Yep, it's that time of year again. The inevitable office party, family get together or random social gathering involving a Secret Santa gift exchange. Some people love ‘em, others hate them with a white hot passion (raising hand). Either way, the one thing all of them have in common is the craptastic, unimaginative gifts that show their sad faces year after year. Well that’s about to end because this year, we’ve got you covered with a list of gifts that’ll make your friends, family or coworkers squeal with joy. You’re welcome.

ROMANTIC COMEDY

Title: Miss Fix-It
Author: Emma Hart    
Publication date: 10/31/17
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

I have to start out by saying that I’m a fan of this author. I LOVED Being Brooke. But sadly, this one just fell a little flat for me.

But while my overall opinion was kind of “meh,” there were a few things that I really enjoyed:
  • The idea of a “gender swap” romance where the traditional male/female roles are swapped is a great one. I loved it that Kali was the strong, competent builder and Brantley was a dude who couldn’t put together IKEA furniture. (Not that that’s anything to be ashamed of...that shit is NOT easy to figure out)​

Gifts you should NEVER give a woman (and alternatives that’ll keep her from hurting you)

Gift NOT to give a woman
Look, we realize our audience is probably 90% women, and this post might not reach a ton of dudes. That’s OK. Because we still want to help the men out there. Just because the majority of them aren’t in our reading audience, doesn’t mean we like the thought of them blindly stumbling through this holiday season, making gifting faux paus that could haunt them for years to come. If we can help only a handful of dudes make smart buying decisions this year, so be it. With that in mind, ladies, we’re asking that you pass this one along to the men in your lives. (Subtly, of course. Let them think they found this one all on their own.) So, without further ado, here is our list of gifts you should NEVER give the woman in your life:

ROMANTIC COMEDY

Author: Katie Oliver    
Publication date: 02/29/16
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

I have a confession to make. I’m not a Jane Austen fan. There, I’ve said it. All you Colin Firth fans out there can quit reading now if you feel it necessary. I’ve never daydreamed about finding my own Mr. Darcy, or of being Lizzie or Jane Bennet. Nope, no siree. Not. A. Fan.

So what, you might ask, made me pick up a book that’s part of a series titled The Jane Austen Factor?  I dunno. Temporary insanity?

As we said, you can 1-click any of her books with confidence, but here are 10 of our all-time favorites:

ROMANTIC EROTICA

Title: Drawn That Way
Author: Bronwyn Green   
Publication date: 04/09/2015
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

Now, I’m not willing to say that I’m a big fan of romantic erotica YET. My failures are still too fresh in my mind. But this book served as a good reminder of why a reader should never close themselves off from an entire category of books based on a few bad choices.

First of all, I’m a fan of Bronwyn Green. I read Rewritten, and thought it was brilliant. Drawn That Way is a little different than Rewritten, in that it is less of a category hopper—meaning, I would say this one can be classified more securely as romantic erotica than contemporary romance.

Romance tropes we can’t get enough of

Romance tropes we can’t get enough of
So, not too long ago, we posted our thoughts on romance tropes we never want to see again.  And we had a few people ask, well, if you don’t want to see those tropes, what DO you want to see? Glad you asked. We have a few things we’d LOVE to see more of in Romance Land going forward.

10 Best paranormal romance protagonists who AREN’T vampires or werewolves

10 Best paranormal protagonists who AREN'T vampires or werewolves
For a while there, for some reason (*cough*Twilight*cough*) you couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting a vampire or a werewolf in Romance Land. (Not that we kill and/or swing cats, because, ew...it’s just an expression) So, it’s not surprising that when you say the words “paranormal romance”, some readers automatically assume you’re talking about vampires that may or may not sparkle in the sunlight and brooding werewolves suffering from unrequited love. But we’re here to tell you that you CAN read paranormal romance that’s not about vampires and werewolves, and we have the recommendations to prove it! Here are our top picks for paranormal romances that DON’T feature a vampire or werewolf protagonist:

(Note: a few of these might be officially classified as urban fantasy, but we’ve included them in this list because there’s a strong romantic element in each, and if the romance was to be removed, the story would be negatively impacted. Plus, it’s our list and we do what we want. No one is the boss of us. So, let’s not debate the differences between paranormal romance and urban fantasy, m’kay? This is just for fun.)

PARANORMAL ROMANCE

Title: Semi-Sane
Author: Isabel Jordan  
Publication date: 11/17/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

In case I haven’t made it abundantly clear, I’m a fan of this series. If you don’t believe me, check out my review of the last book, Semi-Broken. I take every opportunity I can to promote this series because for me, it’s everything I love in a romance: it makes me laugh, it makes me sniffle (because I DO NOT cry, damn it), and it makes me swoon over the sexy, brooding alpha- male hero.

CONTEMPORARY  ROMANCE

Author: Tara Wylde & Holly Hart  
Publication date: 09/23/2017
Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Cliffhanger: I dunno

I’m starting to feel like I’m being Punk’d, and that Ashton Kutcher is going to jump out of my closet at any moment and laugh in my face about having tricked me into reading so many bad books these days. I mean, this is getting to be ridiculous. Can I not trust hot guys on the cover, good blurbs, and tons of positive, glowing reviews anymore? What gives?

I stopped reading this book at 7%. But Jennifer, you say, how can you review a book that you only read to 7%? Isn’t that unfair to the authors?

Falling into Right

CONTEMPORARY  ROMANCE

Title: Falling Into Right
Author: Sharon Kay  
Publication date: 10/24/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No
    
After reading and enjoying Record of Wrongs, reading Falling Into Right was a no brainer. And once again, the author didn’t let me down.

Becca is a super relatable heroine. She’s had some rough times and did some stupid things, but when the story starts, she’s paid her dues and is doing her level best to move on with her life, to become a good, contributing member of society. Who among us can’t relate to having to overcome a few past questionable decisions?
(I myself am still trying to overcome pictures of the spiral perm and MC Hammer pants that I attempted to rock back in the late 80s, early 90s...but I digress…)
