Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey (Hot and Hammered #1)

May 2, 2020 Leave a Comment

| 9 hours 59 min. | Avon | Contemporary Romance | Release Date: 06/11/19 This is one of those books readers either love or hate. And judging by the top Goodreads reviewsa lot of people hate it. The cover designs for this series betray the raunchy, alpha male, borderline cheesy romances Bailey tends to writeRead the Post

Fumbled and Blitzed by Alexa Martin (The Playbook #2 and #3)

December 30, 2019 Leave a Comment

I’ve been all about series this year and closed out 2019 by finishing up Alexa Martin’s Playbook series.

Coffee Shop Romances: Small Town Secrets and Delivered Fast

December 30, 2018 Leave a Comment

I love a good coffee shop–comfy seating, drinks in warm mugs, ambient conversation  and that lingering smell of fresh coffee. It’s the perfect setting for a romance and this week I read two novellas about coffee shop owners who fall for the person delivering their baked goods.   Lisa “Sully” “Sullivan may not have grown up inRead the Post

Off Base By Annabeth Albert

Rating: ★★★★ | 8 hrs 9 min | Carina Press| M/M Contemporary| 1/09/2017 |Buy Now! Off Base is my first foray into M/M romance.
