TOP RECOMMENDATION: The Coppersmith Farmhouse by Devney Perry (Read my Review)
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! OH MY GOSH!! I just finished this book by a completely new-to-me author and IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! It was like pure old-school indie romance heaven! The hero is an ALPHA sheriff who is grouchy at times but also incredibly protective, possessive, and SWOOOOOONY! And the heroine is a SINGLE MOM of a gorgeous little daughter who move into his town to start their lives over. MY HEART WAS RACING for so much of the story!! I LOVED these characters. I CARED for them! The romance was HOT, the writing was STRONG, and there was even some intense suspense thrown in as well that kept me glued to the page. I went into this book blind, I’d never heard of this author before, but I LOVED IT!! Oh, and the epilogue has ALL THE FEELS!!! It’s brand new too so be sure to grab a copy!!
NEW REVIEW: Sugar Daddy: A Novel by Lisa Kleypass (Read my Review)
I’ve had this book on my reading list since 2011! Based on everything I’d heard about it, I really didn’t think I’d like this story. But on a whim, I randomly started it today… and was so curious to see how it would end that I read straight through to the end. There are two main guys in the heroine’s life — the sweet boy she grew up next door to in her trailer park who always knew he’d have to leave her, and the man she meets years later who teaches her to love again — and when the boy from her childhood reappears, she has to make a choice. It’s a bit of a roller coaster, and until the very end, I wasn’t sure who I wanted her to end up with. To be honest, I did have issues and frustrations with this book, and it’s not a top favorite, but I enjoyed it and the writing was strong so I figured I’d share! As for my rating, I’d probably give 3.5 stars for the story, 4.5 stars for the writing, rounding out to 4 stars overall. I have heard that the next two standalones are better, but the blurb for the second gives major spoilers for this book so be careful!
NEW REVIEW: The Deep End by Kristen Ashley (Read my Review)
If you’re looking for something VERY DIFFERENT, check out this book! Holy hell, it was HOT HOT HOT! Wildly sensual and certainly boundary pushing, but oh-so addictive! I’ve loved Kristen Ashley’s book for years now and yet this one showed a whole new side of her writing. It was INTENSELY EROTIC in a way that was sexy but definitely made me uncomfortable at times, however it had a beautiful love story at its heart. Please be VERY OPEN MINDED when you read this book. When I first saw the blurb, I was wary because an ‘alpha submissive’ isn’t the kind of hero I’d usually choose to read about but he was ALPHA!! Olivier was heart-meltingly sweet, deeply protective, incredibly loyal and I fell completely in love with him. I will warn though that this book certainly will not be for every reader!

Aestas says
Haha they are the best weeks 😀
Nancy says
The Deep End is first on my list. Everything else comes second lol (though I did pre-order some others of course hehehe)
Aestas says
Woohoo!! Happy reading 😀
Brenda says
I will never but Dirty Doctor by Whitney G. I had the book preordered and the same day it came out I received an email the publisher had cancelled. Where I found out why. I preordered it for &.99. The book costs now $2.99. Well that greedy publisher can keep the book. Nothing against the author but won’t buy it
Aestas says
No, she’s has always stated that it would be released at $0.99 and then moved up to $2.99 after release. That’s just the way she does her releases. Even though the preorder was cancelled, she still released it yesterday at $0.99 and it was at that pricing for 24 hours like she promised. I don’t know what the preorder was cancelled but she did still honor the pricing she’d originally promised.
Natalie Camacho says
Does the Coopersmith Farmhouse give off KA vibes? or is there another book you can relate it to
Aestas says
You know what actually YES!!! It TOTALLY does! I debated saying it in my post and ultimately decided against it because in my past experience whenever I compare books, readers expect a certain something out of a book too much. But YES! This definitely reminded me of (early) KA in many ways even though she does have her own unique style.
Natalie Camacho says
Early KA vibes equals me one clicking and buying it thank you
Aestas says
Woohoo! Welcome 🙂
