The heroine in this book was great, but it earned all 5 of its stars on the hero, Jude. I love him. He’s my official new book boyfriend.

Paranormal has been really hit or miss for me lately. It can all go so horribly wrong so fast--which makes me super leery of new-to-me authors. But I’m SO glad I set my fears aside and picked this little gem up.

How to tell the difference between women’s fiction and romance novels

The difference between women’s fiction and romance novels

Why you shouldn’t EVER try to convince me your women’s fiction novel is romance

I’ve seen lots of misclassified books on Amazon lately. LOTS. OF. THEM. I don’t know if Amazon is shifting these books around erroneously, or if the authors/publishers are making mistakes, but whatever the case may be, I’m sick of it. I want to read romance novels. If I wanted to read women’s fiction, I’d go find some women’s fiction to read. There’s nothing wrong with women’s fiction, but it’s NOT romance.

Ghostly paranormal romance reads for Halloween tricks and treats

Ghostly paranormal romance reads for Halloween tricks and treats
I usually prefer my paranormal romance to feature vampires and shifters, but this year I thought, what the heck, let’s change it up a bit and recommend some ghost romance. I mean, ghosts need love too, right? At least Enzo did when he died on The Vampire Diaries...but I digress ... Anyhoo, here are some awesome ghost reads for your TBR pile. Enjoy!

The first 70% of this book is so awesome I was ready to award it 6 stars. Then the end happened and it did a bit of a face plant. But seriously, y’all, that beginning... 

Plot overview: Down-on-his-luck-and-sexily-grumpy Carson seeks the help of tragically-awkward-yet-Yoda-like-in-her-knowledge-of-baseball Milly to recover from an injury and figure out what’s gone wrong with his baseball swing. Slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance ensues. ​

It’s been a while since I hated a hero as much as I hated the hero in this book. He really outdid himself, though.

Contemporary romance novel cover design stuff that should be banned

Contemporary romance novel cover design stuff that should be banned
Not too long ago, we posted about stuff that should be banned from paranormal romance novel covers.  Now it’s time to focus on contemporaries, because they’re not without fault, either. 

Disclaimer: Like I said in the PNR covers post, this is NOT intended to shame authors, and I’m not saying that these books aren’t great. Some of them I would highly recommend. These are just my opinions and personal preferences, and no one is the boss of me. So, if these books look good to you, you shouldn’t let my opinions keep you from reading them. End PSA.

Best romances novels written from a male point-of-view

Best romances novels written from a male point-of-view

What our favorite book boyfriends really want

I don’t know about you, but I get tired of romances written only in the first person from the heroine’s POV. I mean, my whole life is in the heroine’s perspective, first person. It’s nice to read a little romance from the male POV, you know? That said, here are some of my favorite romances that aren’t afraid to delve into the male brain. (In a non-surgical, non-psycho way, of course) Enjoy!

I’ve been looking for a good mountain man romance for a while now. I mean, what’s sexier than a loner who can survive in the wild with nothing more than a manly beard, some flannel, and the ability to make chopping wood look hotter than hell? Sadly, this was not the book I was looking for.

Rockstar romance can go horribly, horribly wrong for me. But this one...this one was all kinds of right.  

Plot overview: Miles, a rockstar who was injured in a horrible tour bus crash that killed his lover/best friend, gets dancer Gelsey to help him with his physical therapy.

Like superheroes, every romance reader has an origin story. Mine is pretty typical: I purloined my grandmother’s Harlequins as an adolescent and read them far into the night. I’m guessing I’m not alone!

The ULTIMATE list of romance novel heroes who kick ass and take names

The ULTIMATE list of romance novel heroes who kick ass and take names
We did a post awhile back about romance novel heroines who kick ass, and it was hugely popular. (As it should be) But I didn’t want to leave out the romance heroes who kick ass. There’s lots of them! These are guys you wouldn’t want to pick a fight with. Men who would fight—to the death—for their families, friends and the women they love. So, without further ado, here are the men of romance who kick the most ass (in our not-so-humble opinion). Enjoy!

There were a few things in this book that could’ve gone horribly awry for me, but amazingly, it all worked out just fine. 

Plot overview: Super uptight Velma (who manages investment portfolios for a living) meets ultra not uptight Brek (who manages a rock band for a living) when his friend is about to marry Velma’s sister. Opposites-attract hilarity ensues.

The best romance novels for super fans of Dean Winchester

10/7/2019

This week marks the end of an era. On October 10, the first episode of the very last season (season 15) EVER of Supernatural will air on the CW. (Let’s all bow our heads for a moment of reverent silence) I’ve been a huge fan of the show since season 1, and despite a couple of minor missteps (*cough*Leviathans*cough), it’s been one hell of a road so far. (See, all you fans of the show will get that reference to the road so far. Everyone else...go watch the show. It’s on Netflix for crap’s sake. No excuses.)
