Hello Forever is another example of just how sweet and real Sarina Bowen’s M/M romances are. That’s not to say there’s no heat, but the focus is on the emotional connection between the main characters.
Brooke Blaine is an auto buy author for me. Her new standalone MM romance, A Little Bit Like Love, is coming July 27th! I’m happy to reveal the beautiful cover.
King of Code by CD Reiss is an all-new standalone releasing September 18th, 2017. The plot sounds really intriguing! Here’s a first look at the cover. It’s as stylish and classy as I’ve come to expect from her books.
Two is a Lie is the second book in the Tangled Lies trilogy, and Pam Godwin mic drops the hell out this turbulent story. I thought the love triangle was fairly easy to handle in the first book, but apparently that was just foreplay. Two is a Lie is like Kryptonite to angst junkies, and only three things got me through this book: ranting on social media, lots of red wine, and a bottle of Tums. True story.
Can’t wait until Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland releases? Don’t worry. I’ve got you covered. Enjoy this excerpt!
You win some; you lose some. This story never got off the ground for me, and I struggled my way through The Red.
Wow. Take Me Back is nothing like I expected.
The kids and I celebrated the last day of school in June, which left more time for my favorite pastime: reading! What a fantastic month for June 2017 releases. I read some great older books, but all of my 5-star reads were books released in June. My top three favorites were When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann, Before It Fades by K.A. Tucker, and The Knocked Up Plan by Lauren Blakely. Check out the books reviewed in June, and see how I’m doing with my 2017 Reading Goals.
Once upon a time, I read every military romance I could get my hands on. After finishing several series, I moved on to other genres. Chanel Cleeton is a new-to-me author, and based on my friend Eliza’s recommendation, I decided to dip my toes back into the military romance pool with the Wild Aces series. I’m so glad I read Fly With Me because it reminded me of why I enjoy this trope so much.
I really struggled my way through Raw Need. I had a sense of detachment from the characters almost from the very beginning, but I hoped that my opinion might improve given time. It didn’t.
