Review: Pride & Papercuts by Staci Hart
Staci Hart’s take on a modern day Pride & Prejudice is delightful and steamy. P&P has it funny moments and some serious attitude from the main and side characters. Hart is able to bring a whole new story out from the works of Jane Austen. With the perfect blend of humor and sarcasm Hart engages the reader. Bringing her readers in with the playful relationships until Liam and Laney can figure their way around all the expectations of Liam’s family. Can they figure it out or will they be torn apart by a vengeful relative. It’s fun to watch the story play out. Pride & Papercuts was a cute sweet…

⛈⚡️⛈ Storm Damage by CP Smith ⛈⚡️⛈
Storm Damage came to me at the perfect time, I had just DNFed a book for the first time in years and was needing something to get back into the reading groove. I freely admit I totally decided to read this book based on the cover. I never read the synopsis so I had no idea what I was getting into. CP Smith had my total attention after just the first chapter. Honestly, I don’t even think it took that long. Logan Storm and Skylar James are two people who were made for each other. Smith developed their relationship so beautifully, even though it was almost instalove. There was still…

Review & Release: Skirt by K.L. Savage
I have to be honest I binge read this series over the course of two days. It started with me choosing the prequel, then I had to read about a certain character. I could not stop reading. K.L. Savage has created a huge world for people to get lost in. I fell down this rabbit hole but don’t try to save me. Instead join me in a dark and gritty world, where the men are fierce and the women are just as strong. I’ll be honest there was more to Skirt than I expected. His backstory blew me out of the water. The emotion and depth that Savage brought to her lead male character will…

Review: #LoveStrong by Courtney Lynn Rose
Every now and then there is a book that comes out of no where and just slays you. You can’t let it go. It has buried itself so deep into your skin that it has become a piece of you. That is #LoveStrong for me. I’m not a person who is easy to cry or really let anything get that deep into me, yet Courtney Lynn Rose totally ripped me to pieces within just the prologue of #LoveStrong. I read this book a couple weeks ago but when a book sticks to me like this I have to back away and let it run its course so that I can…

Do Not Disturb by Kristine Dugger
Have you ever read a book that makes you feel like you are sitting around with friends, listening to one of them tell you about what is going on in their life? That is what Kristine Dugger has made her newest release Do Not Disturb feel like. Her lead characters, Lennox and Vivienne, are relatable and loveable. Dugger has created such a sweet and sexy world that I wanted to dive right in. Her characters are relatable, funny, and engaging. These are people I want to met in real life. Lennox has me hooked to the point that I claimed him. Seriously what human doesn’t want an attentive lover? Do…

Review: It’s Always Been You by Hadley Raydeen
When you loved and connected with a book so much that you just can’t find the words or your voice, that’s me right now with It’s Always Been You by Hadley Raydeen. I have sat here trying to write this review for over two weeks. The words and emotions I’ve been trying to pour out were stuck in my throat and finger tips. Yes, that is how deeply I feel for Karis and Rhett. For they are me and I am them. I don’t normally become so attached to characters, but that just shows you the strength of Raydeen’s talent. She draws you in to a world without you even…

A Sweet Mess by Jayci Lee
With all that is going on in the world today, Jayci Lee gave me what I didn’t even know I needed. Her book, A Sweet Mess, was a breath of fresh air and nonstop laughs. Expertly written, deliciously funny, and hotter than the kitchen. I started A Sweet Mess without reading the synopsis, so I truly had no idea what to expect. This was also the first of Ms. Lee’s books for me. For some, going in completely blind is scary. For me, it helps me form my own opinions without any bias. What I found was an amazing and hilarious love story. What I got was a much needed…

Review: Dishing Up Love by KD Robichaux
Finding a good romcom to read can be hard to find, writing one (I can only imagine) even harder, with everyone’s sense of humor being so different. Or maybe I am just picky. Then BOOM! That’s KD Robichaux kicking in the door with Dishing Up Love. Is there anything this woman cannot write? I have read several of her other books, from her debut autobiographical love story to her dark romances, and she always draws me in and holds me captive with her words. Dishing Up Love is no exception. Robichaux has a way of making her characters feel like they’re your best friends. Each character is so relatable. The…

Paper Hearts by Jen Atkinson
Paper Hearts by Jen Atkinson is exactly the clean young adult paranormal romance that we have come to expect. Beautifully written and this time the paranormal part is very light. It’s more of a side note in my mind. Atkinson is always able to interweave such emotion, realism and meaning in her books. Paper Hearts brings this back to the forefront. Jen Atkinson is an author who drags you into a beautifully built world that while seeming completely idyllic has it’s major hiccups. The storyline keeps you grounded in the book. You can close your eyes and feel the surroundings. Her characters grow and develop so seamlessly. I have yet…

Review: The Savage Sinner by Christopher Harlan
I have read many of Christopher Harlan’s books and he always brings his A game. With each book Harlan becomes like a new author to me. I have read his heart touching stories about family and hardship. I have read his books in so many different genres. What makes Christopher Harlan an amazing writer is that every book he brings a new side of Not only himself but of life. Harlan has fast become one of my favorite go to Author’s. The Savage Sinner is an MMA based story unlike any I have ever read. Going deep into the mind of Damien “The Sinner” Reyes. Harlan brings forth an amazing…
