https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js 30. Rock Chick Reborn by Kristen Ashley. The problematic rep in this was baked in long ago when Ashley created Shrileen, so I can't recommend it to anyone, especially when so much makes me shake my head, however I did enjoy having the Hot Bunch/Rock Chicks play matchmaker. — Ana Coqui (@anacoqui) April 6,…

Last year I wrote a post breaking down the RITA finalists list against the books I happened to read the year before (2017) and looking at the list to see which books were in my TBR in order to move them up before the annual ceremony in July. This year when the list was announced there…

My Biker romance tastes are very specific and narrow. The biker has to be tough, dangerous and dirty but not truly a bad apple and the heroine has to have a lot autonomy to gives as good as she get and has to have a pretty darn good reason for getting involved with said Biker.…

The temperatures outside are frightful and there is nothing more delightful than sitting around in my pajamas and not doing much more than reading all day.

Best Contemporary I read a lot of fantastic Contemporary Romance this year, but three books stood out as giving me all the happy sighs. My favorite book of the year is Alisha Rai's "Wrong to Need You". It came out this week. And I need everyone to finish reading it so they can also nominate…

I have read multiple books by 4 out of these 5 authors, so it was an easy decision to pick up this book. Even not knowing who wrote which story, I could count on enjoying the anthology as whole.…

This weekend I indulged in a mini-binge of books that can be summed up as beards and emotional baggage. First off I read Adriana Anders, Under Her Skin (Blank Canvas 1). It is a story about finding a safe harbor, working toward self-acceptance, and starting over. There really great depictions of female friendships, a richly…

Mary Balogh's Indiscreet (1st book in the Horsemen Trilogy) was reissued last fall and I bought it last month when it went on sale ($2.99) Balogh was one of the first romance novelists I encountered when I started raiding my library's ebook collection in 2011. Although I usually enjoy her novels, I found myself distressed…
