Tipsy lizard for the win! Okay, that’s not what this book is about but I loved this sentence and just had to use it. Sliced Ice is a collection of ten short stories, displaying every facet of Lee Winter’s talent: comedy, banter, steamy scenes… Even though they weren’t written specifically as a collection, they work … Continue reading Sliced Ice – Lee Winter
3.5⭐️ - With Sliced Ice coming out, I realised I’d never read this sequel to The Red Files. I have to admit I didn’t remember much about The Red Files (if you follow my reviews, you’ll know it usually doesn’t have a lot to do with the quality of the book), which made it a … Continue reading Under Your Skin (On The Record #2) – Lee Winter
When you open a book by Fiona Zedde, you know it’s going to be sexy. Even more so if one of the main characters is a respected and feared madam. House of Agnes is definitely sexy but it’s so much more than just a sexy book. Lola Osbourne is an investigative reporter intent on bringing … Continue reading House of Agnes – Fiona Zedde
4.5⭐️ - Finding a job and a place to stay is tricky for all ex-cons but Nadine Bayani’s situation comes with its own set of challenges. Nadine confessed to campaign finance crimes, a scandal that led to the victory of a horrible Republican candidate at the US presidential election. Republicans hate her because they see … Continue reading Worthy of Love – Quinn Ivins
I’m not going to add much to my original review, except to say that this was my first Angela Dawe narration (life is weird) and yes, I understand the hype. The narration itself is smooth and spellbinding. She gives each character their own voice, there’s never any risk of mistaking one for another. I wasn’t … Continue reading Hotel Queens – Lee Winter & Angela Dawe (narrator)
3.5⭐️ - Never Say Never is Rachael Sommers’s debut novel and it’s a pretty good start, especially if you enjoy age gap celebrity ice queen romances. Between college and university, Emily Walker needs to earn money and has applied to be a full-time nanny. She’s new to New York, where she doesn’t know anyone except … Continue reading Never Say Never – Rachael Sommers
Even in the direst circumstances, Easy Nevada remains obnoxious, and there’s something reassuring about that. If you’re not French, you probably haven’t heard of Jean-Paul Belmondo. He was one of the most famous French actors when I was a child. He acted in fantastic movies, like Breathless, but he was at his best in comedic … Continue reading You, Me, and the Sunken Treasure (The Cushing-Nevada Chronicles #3) – Georgette Kaplan
Hotel Queens might be my new favourite Lee Winter book, or at least it’s at the top with Breaking Character and Requiem for Immortals. Amelia Duxton is a genius but she’s also a lesbian, and for that reason keeps being passed over in favour of her nasty brother Oliver. It would be annoying in any … Continue reading Hotel Queens – Lee Winter
4.5* - Book covers don't affect me as much now that I mostly read ebooks as when I used to buy loads of paper books but even if I hadn't loved the first book in the Payback series, the cover for this sequel would have convinced me to give it a try. It's reminiscent of … Continue reading Fair Game (Payback #2) – Charlotte Mills
Where do I start with this book? A couple of days ago, my friend Tere told me I should watch The American President, with Michael Douglas as the President of the United States, Andrew Shepherd, a widower and single father, and Annette Bening as Sydney Ellen Wade, the woman he falls for, an environmental lobbyist. … Continue reading Presidential – Lola Keeley
