Do you remember when I reviewed Elle Kennedy’s The Deal and I specifically mentioned all of the hero’s hot hockey player roommates who were just itching for stories of their own? Well, they’re coming off the bench, and while not quite as good as the first book in the Off-Campus series, The Mistake offers up…
Last year, Kristen Callihan won the best New Adult Romance category in AAR’s annual poll with The Hook Up. As good as The Hook Up was, The Game Plan takes it to the next level with The Wise One’s story, ending the Game On trilogy on a high note. Fiona “Fi” Mackenzie has carried a…
One wouldn’t immediately think of Hansel and Gretel as a fairy tale ripe for reimagining. What kind of romance story could come from the theme of child abandonment and having to fight an evil captor to survive? Fortunately author Katy Regnery knew there was a goldmine within the tale and brought it into present day…
I had a chance to see Megan Erickson on a panel, and meet her briefly, at the RT Convention in Dallas. She was super funny, and charming, and I couldn’t wait to read one of her books. When I heard she was writing gay romances I thought it was about time to give one a…
After reading Focus on Me and being blown away, I was so excited to pick up the first book in the series. While Trust the Focus is a good book in its own right, I think it was overshadowed by how much I enjoyed Focus on Me. Justin’s father passed away while he was in…
I Want it That Way is first in a trilogy about college housemates in Michigan. Nadia, the heroine of this book, works hard in school and also works hard at a local daycare. As the book opens, she and her friends are moving into their apartment and Nadia has a chance meeting with their downstairs…
I originally chose Girl Underwater for review because Julia Whelan was listed as the narrator. The plot seemed kind of iffy, since I’m usually not a fan of stories that center around wilderness survival. However, it didn’t take me long to understand that Girl Underwater was a chance I’m very glad I took. Avery Delacorte…
Narration by Tanya Eby If you love your romances short, cute, sweet, and full of laughs, then The Bet may be a good bet for your next listen. Having previously listened to several books in Ms. Van Dyken’s Eagle Elite series (mafia New Adult), I have to admit that I was expecting something a little different…
Sometimes a book is totally working for you, and then something tanks it. Need Me could have gotten a much higher grade from me, except the middle of the book went so far off the tracks that it was irredeemable. The result was half a book I loved, and half one that I couldn’t stand….
I really, really liked Elle Kennedy’s The Deal. The characters are fantastic, and I stayed up into the wee hours to finish it. Unfortunately, as is the case for any story involving sports or other serious pursuits, Kennedy’s lack of accuracy in portraying the sport of ice hockey created a serious plot hole that kept…
