Audiobook Review: Loverboy by Sarina Bowen
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!

Review: Moonlighter by Sarina Bowen
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.
New Release! Audiobook Review & Excerpt: Lies & Lullabies by Sarina Bowen
By all accounts, this ought to have been a home run. I have a huge soft spot in my heart for single parent romances, and it is very rare for me to not love a Sarina Bowen book. I’m bummed because while Lies & Lullabies is nice, the book lacks the luster I expected.
Review: Sure Shot by Sarina Bowen
Sarina Bowen is like my sports romance fairy godmother. Whenever I’m feeling down, she is there to wave her fictional magic wand and — poof! — I’m transported to a wonderful place where hockey players have soft hearts and and the women who love them share a tight bond. Sure Shot is exactly the sweet escape I needed. Bess Beringer is a sports agent with a solid reputation and one firm rule: never date athletes. With a successful business well in hand, Bess decides it’s time to pursue a fulfilling personal life. She is on the right path to making her dreams a reality until a blast from her past threatens to derail her plans.
Review: Heartland by Sarina Bowen
Sarina Bowen delivers a sweet and surprisingly emotional friends turned lovers romance in what is probably my favorite book in the True North series. I feel positively giddy after reading Heartland.
Review: Man Cuffed by Sarina Bowen & Tanya Eby
Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby are back with the latest standalone in their entertaining Man Hands series. Right off the bat I knew Man Cuffed would be a quirky romantic comedy.
Mini Audiobook Review: The Year We Hid Away by Sarina Bowen
It’s weird to go back and read some of Sarina Bowen’s older work because I think she’s a much better storyteller now. Overall, The Year We Hid Away is a pretty decent story with likable characters.
Review: Superfan by Sarina Bowen
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.
Review: Top Secret by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy
Imagine my surprise when one of my favorite writing duos unexpectedly released a new Male/Male book. I was pretty freaking excited when this appeared on my Kindle, let me tell you. I’m pleased to say Top Secret does not disappoint. If you are new to the M/M genre and are perhaps hesitant to give it a try, this is the perfect introduction. It’s funny, lighthearted, and sexy without being too graphic.
Audiobook Review: Brooklynaire by Sarina Bowen
The books in the Brooklyn Bruisers series have been hit or miss for me, but Brooklynaire is a friends-to-lovers story that hits all the right notes.
Review: Overnight Sensation by Sarina Bowen
Overnight Sensation scores big and delivers a healthy dose of sugar, a hint of spice, and a whole lot of nice.
Review: Fireworks by Sarina Bowen
I am a big fan of the True North series. I can’t get enough of the cozy Vermont town and the hard working, fun characters that live there. Fireworks is a second chance romance that has all the makings of a great addition to the series. Skye is my favorite part of the story. I related to her vulnerability and how she underestimates her worth. She is so loving and giving that I found myself wanting to fight all her battles.

There are quite a few aspects to keep you interested in this story in addition to the reunion. You have Benito’s major drug bust in the works, Skye’s creepy stepfather to contend with, the mystery of what went down around the time Skye left, and Skye’s job problems. It’s the story’s execution left me feeling lukewarm. It is told in alternating chapters from Skye’s and Benito’s perspectives—a pretty standard device in modern romances. There are also chapters that […]
