I am a proud reader of ROMANCE of any kind, from paranormal to erotica and anything in between! I love finding new to me authors and have just this year begun writing reviews mostly on Amazon, sometimes Goodreads. I also LOVE giveaways and freebies!
Hot Number by Carly Phillips My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is book two in the Hot Zone series and even though it follows a different couple, Micki and Damien, the story lines interconnect so it's better to read in order. I liked the first one but I think I liked Micki's story even better! She's a tomboy who is more comfortable in the locker room with the boys than in dresses or skirts. This "label" has Micki feeling like she can't compete with the women the hot baseball star, Damien, usually dates. I definitely related to her since I always considered myself more of a tomboy! Damien has a few issues too like the end of his career and an ex-lover. I felt this sweet and sexy book all the way down to my toes! Told from dual POVs with a sweet ending. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this

Whisper of Love by Melissa Foster My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is book five in the Bradens of Peaceful Harbor series and I have no clue what number in the overall series but don't let that throw you...even though there's recurring characters, the book completely stands alone. Melissa Foster is the queen of endearing contemporary romance! When loner single father Nash and his son, Phillip meet the loving and giving Tempest, passions flair. They have such a sweet and instant connection. The closeness that blossoms between Nash and Tempest is just made stronger by the precious relationship between father and son. This story is far more than sex, it's about learning to trust as well as love's powerful ability to heal. It's really a feel good kind of book! Told from dual POVs with a sweet ending. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. View all my reviews
Going Down Hard by Carly Phillips My rating: 5 of 5 stars Carly Phillips writes such AWESOME contemporary romance! This is the third book in the series and the characters inter-connect but the writing is so good, anyone who hasn't read the first two can pick up GOING DOWN HARD and not be confused or lost. I was able to read it one sitting, couldn't put it down! Derek is supposedly a "bad boy" but he's such a sweetie with Cassie, I found it hard to believe!! This is almost a second chance romance that blossoms into a deliciously sexy relationship between a dreamy alpha and a sweetheart of a woman. Told from dual POVs with a happy ending (and a hint for book #4). I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. View all my reviewsDate of Publication: February 21, 2017

Switch by Adriana Locke My rating: 5 of 5 stars How did I miss this series?!? The Landry family is big, loud, nosey but best of all..lovingly supportive. I'll admit, I'm a huge sap (of course, I read romance!) and I often cry during the particularly sad parts but it's rare that a book makes me cry during a sweet, happy scene. Adriana Locke made me HAPPY CRY! On top of Graham being hot in a suit, he's a sweetie. Mallory is also a sweetie and a bit quirky but they somehow work together to make me SWOON and SIGH! The story is written really well with plenty of spicy sexiness. Even though I somehow missed the first two books in the series and their main characters make appearances in Graham's story, I wasn't confused or lost. But I'll definitely need to go back and read the others because now I need to swoon over Barrett and Lincoln! This is one for my READ AGAIN E-SHELF! Told from dual POVs with a sweet ending. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. View all my reviews
Her Touch by Alexa Riley My rating: 5 of 5 stars Just like their bio says, if you're looking for short and sweet, "cheesy" and taboo stories, pick up an Alexa Riley book! This one doesn't disappoint! Eli is a hot alpha Marine and Maggie is an achingly sweet little vixen. There's no underage sex but Eli is about a decade older than Maggie. When they do finally come together, their chemistry is explosive! I love that even though the story is short, Alexa Riley still manages to give me characters that are relatable and a complete plot that makes sense. Told from dual POVs with a darling end and a delightful little surprise! I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. View all my reviews

Wolf Moon by Lisa Kessler My rating: 5 of 5 stars Lisa Kessler is a new to me author and I'm so bummed that I haven't read her books before. Now, I have to go back and read ALL the other books in this series! As a firm believer in FATE, I love reading stories about soul mates and that's exactly what Luke and Raven are. They have hot chemistry together and some pretty spicy but sweet sex scenes. I only wished that there was an epilogue because I love to read just a bit more happy endings. I'm also hoping that Ms. Kessler will continue her series, I want to read about some of the other characters! Told from dual POVs with a sweet end. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. View all my reviews

Hooked by Christina Phillips
New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett has written her most gripping and poignant tale yet. Provocatively heart-breaking, audaciously irreverent and romantically fulfilling, The Hard Truth About Sunshine exposes just how very thin the line is between a full life and an empty existence.
Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released more than 30 books and has been featured on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists on multiple occasions. A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone. Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two. WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | BOOKBUB | AMAZON AUTHOR PAGE | INSTAGRAM
