The Baller has everything I look for in a sports romantic comedy: a ballsy heroine, a cocky athlete, banter up the wazoo, real integration of the sport, and a mature relationship. Placing a checkmark in all those columns makes it seem formulaic; however, the characters really help elevate this story.
Licked is the first book I’ve read by Brooke Blaine, and I’ve got to say I love her writing style. It’s very reminiscent of Alice Clayton in its sexy humor, but with a quirky, irreverent flair.

Dying to read an excerpt from Porn Star by Laurelin Paige and Sierra Simone? Well, you’re in luck because I’ve got it for you here. The release date is just around the corner: March 8, 2016.
February 2016 was an ARC heavy month, but I managed to sneak in a couple books that have been on my To Be Read List. Luckily, the majority were 4- and 5-star reads. Here’s a wrap-up of my February reviews. February Book Haul I hit the jackpot in the bargain aisles this month, and I bought 12 books. Well, I received a signed copy of The Fall by the lovely Kate Stewart as a gift, so I didn’t actually buy that one. I only paid full price for one book though. The rest cost $4 or under. I love a good bargain! Bring on March!
This is such a sweet story. It’s a different type of sports romance where the sport of hockey is integral to the plot, and yet not a single game is played.
Did you know Sarina Bowen has been hard at work on a sexy new hockey series? The first book, Rookie Move, comes out September 6th 2016, and I’ve got the cover for you right here. Oh, and be sure to enter the giveaway at the bottom of the page. Just like Sarina, it’s super cool!
The Ground Rules Undone is the thrilling conclusion to The Rule Breakers trilogy. When we left off, Mirella was in one hell of a pickle. Told entirely from her point of view, this story focuses on the consequences of Mirella and Weston deviating from the rules. Unlike the previous books, there’s very little sex, yet the chemistry is still insane in this combustive love triangle.
Whew! Well, this book is aptly named. Virtually every chapter in the first half contains sex scenes. We’re talking panty melting, grab your fan, look-up-erotica-in-the-dictionary-and-see-this-book’s-cover sex scenes.
A risqué cover and a rom com blurb? Color me intrigued. Check out the cover of the Porn Star, the upcoming novel by Laurelin Paige and Sierra Simone.
Wow. The cover of Dark Notes by Pam Goodwin is beautiful! The synopsis sounds really good too.
This was kind of meh for me. I didn’t love it; I didn’t hate it. The plot is strong, and I found the first half really intriguing. I got sucked in by Mina’s hardships and Lev becoming her guardian angel. A lot of wonderful conflicts are set up, and I was looking forward to everything coming to a boil.
