Review: Cry Wolf by Charlie Adhara
Cry Wolf by Charlie AdharaBig Bad Wolf #5PNRJanuary 18, 2021 by Carina Press Review by Melinda This is probably one of the most underrated paranormal romances I can think of that I want more people to read. At first glance, it may be any wolf shifter paranormal, but there are so many Adhara layers in this world. I know not everyone loves following the same couple throughout a series and I'm not always a fan of it either. But I just love Cooper Dayton and Oliver Park so much. This Continue Reading

Review: The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent
The Unrequited by Saffron A. KentNew Adult and College RomanceJuly 17, 2017Self Published Review by Jen This book was recommended to me by my book club. It's a few years old, but sounded intriguing! My very quick, first thought on Goodreads was, “Excellent and awkward. Loved it, review to come…” I stand by that early assessment. Eeeekkk…what did I just read? Layla is a new student in college and sees a handsome, somewhat quirky, older guy on campus. Layla follows him to a classroom Continue Reading
Review: Would I Lie to the Duke by Eva Leigh
Would I Lie to the Duke by Eva Leigh(The Union of Rakes #2)July 28, 2020, by Avon Review by Kate Would I Lie to the Duke is a book I was looking forward to in 2020 (remember 2020? seventeen years ago?). I'll admit, I was lukewarm on My Fake Rake, the first book in The Union of Rakes series. It felt somewhat bland to me, but the Duke of Rotherby was a standout character, so I was very excited to read his happily ever after. Look - I have four highlights from My Fake Rake, and all of them Continue Reading

The Psy/Changeling Channel
Melinda: I discovered Nalini Singh's books back in 2012 but was overwhelmed at the idea of her long series. At that time I was reading more literary fiction and general fiction with romantic elements but have always loved paranormal stories, having grown up reading Christopher Pike's series. But my library had the entire Psy/Changeling series and once I read Slave to Sensation, I was so hooked! I tore through the first 5 books and then started buying the rest and binged Guild Hunter as well. Continue Reading
Review: Never His Girl by Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne
Never his Girl by Rachel Jonas and Nikki ThorneYA FictionDecember 26, 2020Self Published I inhaled this second book in the Kings of Cypress Prep series. The first book is The Golden Boys, and sadly, the third book isn’t going to be released until June. Cue my screaming. Book one ended on one hell of a cliffy. If you haven’t read it, skip this review, read book one and come on back. At the end of book one, the two main characters gave in to their chemistry and had sex. West, Continue Reading
Review: The Villain by L.J. Shen
The Villain by L.J. ShenNew Adult and College RomanceDecember 16th, 2020Self Published Reviewed by Jen The Villain by L.J. Shen is the second book in her Boston Belles spin-off series. The Villain is the story of Cillian, nickname Kill, and Persephone (Persy). Kill is the brother of Hunter from book one. Kill is cold, sharp, callous, ruthless, and fairly unredeemable for me. I’ve really enjoyed Shen’s books, but this one didn’t sit as well. A very good read, but not one I was completely Continue Reading
