Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York The writing combination of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have long been at the top of my New Adult, sexy romantic listen list. So when I saw they were releasing another collaboration, I jumped on board to review. While once again this writing duo has produced a romantic…
Fake-dating-to-love trope alert! I know this is a favorite of some readers, so get that one-click finger ready as That Thing You Do is a delightful example of it. Greta is in absolutely no hurry to be in a relationship. She did that once, it ended painfully, and now she’s quite content to collect bridesmaid…
Country music tells stories from a real-world viewpoint where love and loss can go hand in hand. Being a fan of the genre, I hoped Rising Star would use its Music City setting to showcase a romance worthy of a Country ballad. Unfortunately the story is more like Pop music; enjoyable but with little heart…
Narrated by Tim Campbell Eva Devon (who has also written as Maire Claremont) opens her Must Love Rogues series with The Rogue and I, a story she says in her author’s note is an homage to her favourite Shakespeare play, Much Ado About Nothing (which is one of my favourites, too). Many, many romances feature…
I stayed up late to read this book. I woke up early to read this book. I was late to appointments because I was reading this book. I read it in the car (while waiting on someone), and if I could have read it in the shower, I would have read it there. Can you…
This was a tough one to grade. I loved Miranda Kenneally’s first book, Crossing Jordan, and ever since then, I’ve wanted to love her subsequent titles. I keep giving them a try, and they keep falling short of the mark. So while Coming Up for Air isn’t a bad book, it isn’t great either. It…
Melissa Foster kicks off her Sugar Lake series with The Real Thing, a middling but spirited adventure in which in which a spunky baker and a famous actor must confront their shared past in order to find happiness. Willow Dalton – proprietor of Sweetie Pie’s Bakery, a bakeshop/catering business that she hopes to expand into…
I have been harping on about this book for months, so if you’ve not been subject to my evangelical zeal about its brilliance, allow me to quickly summarize. Everyone who knows Oliver Ryan is shocked when he beats his wife to the point of a coma. This mild-mannered children’s author who lives in a leafy…
I select titles for review because I think a given book sounds like something I might enjoy. So it was with The Forger. I love romantic suspense and the idea of a suspense novel set in the world of art galleries caught my fancy. Of course, I then had to read the book, which unfortunately…
Temporary is the first collaboration between authors Sarina Bowen and Sarah Mayberry and I enjoyed every bit of it. The co-authors find a perfect balance of plot, romance and sex, and I read it from start to finish in one afternoon. I liked the characters, their backstories, the plot twist that brings them into each…
