My Review:

Irresistibly Wicked is the seventh book in The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside series. Easily one of my favorite books of 2025, this story is fun, emotional, and fast paced. Shauna and Zander are brought together in a heart-stopping manner that changes both their lives forever. 

I devoured this book. Shauna and Zander are amazing and wonderful characters. I was totally engaged in their story. I enjoyed their interactions, their personalities, and how they evolved throughout the book. 

Melissa Foster crafted a realistic and steamy romance with drama, humor, and so much emotion.

My Review:

Vixen’s Guide to Christmas is another amazing book in the Guide to Love series.

I absolutely adored Kat and Grayson’s story. Both are fantastic characters. Tossed together during a speed dating event, they don’t realize they are rivals. They had a connection from the second they met. That connection continues to increase throughout the entire novel. 

I love the author's writing style; smooth and conversational. Wonderful world building with descriptions so vivid I felt like I was there. The character development is exceptional. I love each character's personality, how they were created, the three-dimensional qualities, and their uniqueness.

#BookReview ~ Afternoon Delight by Dani Collins ~ #ReverseAgeGap #Romance #RomanticComedy #RomCom

Afternoon Delight by Dani Collins is now live!

About the Book:

Freshly divorced and nearing forty, Meg regrets making all the safe choices. When her best friend needs surgery, Meg puts her accounting career on hold to run her friend's racy adult toy shop--but her vanilla life never prepared her for this!

At thirty-two, Zak leaves the tech world for his dad's antique store, wanting time with him before dementia erases his father's memories. He's Meg's landlord, but she becomes his confidante, distracting him from his troubles with her suggestive puns and amusing misadventures.

Flirty banter leads to test-driving toys together, but Meg knows they won't last. Their age-gap puts them in different life-stages and she lives in Toronto. A few afternoons of delight can't change her life. Or can they?

My Review:

I loved Afternoon Delight. The story and characters kept me entertained. This isn’t your typical romance. The setting was fabulous, and I loved how the author pushed Meg outside of her comfort zone. Sure, she was helping out a friend, but she really learned a lot about herself. After years of being in a disappointing marriage, Meg is free to reinvent herself – and reinvent she does.

Anyone who has been through a divorce knows that you typically don’t bounce back right away. Meg was able to leave familiarity and head back home to her mom’s for a bit. Her relocation was two-fold. Help her friend run her shop and help her mom move past the death of Meg’s dad. Actually, it was three-fold. She needed to think about herself for once and make decisions that made her happy. I love that she found that for herself.

Zak is her perfect partner. They vibe (pun intended) from their very first meeting. Their close proximity has their feelings intensify through this delicious slow-burn romance. Zak and Meg have explosive chemistry, but they also share heartaches, pain, and humor.

#BookReview ~ Flirting with Trouble by Melissa Foster #ContemporaryRomance #Romance

 

About the Book:

Being born into the Silver empire comes with certain expectations, but charming restaurant owner Wells Silver has always taken pleasure in breaking the rules—in his personal and his professional life.

Victoria Braden never expected to become a widow at thirty-two, much less still be trying to figure out how to move on five years later. She’d planned to drown her sorrows in alcohol on what would have been her anniversary, not flirt with trouble and lose herself in a night of passion with Silver Island royalty, playboy Wells Silver. Forgetting Wells was supposed to be easy. But apparently the pushy player didn’t get the memo.

My Review:

Flirting with Trouble is the first book in The Silvers at Silver Island series. Victory and Wells have amazing chemistry, even when Victory is trying to deny her heart. They have a wonderful friendship that moves into different stages as the book progresses. Neither character is perfect but they are perfect for one another. I absolutely loved them together.

I was completely engaged in their love story. I enjoyed learning about their passion for their careers, while watching their passion for each other grow. My heart ached for Victory and her emotional turmoil. 

This story has an amazing couple, setting, and path to their HEA. Their close-knit relationships, strong family ties, and realistic characters round out this exceptional book. The author wrote a wonderful book filled with romance, banter and wit, drama, humor, and emotion.

#BookReview ~ Wedded Chaos by by Tina Saxon ~ #BillionaireRomance #Romance

Bachelor party in Vegas.
What could go wrong?

The feisty, green-eyed brunette who stole my coffee thought she was being cute. The last thing this billionaire needs is a thief in his life—especially one with a sharp tongue, a fiery temper, and legs that go on for days.

But one wild night in Sin City changes everything. They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

The only thing I left in Vegas was my single status—and my wife.

Six years ago, my playboy lifestyle came to a screeching halt. These days, my life revolves around boardrooms, dance recitals, and mastering the perfect bun for my little girl. That is until Gracyn Carmichael comes crashing into it, flipping everything upside down.

Turns out she stole more than my coffee.

I can’t stay away, even with thousands of miles between us. She thinks our drunken wedding night was a mistake. I’m here to prove my wife wrong. Because when I want something, I close the deal.

But when the past we never saw coming collides with the future I’m trying to build…I might just lose it all.

My Review:

Wedded Chaos entertained me from the very first page. Gracyn quits her job at her dad’s establishment after an altercation with the manager. She is weeks away from graduating and becoming a teacher and a little relieved to have some time off to concentrate. A chance meeting in a coffee shop has Gracyn crashing a bachelor party to hang out with Brooks. When she awakens the next morning it’s in a hospital bed with a marriage certificate for herself and Brooks.

Two different sides of the country, two different lifestyles, but a whole lot of chemistry. The story is fast-paced as post-Vegas-wedding chaos has Gracyn trying to annul the marriage and Brooks dragging his feet. I love how this book is not predictable. So many events happen that you will not suspect, and it just makes this story that much more fabulous.

This is my first experience with Tina Saxon, and it will not be my last. Her story telling is fascinating and I love her writing style. I enjoyed every bit of Wedded Chaos.

#BookReview ~ Love, Lies, and Whiskey by Melissa Foster ~ #Romance #SecondChanceRomance #CowboyRomance #FoundFamily @GreysPromo

Love, Lies, and Whiskey by Melissa Foster is now live!

Get ready to fall hard for the mysterious Seeley “Doc” Whiskey and the one woman he never thought would walk back into his life, in this sexy and emotional second-chance standalone romance. The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch is a small-town, big-family series of standalone romance novels featuring fiercely loyal, insanely sexy bikers who give horses—and people—a second chance. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and a happily ever after that will leave you breathless.

About the Book:

First loves that were ripped apart, and the epic love that saves them.

At nineteen, Seeley “Doc” Whiskey fell hard for the governor’s daughter, and then she was torn away. He risked his life and his family’s legacy to get her back, only to find out that everything he believed about her was a lie. His heart has been locked down ever since.

Betrayed by everyone she loves, Juliette Chambers has been through hell and back. Now a single mother and veterinarian, Juliette moves back to Colorado to start over. The last person she expects to run into is the man who completely destroyed her.

A chance encounter turns into a moment of fury, sending them into an emotional maelstrom. Tears and accusations fly and passion ignites, but in their wake they discover a trail of secrets and lies and a life-changing blow that takes them to their knees.

My Review:

Romantic, emotional, and full of love.

Love, Lies, and Whiskey is the fourth book in The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Redemption Ranch series. Doc and Juliette's story is a delicious second-chance romance. This book has all the feelings. The swoony romance, the epic betrayal that divided a family, the healing, and the reconciliation.

Not all is wine and roses in Colorado. Doc has never loved anyone like he loved Juliette. She destroyed him at the age of nineteen and when he sees her in town so many feelings bubble back to the surface. 

Moving to Colorado was risky but Juliette never thought she run into Seeley. When they come face-to-face in a local hospital, everything she's suppressed over the years rears their ugly heads. The time to confront the past is now and neither Juliette nor Seeley are prepared for the deluge of emotions that threaten to overwhelm them.

I was pulled into Juliette and Doc's love story. I felt their emotions as I immersed myself into their lives. The anger, betrayal, and sadness permeate the characters. They are also filled with so much love. Theirs is an epic love story that includes several bumps in the road. A story I dove right into as they uncovered the secrets and lies that led them to the present.

I was captivated by both their personalities, Juliette's strength, and Doc's gentle and loving ways. Their interactions were sweet and I loved the bond they still shared even after all those year. The author wove a wonderful tale with parts that made me cry, laugh, and fan my face. And, boy was I angry. Angry for the treatment of characters in the story, angry for the time lost, and angry that, even though this is fiction, people can really be like the unsavory characters in this book.

The secondary characters were supportive, protective, and fun to meet and spend time with. Their close-knit relationships, strong family ties, and real-life like characters round out this exceptional book. The author wrote a realistic book filled with romance, banter and wit, drama, humor, and emotion. Melissa Foster is my go-to for anything romantic.

#BookReview ~ Playing Mr. Perfect by Melissa Foster ~ #ContemporaryRomance #MelissaFoster #TheBradens

Playing Mr. Perfect by Melissa Foster is now live!

About the Book:

What happens in Paris, stays in Paris, right?

Oh, Pepper. If only...

Okay, I admit it.

Sleeping with the NFL quarterback who the media has dubbed Mr. Perfect might not have been the smartest move, but I'm in the City of Love, I'd had a few drinks, and was jacked up on giddy girl talk and hopeful hearts--two things I never buy into--and I threw caution to the wind.

I want to sneak out before he wakes up, but when I open my eyes, he's already up.

In more ways than one.

Convincing the ridiculously cocky (pun intended) man that I'm not the woman he slept with last night is awkward.

Actually, he makes it impossible.

The thing is, I don't even know who that woman was.

And now he's determined to find out.

My Review:

Playing Mr. Perfect is the first book in The Bradens at Ridgeport series. Clay Braden is a quarterback affectionately known as Mr. Perfect. Seen on the arms of some of the world's most beautiful women, Clay really only wants the one person he can't have.

Pepper Montgomery is a busy scientist who owns her own research and development company. Currently, she's in Paris to watch her twin sister's band perform during her European tour. Pepper loves that she can spend time with most of her siblings but she was not expecting Clay Braden. 

There is humor, playfulness, serious situations, and growth in Playing Mr. Perfect. I love how Clay makes sure he's in Paris with Pepper and her family. Their chemistry is phenomenal and they are perfect for one another. The secondary characters were supportive, protective, and fun group to run into again or meet for the first time. I've read Jillian and Johnny's story (referenced in Playing Mr. Perfect) and Jordan and Jax's story (not referenced in this book). Their close-knit relationships, strong family bonds, and real-life characters make this book exceptional. 

The author wove a realistic, steamy romance with substance. The emotions, chemistry, and steam explode around this couple. I was pulled into Pepper and Clay's story and engaged in every aspect of the book.

Melissa Foster has become my go-to for new/adult contemporary romance. I read everything I can get my hands on by this author. I'm really far behind in my reading because I didn't discover her until 2021 but I own several of her books and use my local library as often as I can to catch up.

I was, however, provided a copy of Playing Mr. Perfect. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
