I freely admit that I’ve got a huge appetite for single parent romances, and Getting Played is the crème de la crème. Emma Chase is my go-to author for romantic comedy, so I’m not surprised that she delivers once again in a big way.
I like to imagine that Sarina Bowen has as much fun writing the Brooklyn series as I have reading it. Superfan is a mood-lifting delight and a great addition to my sports rom com library.
Stuck With You is pretty standard fare for a novella. It sits firmly in the didn’t love it, didn’t hate it category for me.
I have yet to read a book by Taylor Jenkins Reid that I haven’t loved, so I am not surprised that I inhaled Daisy Jones & The Six in one sitting. She manages to take an interesting story and make it exceptional by telling it in an innovative way.
I was hooked on The Bastard from the first chapter with its fast pace and intense emotions. The story left me eager for more, despite some flaws that would normally have me giving the book a lower rating.
I think I set myself up for disappointment with Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune. I expected an epic Like Water for Chocolate meets The Joy Luck Club tale. What I got was a cute story, but one that failed to hold my interest.
The Bride Test is a solid follow-up to Helen Hoang’s debut smash hit, The Kiss Quotient.
Cake is on the longish side, but I still enjoyed it very much. This is one of those rock star romances where you have enough time to get a true sense of what daily life is like for one of the world’s most famous musicians—from glamorous things such as dealing with mega fans and headlining a European tour, to ordinary things like going to family barbeques and shopping at Target.
I may not have gone gaga over Jock Rule the way I did with Jock Row, but I was still very entertained. This time we get to party at the rugby house on Jock Row.
This was a nice little quickie. Actually, Cocky Client has the potential to be a really enjoyable full-length book. I’m kind of surprised Whitney G. chose to write this fun and sexy story as a novella instead.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is an epic Hollywood romance that examines what it takes to achieve success on the big screen. I was on the fence about reading historical fiction, but I needn’t have worried. This book is riveting.
L.J. Shen is a master at dishing out seemingly irredeemable characters that you love to hate and serving them up with massive side of angst. Pretty Reckless kicks off the All Saints High series, which is a spinoff of the wickedly addictive Sinners of Saint series. (Side note: Although these series revolve around high school students, they are definitely on the New Adult side.) Defy readers will remember the scandalous affair between Jaime Followhill and Melody Greene. Daria is their daughter.
