New Release Review: For Lucy by Jewel E. Ann
Getting a 5-star review from me these days is like drawing water from a stone. For Lucy, though, had me captivated from Chapter One, and I knew in my soul that I was on the road to 5 stars.

Review: Wicked Choice by Sawyer Bennett
This book sparked my interest because I like surprise pregnancy tropes. Wicked Choice is particularly enjoyable because it involves two tough mercenaries and somewhat of a role reversal. The woman doesn’t want a baby, but the baby daddy does.
Review: The Finish Line by Kate Stewart
The Ravenhood series was only intended to be a duet. I devoured Flock and Exodus. The plot is unique, riveting, and twisted, but they are not easy reads. I managed to keep my sanity intact, however, with the help of some Tums, screamed obscenities, wine, and therapy sessions courtesy of Facebook spoiler groups. The Finish Line was going to be an extended epilogue but it turned into a full-length novel. Some epilogues are simply a nice bonus, but this book? I had no idea just how much I needed to read it.
Review: Wicked Wish by Sawyer Bennett
This is the first book I’ve read in the Wicked Horse series, but I know Sawyer Bennett is a queen in the world of erotica. Wicked Wish is a brother’s best friend forbidden romance with some serious X-rated kink.
Review: One More Round by Alice Clayton
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.
Release Blitz & Review: Not What I Expected by Jewel E. Ann
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.
Review: Forever Wild by K.A. Tucker
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.
Review: The F List by Alessandra Torre
What a surprising little treat from Alessandra Torre. The F List is totally different from the other books I’ve read by her. There’s no suspense, no big twists, no dark subject matter, and *gasp* no sex. It’s just a light, super quick read.
Review: Playing with Fire by L.J. Shen
Playing with Fire shows off the softer — but no less angsty — side of L.J. Shen’s writing. Her stories frequently feature alphaholes — truly despicable men of privilege that you hate to love. This book isn’t about bored little rich bullies. It’s about misunderstood misfits, about loss, and rising above one’s demons.
Review: The Girl in the Love Song by Emma Scott
The Girl in the Love Song is a friends-to-lovers new adult story that is custom made for angst junkies like me.
Blog Tour, Review & Excerpt: Out of Love by Jewel E. Ann
Jewel E. Ann’s Jack & Jill trilogy remains one of my all-time favorites. It’s unique, suspenseful, funny, tragic, and romantic. While I hated saying goodbye to the characters I’d grown to adore, the ending was so satisfying that I didn’t dare ask for more. When I found out Jewel was writing Out of Love as a spinoff, my first thought was, “Don’t f*ck it up!” And she didn’t.
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.
