Book Review: Faultline: Lexi: an exclusive book club edition by Mia Michele

Alessandra “Lexi” Masters is a librarian who gave up everything when her FBI agent father was murdered ten years ago. Suspecting a key player in the New York City underworld of the crime, she leaves the life she knows behind in order to pursue the truth. When she comes face-to-face with Giovanni Masseretti, a BDSM-loving Mafioso, she is burned awake from her numbness and must decide whether what she has found is worth the past she will be forced to lose. Told in cascading, split-POV perspective, Faultline allows the reader to see inside the hearts and souls of both Lexi and Giovanni. It is a roller coaster of joy and sadness, hope and angst, forgiveness and renewal, and is a novel that will keep readers guessing the conclusion until the very end.

Book Review: Sasha’s Secret Santa by Peggy Jaeger

Christmas is coming and what better way to get in the mood then with a Christmas romance! This was my first Peggy Jaeger book but won’t be my last. Sasha quit her nursing job and is working back home at her family’s diner when she eventually bumps into customer Steve. There’s the perfect amount of mystery about why Sasha quite her nursing job and about why she’s having so much anxiety in certain situations. I appreciate how Steve considers Sasha’s boundaries and she doesn’t have to tell him things twice. I really enjoyed this book because it was just the right amount of everything. Not too fluffy, not too deep, just a perfect Christmas romance. So if you’re looking for your next Christmas romance book…here it is!

Book Review: Cole by Christine Donovan

Cole Jackson is a rock star who went to prison for a murder he didn’t commit. Reading books by author Shannon Gallagher got him through his days. Cole and Shannon meet and their story begins.

I really enjoyed this book! I visualized what was going on immediately and got lost in the story. I appreciated how this was a love story with characters in their 30’s too! What made it really enjoyable was the many conflicts taking place throughout the book at once. (If everything was smooth sailing what a boring book it would be.) Donovan knows how to keep you engaged until the very last page.

If you’re looking for a contemporary romance book to read, pick up Cole by Christine Donovan today! (It’s book 1 in A Standish Bay Romance series).

Book Review: By a Thread by Lucy Score

Image from Amazon

Dominic was staring at me like he couldn’t decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me.

Dominic
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job… in my office… after being hired by my mother.

So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father.

She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. And I’m going to fix it all. Don’t accuse me of caring. She’s nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.

Ally
Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.

Author’s Note: A steamy, swoony workplace romantic comedy with a grumpy boss hero determined to save the day and a plucky heroine who is starting to wonder if there might actually be a beating heart just beneath her boss’s sexy vests.

Book Review: The Royal Treatment by Melanie Summers

Image from Goodreads

Ultra-private, ridiculously handsome Crown Prince Arthur has always gotten by on his charm. But that won’t be enough now that the Royal Family is about to be ousted from power once and for all. When Prince Arthur has to rely on the one woman in the kingdom who hates him most, he must learn that earning the love of a nation means first risking his heart.

Twenty-eight-year-old Tessa Sharpe, a.k.a. The Royal Watchdog, hates everything about Prince Arthur. As far as she’s concerned, he’s an arrogant, lazy leech on the kingdom of Avonia. When he shocks the nation by giving her the keys to the castle, Tessa has no choice but to accept and move in for two months. It’s lust at first sight, but there’s no way she can give in to her feelings—not if she wants to have a career or a shred of pride left when her time at the palace ends…

Can two natural enemies find their forever in each other’s arms, or will they ruin each other to save themselves?
