Review: True Hero by Susan Owensby

This is an intriguing story is about a former Navy Seal and a woman running from her abusive husband and it is filled with romance and suspense. Β While I enjoyed the story and the characters, the dialogue didn’t feel natural or realistic and I thought the hero acted immature. Ally has no other choice but […]

Quickie Review: Tycoon by Katy Evans

I love Katy Evans, but this book was not one of my favorites. The relationship between the characters felt disjointed and rushed. And as a second chance romance, I really needed to feel like these characters resolved the past and were able to solidly move forward. I didn’t get any of that. Β Instead, they jumped […]

Review:  All I Am by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Despite my questionable relationship with novellas, I had to pick this up and jump back into the THIS MAN world. Β And I have to say, Drew’s story did not disappoint. Drew, one of Jesse’s best friends, holds himself back from women. Β He’s been burned before and he’s not willing to risk his love for anyone […]

Review:  The Idea of You by Robinne Lee

I liked the premise of this book, an older woman falling in love with a much younger man. Β It even had the added twist that he’s a teenage heartthrob in the latest hit boy band. I liked the relationship between Solene and Hayes. Β Despite the age difference these two clicked. Β Hayes pursued and Solene let […]
