Overdue For Pleasure

Review: Overdue For Pleasure by Shelley Aikens

Overdue For Pleasure has been on my Kindle for a while now. I bought it and tucked it away on my TBR for a rainy day. I wanted to do some “fun” reading this weekend, and so I searched my virtual shelves for an erotic romance. I couldn’t decide between an erotic historical or this [...]

Season for Temptation

Review: Season for Temptation by Theresa Romain

I have to admit defeat and give up on this one. I haven’t enjoyed it and am tired of struggling to become interested. I gave it a good go and made it to page 176, but I don’t think it’s going to get any better. The hero, James, comes to visit his fiancée, Louisa, and [...]

Cowboy Come Home

Review: Cowboy Come Home by Janette Kenny

I’m back…the resident Cowboy Expert here at FVBR. Sophia always knows how to tempt me with a book – it either has a cowboy on the cover or “cowboy” in the title. Sadly, Cowboy Come Home just didn’t work for me. I kept with it until page 220 (out of 379) when I finally gave up. [...]

Reluctant Companions

Review: Reluctant Companions by Christine London

The premise of this short story seemed promising: girl mourning her father’s recent passing goes to a secluded island bungalow to recoup and take some time for herself, but instead finds herself sharing it with an overworked Scottish movie star who is also there for an escape. Seems cute, right? And I love Scotland and [...]

Darkness Descending

Review: Darkness Descending by Devyn Quinn

Usually I have more patience than this. I can keep pushing through almost any book in the hope of it turning into a good read. But this? For some reason, there is no patience. I’m done. I am bored and I am irritated and I just want to move onto a book I might actually [...]

Destiny United

Review: Destiny United by Leia Shaw

It is very rare that I don’t finish a book and while it is no longer impossible for me to do, it is still very difficult. I have no doubt that one of the reasons I was able to make this a DNF read was because I had recently read its prequel and many of [...]

The Guardian (Return of the Highlanders)

Review: The Guardian by Margaret Mallory

***POTENTIAL SPOILERS IN RANT BELOW*** ***POTENTIAL SPOILERS IN RANT BELOW*** ***POTENTIAL SPOILERS IN RANT BELOW*** I’ve reached my limit with this book. It is too irritating for me to continue. The hero is an immature, selfish pig. He leaves for five years after being forced to marry his childhood friend and ignores any attempts from [...]

The Werewolf Upstairs (Strange Neighbors, #2)

Review: The Werewolf Upstairs by Ashlyn Chase

I chose to read The Werewolf Upstairs by Ashlyn Chase because I do like a lighter read now and then; something laced with humor, a few unusual characters and a fun story. It provides a nice change from the gritty urban fantasy worlds and the emotionally charged romances I like to read. Roz Wells, an [...]
