Thrive is a full-length companion novel to the Addicted and Calloway Sisters series. I have a feeling I would have enjoyed it more had I read it in the suggested order. As it is, I skipped this one when I devoured the entire series a year ago, and since I was missing the characters I decided to go back and read this book.
I don’t read much fantasy but I have to say that Rhapsodic is an intriguing story. It’s very complex and I’m enamored with the enigmatic hero, Desmond (aka The Bargainer or The King of the Night). I’m also drawn to Callie, a broken but resilient siren fueled by anger and lust.
The Trade is one s-l-o-w burn romance. The flame between Cory and Natalie actually burns hot right from the very beginning, but due to a combination of insecurities, misunderstandings, and fears, neither wants to act on their feelings. The sexual tension goes on and on forever and it just about tortured me to death. When they finally get together, though, Cory and Natalie set the sheets on fire! What a payoff!
I’m doing this backassward because I’ve already read the entire Addicted/Calloway Sisters series (I’m obsessed, okay?) but am only now reading this book. Ricochet bridges the gap between Addicted to You (book 1) and Addicted for Now (book 2). It spans the 90-day period that Lily and Lo are separated while Lo is in rehab for alcoholism and Lily seeks therapy for sex addiction.
This book was rude and raunchy, but also deeply emotional. I lapped it up. Nobody depicts a well-rounded view of a life inside a motorcycle club – the loyalty among club members, the devotion to family, the rough edges, the danger, the treatment of women, the sex – quite like Kristen Ashley.
This sweet read went down nice and easy, which is just what the doctor ordered in these turbulent times. Co-written by Corinne Michaels and Melanie Harlow, Imperfect Match shows what a great pair their make.
Guys, I’m so excited for this new book by one of my favorite authors. Queen Move is a second chance romance from RITA® Award-winning author Kennedy Ryan, and the cover is stunning! It releases May 26th and can be preordered today.
I don’t typically go for high school romances, but Dear Ava is a really well written enemies to lovers new adult story.
I’ve merged Whatever It Takes and Wherever You Are into one review because it’s a duet and there really isn’t a dramatic cliffhanger at the end of the first book. The second book is merely a seamless continuation of the story.
The freebies keep coming! One of my hands-down favorite authors, Jewel E. Ann, has offered two free books. Be sure to grab ONE and SCARLET STONE now because they won’t be free for long. Both books are available on Kindle and other devices, as well as for US and non-US readers!
Did someone say free books? With the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are self-quarantined at home. It’s easy to become a little stir-crazy, so it’s a great opportunity for bookworms to catch up on some reading. I am extremely grateful that so many authors have made their books free. Please note these deals are valid as of this posting, but are available for a limited time only. Some are Amazon exclusive offers while others are available on multiple online retailers.
This was a hard one to rate. I had higher expectations for Angry God, but I enjoyed the suspenseful nature of the book.
