Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Debra Anastasia, A. Jade, and Ella Maise

February 25, 2022 by Jen 4 Comments

I’m going to review these in order with the best being last. Here we go! First up is Mercy by Debra Anastasia. New author to me that I listened to over the course of several days. Zachery Webber and Muffy Newtown are the narrators. I would listen to Webber read the dictionary. That’s how much I love his voice. Newtown didn’t do it for me, she’s sort of too breathless and didn’t feel like the right voice for her character.  Main characters Phoenix (nickname - Nix) and Becca first meet Continue Reading

August 16, 2021 by Angela 1 Comment

What We May Be by Layla ReyneLGBTQ Contemporary Romance/Romantic Suspense8/16/2021 Self PublishedARC Reviewed by Angela I ain't even gonna lie, I saw this cover and was IMMEDIATELY intrigued. I hadn't even read the blurb yet and I was already ready to jump right in. LOL. Okay, so then I finally read the blurb and discovered this was a throuple second chance romance and that pretty much sealed the deal. What We May Be starts off with a bang (literally), introducing its three main Continue Reading

From the Embers by Aly MartinezContemporary Romance/Romantic SuspenseApril 28, 2021 Self PublishedReview by Jen From the Embers by Aly Martinez was SO good!

May 27, 2021 by Jen 7 Comments

Still Beating by Jennifer HarmannRomantic Suspense/Dark RomanceDecember 20, 2020Review by Jen Still Beating is a heart-breaking, uncomfortable, provocative and brilliant read.

Warning, many, many triggers, including rape.  Cora is at a bar celebrating her sister Mandy’s birthday. Cora ends up staying out late, well past when her sister and friends left Continue Reading

March 22, 2021 by Melinda 3 Comments

All the Missing Pieces by Julianna KeyesRomantic Suspense/Mystery ThrillerSeptember 21, 2020 Review by Melinda I've read this author before in more of a straight up contemporary romance genre so I was really interested in reading this but throughout the whole book I was unsure if this was romance or suspense so I kept thinking HEA or NO!?! Let me put your mind at ease that there *is* an HEA! Reese was a spoiled rich girl whose life got turned upside down when her father was sent to prison Continue Reading

Review: The Finish Line by Kate Stewart

February 3, 2021 by Jen 4 Comments

The Finish Line by Kate Stewart

The Finish Line by Kate StewartRomantic SuspenseJanuary 24, 2021, by KLS PressReview by Jen I couldn’t wait to read The Finish Line by Kate Stewart. Exodus (book two) did end with an HEA. But, it never really sat completely well with me. I LOVED the story…but I didn’t feel as satisfied with Tobias and Cecelia’s HEA as I wanted to be. Did they REALLY belong together, and I wanted more backstory on Tobias before I could truly support him vs Cecelia’s first love, Sean. I was squarely Continue Reading
