Review: A Kingdom of Venom and Vows by Holly Renee

I’d been waiting for A KINGDOM OF VENOM AND VOWS because I needed to know how Adara and Evren bested Gavril. The beginning of the book lived up to my expectation (and boy do you hate Gavril even more), the middle was slowed and the ending was just meh. I wanted more of a war of words between the brothers. Maybe for their father to grow a spine and show up. Maybe even Evren’s mom backing him up in…

ARC Review: Bewitched by Laura Thalassa

I loved the author’s Bargainer and Four Horseman series, so I quickly jumped on this ARC as soon as I saw it was available on NetGalley.  I wasn’t disappointed. This paranormal romance has an anti-hero that I often times wanted to do bodily harm to as often as I wanted to love him.  Memnom has some issues…specifically with poor unsuspecting Selene.  Selene, unfortunately, releases Memnon from the…

Blog Tour Review: Keeping You by Aurora Rose Reynolds

This was exactly what I needed right now to add a little bit of lightness after spending a lot of time in some Fantasy series.  Bridgett and Noah’s story was quick and mostly sweet.  Bridgett left her husband and through a series of bad luck events, ends up leaning on her brother’s best friend, local cop Noah.  The attraction is immediate, on both sides, but they fight it for most of the book. …

Quickie Review: Seraphim Academy

I generally don’t like this trope (reverse harem), but I found myself compelled to continue reading to see what happens with Olivia.  Only 1/2 the guys she’s “paired” with are tolerable (the others are complete dicks).  Thankfully this was a Kindle Unlimited read so that played a huge factor in me picking this up.

ARC Review: Bad Girl Reputation by Elle Kennedy

I’ve been sitting on this review for a while.  To be honest, its because this is the first Elle Kennedy book that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed.  Genevieve and Evan probably would have been ok separately, but I couldn’t see how the two of them and their toxic tendency were ever going to make sense in the long run.  Genevieve constantly struggled with who she was now versus who she had been before…

ARC Review: Keep This Promise by Corinne Michaels

OMG….I really enjoyed this one (not as much as Spencer and Brie…but close).  We’ve heard the stories about what happened during Isaac’s bachelor party, but it seems that Dr. James has found fun following him home. If you’re new to this series, each romance is standalone but a suspense arc runs through all three.  With Holden and Sophie’s story, we get the conclusion to that arc.  There are some…
