Oh, it pains me to write this review. 😖 I love Opal Carew so much, but Unwilling Mate just didn’t work for me. I’m especially bummed because I enjoyed the first book in this series, Forbidden Mate, so much. Eva has been burned by love. Although she’s now divorced from her cheating ex-husband, she still […]
Mentor is book #4 in the Penthouse Pleasures series, but can be read as a standalone. Oh how I wanted to love Mentor, but unfortunately this one missed the mark for me. Most of the book felt so random, like the authors were throwing the erotic romance kitchen sink at the plot. Elle works in […]
After being in a romance reading slump for far too long, Forbidden Mate by Opal Carew is just the escape I needed! Aria’s life is a lonely one. Abandoned by her birth mother and raised in the foster care system, she never knew what it was like to belong to a family. She has acquaintances […]
Played by the Master Desperate to help her sister and brother-in-law, Jacquie attempts to persuade billionaire Race Danner to aid them. This isn’t the type of story I typically read—I tend to stay away from billionaires—but I adore Opal Carew’s books. Played by the Master reads very much like a fantasy, which is how I […]
It pains me to rate an Opal Carew book so low. Normally, I avoid billionaire heroes, but since Carew is one of my favorite authors, I wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately, this just didn’t work for me. Drilled takes the construction worker trope and gives it a twist. In this novella, Danielle (Danni) […]
Wow. I can honestly say that I’ve never read anything quite like The Red by Tiffany Reisz. The book has a dreamlike quality that pervades the entire reading experience, so much that I found myself thinking about it over and over, even when I wasn’t actively reading it. Before the death of her mother, Mona […]
Not Safe for Work by Charlotte Stein is crazy hot. It’s a novella, which means it’s over way too soon, but wow…Stein sure knows how to pack a punch with this m/m/f menage story. Normally, I avoid billionaire heroes like the plague, but I adore Stein and was pleased to learn that the billionaire angle […]
I might sound like a broken record, but Opal Carew is definitely one of my favorite erotic romance authors. She hit it out of the park with her recent Dirty Talk series. Her latest release, Heat, is another super hot, emotional story that I enjoyed. Rikki has moved to a new town in hopes of getting […]
Twice as Hard by Amber Bardan is billed as a dark, taboo romance. In reality, there’s a significant plot twist halfway through that changes the course of the book. There’s also quite a bit of angst thrown in for good measure. While portions of the story are super hot, the twist threw off the story […]
How is it possible for a book to be completely smutty but also romantic at the same time? In a word: Ruthless. Ruthless is book #2 in Gina L. Maxwell’s Playboys in Love series, which follows a group of friends who also happen to be male strippers (very Magic Mike). Roman Reeves is a dichotomy: […]
