Fall by Kristen Callihan VIP#3 Contemporary Romance October 23, 2018 Plane Jane Books Fans have waited breathlessly for this installment in Callihan's steamy and emotionally deep VIP series. Rich in sensory detail and boldly unapologetic, in Fall, Callihan tackles the serious issues of mental health, self-harm, depression, and abuse with compassion and a heavy dose of common sense while building a romance that brims with laughter and heart. Jax aka John Blackwell, lead singer for the band Kill Continue Reading

Review: Fall by Kristen Callihan

October 19, 2018 by Kini 1 Comment

This book was a reading week filled with books with heavier topics and I ended up writing omg reviews about both books I read Fall by Kristen Callihan  This book is third in her VIP Series. The last one was published almost two years ago and while I read both previous books, I don’t remember a lot of the details. But I recall enjoying them and remembering Jax as the broody band member who had also previously attempted suicide. This book touches on Jax’s attempted suicide, although not in Continue Reading

Secrets of a (Sometimes) Sunny Girl by Karen Booth

Secrets of a (Sometimes) Sunny Girl by Karen Booth

I am a fan of Booth’s after having read her second-chance rock & roll book, Bring Me Back several years ago. I also belong to a Facebook group that she co-started called Seasoned Romance, focused on romances with older (40+) characters. All this to say I am a Booth fan and I was pretty excited to get this ARC. Second chance romance is one of my favorite tropes. I read this book knowing it is labeled Romance & Women’s Fiction and both are true. I love when authors, publishers, etc help Continue Reading

Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts

My slump has officially ended-for the time being anyway. I don’t think my review for Winter Cottage does the book justice--but I always struggle with reviewing books that I’ve really enjoyed.  It’s so difficult NOT to say too much and give it all away. So I censor myself and feel like I’m not giving the story it’s true props! I think this story would make a fantastic movie for Hallmark or Lifetime.  And, interesting piece of information--Mary Ellen Taylor is Mary Burton, which I didn’t learn Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses

This was a moderate reading week for me that had some meh reads. Steeped in Love by Julie Evelyn Joyce. This blurb makes it seem like this book will be a cutesy story as the heroine is back in the dating world. She read the tea leaves of potential mates and uses the findings as a reason to not date them. The hero is the writer in residence at the local coffee shop. They meet. Have great banter. He eavesdrops on her dates, then over time gets jealous and then finally asks her Continue Reading

Review: How She Likes it by Carla de Guzman

Review: How She Likes it by Carla de Guzman

How She Likes it by Carla de Guzman Romance Contemporary 2018 Midnight Books Reviewed by Kini I picked this book up after seeing it teased on Twitter. Guzman is part of #romanceclass on Twitter and this was my first read by her. The heroine is an heiress and the hero is her assistant. I love when an author uses this trope and I was curious to see how the power dynamic would be portrayed. It was no squicky at all and worked well for me. Isabel is the CEO of a make-up company and in Continue Reading

What Mandi Has Been Reading

First, the good stuff. And oooooooh, have I fallen in love with a series. This has been out for  years, and for all those years I've seen people rave about it on Twitter, and I had it sitting in my TBR. And now I've read book one, A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, and I'm halfway through book two, A Court of Mist and Fury, and I'm. In. Love.  Book one starts maybe a tiny bit slow, and although I was ready to give it four solid star, when I hit the 70% mark (for those that have Continue Reading

Review: Saddle Up by A.M. Arthur

Review: Saddle Up by A.M. Arthur

Saddle Up by A.M. Arthur (Clean Slate Ranch #3)Released: September 17, 2018M/M RomanceCarina Press Reviewed by Mandi Although there are some darker subject matters in this book, I still found it to be a very sweet, and feel good book. And with that being said, I also found it a little hard to get totally engaged - as everything was just too predictable...and well...a little too sweet. (Am I a jaded and bitter reader????) Miles is a sous chef with an obsessive, stalker ex-boyfriend. This Continue Reading

Ariel is has been Continue Reading

Seven Smexy Reasons to read Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh!

September 19, 2018 by Sheena 3 Comments

Rebel Hard by Nalini Singh Hard Play, #2 9/18/2018 TKA Distribution Review by Sheena You guys. Whatever the lung friendly equivalent to smoking a cigarette is, I'm totally doing it. Because how else do you cap off the reading of such a fulfilling, romantic, decadent, beautiful love story?  You see, Rebel Hard was destined to be devoured. Not just because Singh is an auto-read, not just because the cover  is yum. The blurb folks; the synopsis sang a siren's song to all of my reader senses. Continue Reading
