K.A. Linde – The Record Series Reading Order

By 1 Comment

<— The follow-up to this book by one of our favorite angst-authors was just released a few days ago! Plus I just found out there’ll be a third book, so I thought I’d put up the series reading order. Our fellow readers are loving it!

Laura: I have to mention, that K A Linde did not disappoint with her strong woman character in Off the Record and it had just the right amount of angst, plus Brady is swoon-worthy!  She delivered and I was skeptical after loving her Avoiding series….don’t miss this one! read more

Book Review – Black Lies by Alessandra Torre

By 16 Comments

Black Lies
You say you’re in the mood for a romance roller-coaster, do you? Well THIS. IS. IT! And I shouldn’t have expected anything less from this author. She rocked my world twist-wise (and while I’m at it, romance-wise), with her fabulous Sex Love Repeat, and she totallllllly did it again with this one. Two AWESOME standalones, that have nothing to do with each other, but are so clever and intense, and crazy and somewhat emotionally scary with the CRAZIEST twists that make you go whaaaaaaa!!?? NO. WAY!!!! Yep!!! They both have that “feel” that is… just right. Or is it Alessandra’s writing that has a “feel”? Either way, I LOVE that! read more

Latest Bargain e-Books – August 29th 2014

By 218 Comments

Tuesday’s latest new release list has proven to be a GREAT one ’cause I’m getting awesome feedback on some of the books you guys one-clicked. Therefore, I’m highlighting a few of them again, right here. With these recommendations, I don’t know how I can possibly not jump right in!

In fact, late last night I started Black Lies and it absolutely grabbed me right from the start. Yikes!!! This girl sounds like a load of trouble and I. Am. IN! Amazing writing and while I’m still only in the first quarter, I know I’m about to be taken on a wild ride. Eeeeeep! I can’t wait to see what all the fuss is about. I posted a bunch of that “fuss” below in the list. You’ll see. 😉 *rubs hands together with devious glee* read more

Book Review – Be My Hero by Linda Cage

By 23 Comments

Be My Hero (Forbidden Men Book 3)
How sweeeeeet is this book?!!! It’s sweet, quirky, funny and fun. And at times, super-emotional! And even quite dark. Definitely explores some dark subjects, and very dark characters (the evil villains by way of family members), but overall a light, feel-good read that I throughly connected to. In fact, I absolutely LOVE these characters. I feel attached to them, and will be backtracking to book #1 (Price of a Kiss – he’s an escort!) and #2 (To Professor, with Love – teacher-student romance!!) to get their full stories. read more
