Review: Stone Cold Heart by Laura Griffin
I really enjoy suspense books - I often listen to audio books and my number one genre isn't necessarily romance, but suspense. Although a side romance never hurts!

Stone Cold Heart by Laura GriffinTracers #13Romantic SuspenseFebruary 26, 2019 by Pocket Books The romance in this series is very Continue Reading

99 Percent Mine by Sally ThorneContemporary RomanceJanuary 29, 2019 by William Morrow Favorite Quote: I say up to the ceiling, "Tell me I smell right." He senses the uncertainty underlying my sharp order. "You smell like the only person." Sally Thorne's sophomore release has garnered mixed reviews.

Pilot and the Puck-Up by Pippa Grant- I actually read this a few weeks ago but I forgot about it. It’s been a hectic month, what can I say.

Joey, the heroine was a sarcastic and smart heroine, one of my favorite kinds. Zeus is a not so dumb hockey player. He is instantly smitten with her. I loved the way their relationship builds. Zeus loves Joey for her strengths Continue Reading

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

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
