A Hostage Negotiator, a Lawyer, and a Crazy Murder. Boy, Oh, Boy! Strap into your helicopters for a grand adventure. F.Y.I. Overwhelming Force by Janie Crouch is the fifth book in the Omega Sector series, but no need to worry. I feel that you do not have to read the first four books to know what is going on. You can jump or helicopter in with no problems what so ever. We are introduced to our … Continue reading Overwhelming Force by Janie Crouch →
I have been debating about how I feel about APB: Baby for a week. And I still haven’t really come to a resolution. It’s not a bad book, which I was totally expecting from the title. I mean, c’mon, that title promises so much crazysauce. As I started reading, I was a little overwhelmed (there is So Much going on), and then I really started liking it, and then I started reading everything with a … Continue reading APB: Baby by Julie Miller →

Olivia is the youngest of the four Watson siblings and Dr. Niall Watson has been put in charge of keeping his other brothers Duff and Keir in line during the wedding.

Tall, dark, and damaged are three good adjectives used to describe Sarah Andre’s hero, Devon Ashby. Or Devon Wickham, depending on which villain you choose to support in this fast moving family-based romantic intrigue. Other adjectives that might serve: drop-dead gorgeous, resilient, ruthless, and afraid. Because Devon is afraid to expose his heart to more pain. At the age of nine, he had to cope with a distant and forbidding father, but his day-to-day existence … Continue reading Tall, Dark and Damaged by Sarah Andre →
King’s Captive is one epic, delicious mind fuck of a book. I started it after finishing another book at 11 p.m. and read it in one glorious sitting (Bad Decisions Book Club, y’all) and when I was done I needed a cigarette. And I don’t smoke. So first of all, this book is total crazysauce but the best kind of crazysauce. I was totally invested in what was happening. I gave up many precious hours … Continue reading King’s Captive by Amber Bardan →
Sometimes I can only take so much crazysauce and wtfery before I have to tap out. I know, I know, you good folks rely on me to read this shit so you don’t have to, but even I have my limits. I DNF’d Hunt the Dawn, but I did get far enough to share some prime F+ moments with you. Hunt the Dawn is a romantic suspense novel featuring Lathaniel (yes, yes, that is his actual … Continue reading Hunt the Dawn by Abbie Roads →
The Devil’s Daughter is a romantic suspense that is heavy on thrills and fairly light on romance. I enjoyed the mystery elements, but the romance between the two main characters felt flat to me. The mystery centers around a group called Elysia in a small Montana community. Supposedly worshippers of Persephone and led by a woman named Martha Collins, the group is most definitely a cult — and some of their rituals are terrifying (you’re in … Continue reading The Devil’s Daughter by Katee Robert →
I really, really enjoyed Going Deep by Anne Calhoun. It’s an excellent blend of romance and mystery, and it features a bodyguard hero, which I love. In addition, it’s pretty much free of violence, so if you’re iffy on romantic suspense because you don’t like violent themes, then this book is for you. Cady Ward aka pop superstar Queen Maud, is returning to her hometown for the holidays. She’s exhausted from being on tour for … Continue reading Going Deep by Anne Calhoun →

This book opens up after the events of Mr and Mr Smith when the Rivers family has suffered serious set backs and is on the run. The scion to this criminal empire, and potentially … Continue reading The Talented Mr. Rivers by HelenKay Dimon →
The world is a great big dumpster fire right now and it’s got me all depressed. So when I picked up Love and Protect by Lori Ryan I was just hoping for a decent romantic suspense read–what I got was a surprisingly comforting, healing book that brought tears to my eyes. I mean, it’s still a romantic suspense so there is some violence–this isn’t a comfort read the way a traditional Regency is. Also trigger warning for … Continue reading Love and Protect by Lori Ryan →
Warning: This review contains some spoilers. I really enjoyed reading this book. I had never read this author before, but I was interested after hearing the author on the podcast with Elyse. This book was action-packed! It was an adrenaline-fueled read with lots of drama. A times it was almost too dramatic and really very dark. I am always a little surprised at how dark so many books and series that fold into the romance … Continue reading Facing Fire by HelenKay Dimon →
