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: 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 [...]
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. (Hypnosis?) Sophie Kinsella is well known for her Shopaholic series and overall chick lit style. Chick lit usually isn’t my thing because you miss [...]
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
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 [...]
Review: Inked Magic by Jory Strong
Inked Magic was a very interesting book. It blended some very compelling characters with a pretty strong plot. I think it might be best to talk about the characters individually and then discuss them as they relate to each other and all together. Etain- Etain is the heroine of the story. She has a gift that allows her [...]

Review: Flashfire by Deborah Cooke
I was very excited to read Flashfire. It is the seventh book in the Dragonfire series, a series that I have wanted to try for a long time but somehow never got around to it. Big, bad dragons are quite interesting to me and I don’t think there are enough books with them as the [...]
Review: The Bro-Magnet by Lauren Baratz-Logsted
Ok, let’s just get this out of the way right now. Ignore the cover, don’t think about the title, read the book, laugh a lot. That’s what I did and it works. Trust me on this. If I had not seen the buzz on Twitter and Goodreads about this book, I probably would have passed [...]
Review: Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James + Giveaway
In late 2011, author E.L. James took romance readers by surprise with the first two books of her Fifty Shades trilogy. I cannot remember the last time two books have been so hyped when I had not previously even heard of the author or the titles. Fifty, aka Christian Grey, was one of the most talked [...]
