Review: A Limited Engagement by Bethany Michaels

March 13, 2017 by Helyce Leave a Comment

A Limited Engagement by Bethany Michaels (Limitless Love #1) Contemporary Romance March 13, 2017 Entangled Publishing, LLC Reviewed by Helyce I am a big fan of the “crushing on my best friend’s brother” theme; add in the fact said brother is a sexy race car driver and I’m sold. Derek’s career in racing started when he was young, and as he’d proven himself a winning driver, he rose up through the ranks.  His father is very much involved in the business side of racing, but Derek is Continue Reading

Review: The Bastard Billionaire by Jessica Lemmon

March 1, 2017 by Helyce Leave a Comment

The Bastard Billionaire by Jessica Lemmon (Billionaire Bad Boys #3) Contemporary Romance February 28, 2017 Forever Reviewed by Helyce I really enjoyed this 3rd book in Ms. Lemmon’s Billionaire Bad Boys series.  Eli is home after a devastating injury following an explosion where he lost part of his leg.  If that wasn’t enough, he lost two men from his team and he suffers that loss even more than he misses his leg.  He can’t wrap his head around the fact that he survived when two men had Continue Reading

Review: Under Pressure by Lori Foster

January 23, 2017 by Helyce 1 Comment

Under Pressure by Lori Foster (Body Armor #1) Releases: January 24, 2017 Romantic Suspense HQN Reviewed by Helyce From Goodreads: Leese Phelps’s road hasn’t been an easy one, but it’s brought him to the perfect job — working for the elite Body Armor security agency. And what his newest assignment lacks in size, she makes up for in fire and backbone. But being drawn to Catalina Nicholson is a dangerous complication, especially since it could be the very man who hired Leese who’s Continue Reading

Review: Love and First Sight by Josh Sundquist

January 20, 2017 by Helyce 1 Comment

Love At First Sight by Josh Sundquist Young Adult Contemporary Released: January 3, 2017 Little, Brown Books For Young Readers Reviewed by Helyce I heard about this book when Netgalley was doing an early arc giveaway to the first 50 requestors.  I didn’t win an advanced copy, but I was intrigued by the blurb so I purchased this book when it was released.  I haven’t read a YA book in a long time, but I’m so glad that I picked this one up. Will Porter has been blind since birth. His Continue Reading

Review: Gone by Elisabeth Naughton

January 12, 2017 by Helyce Leave a Comment

Gone by Elisabeth Naughton (Deadly Secrets #2) Romantic Suspense Released: January 10, 2017 Montlake Romance Reviewed by Helyce Alex and Raegan McClane experienced every parent’s worse nightmare when their daughter, Emma, was kidnapped three years ago. Alex had taken Emma to the park, looked away for only a moment and then she was gone.  Though Raegan never blamed Alex, he couldn’t forgive himself and instead chose to drown himself in alcohol.  Raegan couldn’t help him, and the marriage Continue Reading

Review: Run to Her by Lynn Kellan

January 5, 2017 by Helyce Leave a Comment

Run to Her by Lynn Kellan (The Brothers Series Book 1) Contemporary Romance November 28, 2016 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce From Goodreads: What can a screwed-up womanizer offer to her? Everything. Gabriel Antonov is a mechanic who can fix anything, even a woman’s hesitance. His talents have earned him the well-deserved reputation as a player, but when a routine one-night stand goes wrong, he’s haunted by what he’s done. Nothing can free him from those depraved memories, until he Continue Reading

Helyce’s Favorite Books of 2016

December 29, 2016 by Helyce 6 Comments

Compiling this list for 2016 succeeded in proving to me that this was not a great year for me reading wise. From a numbers perspective, I’ve read the least amount of books this year when compared to previous years.  I wasn’t surprised to see that most of my favorite reads were by authors whose series I’ve followed for years.  With a sprinkling of new to me authors mixed in, here is my list in no particular order: Archangel’s Heart (Guild Hunter #9) by Nalini Singh: This was a fantastic Continue Reading

Review: Snowed In by Jenna Bayley-Burke

December 20, 2016 by Helyce Leave a Comment

Snowed In by Jenna Bayley-Burke (More Than Friends #2) Contemporary Romance December 6, 2016 Swerve (Macmillan) Reviewed by Helyce I know this is probably the worst way to start a review, but I have to say it. I really disliked the heroine in this story.  She almost completely ruined the story for me and I lost count of the eye rolls, and OMGs I uttered after a while.  I say almost because I could understand some of the feelings and decisions she’d made after her experiences, but at the Continue Reading

Review: Catch Him by S. Doyle

December 14, 2016 by Helyce Leave a Comment

Catch Him by S. Doyle Contemporary Romance Released: November 13, 2016 Self Published Reviewed by Helyce Favorite Quote: “David brought lots of color.  He was the full box of 64 Crayons.” Blurb: There's a fine line between love... and lies. Officer Sinead O'Hara was just answering a house alarm call. She couldn't have predicted the man standing at the front door was going to change her life forever. David Whitemore, a hot, rich, Brit is completely out of her league. When he Continue Reading

Review: Shut Up and Kiss Me by Jessica Lemmon

December 7, 2016 by Helyce Leave a Comment

Shut Up and Kiss Me by Jessica Lemmon (Lost Boys #2) Contemporary Romance Released: December 6, 2016 Loveswept Reviewed by Helyce Cade Wilson was on his way to becoming a lawyer.  Intelligent, confident and handsome to boot, his plans come to a screeching halt when he crashes his car in a street race he entered in order to help his father out of a sticky financial situation.  While his injuries will heal, he’s left with a stutter that he cannot seem to shake.  The more agitated he gets, Continue Reading
