Book Review: Yours to Keep
Super cute, and with some laugh-out-loud moments. Those LOL moments are why I keep coming back to Stacey’s books–this family is hilarious and I’d totally hang out with them. Especially because it would mean I get to bag a Kowalski man (seriously, they’re everywhere. This is the biggest family I’ve ever read about). (Also, in …
Book Review: Prime Minister
Prime Minister, by Ainsley Booth and Sadie Haller, is a contemporary erotic romance. Some readers complained that they got bored midway through, and it’s true that the pacing isn’t super tight–however, I was riveted by the characters! Ellie and Gavin had me cheering for them from the very beginning! Especially fun was the first third …

The book gets an A+ for handling the hero’s backstory, and the heroine’s reluctance to be in a relationship. These were two very complicated characters who I nevertheless …
Three Recent Loves

A Lady Awakened, by Celia Grant. Both of these characters developed so well and thoroughly throughout the story, it was super satisfying to …
Book Review: In the Middle of Somewhere
I read this book a few months ago, but it has really stuck with me. Daniel’s journey, especially, struck a chord–he’s from a big city and comes from a family that doesn’t support who he is. The angst in this book is palpable. I mean, even the cover is angsty in its own smexy way. …
Three Recent Loves
The Goal, by Elle Kennedy As a fan of this series, I already had high expectations for the book. Kennedy did not disappoint, delivering the fantastic, witty banter, the FEELS (ohmygosh the feels), and a super satisfying story. I love a book that makes me laugh out loud, and the Off-Campus books definitely do this. …
