Current Favorite Reads

I have been getting a lot of questions lately about what I am currently reading. As you know, my tastes are eclectic and I bounce around between fantasy, rom-com, historical and so-on! Check out some of my favorite recent reads here.

Midnight Moon by Linsey Hall

What I liked: The heroine (who thinks she is human) is swept up into a world of werewolves who are insanely wealthy and powerful. Spicy alert! There is some great tension between the hero and heroine which kept me hooked straight through, not to mention the almost impossible position the heroine is stuck in. This book has a nice bite. (See what I did there? 😆)

All the Feels: Olivia Dade

What I liked: Again - spicy alert! I really enjoyed the dialogue in this book. So much so, that I ended up going back and picking up a few other books of hers. It was funny, size-inclusive, and also addressed some of the challenges of ADHD through the Hero’s path in an understanding and empathetic way.

Wild Knight by Annabel Chase

What I liked: I liked the world-building in this book - it’s post-apoc meets vampire romance. I enjoyed the humor that was laced through the book which lightened parts that could have become too intense. And who doesn’t love enemies-to-lovers romance? If you’re looking for urban fantasy mixed with romance - this is a great pick!

Ink by Elizabeth Hunter

What I liked: This book hits some of my favorite tropes - small town, bookstore makeover, and a slow-build romance. With a cast of funny and interesting side characters, I zipped right through this story and am downloading the next in series already. It hit just the right notes of sweet and sexy mixed with sassy humor. I’m already looking forward to Tayla’s story next.

Bringing Down the Duke: Evie Dunmore

What I liked: I’m a sucker for a good historical romance. Add in strong writing, great dialogue, and an enemies-to-lovers tension build? Delightful! I can’t help but love when a historical romance breaks the tension with fun banter and moments of humor. Perfect escapism.

Satisfaction Guaranteed by Karelia Stetz-Waters

What I liked: Just to note - this is a heroine + heroine romance. This book packs such an emotional punch that I absolutely flew through it. I wanted to give the author a standing ovation when I finished. It features so many great tropes that I love - store makeover, leaving big city for small town, insecure heroine finally owning her own power. The romance was so well done that I cheered for Cade & Selena when they finally admitted their feelings for each other.

Seducing a Stranger by Kerrigan Bryne

What I liked: If you’re fans of Lisa Kleypas, I highly recommend Kerrigan Byrne. This story takes you to the days of Scotland Yard with a tightly wound Chief Inspector who discovers that Prudence - a woman desperate to escape a boring life - may be the one thief he can’t catch. Thief of his heart, that is. (Don’t hate me - that line works, doesn’t it? 😄)

Shameless Plug by Tricia O’Malley

Ahem, I mean…while you’re here…why not introduce you to the first book in my new series? I bowed to your demands, my delightful readers, and am taking you back to Ireland where romance, magickal fae, and enchanted bloodlines make for an addictive read.
