What I liked There was a lot I liked about Eye Candy: Office romance. Two characters with a tough relationship history (both divorced). I liked the characters a lot both individually and on their own. I looove the whole “friends become lovers” trope. And just […]

Review: Wired by Julie Garwood
Despite being part of a series, Wired can be read as a standalone. Man, this book was a huge letdown for me. I had high hopes since I’m a coder and I thought a coding/FBI/romance/thriller book just sounded AMAZING. But it wasn’t what I hoped […]
Review: The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich
The best part of the book was the romance. I really loved watching that story unfold and Caden slowly starting to realize that he’s gay and understand what his feelings mean. Loved that! The stuff I didn’t quite like… Juliet was boring. Caden has feelings […]
Review: Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett
Alex, Approximately was the perfect blend of fun/fluff and intensity. On the fluff side, it was a super fun and sweet summer romance filled with awkward maybe-dating, summer jobs, and new best friends. But on the intense side, there were unresolved fears/traumas, trust issues, and […]
Review: Royally Roma by Teri Wilson
You have no idea how much I wanted to (and almost could have) love this book. The premise—girl meets prince and doesn’t know he’s a prince—is PERFECT. Add in Rome and it’s beyond perfect. But sadly the book didn’t quite work up to my hopes. […]
If You’re in the Mood for Something Warm and Fuzzy: By Your Side by Kasie West
Love love love! By Your Side was exactly what I wanted when I read it: adorable, warm, fun, and a little fluffy. Did I mention warm? The book actually talks a lot about the cold but something about reading it all snuggled up under blankets […]
I Was Looking Forward to this Book So Much… then it fell flat
I had my eye on Stealing Home for months! I’m a big Nicole Williams fan. I loved the Crash series (five stars all around!) and while I liked Lost & Found a little less, I still enjoyed it quite a bit. So when the synopsis […]
738 Days – 432 Pages of Pure, Emotional Awesome
738 Days is the kind of book that rips your world apart and slowly tries to put the pieces back together. Kind of like The Sea of Tranquility. In hindsight, it TOTALLY has that same vibe and the power to completely own you. Here’s what […]
Romance Books That Rocked (and ones that sucked)
I got you caught up on the fantasy books I’ve read lately, now let’s check out some of the delicious contemporary romances! Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy This whole series was DELICIOUS! It sent me deep into book hangover territory. I was ruined for all […]
Review: A Million Miles Away by Lara Avery
A Million Miles Away was AMAAAZING! It was addicting, sweet, swoony, and completely heartbreaking. The romance itself was so incredibly tender. They were SO ADORABLE together! I also loved how so much of Kelsey and Peter’s exchange was via email. Something about seeing all their […]
