Rating: 3.75🌈 I like Barbara Elsborg, so I didn’t want to pass up her latest holiday romance, This Is Real. A contemporary romance, it’s got a late coming out element, a snarky Englishman, a closeted American actor and a holiday movie set that brings them together. I found it entertaining and sweet with characters that… Continue reading Review: This Is Real by Barbara Elsbourg

Review: Cowboy Protection (Merry Everything Book 2) by Jodi Payne and B.A. Tortuga
Rating: 3🌈 Cowboy Protection is a terrific story that suffers from being a tale that’s only 1/2 to 2/3’s finished. You get to the ending and feel that there’s multiple chapters missing. So many storylines left dangling or completely neglected. So frustrating that it takes away from the great elements that went before. First to… Continue reading Review: Cowboy Protection (Merry Everything Book 2) by Jodi Payne and B.A. Tortuga

Review: Charlie’s Doctor (Shadow Elite Book 1) by Jocelynn Drake
Rating: 4.5 🌈 Second chance at love along with lovers reunited are among my favorite tropes. I get both with a storyline that involves several long-time mysteries, stealthy mercenaries, explosions, many shootouts, and a extremely entertaining romance to boot. It all starts with a mission in Buenos Aires , Argentina, with the former CIA, now… Continue reading Review: Charlie’s Doctor (Shadow Elite Book 1) by Jocelynn Drake

Review: The Trials (The Spell Saga Book 4) by Cari Z

The author’s note sort of leaves it open as to whether we will return to this universe and couple or not. So I’m treating it as a finale. And that comes with additional expectations.… Continue reading Review: The Trials (The Spell Saga Book 4) by Cari Z
Review: Rebel (Operation Justice Force Book Four) by Reese Knightley
Rating: 3.25🌈 I was expecting much more from this story because it was the long anticipated romance of Cohen “Ace” Gray , leader of Pegasus, and Jacob Burns , the Pegasus Tech specialist and son of the men who formed Phoenix. There was a lot to unpack emotionally between them. A big age difference, Jacob’s… Continue reading Review: Rebel (Operation Justice Force Book Four) by Reese Knightley
