Review: Let’s Talk About Sext by Evie Claire
I picked this up because I thought it was going to be about a couple who texts/sexts a lot. At least enough to make it in to the title. I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t more texting. There was some, but not as must as I wanted. That is probably me just being nit-picky though. And that is how I roll. While I am talking about the little things in this book that bothered me, I want to mention that the word “girl” was used 63 times. The heroine, Phebe is a ball busting project manager Continue Reading

Charming as Puck by Pippa GrantContemporary/Romantic ComedyFebruary 1, 2019 Self Published Favorite Quote: "May we someday find men who love us as much as we love each other." Another super sexy, super fun Pippa Grant hockey romance. This time it's Nick's turn to get his HEA and his heroine, Kami, is his sister's best friend. I really liked this couple!

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

The first part of the year hasn’t been great for reading for me. Just a lot of things going on. Nothing Personal by Karina Halle- I really enjoyed some of Halle’s earlier books, but either my reading preferences have changed a lot or she has changed her writing style. This book felt like a bit of a mess to me. I think it was supposed to be funny but I didn’t really find humor in it. The beginning was a bit heavy on calling women skanks (Nova’s ex cheated on her in Vegas with a Continue Reading

I didn't get nearly as much reading done in the last week as I wanted to do. I vow to read at least one book over the New Year holiday though. The Accidental Beauty Queen by Teri Wilson- This book had a cute blurb and was described as a cross between The Parent Trap (Lindsay Lohan version is my fave) and Miss Congeniality, which I also enjoyed. Sadly, the book was pretty much a disappointment. The heroine, Charlotte, is a librarian and ends up filling in for her sister in a beauty Continue Reading

Holy shit, this is both incredibly sweet and incredibly fucking stupid." Friends to lovers is Continue Reading

What I read this week: Captive Desire by Robin Lovett Planet of Desire #2 Erotic Science Fiction Romance November 19, 2018 by Entangled Publishing Favorite Quote: She is everything. She is all there is. Her body is my universe. For now. I've been reading quite a bit of fantasy/urban fantasy/science fiction romance lately. This might sound weird, but when I feel like everything is a total dumpster fire I want stories that completely sweep me away to another world. Captive Desire is Continue Reading
