Review: Wild at Heart by K.A. Tucker
The Simple Wild was a solid 5-star read for me and, fortunately, this supremely satisfying sequel is everything I hoped it would be. Wild at Heart is filled with humor and heartwarming emotion. Another 5 stars.

Review: The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker
After the longest dry spell, I finally found the perfect book for me at just the right time. I swear the planets aligned and angels sang. I could not sleep until I finished The Simple Wild, and when I reached the end at 4:30 am I had the goofiest smile on my face.
Audiobook Review: Dear Enemy by Kristen Callihan
Dear Enemy, as the title suggests, is an enemies to lovers story. The romance is of the slow burn variety that I always enjoy.
Review: Exodus by Kate Stewart
Oh man. Exodus, the conclusion of The Ravenhood Duet, is every bit the dark and twisted rollercoaster it is billed to be. Full disclosure: dark romances are hit or miss for me. I connect with some more easily than others. This one left me feeling too raw, too mentally and emotionally exhausted — with not enough payoff.
Audiobook Review: Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorensen
I was hesitant when I found out about this new series of books penned by various authors and set within Penny Reid’s book universe—-specifically in the Green Valley town that is home to the Winston brothers. I wasn’t sure another author could do justice to the kooky but heartwarming vibe I’d grown to love. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit if Baking Me Crazy didn’t make me a believer.
Review: Flock by Kate Stewart
I pulled an all-nighter reading Flock and my mind is reeling. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from the plot because the synopsis is frustratingly ambiguous. Now that I’m familiar with this very original story, I’m still trying to process what I read.
Audiobook Review: The Birthday List by Devney Perry
The Birthday List is a story of loss and new beginnings. I can see how some might find it inspirational. When life deals you a devastating blow, it’s easy to wallow in grief. The fact that Poppy is motivated to get back up and push through her pain is wonderful.
Review: Engagement and Espionage by Penny Reid
I’m a diehard Penny Reid fan. Her brainy, witty characters have charmed me more times than I can count, and I’m glad I can hang onto the ones carried over from the Winston Brothers series. Sadly, though, even Cletus (one of my favorite characters) couldn’t make Engagement and Espionage a big win for me. I guess I just expected more from the first book in this spinoff series.
Review: Charming Like Us by Krista & Becca Ritchie
I confess I’m a huge fan of the Like Us series. I’m totally obsessed with the famous families and the entire team of colorful bodyguards that protect them. I’m bummed that Charming Like Us didn’t knock my romance-loving socks off, but I still enjoyed reading it. I guess I’m still coming down off my Maximoff and Farrow high from Headstrong Like Us. I’m starting to think no other couple can touch them.
Release Blitz & Review: Hard to Handle by K. Bromberg
Hard to Handle is book one in K. Bromberg’s new Play Hard series, which centers around four sisters trying to save their family’s sports management firm. I was pleasantly surprised by how touching it is.
Review: Head Over Heels by Hannah Orenstein
I’ve been obsessed with the Olympic games – gymnastics, in particular – since I was a young girl. Every four years, I find myself glued to my television, cheering on Team U.S.A. When I found out Head Over Heels was a romance centered around a gymnast training for the Olympics, the decision to read it was a no-brainer.
Audiobook Review: Strong Enough by Melanie Harlow & David Romanov
Melanie Harlow and debut author David Romanov do a wonderful job blending their writing styles in this touching M/M romance.
