Bad Business by Nicole Edwards (Bad Boys of Sports #2) Publication Date: March 27, 2018 Contemporary/Sports Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Kini Favorite Quote: A blush reddens her skin from her chest to her cheeks, but she doesn’t move. “I’m gonna worship you,” I tell her, kissing her jaw. “And when I’m done making you come all over my face, I plan to fuck you until neither of us can breathe.” I like sports romance and combine that with a player getting involved with the owner’s daughter Continue Reading
Review: Escort by Skye Warren
Escort by Skye Warren Contemporary Romance Released: March 18, 2018 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I'm always game for escort books. In the past I've enjoyed Curio by Cara McKenna and Escorted by Claire Kent. Escort features a hero, Hugo, who is from Tangier (a big city in Morocco). At the age of fifteen, after his mother died, he fell in love with an older woman who started to teach him about sex (not a fan that he was only fifteen at this point. Not a fan at all). He thought Continue Reading

Review: Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan
Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan A Hoops Novel Contemporary Romance Released: March 22, 2018 Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: He tries to demean me with his words...his words are a dog with no bite. They have no teeth with me. But who needs teeth when you have fangs? There are roughly, 172,000 words in the English language. The average person knows 20,000-30,000 words and uses 3,000 of them commonly. Out of all these words at my disposal, I can't find enough of them to string together Continue Reading

Review: Exposed: A Romance Anthology
Exposed: A Romance Anthology Contemporary Romance March 13, 2018 Self-Published Reviewed by Kini I picked up this antho because it had several authors that I have never read and I thought this would be a good introduction to their writing. I have been in a reading slump so reading short stories was kind of perfect for me. I only read four of the stories and will give a brief review below. All the stories have the same general theme. One of the characters has been chosen to participate Continue Reading
Review: The Wolf Lord by Ann Aguirre
The Wolf Lord by Ann Aguirre Ars Numina, #3 PNR/Fantasy March 14, 2018 Self Published Favorite Quote: “Maybe a marriage of convenience to a wicked wolf wasn’t so bad after all.” Reviewed by Tori Roguish. Reckless. Unreliable. Raff Pineda has a certain reputation among the Animari. He’s the one to call if there’s a party starting, not the man to rely on when all hell breaks loose. Though he’s nominally the leader of the Pine Ridge pack, he defers to his second on the tough calls. Continue Reading
