I don’t read many Cowboy books these days. No real reason, they just kind of fell off my radar. A few weeks back, Forever Romance was doing an Instagram Read-A-Long of Big Bad Cowboy by Carly Bloom. They posted a quote that piqued my interest (that I can’t find now) and I messaged my friend Estelle, publicist extraordinaire at Forever, and said “I’m going to have to read this, aren’t I?” Estelle was kind enough to send me an e-ARC of Big Bad Cowboy. I dove right in. I had already had A Cowboy to Continue Reading
Guest Post: Romantic Comedy author Tawna Fenske shares her five favorite rom-com films
Tawna stopped by to talk about rom-com films. Tawna has a new book out this week called The Two-Date Rule I have a confession. Well, several of them, but most aren’t fit for public blog posts. My confession is that I do not actually enjoy movies. I don’t like television, either. There is one in my home, though I have no idea how to operate it. But once in a while, my film-loving husband will wear me down, and I’ll agree to watch something on a flickering screen. Sometimes, I even Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by T. Kingfisher and Ella Maven
I discovered that T. Kingfisher was releasing another book in her Temple of the White Rat world when I was putting together the new release post. To say I was excited would be an understatement, I hit that pre-order one-click button so hard. This author has quickly become one of my favorites in the fantasy genre and I will set aside everything else when I see she has a new release. Paladin’s Grace is heavier on the romance (which I loved) than the other books set in this world. The Clockwork Continue Reading

Guest Post: Flutter My Eyelashes! Heroines Can Be Over Thirty by Cathy Maxwell
The heroine in HIS SECRET MISTRESS, the first book in “The Logical Men’s Society’s Guide to Dangerous Women,” is thirty-five. Yes, I did that. Kate is over thirty. And she has . . . sex! And if you are over thirty, I hope you are having plenty of sex, too. In fact, I suspect you probably are having better sex than you did in your twenties. Maybe not as much, but, hopefully, better. We know what to ask for now, right? When I wrote this story, I wasn’t thinking about Continue Reading

Kini’s Friday Kisses- Mini reviews for Valentine’s Day Novellas by Jodie Slaughter, Erin McLellan, and Jackie Lau
I had every intention of writing this last week in time for Valentine’s Day, but I didn’t. But even though that day has passed, I still want to tell you about the Valentine’s Day novellas I read. Apparently I only read in themes/sets of three now. Next week I will have a round-up of a trio of Cowboy books :) Anyway, back to this week. First Up- Just One More by Jodie Slaughter. I REALLY wanted to love this story. I really enjoyed White Whiskey Bargain last year. The cover of this is Continue Reading
Sheena’s TBR Takedown!- An Hysterical Historical by Suzanne Enoch
Anyone who promises wild and wicked Highland romance has snagged me hook, line and sinker. Scot Under the Covers by Suzanne Enoch not only has a DAMN, YES MA'AM! cover, the blurb hinted at a plot ripe with tricks and games of intrigue. Will they, won't they!?- Of course they will- this is HEA through and through, but the journey to the happy ending was a riot. And I guess I'll start there. I didn't expect this novel to be as freaking funny as it was! Historical romances often have lots of winks Continue Reading
Guest Post: Tropes at Work in ONE LAST CHANCE by Therese Beharrie
I’ve published fourteen books in my career so far. Of those fourteen, six have been second chance romances. ONE LAST CHANCE, the third book in my ONE DAY TO FOREVER series, will be the seventh. I’m clearly a fan of the trope, partly because there are so many ways of exploring it, and partly because I only need the chance of a romance the first time around not to work out to define it as a second chance romance. But the one thing all of my second chance romances have in common is that Continue Reading
