The Temptation series is one of my favorites featuring the gay for you trope. True is the sixth and final book in the series. It has been four years since Logan first dared Tate to try having a relationship with a man, and in that time the two have been through ups and some devastating downs. They are well overdue for their happy ending.
This summer I have been leaning towards low drama, feel-good books to read, and The Guy on the Right fits perfectly in that category. It is a sweet friends to lovers romance that left a smile on my face.
Even with the focus on a loved one’s death, I was oddly engaged with The Last Letter. Unfortunately, the unrelenting tragedies eventually wore me down.
All Grown Up is a winning older woman/younger man romance that hits all the right notes.
Well, color me disappointed. I have loved, loved, LOVED the Shacking Up series. The books have charmed me, entertained me, and made me double over with laughter. While Making Up is entertaining, when compared to the other books, it doesn’t quite measure up.
Some Kind of Perfect is one huge epilogue of the combined Addicted/Calloway Sisters series. I’m talking about 664 pages—or 23 hours and 30 minutes, if you’re listening to the audiobook—packed with events that are destined to make fans fall even more in love with the characters.
Purely in terms of story execution, Best Laid Plans is pretty average. It’s not particularly original and, honestly, it’s predictable. Arden and Gabe are sweet characters and I really liked their bond. However, their denial/blindness, lack of communication, and Arden’s incessant worrying over potentially losing her friend are exhausting. The romantic build-up is nice and slow, and I appreciated the delayed gratification. While the book is fine for a light read, it’s the narration that makes the story most enjoyable.
This trilogy started out quite strong so it’s a shame that I’ve enjoyed each book less and less. The struggle to finish The Empire was real. If it had been a standalone, I might have thrown in the towel but I invested too much time to quit.
I had forgotten just how well Jewel E. Ann writes suspenseful fiction. Jersey Six is mind-blowing, nail biting, deliciously complex, and intriguingly dark. I. Loved. It. That’s really saying something because I don’t typically go for dark stories.
The Princess begins mere seconds after the heart-pounding ending of The Bastard.
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.
