Book Review – Devastated by R.L. Mathewson

By 8 Comments

Devastated (Anger Management Book 1) <— P.S. It’s going live in just a couple of days – 10-25-19!!!

When R.L. Mathewson sent me an early review copy of her latest release “Devastated” she included a warning. Just as the moody cover (and title) portray, she told me this one was somewhat darker (or more serious in nature) than her amazing comedy romances that we’ve gone so crazy for in the past.

So, I was fretting. Why? ‘Cause her love stories are totally my kind of “comedy romance”. Witty and gleeful and believable. She (er… I mean… her characters) are absolutely hilarious. From their quick-witted remarks and thought processes, to some of their not-so-smart fumbles and mistakes (that end up being amusing anyway), her books have me grinning, laughing and exhilarated. read more

Reader Question – The book about the girl staying at a guys house and she sleeps with him when his kid is not there…

By 2 Comments

Nicole needs our book-sleuthing! And the last part of her question made me snort!!! This one sounds like fun!

She asks:

I have another book question 

In the book there is a girl who is staying at a guys house and he really likes her and she ends up sleeping with him most nights when his kid is not there. 

When the kid is there she stays in another room 

But another thing that happens in the book is that he takes very fast showers unless he is paying a little attention to himself then he will stay in the shower a little longer.. read more

By Leave a Comment

K.A. LINDE’S LATEST & IT’S A BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE!! And… book #2 is going live at midnight!! 😀

About book #1:

Natalie Bishop was just supposed to be a one night stand. Until she steps out of the ocean at my summer home in the Hamptons completely naked.

The minute I see her, I know I can’t walk away.She claims that she’s just here to watch the house while it undergoes renovations.

That she has no interest in rekindling our fire. But every weighted glance says it’s a lie. I don’t care that I’m Manhattan royalty and she’s the help. read more

Elle Kennedy – Briar U Series Reading Order (and signed book giveaway!!!)

By 38 Comments

SQUEEE!!!! I just LOVE this author, and can’t get enough of her “Off Campus” series (I devoured and 5-star loved them) and this is the spinoff! 😀 YAY US!!! We’re already two books in and a third up for preorder!

Sakshi: I have loved Elle Kennedy’s past works and I am so excited to read this one!

About book #1:

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. read more

Reader Question – The book about the former party girl who moves with best friend to new city to work in architect’s office…

By 1 Comment

Leah has a reader question for us! It’s short and sweet and reminds me of quite a few blurbs I’ve read, but maybe someone here knows exactly which one?

She asks:

Hey!

Here I am (again!) asking you to save me and help me with a title.  I never thought I would complain about having too many books  — but that was before ebooks!

I didn’t finish it, so all I remember about it is it’s a book about former party girl who moves with best friend to new city to work in architect’s office. read more
