Once Upon a Wedding- Guest Post by Barbara Samuel
Author Barbara Samuel stopped by to give us some info on her contribution to the Once Upon a Wedding anthology, out June 11th. I LOVE second chance romance and can't wait to read this. I love reunion romances. I mean, really. Who doesn’t wonder what if about some old sweetheart? Awhile back, I read a statistic that said that if a pair of former boyfriend/girlfriends meet many years later and both are single, they have a very high probability of getting Continue Reading

Sheena’s Wistful Wanton Wednesday: Ice Planet Honeymoon: Vektal & Georgie by Ruby Dixon
What better way to indulge in a little randy escapism, than to get lost in a Ice Planet romance novella- in June! The Ice Planet has two temperatures-freezing and brutal- but that does not get in the way of the wealth of love, humor and passion found in Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet Barbarian's series; a series that thankfully has no signs of losing steam or slowing down, 17 (yes, 17!) novels deep. Dixon's latest novella, Ice Planet Honeymoon: Vektal & Georgie revisit the couple that started Continue Reading
Smexy Deals!
Nightchaser by Amanda Bouchet- This was such a good book and $1.99 is a steal if you've had it on your TBR, but didn't like the $7.99 price tag.

Tess's best hope is a tall, dark, and much-too-appealing stranger, Shade Ganavan, who says he can help her. But his motivations are far from clear... Shade Ganavan: arrogance, Continue Reading
Review: The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez
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

Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!
Paula Quinn is one of those authors that moves me before I even read their novels. Just the idea of a Quinn release is enough to give me the warm and fuzzies along with the excited and squeelies. I anticipate and auto-buy her books so much because she delivers. Each and every time. The hero will be just what I need. Her heroines will be exactly who I want to champion and the story will be unique with the sweet hints of familiarity that make Quinn's world of Highlander romance so damn inviting. Continue Reading
