I’ve been a huge fan of Jodi Ellen Malpas ever since I read her This Man trilogy and One Night trilogy. I’m super excited to reveal the cover of The Protector. This highly anticipated standalone releases September 6th and is available for pre-order.
Cocky Bastard is a surprisingly sweet book about Aubrey, a somewhat repressed lawyer, and Chance, a spontaneous, flirtatious Aussie. Circumstances bring these two strangers together for a cross-country road trip, and along the way Chance helps Aubrey learn to embrace life’s opportunities while she helps open his heart.
Somebody find me a 12-step program because I am seriously addicted to this series. ARCs be damned. They’re going to have to wait. It only took me three days to read the first two books and I will start the final one, Trust, as soon as I finish writing this review.
I was lucky enough to read some pretty great romances in March. Hands down, my favorite book was Paper Princess by Erin Watt. It releases April 4th and I highly recommend you 1-click this angsty, addictive read. Fingers crossed that April brings even more fabulous new releases as well as old gems I haven’t discovered yet. Here’s a list of all the books I reviewed in March.
Try is the first book I’ve read by Ella Fox and only my second M/M book. It pushed me a little bit out of my comfort zone, but it was impossible for me to put down.
Whoa! The cover for Devil’s Kiss by Ella Frank is smoking! It’s the second book in Sunset Cove series, and it’s due to be released May 24th.
That Thing Between Eli & Gwen is a really cute story, but it took me awhile to warm up to it. Eli and Gwen meet on their worst day ever. Gwen’s fiancé runs away with Eli’s bride on his wedding day. He’s left at the altar, she’s left without a ride home, and they’re both left to suffer the public humiliation.
I’m a big CD Reiss fan so when I heard she was working on a sports romantic comedy—my latest addiction—I was all over that. I mean I stalked her Facebook page for updates, shamelessly drooled over the cover reveal, and was willing to sell my dog for an ARC. Well, he’s actually my husband’s dog, but still. This book is very different from the dark erotic novels for which Reiss is best know; however, there are enough sexy times to please most dirty birdies.
We are so excited to share the cover for THE ENDING I WANT by Samantha Towle. This book releases on May 10th and we can’t wait to read another Towle masterpiece!
This was a tough book for me to get through, and I can’t fault the quality of the writing because it’s excellent. Perhaps I should have paid closer attention to the blurb because it makes no secret of the fact that the main character, Sadie, enters into a love affair with her neighbor, Finn. In my mind though, there’s “justifiable” cheating in a fictional world where I’m rooting for the two cheaters to get together because the partner/spouse is so annoying, abusive, and obviously just plain wrong for the lead character. Things aren’t so cut and dry in Slip of the Tongue and the prolonged affair made me very uncomfortable.
Midnight Lily started out as a really strong 4.5 star read for me. I loved Holden’s struggle, the mystery surrounding Lily, and the way her love gave him the motivation to heal. Somewhere around the 70% mark though, the story seems to lose its way.
