Disclaimers first! This post was born from the comments thread of a months-old post on the Smart Bitches, Trashy Books blog, where a few other readers and I talked briefly about the reverse harem trope and its popularity. While I have coauthored several reverse harem (RH) romance books, I should say that I do not …
(Here’s something I wrote a little while ago when I finally decided to kick these bad boys to the curb! We did rebound again after the break-up letter, but it’s been a few weeks we’ve been “off” again, haha.) Dear PB M&Ms, I first want to say how grateful I am for the time you’ve …
Wolf shifters! Who doesn’t love them? I’m assuming if you love shifters in general, then you also love them wolves. What makes them so appealing? The hierarchy of the pack. It may not be entirely based on the real world. In fact, I’ve read a couple of articles (here’s one) that say the whole “alpha” …
Every quarter or so, I like to take a look back at which books have been tickling my eyeballs. Most of my reading choices come from BookBub deals and from the Smart Bitches, Trashy Books blog (reviews, sales, the Help a Bitch Out feature, and the Hide Your Wallet feature).

I posted this little graphic on Facebook a while ago, but I didn’t spend too much time talking about why these are some of my favorite book kisses. So, let’s go! Hope Reclaimed (with Keira Blackwood). I love the first kissing scene where Aidan kisses Hope in the hallway. He’s so bossy and so in …
This is not everything I’ve read, just five selected books that I can recommend. 🙂 In case you can’t read the graphic, I’ll type out the info below. I’ve linked to all the stores I could find them on. Apple Books doesn’t seem to be working with my link maker right now, but these should …
Reason #1–I mean, look at this guy. They’re gorgeous (and they know it to the depths of their Right-Said-Fred-singing souls). They have attitude. They move with grace. They’re curious. They’re territorial (but in a good way, not a creepy, time-for-a-restraining-order way). They might act like they don’t care, but they’re loyal AF. How about you? …
I was thinking about my favorite tropes (I have many!) and why they appeal to me so much. One that I really love is second-chance romances. This strikes me as odd for a pretty big reason: I used to not believe in them! I truly thought that if a couple broke up, it was a …
For the past couple of years, I’ve been really trying to focus on gratitude. My default demeanor is cranky and pessimistic, so I started making an effort to write three things I’m thankful for in my diary every morning. It got very boring until my friend Ona told me I wasn’t allowed to repeat the …
Filthy Cowboy is coming out in January, and I’m so excited! Here’s my love list for the book: an innocent librarian heroine a taciturn cowboy hero a dark past scary bad guy references to The Bachelor a couple of librarian jokes made me giggle the hero and heroine were pen pals before they were lovers …
