Colleen Hoover has hit me in the feels once again with this poignant tale. She has a knack for creating identifiable and intriguing characters and then weaving them into an absorbing storyline. Romance is an important aspect in the plot, but the heart of Regretting You is the complicated relationship between a mother and daughter.
After reading The Friend Zone, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to learn about Sloan’s journey. I knew her story would be compelling, and The Happy Ever After Playlist is.

89 pages packed full of perfection! One More Round is like one big nuanced and completely satisfying epilogue to Caroline and Simon’s love story. It’s been at least five years since I read the books that made me a fan so some of the details were fuzzy, but this novella does a superb job interweaving key highlights without it sounding like mundane exposition.
Once again, I must declare a mea culpa. I read Rusty Nailed, which is the follow-up to Alice Clayton’s Wallbanger, five years ago but neglected to post the review when I started this blog. I’m making up for it now by publishing my old review of Rusty Nailed.
It’s been years since I read Wallbanger. It’s one of my favorite books by Alice Clayton, and I can’t believe my review has been hanging out on Goodreads and I never posted it, or my review for the follow-up, Rusty Nailed, on the blog. I’m correcting this travesty immediately. So, without further ado, I present my review from five years ago!
I’m trying to find something nice to say but I’ve got nothin’. There’s a whole lot wrong here, but I have two main complaints…
“I placed two layers of duct tape over Layla’s mouth before I came downstairs, but I can still hear her muffled screams as the detective takes a seat at the table.” The very first sentence in Layla had me instantly covered in goosebumps, fully invested in the story. I knew Colleen Hoover had a darker side after reading her phenomenal thriller Verity, and I was all too happy to be sucked into her vortex of romantic suspense once again — this time with a paranormal spin.
First of all, hallelujah for a romance involving mature adults! Women don’t cease to be desirable the moment they turn 40. Their sex drive doesn’t just shrivel up and die. Elsie is 42 and just starting to hit her sexual stride. Can I get an Amen? But I digress.
Loverboy is exactly the light diversion I needed. The co-owner of a cybersecurity agency goes undercover as a barista in a plucky heroine’s pie shop. Pie. Lattes. Mystery. Romance. Sold!
I will happily read anything written by Sarina Bowen, but Moonlighter was just okay for me. I loved Alex’s intelligence and independence. Eric is such a steady and faithful sweetheart to his teammates, his family, and Alex.
Thank you, K.A. Tucker, for this wonderful treat! I absolutely loved The Simple Wild duet and this novella made me want to read the series all over again.
