Despite the darkness of its title, Desolation is a truly delightful and well-rounded debut novel from R.L. Caulder.

Sober up, Lana! Sober up! You’re talking to a Goddess!” Our heroine, Lana, is – in a...

ShamelessSybil Bartel(Alpha Bodyguard #8)Publication date: June 18th 2020Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance Bodyguard. Shadow. Warrior. The Marines trained me to be a weapon. Tactical warfare was in my blood. I didn’t think twice when I was deployed for the fifth time because I was born battle ready. Then a mission went south and left me with a medical discharge. Too many years downrange, I didn’t fit in the civilian world. Taking a job wit...

Kissed by Carla Krae
Contemporary Romance / May 19, 2015

KISSED by Carla Krae My rating: 4 of 5 stars *I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.* I’ll admit, best friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes. Throw in a sexy British accent and bad boy attitude, and the result is pretty freaking steamy. I loved the characters and found them to be reasonably and believably developed. And I may have fallen more than a little in love with Jake. The o...

Guarded Passion (Wyatt Brothers Book 3)

I loved the ideas in this book, and it was an easy, quick read. There were lots of great moments of humor, and the ending made me happy. I don’t feel, however, like I ever really got to connect with the characters. I liked the story, but they never felt real to me. I would have liked to see more chances to really connect with the characters and become immersed in their story and struggles. I also often felt like the love scenes we...
