Kodiak Dating Agency: Paranormal Romance Box Set – Dorian’s Reward, Anders’ Allure, Brock’s Pleasure, Michael’s Secrets by Haley Weir

Okay, I will admit it - I am embarrassed to admit I even picked this up. Since I did, I might as well tell you what I found. There are four books, listed above, that make up the box set. I won't delve into the individual books and characters. The books make up one continuous…

Rock Bottom Girl: A Small Town Romantic Comedy by Lucy Score

Marley Cicero is a woman who has accepted the life-time award as a loser. She's lost jobs, every job, boyfriends, every one of them and money, every cent. So without too much explanation, she has moved home to her parents. Culpepper is a small town, where gossip is the main entertainment and always has been.…

Confessions of a Chatterbox by Abigail Davies

Finding a romantic comedy that maintains the laughs all the way through is not as easy as one would think. But this book did just that. Instead of turning into something heavy and strictly romance around the fifty percent mark, it keeps true to a tricky genre and proves to be a wonderful surprise. The…

Imperfect Chemistry by Mary Frames

Sometimes a fluffy romance that does not require a whole lot of deep thinking can be just what the doctor ordered. While this book fills that description with a somewhat predictable storyline and a few side characters that fit in the typical romance box, it is surprisingly entertaining and a thoroughly enjoyable and quick read.…

Fallen Crest High by Tijan

What started out as a strong teen story about a broken girl with a good dose of indifference and angst that I really enjoyed, morphed into Gossip Girl meets One Tree Hill meets Dawson’s Creek meets all those other high school tales that are predictable yet reach a certain type of audience who gobble it…

One Man’s Opus – A Survival & Preparedness Story by Boyd Craven III

This book is written in first-person, which usually means it takes me a while to get into it, but my interest was caught immediately. The writing is so smooth it is easy to feel like you are wrapped up in Rick Carpenter’s thoughts, which, of course, you are, but this story did an excellent job…

Pen and Zander by Laekan Zea Kemp

This is not a romance. It is a love story. Pen is eighteen and works in her father’s Mexican restaurant. She loves the work and baking - improving recipes and delicious desserts. She lives for that restaurant, but her parents want her to become a nurse, like her mother. The thought leaves her cold; she…

Rogue by Jackie Wang

In typical Wang fashion, her writing is so tight and fast-paced that I couldn’t stop reading once I started. Right off the bat, I was fully invested and needed to know the outcome for these powerful characters, who are not just relatable, but loveable. Wang is a cut above the rest, with her humor, sharp…

A Bargain in Silver by Josie Jaffrey

I really enjoy storylines that are very different and unique. So, right up front I’m going to let you know this one is about vampires. Usually vampires don’t hold my attention, what with all the blood drinking and stuff going on, but this is not the typical vampire tale. (Still drinking blood, just a little…

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

This book came highly recommended by many people and when I read the blurb I was intrigued. What followed was horror disguised as romance. Maybe I’m special - or have seen and experienced real life - and that is why I can see the dark truth hidden in this story geared towards young adults who…

Dark Wine at Midnight by Jenna Barwin

The beings referred to as the Lux are not actually human and very few know they even exist. Their goal is to protect the human population from war and extinction by an equally hidden vampire population. Although the vampires try hard to prevent overpopulation since their food source, humans, would be depleted, there is a…

Careen by Kerri Ann

This book does a wonderful job of prepping any readers who have not read the first two in the series, but I sure am glad that I read them first. They give this book deeper meaning and I was able to enjoy it so much more. So, while I highly suggest this story for all romance…
