*** RECENT REVIEW & SERIES RECOMMENDATION ***
Addicted After All (Addicted series) by Krista & Becca Ritchie
SQUEEE!!! This is now live!! It’s the latest Addicted series book (the 7th one) and I absolutely LOVED every word!! — Read my review — Without a doubt, this is my #1 Top Favorite “on-going” series. It’s sexy (I mean really, holy hotness!!), it’s romantic (their love story has ALL THE FEELS), it’s heart wrenching (I’ve cried more than once), but also heart warming and funny. The story is totally unique and it’s everything I could ever want in a series delivered with some of the best writing I’ve read. I HIGHLY recommend it for all fans of romance.
NOTE: This series must be read in order. These are NOT standalones. However, there are no cliffhangers now so you are safe to start reading. They are all full-length novels. Here’s the full series reading order: Addicted To You, Ricochet, Addicted For Now, Kiss The Sky, Hothouse Flower, Thrive, Addicted After All.
PS: I know it says this is “book #3” on Amazon but it’s complicated. Basically, the main Addicted series is broken down into 2 sub-series, BUT the stories are all about the same characters so just trust me and read them in the order I listed (which is ALL the books).

*** RECENT RECOMMENDATIONS & REVIEWS ***
Nocte (Nocte Trilogy #1) by Courtney Cole — (Read my Review)
WOAH. I could NOT put this down!!!! It hooked me from the beginning, kept me flipping pages like crazy right through to the end… and now I’m desperate for the next one!! I went in totally blind and honestly, I suggest you do the same. Just dive in and let the story happen!! — This is 100% contemporary, NOT paranormal.
“I love him. More than life, more than anything… He has the power to destroy me. Why? Because of a secret. A secret I’m so busy trying to figure out, that I never see it coming. You won’t either.”
Sociopath by Lime Craven — Recent review!!
This book totally messed with my mind and I still have no idea what to think. It was very well written and downright FASCINATING. It’s a dark romance and some parts did make me uncomfortable but I found myself SO curious about this guy and the way he looked at the world. The pacing is a bit slow, but like I said, I was fascinated by it. It was a MIND FUCK — totally twisted — but how could it not be when the hero of the story literally did. NOT. have. a. conscience. O.O (My review)
Bait by M. Mabie — Recent review!!
FUUUUUUUCKKKK!!!! Yes, I’m swearing. I need to. This book put my heart through the wringer. I hated it. I loved it. I hated that I loved it. But I FELT so much for it!!! If you want pure, heart-wrenching, addictive ANGST, then throw your judgments out the window and read this book!!!

Absolutely EPIC, unique, and unforgettable. Calder & Eden’s intense, passionate, forbidden love story captivated me and had my heart racing from the first word to the very last. 6 STARS!!!! — Click here for FAQs about the series.
Gravity by LD Cedergreen — New Recommendation!!
*SOB* This was SUCH a good book! Those emotions just hit me SO strongly!!!! I honestly don’t know how to describe the story without it being misleading because there is a HUGE TWIST that changes EVERYTHING you know!! Like, really — woah!! I’ll admit that I actually knew the twist before I started and there’s hidden spoiler section in my review in case you want to know too. It’s totally unconventional but a really great story!! It started a little bit slow but the impact of the whole story on my heart was just… WOW!! — Read my Review.
Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward — Recommendation
I loved this new book!! It hooked me right from the start and I couldn’t put it down til the end!! An angsty, unconventional love story and such a roller coaster!! — It’s a standalone romance. Read my Review 🙂
“You’re the only girl in the entire world that’s forbidden, and fuck me if that doesn’t make me want you more than anything.”
Ten Below Zero by Whitney Barbetti — Recommendation!!
This was another winner! It’s about a college girl scarred by an attack who gets a text message one day from a wrong number… from a guy who changes her life. “His name is Everett. He’s pushy, he’s arrogant, he crowds my personal space, and worst of all: he makes me feel… But he’s dying. And he’s spending his final days truly living. He’s forcing me to heal. He completes me. And still, he’s dying.” — (PS: don’t be scared, this is NOT a tragic book. I promise. Read my Review)
Deacon (Unfinished Heroes) by Kristen Ashley — Recommendation!!
ALPHA MALE FANS!! I loved this book!! A badass Alpha with a dark past, a strong heroine, and a gorgeous slow-burning love story in the Mountains. Another KA winner and definitely a new favorite!! (Read my Review) It can be read as a standalone, but here are all the books in the series: Knight, Creed, Raid, Deacon
“He looks at you like you’re the only reason he’s still breathing.”
Rules of Protection by Alison Bliss — Recommendation!!
LMAO!! This book was hilarious!!! It was a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy between a sassy heroine in Witness Protection and the badass Special Agent assigned to protect her. But when the location of their safe house is compromised, he takes her with him deep in the Texas backwoods to hide…
The banter between these two had me smiling and laughing non-stop. If you’re looking for something FUN, this is it!!! — This is a standalone. Read my Review.
Worth The Fall by Claudia Connor — Recommendation!!
I totally LOVED this book! The hero is an injured Navy SEAL vacationing on a beach who falls for a single mom there with her 4 little kids. There’s just something about a big, tough, Alpha man who accepts kids who are not his own into his life with complete openness that is utterly HEART-MELTING!!!
It’s the first standalone in a series of standalones (focusing on the hero and his brothers as they each fall in love). — Read my Review
Black Lies by Alessandra Torre — Recommendation!! 5 STARS!!
HOLY WOW!!! This was the most BRILLIANT books I’ve ever read!! Please just TRUST ME and READ. THIS. BOOK.!!!! It’s such a complete love story. The twist is just WOAH. One of my favorites of the year. 5 STARS!!! (Read My Review)
“I will fight for this love. Lie for it. Steal for it. It is worthy of that. I love her completely. She returns the love wildly. This love is worth the unsaid truths. The hidden lies.”
Broken by Lauren Layne — Recommendation!! Read my review.
SQUEE!! I loved this!! It was exactly the type of book I wanted now: FUN, SEXY, & HEART WRENCHING with kind of a unique modern-day “Beauty & The Beast” twist to it. It had a brooding, tormented & scarred hero (LOVE those!!) and a strong, sassy heroine who did NOT take any of his shit (LOVE that too!!). Definitely a winner!! And, it can be read as a standalone 😀
A girl with secrets, a guy with scars, and a love that could save them both…
Don’t Let Go by Sharla Lovelace — Top Recommendation!!
OMG!!! This is of my 5-STAR FAVORITES!! An absolute must-read of the year! It’s one of the BEST books I’ve read and tells a gorgeous second-chance love story that made me laugh and cry and FEEL the story with all my heart. IT. WAS. INCREDIBLE. !!! Highly recommended for fans of The Sweet Gum Tree and for pretty much every single person who loves romance.
“I remember everything,” he whispered. (Read my review)
