Everything about this book makes me excited. The cover, the story, the setting(s) – J.R. Rogue knocked it out of the park with her third novel. This is not your typical love story. It’s raw, revealing, and you may find your heart snagging on some of the shattered dreams inside. Nevertheless, the best books are…

Weightless – Review
I have had Weightless on my Kindle for over a year, and on my TBR even longer. Everyone raves about Kandi Steiner’s books in the Romance world, and I knew it was time to get on board, especially after meeting her in person at Holidays with the Belles. Kandi was ridiculously awesome and gracious! After enjoying Weightless as much as…
The Sounds of Secrets – Review
The Sounds of Secrets was my second Whitney Barbetti book after reading Ten Below Zero at the end of last year. She’s quickly becoming a favorite of mine, making me eager to read the rest of her novels! Of the two novels I’ve read, I can attest to the heart poured into the stories and the powerful message…
For Now – Review
I’m always nervous to read debut novels of Indie authors because the stories are often hit or miss. If you’re like me, let me ease your mind: Kat Savage has without a doubt written a hit with For Now. I’m not just saying that because I’m a fan of Kat’s poetry collections. Of course, I hoped to love this…
The Foxe & the Hound – Review
When my fellow Texan, R.S. Grey, releases a new book, I am always eager to read it. Her books always happen to come out at a great time for me, though when is there a bad time to read a book by her? I know her stories will make me laugh because they are always…
The Silent Waters – Review
I can’t get this book out of my head. I keep reflecting on the characters, the emotion of the storyline, and the growth the characters experienced throughout the novel. I loved “aging” with the characters. This is something I wish more authors would incorporate in their novels, by allowing characters and readers to come full…
In This Life – Review
“You are my madness, my sanity, my darkness, and my light. I will never know one without the other. I don’t want to live a life if it isn’t a life with you.” I was lucky enough to discover Christine Brae’s In This Life through Tarryn Fisher’s Facebook group at the beginning of this year. Without Tarryn’s…
London Belongs to Me – Review
As an Anglophile, I knew I had to read London Belongs to Me as soon as I saw Colleen Hoover post a giveaway for this title on Instagram. I love everything about England and was in need of a cheerful bit of Chick-Lit to read after the heavy books I’ve been hitting lately. Jacquelyn Middleton hit the ball…
Ten Below Zero – Review
I don’t have the slightest idea where to start with this book. It’s one of the greats that stole my words and left me with the most beautiful mess of emotions. When I pick up a novel, I read for experience, understanding, and emotion. Occasionally, I read to escape or venture to a different location. Ten…
Atheists Who Kneel and Pray – Review
“Gimme, Gimme more, Gimme, More, Gimme, Gimme, More..” Tarryn Fisher makes me sing Britney Spears after every book of hers I finish. I want more of her words. I want to live inside her mind. I want to be her friend, absorb some of her badassery. She’s my favorite author for a reason, but often…
The Evolution of Ivy: Poison – Review
Bad. Bad. BAD….but so GOOD. The Evolution of Ivy: Poison is an addicting debut novel from Lauren Campbell. The main character, Ivy, is a tormented young girl enduring an endlessly painful life. “I scurry to the back of the classroom, making eye contact with no one, and take my seat. New outfits, fresh haircuts, and confidence…
The Allure of Dean Harper – Review
While I loved Dean in Julian’s book and couldn’t wait to dive into this story, I was a little disappointed with what a jerk Dean could be in this book, whether Lily brought it out in him or not. I love a good hate to love story, but I felt as if the hate aspect…
The Allure of Julian Lefray – Review
Can I just say, I love R.S. Grey?! When life sucks with entirely too much adulting going on (hello, responsibility), Grey’s books are a welcome distraction and escape from reality. Her writing is always fun, easy to get lost in, and witty. The Allure of Julian Lefray was no exception! I enjoyed being able to buddy read this…
Infinity + One – Review
Amy Harmon…I could go on and on about this amazing lady’s talents. Since discovering her books last year, after reading The Bird and the Sword, I’ve been slowly making my way through her entire catalog. Her writing appeals to my personality so perfectly, and some of her books are among my all-time favorite reads. Her books…
Preston’s Honor – Review
Mia Sheridan can always be counted on to craft beautiful, intense love stories, and she does not disappoint with Preston’s Honor. Out of the wonderful 17 books I’ve read in 2017 thus far, Preston’s Honor is my favorite. I was drawn in from the first chapter, immediately making it a book I didn’t want to put down. The…
Mists of the Serengeti – Review
Mists of the Serengeti is not the typical book I would ditch my TBR pile for. However, after a friend gifted me this book and I saw the overwhelming number of positive reviews, I decided to jump in. This book had everything I look for in a story– beautiful writing, plenty of emotions, educational moments, and love! …
Tell Me Where it Hurts – Review
Let me tell you where it hurts, it hurts within the pages of this short book of poetry. I’ve never rushed to write a review as quickly as I needed to with this book. It begged to be written while the emotions were still fresh. JR Rogue should be proud of Tell Me Where it Hurts….
Punk 57 – Review
When this book was released in October of this 2016, I saw it everywhere on Goodreads and Facebook. It was an instant hit with exceptional reviews. I immediately added it to my TBR and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. I love books centered around pen pals, as that’s something I thoroughly enjoy,…
Bad Mommy – Review
There is a reason Tarryn … (wait, what’s her name again?) Fisher is my favorite writer of all-time, and it was further solidified with Bad Mommy. I’ve read every single Tarryn book this year alone, and I’ve never read anything as deep and soul-stirring as her writing. She gets to the darkest depths of humanity, slashes…
The Fire Between High & Lo – Review
Originally published in 2016. Since I will be attending The Bookworm Box signing on December 10th in Sulpher Springs, Texas, I wanted to check a few more books off of my TBR list from authors attending the signing. Brittainy C. Cherry is one of the authors attending that I’m anxious to have the chance to…
