Review: Shake Things Up – Skye Kilaen

March 28, 2022 Leave a Comment

Shake Things Up

The first book of this author’s I ever picked up was Get it Right, the first in this series, and that prompted me to binge, uh, pretty much everything else by her. So of course I was ridiculously excited for the next book in the series and even more excited when I heard it wasRead the Post

Review: Frostbite – J. Emery

February 21, 2022 Leave a Comment

I’d seen this novella recommended frequently online, so when I had the chance to get an ARC, I jumped on it. And it’s the exact tropey goodness I needed: a sweet snowed-in and enemies-to-lovers paranormal M/M romance, set around New Year’s Eve. Morgan’s looking forward to a week of quiet in his friend’s remote andRead the Post

Review: Match with the Demon – Chace Verity

January 29, 2022 Leave a Comment

Match with the Demon

It’s a cozy trashy romance! All of the author’s cozy demon romances have been an absolute delight, and this one is no different. While past books have dealt with single parents of teens and elementary schoolers, this one has an empty nester. “It was probably too late to freak out over having a greasy Valentine’sRead the Post

Review: Of Mates & Magic – Maggie Francis

January 10, 2022 Leave a Comment

Of Mates & Magic

I’ve been very much enjoying small town paranormal romances lately, so when I saw the gorgeous cover, I simply had to try this one out. While it definitely met all those criteria, I wanted a bit more from the main couple. Seb has known from his first few days in Eliza Falls that Cora, whoRead the Post

Review: Desires Darkly: The Camper – Jack Harbon

December 30, 2021 Leave a Comment

This is one of those novellas that you finish and then wonder what the heck you just read. I’d never read erotic horror before so I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, but it’s pretty much what it says on the tin. Imagine your usual abandoned summer camp horror flick, except in this case theRead the Post

Review: Surrender to the Moonlight – Dria Andersen

December 24, 2021 Leave a Comment

Surrender to the Moonlight

I’ve liked Dria Andersen’s other paranormal romances, so I was interested in this start of a new series. While it suffers from some first book problems, the chemistry between Nic and JT made up for those issues. Nicole (Nic to her family) has spent most of her life away from her family in Georgia, followingRead the Post

Review: The Demon Next Door – Chace Verity

November 23, 2021 Leave a Comment

I was unaware that cozy paranormal demon romances were a thing I needed until I read and absolutely fell in love with Deal with the Demon last year during the pandemic. It was a warm hug right when I needed it, so I was extremely excited to find out the author had written another book in theRead the Post

Review: Meteors and Menorahs – Nessa Claugh

November 11, 2021 Leave a Comment

Meteors and Menorahs

The absolutely adorable cover caught my eye, and when I found out it was a fake relationship romance with an alien set during a just-one-bed family visit for Hanukkah? Heck yeah! There seems to be an endless amount of alien Santa books, but not much for other cultures. Leah, an anesthesiologist, and Knar, a physicalRead the Post

Review: Santa Claus Is Going to Town On Me – M.L. Eliza

November 9, 2021 Leave a Comment

Santa Claus Is Going To Town On Me

This is 100% one of the most bonkers erotic romance novellas I’ve ever read, and that’s saying something. I can’t say I’ve read too many Santa-related romances, but the few I have haven’t, er, jingled my bells. But I’ve never been disappointed by Marie Lipscomb before, so when I saw she was releasing this underRead the Post

Review: His Cocky Prince – Cole McCade

November 2, 2021 Leave a Comment

His Cocky Prince

I’ve wanted to try this out since I heard about His Cocky Valet in the general furor around Cockygate, and this one has a fake relationship! Plus it’s also an age gap romance with a bit of kink. This is the third book in the series, but I read it as a standalone. After yearsRead the Post
