embrace by Jessica Shirvington

Not too long ago Sophia asked me if I would like to review a YA book- Embrace by Jessica Shirvington.  I do not read YA but since she asked so nicely I thought I could give it a try.  I said yes all the while grumbling, moaning and complaining to myself.  Young adult?  Really?  There [...]

Time Out - Jill Shalvis

Review: Time Out by Jill Shalvis

I’ve had such a lucky streak lately with small town contemporaries and sports romances. (I’ve also been very lucky with Jill Shalvis books.) I’ve been glomming them up left and right and feeling very satisfied. Recently I was in the mood for an alpha hero so I was browsing around on Goodreads and spotted a few [...]

Review: Not Wicked Enough by Carolyn Jewel

Review: Not Wicked Enough by Carolyn Jewel

Thoughts like hers were not appropriate for a lady. Her father had once told her she’d been born wicked, and she suspected he was right. What proper lady, never married, took a lover, regretted nothing, and dreamed of taking another? If you enjoy Historical Romances featuring heroines who are not shy, virginal misses, then this [...]

Firelight

Review: Firelight by Kristen Callihan

It is tough to write a review for this book.  Firelight is the debut novel for Kristen Callihan and she enters the romance world with quite a sensation.  The book is a mixture of gothic/historical romance with a paranormal twist.  The reason it is hard to write a review is because the majority of the book [...]

A Private Gentleman - Heidi Cullinan

Review – A Private Gentleman by Heidi Cullinan

This is just how I like my M/M books – a strong love story where mindless sex isn’t the focus of the book or thrown in every few pages. Don’t get me wrong – I do love some mindless sex from time to time – but I’ll take a book full of  characters with depth, [...]

I've Got Your Number - Sophie Kinsella

Review: I’ve Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella

THINGS TO DO BEFORE WEDDING 1.  Become expert on Greek philosophy. 2.  Memorize Robert Burns poems. 3.  Learn long Scrabble words. 4.  Remember:  am HYPOCHONDRIAC. 5.  Beef stroganoff:  Get to like.

Always in My Heart

Review: Always in My Heart by Catherine Anderson

After starting this book, I was almost positive that I wouldn’t like it. The heroine, Ellie, seemed like a bitter ex-wife who was trying to play at being a martyr-mom. Everything she did was for her kids. She lived and breathed solely to be there for them and never thought of herself. Her whole life [...]

Review: Ride with Me by Ruthie Knox

Review: Ride with Me by Ruthie Knox

If you don’t already know, I’m really into riding road bikes. A lot. I biked almost 3,000 miles in 2011 and spent 7 days biking from San Francisco to Los Angeles. So imagine my giddiness when I got the opportunity to read and review Ride with Me , a contemporary romance about two people riding bikes! Not to mention this [...]
