BOTM: March Selections.

Happy March! New month means a new Book of the Month selection is here! I started using this subscription service last year because several of my bookstagrammer friends raved about this service. Once I checked it out I could see what the hype is all about. My favorite thing about BOTM is the diverse selection of titles. As a strong […]

New Release+Review: Secret Heir Seduction by Reese Ryan

Review I’m a sucker for second chance romance stories so I jumped at the chance to read this book. Darius and Audra dated in grad school and broke up. Five years later they are reunited. I liked the both of them because they were go getters and Darius was self made. I also felt like simple communication would have […]

Review Tour: Just One Year by Penelope Ward

Review This book. The feels. The angst. The tension. Caleb and Teagen had a rocky start but eventually they became friends and slowly lovers. I loved the slow delicious burn of this story. I felt every single emotion between Caleb and Teagen. I laughed and ached right along with them both while reading. You could cut the tension between […]

New Release+Review: Photos Of You by Tammy Robinson

Review This story is a perfect reminder about living life to your fullest and not waiting until you’re dying to make it count. I loved the support that Ava had from her parents and two best friends. They loved her, listened to her, let her be and gave her a kick in the butt when needed. There was a romance […]

Review: Color Outside The Lines: Stories About Love Anthology

Review I’m all about diversity which is why I wanted to read this anthology. In my opinion I find that the young adult genre does a great job with providing diverse stories. So as far as the anthology goes I liked some stories more than others. Some stories were well written and some stopped just when things got interesting. A […]

Review+Excerpt: An Everyday Hero by Laura Trentham

Review: After reading The Military Wife by this author I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book. I really like Greer, she was sassy and took no mess but behind that exterior she was vulnerable as well. Emmett is dealing with some serious ptsd after serving in the army and isn’t the man he once used to be […]

Book Review: Behind Every Lie by Christina McDonald

Review So I read The Night Olivia Fell by this author and it didn’t work for me. I decided to give this book a chance because the blurb sounded good. With that being said I really enjoyed this book a lot better. The writing was solid. The story line sucked me in and I finished this book in one day. […]

New Release+Review: King and the Dragonflies by Kacen Callender

Review: Phew. This book had a lot going on at times and it was intense. This book was a little depressing if I am being honest. It touched on a death in the family. Child abuse. Dealing with prejudice, closed minded and racist people. It also talked about how being gay in the black comminuty is such a big taboo. […]

Book Review: Rebel Soul by L.K. Farlow

Review: I have been looking forward to West and Stacia book since Rebel Heart. I really liked how this book started out but I felt the romance overshadowed the secondary plot concerning Stacia’s father. There’s no denying West and Stacia have chemistry and funny banter but I never felt the transition from friends to lovers while reading this book. […]

Blog Tour+Review: Inappropriate by Vi Keeland

First off let me say that I loved Ireland! She was sassy, assertive and took no mess. I also like that she didn’t let her past define her and made a name for herself. “Seven years ago, my own heartbeat stopped, and today mine found its purpose again.” My heart broke for Grant in this story. I knew he was […]
