I saw this book announced last year and the blurb caught my attention. I eagerly awaited its arrival on Netgalley. I started following Abby on social media and was curious to know if the book would be as funny as she is online. In early 2019 I started seeing bloggers and bookstagrammers get ARCs and I waited patiently. I started to see 5 stars reviews for the book from big name publications and still I waited for a sign I might get the ARC. I also avoided all reviews of the book. Until one Continue Reading

Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuistonLGBT Contemporary RomanceMay 14, 2019 by St. Martin's Griffin KINDLE * BN * GOODREADS I loved this book. LOVED.

Now or Never by Victoria Denault Now or Never by Victoria Denault I have never read this author before but the blurb really caught my attention. I absolutely LOVE second chance romances. Add in the twist where the heroine, Winnie, broke the hero’s nose when they were teenagers and I was hooked. They reconnect after the heroine’s father dies and the heroine is wallowing in her grief at the family vacation cabin. The hero, Holden, is hired by Winnie’s brother to renovate the Continue Reading
Review: Three Little Kisses by Jenny Holiday
I think I have been hesitant to write about this book because I can't possibly formulate the appropriate words to tell you how incredibly good this book is. It was a fantastic close to a fantastic series. In previous books Gia didn't seem like she would be my favorite. Because I really love Jane. And adored Wendy. But Gia, oh man, Gia blew me away. She's lacking roots. She's struggling with her body. Struggled with who she is and where she fits it. She is a loyal friend. She is determined Continue Reading
Review: 99 Percent Mine by Sally Thorne
The cover does not do justice to this story. It gave me the impression the book would be light and fluffy and that is not the case. This book is so very different from THG and it really worked for me. The first bit of the book was a bit slow for me but then it really picked up. And I could not put it down. I stayed up until 1:30 am reading it. It made a cry a little bit. Darcy Barrett is a sad girl. She isn’t eating properly. She isn’t taking medication for her chronic illness. She Continue Reading

Smexy folks, I have missed you terribly but I am back. Life required my attention a little more than I would have liked recently and it kept me from writing any reviews. It didn’t keep me from reading though, I have lots of books to talk about this week. First up, I ordered the new Kindle Paperwhite and I mostly love it. It came with 6 months of KU so I am trying to catch up on some KU reads :) Adventures in Online Dating by Julie Particka- I LOVE stories centered around online Continue Reading

Now I'm torn between insult that he doesn't realize that I'm super funny, and swooning that he's talking about me and doesn't even know it. Holy shit, this is both incredibly sweet and incredibly fucking stupid." Friends to lovers is Continue Reading

Things seem to be turning around for my reading. Either I am in a better mood or books are getting better. I think it is a combo of both though. Regardless, I am excited that I read a better batch of books this past week. Sleepover by Serena Bell- I have enjoyed ever book by Bell that I have read and this was no exception. She typically writes emotional and incredibly sexy romances. As a side note, Bell was part of a group of authors, along with Care McKenna, Charlotte Stein, Amy Jo Continue Reading
