Review: Black Tie Optional by Ann Marie Walker

Sexy, Fun and Full of Feeling! I thoroughly enjoyed this read. The story itself wasn’t anything new – standard hot billionaire man meets his match in gorgeous, complete opposite woman, needs an insta-wife to keep his fortune … then attraction ensues. But where this one differs is the writing, the amazing character development, the intelligent […]

Review:  Roar by Cora Carmack

It is hard to put into words my thoughts on Roar by Cora Carmack. Β It is a high fantasy book for sure and my favorite genre. Roar’s premise is ridiculously fresh and original. Who would think to use storms as the enemy of the people in this new world. Β Just like any fantasy book, a […]

Review: Delayed Call by Toni Aleo

I always enjoy Toni Aleo’s hockey stories but I have to admit, I was disappointed with this one. Β I thought the dialogue missed it’s mark and rather than being witty, the banter seemed silly and made the characters feel immature and unrealistic.

WALK OF SHAME is just the right blend of everything I love in a book. It is a delightfully funny, feel good story.
