A Rancher’s Song by Vivian Arend (Heart Falls #2) Contemporary Romance Released: May 15, 2018 Self Published Review by Helyce I was really excited to read Walker’s story after the teasers shared in book #1. I’d kind of imagined his story in my head because I knew that it had something to do with his music. I thought it would have been interesting to see how a guy from a ranching family, who also participated in rodeo events, would handle it if he found himself discovered and was offered Continue Reading

Melt For You by J.T. Geissinger (Slow Burn #2) Contemporary Romance May 15, 2018 Montlake Romance Reviewed by Helyce Favorite quote: “My sexual dry spell has been going on so long it’s less of a drought and more of a biblical pestilence.” I simply loved this book. In my opinion, Joellen is an awesome representation of so many women. I could relate to her and remember suffering from similar self-confidence issues in my younger years.

Smex Scene Sunday

They are witty, smart, violent and super sexy. Guys - I read this book before I owned a Kindle. WAS THERE SUCH A TIME??? Which means, I have to type out this scene by hand. #effort. This month, Ana Coqui is hosting #RomBkLove (both Continue Reading
