Torn by K.A. Robinson

Torn by K.A. Robinson

    Ah where does one start when it comes to reviewing a book that literally made me want to burn things? Torn was a story that I had high hopes for because a good friend of mine recommended it. And at first I actually really dug it. Even though the characters had the staple […]

The Marriage Merger by Jennifer Probst

The Marriage Merger by Jennifer Probst

    Let the sighs begin! So let me be honest here. I read the blurb for The Marriage Merger on NetGalley and hit request. No second guessing. No Goodreads research. No rushing to see if my friends had read it. I read the blurb hit submit and walked away. Then I was approved, saw that […]

Frigid by J. Lynn

Frigid by J. Lynn

  You know what? I’m really liking this New Adult phenom! And please don’t start with that New Adult vs. Adult mess here alright?! I don’t care what you call it, at the end of the day this new category within a genre is quickly becoming a favorite of mine, and Frigid is no exception. Now if you know me […]

Rush by Maya Banks

Rush by Maya Banks

  Let me start off by asking all those raving 5 star reviews on Goodreads a question: Did we read the same book? I get, and love, that everyone is entitled to their opinion and interpretation of a book but there is absolutely no way we could have read the same book! Where most people […]

The Hazards of Skinny Dipping by Alyssa Rose Ivy

The Hazards of Skinny Dipping by Alyssa Rose Ivy

  First, a special thank you to Alyssa for providing a copy of The Hazards of Skinny Dipping for me to review! Now, on to the book! The Hazards of Skinny Dipping was my first “New Adult” read. While personally I have no interest in the whole “New Adult” vs. “Contemporary Adult” vs. “Adult” debate […]

Mini Review: Thrown By A Curve by Jaci Burton

Mini Review: Thrown By A Curve by Jaci Burton

I use the word “sex” A LOT.  You have been warned.  Now that we have that disclaimer out the way, ladies I want to introduce you to my fantasy version of Garrett Scott:    I’m ridiculously behind on Revenge but this is the face I pictured the entire time I was reading Thrown by a Curve.   My number one remedy […]

Come Away with Me by Kristen Proby Mini-Review

Come Away with Me by Kristen Proby Mini-Review

I was really hesitant to pick up “Come Away with Me” because it sounded like another book I read and didn’t really like. Luckily a few blogs that I stalk frequently had said some great things about it, and I really needed a break from the whole YA genre. So I bought a copy on my […]

Review: Lust by T.C. Anthony

Review: Lust by T.C. Anthony

I read the blurb for Three Stages of Love: Lust on NetGalley and just knew that this would be the perfect “first request” I submitted. Here you have two extremely successful people trying to get over their issues as a couple, who also happen to have some pretty steamy scenes along the way. This should have been an easy yet enjoyable […]

Bared to You by Sylvia Day

Bared to You by Sylvia Day

You know that feeling you get when you’re reading a book and it is so good you don’t want to put it down but you also don’t want it to end? That was me the entire time that “Bared to You” was in my hands. I started the book right before bed thinking “three chapters […]
