Call me a softy, but Until It Fades really tugged at my heartstrings. Having read a lot of romantic comedies and erotic books lately, it was refreshing to read a story that has a little more depth to it but still retains the romantic elements that I enjoy.
The WAGs series revolves around characters finding love while navigating the world of professional hockey. Stay is the second standalone in this highly entertaining series, and it strikes all the right notes.
Infini by Krista and Becca Ritchie is an epic young adult forbidden romance. Lucka and Baylee are best friends turned teenage lovers. They are both members of a Cirque du Soleil style acrobatic circus, and unfortunately for them teenage cast members are forbidden to date. Breaking this firm rule results in pain and sets in motion serious repercussions that span nearly a decade.
I finished The Knocked Up Plan hours ago and I’m still smiling! I consider myself to be a bit of a romantic comedy connoisseur, and this book has all the necessary elements to make it extraordinarily entertaining:
Hearts on Air is an enjoyable second chance romance involving two former best friends turned lovers.
“This story is not about me falling in love. This story is about me learning to live again after love left my life.” This book was a nice surprise. I expected a book that deals with the five stages of grieving to be gut wrenching so I’d put off reading it until a day when I was in the mood for a good cry and when I was stocked up on Puffs. Undoubtedly, there are many sad times but the first chapter was the only one I thought was truly heartbreaking (okay, and maybe another towards the end). Those occasions are outweighed by many uplifting moments throughout the book.
It’s been a few years since I read the original Driven trilogy. K. Bromberg has expanded the series since then, but Colton and Riley remain my favorite couple. Aced is a nice way to fill in the gap between the end of their story and the epilogue.
All I Am is a quick and sexy little spin off of Jodi Ellen Malpas’s wildly successful This Man series. The plot centers around Drew in this story. It’s been so long since I’ve read the trilogy that I completely forgot who Drew was at first, but there’s enough exposition that your memory will be easily refreshed. FYI, Drew is one of Jesse’s two best mates.
I wasn’t prepared for Hot Cop to be so entertaining, but man did I enjoy it. Laurelin Paige and Sierra Simone show they are an impressive pair in this amusing romance that is both enticingly erotic and delectably sweet at the same time.
My experience reading paranormal romance is limited. I read the Twilight series a billion years ago—I’ll wait while you roll your eyes—and the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries—which I think are awesome by the way and much better than True Blood, the TV series. Other than those, I’ve only read a handful of PNR books. While I’ve enjoyed many of them, it’s just not my favorite genre, so I admit I the blurb for Sugar & Gold gave me pause. I love Emma Scott, though, so I decided to give the book a chance and I’m really glad I did.
The Foxe & the Hound by R.S. Grey was the perfect romantic comedy to charm me out of my rainy day funk.
There are different kinds of love triangles, but the type depicted in One is a Promise is my favorite because there is no cheating and no clear “right” choice for the heroine. This is the first book in Pam Godwin’s new Tangled Lies trilogy.
