Review ♥ Raw Need by Cherrie Lynn
I really struggled my way through Raw Need. I had a sense of detachment from the characters almost from the very beginning, but I hoped that my opinion might improve given time. It didn’t.

Review: Grip by Kennedy Ryan
I apologize in advance to the author of the next book I read. Their book may be wonderful, but there’s no way right now that it can live up to the way Grip by Kennedy Ryan touched me. The feels! Oh my goodness, the feels! I’ve lost the ability to even. My book hangover is a living, breathing, horrible/wonderful thing. I read the free prequel, Flow, yesterday morning because I’d heard good things about it, and hey… free. I loved it and immediately 1-clicked this full-length conclusion. Thankfully, I had the day off, so I stayed in my PJs and dived straight into Grip. This story sunk its claws into me and would not let me go. I didn’t come up for air until I finished.
Review: Flow by Kennedy Ryan
Flow surprised me. It is the prequel to the full-length standalone novel, Grip. I tend to lower my expectations for books as short as Flow. The storytelling is typically rushed, leaving readers with a flat perception of the characters and an overall unsatisfied feeling. Flow is a wonderful exception.
Review ♥ Unwritten by Jen Frederick
Jen Frederick rocks the heck out of this rock star romance. All the ingredients are there to make Unwritten an entertaining read, and the result is quite successful.
Review ♥ Franco by Kim Holden
I have enjoyed all of Kim Holden’s books. They are thoughtful, uplifting and frequently stirring, and each book celebrates the power of the human spirit. Franco is no different.
New Release Review ♥ Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll by Sawyer Bennett
Two adjectives that describe Sawyer Bennett’s books: versatile and seductive. She does romantic suspense, romantic comedy, and erotica equally well. Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll is another feather in her talented cap.
Review ♥ Where Lightning Strikes by A.L. Jackson
This is one of those instances where the book gets better the further along you go. The problem is Where Lightning Strikes takes way too long to get to the good stuff.
Review ♥ Gus by Kim Holden
I think Bright Side is a flawless book, so even though I was curious about what happens next with Gus, I was hesitant to read this continuation of the story. I mean, how does an author successfully follow up an emotional five-star read? I have no idea, but Kim Holden makes it look easy with Gus.
Review & Excerpt: Idol by Kristen Callihan
Idol definitely satisfied by rock star romance craving. The typical formula for this trope goes something like this. A rock god lives a life filled with tons of groupie sex. He meets the one woman who won’t jump into bed with him which makes him want her even more. Once they hook up, he’s reformed and becomes a one-woman man. Regardless of its predictability, it’s a setup that works for me. Idol enhances that theme and it’s a nice variation.
Review ♥ Backstage Pass by Olivia Cunning
This is book porn, plain and simple. I like my smut in small amounts, and I practically overdosed while reading Backstage Pass. There’s a ton of sex—like scene after scene after scene of E-R-O-T-I-C sex—but virtually no plot.
Sweet Ache by K. Bromberg
I’ve been in love with K. Bromberg’s Driven series since the very beginning. The characters in her books have heart, the bonds between friends are impenetrable, the humor flows, and there is always an underlying poignancy to elevate the stories from being more than just over-sexed romanced novels. Sweet Ache is no exception.
