TOUR REVIEW: Frenched by Melanie Harlow

C’est tres bonne! This is the first book I’ve read by Melanie Harlow and it won’t be the last. Frenched is my favorite kind of story to read; it’s smart, funny, emotional, and very sexy. I found myself smiling through entire chapters, unable to stop reading. The story captures your interest immediately and you instantly bond with the characters in the book. We meet Mia just days after her fiancé dumps her only a week before their mega-wedding of the year is supposed to take place. She’s devastated, humiliated, and heart-broken. With the encouragement from her two best friends, and the threat of a visit from her mother, she decides to go on her would-be honeymoon to Paris. When arriving in Paris, she remains in a sour mood as she is alone and cannot escape the overwhelming amount of romance in the city of lights. Everywhere she looks she sees… Read more »

Review: Lovelines by S. Walden

This is a new kinda book by Summer Walden. No, not that kinda book. Though yowza, Summer can write some sexy times. If you’ve read Summer before you’re used to teenagers. No teenagers here, hooray! Lovelines isn’t my normal kind of read, which is to say, Bailey & Reece are normal people. I have a fetish for alpha billionaires, not normal guys that work in marketing. But I have a thing for Summer’s writing, cause her men, swoon. So Reece who works in marketing it is. Bailey suffers from OCD. Real, debilitating OCD, not the fun, “OMG, I, like, have to eat all the yellow M&M’s first out of the bag. I’m so OCD.” The first couple of chapters are painful to read, because Bailey’s struggle is so vivid. Then she meets Reece. Reece who loves her, not in spite of her OCD, but including her OCD. Reece is…… Read more »

Review of SPIN by CD Reiss

“You need a man,” she said. “A rebound cock to fuck the sad right out of you.” Spin is a spin off (ha-ha) series by CD Reiss, but you do not need to read the original series Songs of Submission. Each series is about a different sibling, so we see Jonathan Drazen from Songs very briefly in this book. Spin is Theresa Drazen’s story. Theresa dated a politician for years. Until he fucked his speechwriter. Being the good girl that she is, she hasn’t publicly castrated him. Though broken up, she attends events with him, lending her support to his campaign. She’s torn about taking him back, until Antonio Spinelli blows into her life. Antonio has an impressive cock. But is he rebound cock or something more cock? He’s all wrong for her. All. Wrong. Theresa is an heiress. Antonio is a lawyer… with mob ties. Yet, Antonio makes an… Read more »

Review: Emerge, Book 1 in the Evolve Series

Emerge, book one in S.E. Hall’s Evolve series, broke my heart and then slowly put the pieces back together. There may still be a few still missing, but I’m hopeful that book 2 will help mend those too. I’m late to this series and I’m kicking myself in the ass for not bumping this up to the top of my reading list. I have had this book in my Kindle library for months, MONTHS! What was I waiting for? If you have it in your library, stop what you’re reading and start this series. You won’t be sorry. S. E. Hall has created a sweet and endearing book consisting of likeable characters who tell a story about love, friendship, loyalty and growing up. I connected with the characters immediately. Throughout the book, I felt like I was right there, experiencing each moment with the crew of characters. I channeled my… Read more »

REVIEW: Every Second with You

I enjoyed getting to know Trey and Harley in The Thrill of It. Their circumstances were refreshing and interesting. If you haven’t read the The Thrill of It, book one; please do not read any further as there may be spoilers. Book one ends and leaves you with wondering whether or not Harley is indeed pregnant, and if she is, how it is going to impact not only her new life, but also the life of her boyfriend, Trey. A baby just may destroy him and set him up for a relapse in the addiction he’s been fighting to overcome. I think that this story could have gone in several different directions, taking the reader on a journey of emotional chaos. I am so glad the author decided against the roller coaster ride of what-ifs, assumptions, and could of beens. I hate when the twist in a book was based… Read more »

Throwback Review of The Thrill of It by Lauren Blakely

Here’s a THROWBACK review of The Thrill of It, Book 1 in the No Regrets series. This is a new adult story about trying to understand love when you feel like you don’t deserve it, it’s about trying to be able to differentiate between lust and love. Meet Harley, a young college student who was raised in NYC by her successful journalist mother, who wanted and treated her as a friend, not a daughter. The dynamic between Harley and her mom is so intriguing. My heart broke for this sweet girl who only wanted to feel loved. Harley is beautiful, she’s quiet and shy, she’s smart and creative, she’s also a high class call girl, oh yeah, and a virgin. Yes, a virgin. No one believes that she’s still a virgin, especially the person blackmailing her into writing her story. Nice twist? I thought so! Meet Trey, a hot college… Read more »

REVIEW of Be With Me by J.Lynn

Wait for You was one of my top reads last year, so needless to say, I was excited to read Be with Me. While Lynn’s new book certainly didn’t disappoint, I have to be honest and say it was not nearly as enticing as Wait for You. That said I am still a huge fan and was happy that I took the time to read and enjoy it. This book tells the story of Teresa Hamilton, the younger sister of Wait for You’s leading man, Cam. A year ago she shared a steamy, crush-inducing kiss with Cam’s best friend, Jase, solidifying her feelings for this older boy. Unfortunately for her, Teresa’s dreams and life drastically change over the course of several years leaving her on a different path than she originally chose; she finds herself enrolled at the college her brother attends. At first, I thought Teresa was going to… Read more »

Archer’s Voice… it spoke to me

Archer’s Voice is a book about how one tries to overcome tragedy to live. It’s a story of how someone slowly begins to build trust with oneself, and with others. It’s a tale of finding love, true love even when one may think it’s impossible or undeserving. And Mia Sheridan did a brilliant job in making me feel every word written in this book! Archer’s Voice is the fourth book in Mia Sheridan’s Sign of Love series. While I enjoyed the first two books in this series, Leo and Leo’s Chance, I have yet to read the third book, Stringer. I bumped Archer’s Voice to the top of my TBR list when I started seeing the hoopla online about this story. One thing I hate about being online so frequently is seeing the attention certain books garner; it builds the story up for me-gets me all pumped so I purchase and read,… Read more »
