Books on Sale: The Brightest Day by Kianna Alexander & More

RECOMMENDED: The Brightest Day Anthology is 99c! This is a historical romance anthology with several recommended authors. Sarah read it and gave it a B-:

Anthologies are difficult to grade sometimes. Some of the stories I found myself skimming, while with Cole’s story, I was gripping my ereader so tightly my hands started to ache. I’m giving this anthology a B- overall, averaging together the grades above.

RITA Reader Challenge Review

Brokedown Cowboy by Maisey Yates

Brokedown Cowboy

I am a big fan of regency romance, so I thought I would step out of my comfort zone a little for the RITA© Reader Challenge and read a contemporary. Well, that and I am apparently not the only fan of Regency romance so they were pretty much all spoken for by the time I got around to signing up- but I digress! I don’t usually gravitate towards contemporary romance and I have never read … Continue reading Brokedown Cowboy by Maisey Yates

Brokedown Cowboy by Maisey Yates

Brokedown Cowboy

I had high hopes for this book, I really did. A widower finds love with his best friend? Sounded like my kind of story, but about ¼ of the way through it I knew that I was ONLY going to finish so that I could write this review, because I love me some SBTB. Let’s start with the good. Maisey Yates is a damn good writer. Untouched is one of my favorite contemporaries ever. She … Continue reading Brokedown Cowboy by Maisey Yates

Books on Sale: My One and Only by Kristan Higgins & More

My One and Only by Kristan Higgans is $1.99 at most vendors and $2.99 elsewhere! This is a contemporary second chance romance with a road trip plot. Catnip, anyone? Some readers felt the romance was predictable and just sort of meh, while others really loved how Higgins handled the second chance/reunited exes trope. Readers also mentioned the book has some great secondary characters. Have you read this one?

Books on Sale: Bringing Home the Bad Boy by Jessica Lemmon & More

RECOMMENDED: Bringing Home the Bad Boy by Jessica Lemmon is $1.99! I bought this when it was n sale last spring and enjoyed it! This is a contemporary romance and the first in a series. The hero is a tattoo artist, single father, and a widower, and I just know that has to be someone’s catnip. The heroine also appears to be the best friend of the hero’s late wife, which I know isn’t everyone’s favorite trope. You have been forewarned. It also has a 4-star rating on GoodReads.

Book Review

Avenge Me by Maisey Yates

Avenge Me

I like over-the-top, angsty Harlequin Presents, and I like Maisey Yates’ writing, so it was no real surprise that I enjoyed Avenge Me. It’s the first book in the 5th Avenue trilogy, and based on the steaminess and drama of the first installment, I’m going to like this series a lot. The book opens with Austin Treffen reflecting on the fact that he’s about to destroy his family. Austin is a lawyer, and just like his daddy, … Continue reading Avenge Me by Maisey Yates

Book Review

Unbuttoned by Maisey Yates

Unbuttoned by Maisey Yates

I loved Unbuttoned by Maisey Yates in a big way. My only real complaint is that it’s a novella, not a novel, and it left me wanting more—more character development, more plot, more sizzling unresolved sexual tension. Reading Unbuttoned is like being given one of those trendy cake pops; I gobbled it down and then thought “where the fuck is the rest of my cake?!” Carly Denton is the one who needs unbuttoning in this … Continue reading Unbuttoned by Maisey Yates

A Royal World Apart by Maisey Yates

A Royal World Apart by Maisey Yates

I picked up this book when I read on Maisey Yates’ Facebook page that she’d written a Harlequin Presents with a virgin hero. The what you say? Most of the Presents I’ve read featured trembling, doe-eyed, virginal heroines who’ve never bothered to locate or think about their hoo-has until the hero shows up. If Yates wrote her hero in the same mold, then they’d spend half the book sitting on a king-sized bed in front … Continue reading A Royal World Apart by Maisey Yates

Guest Review: Squee Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes

Evvie Drake Starts Over

This guest review is from Lisa the Librarian: Yes, I’m a librarian, and yes, being surrounded by books all day long is great. But it’s not “I-can-just-read-all-day” great as many people seem to assume. Oh, how I wish that were a thing! I would spend my days reading Regencies, funny contemporaries, cowboy romances, and all the other beautiful books I see every day. My favorite authors include Loretta Chase, Tessa Dare, Kristan Higgins, Eloisa James, Lisa Kleypas, … Continue reading Guest Review: Squee Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
