Thank you to Lauren Blakley and her team for the advance reader copy of Turn Me On. I always look forward to Lauren Blakley’s M/M romances and this one featured two characters with some palpable chemistry but it took way too long to take off. I am a Lauren Blakley review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. The first rule of being an attorney is don’t sleep with your clients.The second rule is–see the first rule. Those guidelines don’t account for a man like Zane Archer though. The major leaguer is all confidence and big D energy as he swaggers into my life one night at…

Thank you to Sierra Simone and her team for the advance reader copy of Villain I’d Like to F… This review will specifically cover The Conquering of Tate the Pious, Sierra’s contribution to this anthology.

Lauren Blakely’s The Good Guy Challenge ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakley and her team for the advance reader copy of The Good Guy Challenge. My favourite kind of Lauren Blakley is the super sex-positive main characters, Lauren Blakley. I am a Lauren Blakley review team member, but I remain honest and genuine in my reviews. Fake real dating the one who got away? Sign me up… There’s just something about bad boys. Tattoos and leather jackets, am I right? Trouble is, my last boyfriend was a teensy bit too bad and now he’s in prison. Yikes. When my friends challenge me to take a dip in the good guy side of the dating pool, I see their…

Skye Warren’s Hiding Places ARC Review
Thank you to Skye Warren and the team at Valentine PR for the advance reader copy of Hiding Places.

The nightmare is behind her… except someone is watching. Mateo Garza is everything she doesn’t want. Wealthy. Famous. Gorgeous. He’s also the only man she trusts.

Fiona Cole’s Falter ARC Review
Thank you to Fiona Cole and her team for the advance reader copy of Falter, the next book in the Voyeur world and the continuation of Olivia and Kent’s story. I cannot even explain how excited I get whenever Fiona announces we are returning to the Voyeur world. It means so much to me and is one of my favourite contemporary romance worlds to inhabit. When he said his vows, he told me how much he loved my determination and strength. If I wanted it, I got it. Except now all I want is to have his baby. And for the first time ever, no matter how much I want it,…

K. Webster’s The Teacher of Nothing ARC Review

Thank you to Devney Perry and her team for the advance reader copy of A Little Too Wild, the final instalment in the Madigan Mountain series. I am so excited about Devney’s Madigan Mountain story. It’s her take on a sports romance, with a one-night stand that could turn into something more.
