Review:  Cutting Out by Meredith Shayne

“Cutting Out” was a bit of a departure from what I normally go for.Β  Yes, it’s a gay love story, but this one was something more.Β  It was gritty, angsty, and sad alongside a budding May/December romance between two rough and hardened men. The whole story takes place in Australia along the sheep shearing pipeline. […]

Review:  What I Told My Daughter: Lessons from Leaders on Raising the Next Generation of Empowered Women by Nina Tassler

This is such an inspiring and uplifting collection of letters and experiences. It’s something every woman should read to her daughter or with her daughter. It shows how although we all may come from different backgrounds and life experiences we all essentially want our daughters to be the best they can be, we want them […]

Review: Thief of Lies by Brenda Drake

I really enjoyed this one. I borrowed it from a friend who had won it at RT. I loved the cover and the blurb and hoped the story matched them. Gia was a fantastic teenage heroine. She had angst but also a fierce belief that she could do whatever the boys were doing. She proved […]

Review:  Cuff Me by Lauren Layne

Cuff Me is the 3rd book in the New York Finest series by Lauren Layne and this book is hands down my favorite so far. Β What this book gave me that I haven’t gotten recently in my endless days and nights of reading romance was a hero that wasn’t broody and tortured. Β Vin is a […]

An ATF Agent and a biker make a strange but interesting pairing in Last Mile by Katie Ashley, the third book in her Vicious Cycle series. Samantha Vargas witnessed her father’s death when he’s one assignment for her job, and that fuels her need to put away the bad guys. This includes the Hells Raiders, […]
