At Her Service by Joey W. Hill
★★★★★ @JoeyWHill #AtHerService Fluidity and adaptability allow resilience in many things. This is both shown in At Her Service and Ms. Hill's writing style. In the latest Mistresses of Board Room, it is less about BDSM and more about the human condition. I loved reading this book because it tackles hard problems that society would prefer to sweep under the rug or pretend never existed. Ms. Hill must have spent many hours, weeks, and months researching for this book becaus

Review: Fated Blades by Ilona Andrews
★★★★★ @ilona_andrews #FatedBlades #MustBuy #MustRead Around 2:30 AM this morning, Amazon notified me that this book is ready for me to read. What did I do? Download this puppy right onto my kindle and start reading. A couple of hours later or less, I'm thoroughly entertained and want to read it again. For those who have never read the Kinsmen series, this can be read as a standalone. It is absolutely fabulous and I loved every word of it. This Montague and Capulet theme is

Review: Fire Inside by Kristen Ashley
★★★ ½ As a fan of the Rock Chick motorcycle club series, I figured I probably need to read up on the Chaos MC that is mentioned here and there. Specifically, with the new Dream Team series, the Chaos men show up every now and again. I did start out of order with book two and it's easy to pick it up. It may be better with the backstory from book 1. The first 20% or so of this book, I thought, maybe I don't want to read the rest of this series. It starts out slow and Lanie

Review: Demons Prefer Blondes by Sidney Ayers
★★ #TBRPile Picking from my massive to be read pile (TPR), this book moves up. When I first added this to my bookshelf 10 years ago, this book blurb reminded me of a mix between Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead and the Caruthers Sisters by Candace Havens. Unfortunately, as nice as this cover is and as amusing as the title is, this book isn't anything like either series mentioned above. I am a bit disappointed with this book because several of my friends rated it hi

Review: Bared Magic by Sara R. Cleveland
★★★ ½ @shcleveland @booksirens #BaredMagic Full disclosure, I didn't read the fine print. Specifically, I didn't read the blurb. All I saw was the headline "What happens when Goldilocks finds a bed that's a little TOO right?" What did I see instead? When Goldilocks finds a bed that's a little too tight... So I assumed this was a reinterpretation of Goldilocks and the Three Bears with an erotic twist. About 50% into the book, I experienced bangixiety and realized I need

Review: Forgotten in Death by J.D. Robb
★★★½ When I first started this book it felt similar to the other "in Death" books. A dead body shows up, Eve is assigned to look into it, Roarke's property is involved, and Roarke helps out. I don't mind this, it just becomes kind of status quo. Like another lovely episode to Murder, She Wrote. Then about a third of the way into the story, it changes. Why? Because of what Ms. Robb excels at - character development. Plus the way Eve respects the dead and fights for them is

Review: Far from Bliss by Lexi Blake
★★★★ @authorlexiblake #FarfromBliss @jennw23 Returning back to Bliss feels like a homecoming. All the quirky characters in this small town are back and then some. What I love about this series is how Ms. Blake shows the pros and cons of living in a town with a small population. Granted this town is a bit heavier loaded with kinky folks and former law enforcement so it's a bit different than your usual town. If I could pick a place to retire and live, this is the place I w

Dream Keeper by Kristen Ashley
★★★★ @KristenAshley68 @NetGalley #DreamKeeper He did it again. Cisco steals every single bloody one of the books in this series. When will Cisco get his own story? I want to know, because it isn't this one. In this one, we get to meet the most adorable and precocious little girl, Juno. Juno is Pepper's daughter. Pepper is the latest in the Dream team to be matched up. Her match up? Auggie. Auggie is a great guy and he comes with baggage. What I find disappointing abo

Review: On the Hunt by Gena Showalter
★★★ #TBRPile @genashowalter @ShannonKButcher A decade has come and gone since I first learned of this book and added it to my TBR pile. Where does the time go? I picked this book up specifically because I'm a Gena Showalter fan. I tend to enjoy anthologies because I find new authors to read. Usually, it's authors writing in a genre and style I like. This anthology is a bit of a hit-and-miss for me. My guess is that had I read this 10 years ago, I would have been more impres

Review: Hunter's Hope by Alyssa Day
★★★ ½ @Alyssa_Day #HuntersHope @NetGalley Tired of the dreary news on TV? Want to be swept away into a fantasy world with a hot protective vampire? Try Hunter's Hope. When it comes to sweet romances that are fun, upbeat, and sweet, Ms. Day delivers every time. I have yet to read a story of hers that doesn't give a reader warm fuzzies. This feel-good romance is the second in the series and can be read as a standalone. If you are looking for a motorcycle club theme, this m

Then I don't read it. Why? I don't know. Read this book. I loved it. I read it all in one sitting through the wee hours of the night. This is a page-turner and unexpected. Specifically, I didn't expect a supernatural element to it. I believe there is a little nod to The Bourbon T

Review: Dark Mirror by M.J. Putney
★★★★ @MaryJoPutney #MaryJoPutney #DarkMirror #TBRPile Working through my TBR Pile as I'm more or less caught up with my overdue review books from the review sites, I find this little gem. This is the name Mary Jo Putney writes under for her Young Adult fiction. Had I known this was YA, I would have removed this from my TBR Pile. I am so glad I was blissfully ignorant because I would have missed a great book. At first, I thought this book may be a mistake. I don't read his

Review: Banewreaker by Jacqueline Carey
★★★★★ @JCareyAuthor #ThrowbackReview Coming fresh off of Kushiel's trilogy, I immediately picked up this book from Ms. Carey back in 2004. Thinking back to this book, I'm still impressed with its unique perspective. From then till now, I have read another 5535 books (according to GoodReads) and have not encountered another book as innovative in this manner. Warning alert. This duology is from the perspective of the losing side, even though they are the Good, not the Evil.

Review: Beauty by Sophie Oak
★★★★ @authorlexiblake #Beauty #ThrowbackReview What hot smexy goodness is this? What I'm most sad about, is that this is the last book in this series. Or at least it seems like this as Ms. Blake looks to be writing less and less in her Sophie Oak name. Quite honestly, Ms. Blake reminds me of Jayne Ann Krentz and her pen names. Let's be real here. I don't care what name Lexi Blake writes under. If she writes it, I must have it. I must read it. This one is a must read a

Her goal is to find out what the ex-emperor, Gerard is doing. As a covert spy, Kit drags her crew into perilous waters and she might drown in the expectations required of her and her people. This is not a romance novel. Whilst there is a romantic thread between Rian and Kit, this is foremost, a no
