Before She Dies

Review: Before She Dies by Mary Burton

Despite its label of Romantic Suspense, this book has barely any romance. In the beginning of the book, when I was enjoying it, I thought I might like the overall story despite my irritation with not delivering on the promised “R” in “RS.” Unfortunately, that optimism only holds true when I’m actually enjoying said book. [...]

Breakaway - Deirdre Martin

Review: Breakaway by Deirdre Martin

I am a big fan of sports romances because I get to picture all the hot and sweaty men running around half-naked in the locker rooms.  So when I saw the cover of Breakaway by Deirdre Martin I was all over it.  Unfortunately, the cover is very misleading.  While the book is part of her New [...]

Sweet Reward

Review: Sweet Reward by Christy Reece

I had a really hard time connecting with this book. I liked the storyline idea in Sweet Reward, but I couldn’t get into the execution of it. I know this is a popular series, so I’m slightly curious about whether or not this book was a good representation of the rest of the series. Either [...]

Review: Lawe’s Justice by Lora Leigh

Review: Lawe’s Justice by Lora Leigh

This series is a guilty pleasure of mine. I accept things from this author that I would harshly ridicule from another. The sex is frequent and over the top, and the characters are a bit over dramatic. The characters and they way they talk aren’t realistic, and the author can be repetitive. I know this, [...]

Blood of Eden

Review: Blood of Eden by Tami Dane

I was really looking forward to reading this book, because I’ve wanted to explore the UF sub-genre for a while now—not in small part due to the fact that I felt like I was ready for a (don’t kill me) romance mini-break. *GASP* I know. Just a small one! A change of pace now and [...]

Tempt Me

Review: Tempt Me by R.G. Alexander

I was looking for something fun and sexy when I picked this book, and the mention of a ‘magical wannabe guardian angel’ on the back cover had me intrigued. What? I admit I have a weakness for angel-ish creatures. Don’t judge me. I knew this was an Erotic Romance going into it, but I didn’t [...]

Review: Shaedes of Gray by Amanda Bonilla

Review: Shaedes of Gray by Amanda Bonilla

I’ve discovered that I’m not a big fan of a romantic connection being established prior to the start of a book. I don’t mind a preexisting attraction or a second chance, but I don’t like having an established connection plopped in my lap. I know I’m just supposed to go with it, but it’s hard. [...]

Seductive As Flame

Review: Seductive As Flame by Susan Johnson

It was common gossip that there wasn’t a woman alive safe from the seductive skills of Alec Monro, Earl of Dalgliesh. On the other hand, there was no woman who didn’t secretly covet a dalliance with the audacious, disreputable, and dangerously exciting lover. After all, he was as handsome as a god, and his endowments [...]
