Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley My rating: 5 of 5 stars This author never disappoints me! I love the writing in this series so much. I enjoy getting to know the characters better and better throughout the books – including the ones we met in past books. I also really love the mafia trope […]
King Bastard by India Kells My rating: 5 of 5 stars Queue the muscle and tension! I haven’t read the previous books but I think even though i didn’t know the backstory, I could still make sense of everything! I’ll definitely be going back to read the others though! I really loved that Sasha and […]
Conveniently Yours by Anise Storm My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved this book simply because of the “not all peaches and roses” theme it had! I really appreciated the banter between the two main characters and how they had tension but came together in the end. I really enjoyed how it was purely […]
Blood Oath by Amy McKinley My rating: 5 of 5 stars I actually really appreciated the slower burn and getting to know the characters for who they were aside from the little bit we learned in the first book. I also really enjoyed learning about their history and how it affected them in their current […]
The Groomsman by Marina Hanna My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a good fall read for me! I really enjoyed the angst between them and how it created this trust in the end for them. At first I wasn’t really sure if it was going to be any different from other romance novels […]
Rock Me To The Top by Victoria Zak My rating: 5 of 5 stars I haven’t read the rockstar trope yet but I really did love it! I loved the innocence of the story and how we got to know the thoughts in both of their heads. I think having the rockstar theme in along […]
Stranded: Cetacea Chronicles Volume 1 by Feather Chelle My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read this with my 4 year old and while he didn’t quite have the attention span to pay attention the whole time we read (we sat down a few different times to read a little) he still seemed to be […]
No Strings Attached by Lara Ward Cosio My rating: 5 of 5 stars It was a page turner for sure! It’s been a little while since I read a book that quickly and it had the perfect amount of story and steam. I loved the inner dialogue of Kay because if I were in that […]
Ride For Me by Vi Summers My rating: 5 of 5 stars While I’m not typically a slow burn romance reader, I loved this one because the character details were so real and I was sucked into learning about them and before I knew it, I was into the romance part. I love love LOVED […]
Gone Country by Katrina Marie My rating: 5 of 5 stars My favorite part about this book was the fact that it is so relatable. You have a guy who got his heart broken and a girl who works her butt off and you get a romance that you can totally see in your own […]
No Way Out by Amy McKinley My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was definitely a page turner for me! I was so invested in the story and kept wanting to know what was going to happen next, which isn’t surprising for me since Amy McKinley’s other books were like that for me as well. […]
Caught by Him by Tammy Mannersly My rating: 5 of 5 stars Read this one on a weekend and it was definitely the quick read that I was looking for! I loved the instant attraction they had and the loyalty that the main characters showed each other from the start. It had its witty moments […]
Jake the Growling Dog Shares His Trail by Samantha Shannon My rating: 5 of 5 stars I read this story with my oldest, who is 4 years old. Although it seems like it would be better for older kids, I still think the lesson resonated with my 4 year old as well! It was a […]
Repair by Trish Williford My rating: 5 of 5 stars So so sweet! I loved how it gave the backstory and helped build the world they were currently living in. It was so realistic and relatable – I wanted MORE at the end! I would love to follow their story and see where life takes […]
Dark Bastard by India Kells My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really loved the story line and how we got to see a glimpse into their thoughts. I haven’t read a story with those triggers before but I am glad I read this one because it just shows that not every love story has […]
The Heart of Baker Bay by Danielle Jacks At first, I wasn’t a huge fan of Jody. I thought she was kind of needy and I didn’t really understand her as a character. But as I read, I grew to like her odd quirks and I learned why she had certain feelings about herself – […]
Sex on Fire: A Quickie Read by Ashley Bostock I haven’t read a short and sweet romance story yet so this was a first for me – definitely to the point and a great summer read. I read in about 30 minutes so its a good one to take along to the beach or if […]
Bad Man on Campus by Stephanie Queen My rating: 4 of 5 stars Just when you think you know what’s going to happen, a twist is thrown in and changes the story! I haven’t read a ton of suspense/romance novels but I think this one opened my eyes to the possibility of reading more because […]
Mr. Nice Guy by Belinda Williams I loved how we knew as the reader that the relationship would come but it was a slower burn to get there. The character development as well as getting to know the thoughts inside their heads were a great part of the story overall! I loved that the story […]
Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster by Danielle Jacks My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved how both of the characters changed for the better throughout the story – and they helped to change each other! It was a sweet love story and a great quick read! I really like having a quick read every […]
Bound by Secrets by Amy McKinley My rating: 5 of 5 stars I typically like stand alone books better BUT Amy Mckinley makes each of her books connect in a way that its not super necessary to read the book before it (so far from what I can tell) and you can still understand the […]
Twisted Secrets by Amy McKinley My rating: 5 of 5 stars I was hooked from the first page! I didn’t realize how much I love suspense romance stories until I was brought into the world of Riley and Zander – I’m not typically one to love fast romances either but the author made their relationship […]
Chased by Felicity Brandon My rating: 3 of 5 stars This specific type of book is a little outside my normal but I really loved how strong the main character, Allegra, was. Even though she sometimes seemed to “bow down”, she didn’t truly back down. She still had that fire inside her that you could […]
