I know I am not alone when I say that Jill Shalvis is an auto-buy author for me. One of the reasons that is the case is because her books are consistently good, no matter how long the series has been going! Playing for Keeps is the seventh book in The Heartbreaker Bay series and […]

Remembering Everly is the sequel to the NA romance, Forgetting August. If you read the first book, you know that it ended on quite the cliffhanger, so I was looking forward to the continuation of the story. Unfortunately, it really did do much for me. The uneven pace and the unfocused story really took away […]
Ex Libris Romance (54)
Duke of My Heart was such a wonderful and refreshing historical romance. Where this genre used to be ruled by very young and inexperienced female protagonists, I am liking the trend I see of women with more complex histories being written into these books. While I love all historical romance, don’t get me […]
Ex Libris Romance (53)
Ok, listen. You are going to want to roll your eyes and ignore this book because of the ridiculous title. (Why, Harlequin, WHY??) You shouldn’t, though, because this book was such an amazing find. Its about a 9/11 widow who cannot move on and an introverted art appraiser who is trying to convince herself […]

Call Me Maybe was a different kind of NA romance, but that is not a bad thing at all. The virtual meet cute was a very interesting way for these meet these two characters and it allowed them the space to get to know each other before meeting in person. Clementine’s wealth, which she tried […]

The Wrong Bride was a pretty fun mistaken identity story. I always love the enemies to friends to romance pattern, which is sort of the romance pattern, and The Wrong Bride pulled it off pretty well. It’s the first in a new series centering around arranged marriages in the Scottish Highlands. I thought that the […]

I was gifted the first two books in this series by the lovely Kelly and I am so happy to have read them! Cora Carmack is someone I think of as being what new adult romance should be. All Lines Up is thoughtful and sexy, with great characters that you really get attached to as […]
Ex Libris Romance (37)
I loved Bad Romeo so I was very anxious to continue Cassie and Ethan’s story in Broken Juliet. We get more background in their relationship and the story continues to be told in present day and in flashbacks, which is a technique that I thought worked particularly well in this story. The tension an the […]
A Court Of Thorns And Roses By Sarah J. Maas
I have yet to tire of books set in the world of the Fae, and A Court of Thorns and Roses puts its own spin on an oft visited place in the land of fiction. While some elements were familiar, there was still newness to this particular world, so it did not feel overdone. […]
Ex Libris Romance (35)
I am not big on paranormal romance, but Love Me To Death was a great combination of sexy times with a story that played on several different mythologies. Out leading man is a hot avenging angel, sent to kill the daughter of a man her hates, while our heroine has no idea what is going […]
