THE DARK LIGHT OF DAY by TM Frazier — $0.99 Recommendation (My review)

This is not your typical romance, but I loved it!! It was dark, gritty, and even brutal, but also beautiful, sexy & heartwarming.

This sounds hilarious!! ➜ “I’m Tack Morgan, and I’m the host of the most listened-to morning drive-time show… I’m also in therapy for sexual harassment… To be clear, I don’t have sexual harassment issues. I have sexual frustration issues… I haven’t gotten laid in… too long. Honestly, I haven’t been keeping track. Actually, yes, I have. It’s been two months. Coincidentally, that’s exactly how long Jensen MacKenzie has been my co-host. I don’t think my balls can get any bluer.” 😀

This has an interesting premise!! It’s an erotic romance standalone about a guy and a girl who became best friends in second grade. 26 years later, he’s moving on from a divorce and her world is crumbling…But “as Sandy begins to chat with Jason online, she creates a safe place to explore what neither of the friends thought would ever exist between them.

This is a standalone romance and I’m told the hero is shy but strong, tattooed, and “one of the sweetest assholes you’ll ever meet” oh AND he’s a virgin (!!) while the heroine is a more of a daring free spirit but lives a life where she feels plagued by guilt for a mistake in her past… and this is their love story.

 

SWEET DESTRUCTION by Paige Weaver — New Release

This one is a standalone romance with a love-hate relationship. The heroine comes from a world of rundown trailers and crime-ridden streets. “But there was one certainty in my life.

THE SWEET GUM TREE by Katherine Allred — $1.49 Recommendation

This is another of my favorite standalone romances. It’s honestly one of the most beautifully written, intense, and emotional second chance love stories I’ve ever read. It’s both heart wrenching and heart warming and I remember when I first read it that it kept me up all night glued to the page. It was absolutely a 5 STAR read for me!

 

CLIPPED WINGS SERIES by Helena Hunting — on my TBR!

❤  LATEST TOP RECOMMENDATIONS ❤

BEAUTIFUL BROKEN PROMISES  by Kimberly Lauren (My Review)

I just finished this and LOVED it!!! What a unique story!!! SO gorgeous & heartfelt!! I’m going to have to find a way of reviewing it without giving anything away because there’s an amazing twist that just totally MADE the book for me. It’s a STANDALONE romance (not dark!!) and I *highly* recommend it!!! It’s a new favorite for sure!! ➜ “Every day I wish I had found you sooner so I could love you longer.”

 

 

CHANGING COURSE  & STOLEN COURSE by Aly Martinez

SQUEEE!!!! I just finished both of these and LOVED them!! Once I started them, I couldn’t put them down!!! They were each unique but both had a wonderful balance of heart wrenching angst, smoking hot swoon-filled romance, and humor… and I totally fell for the heroes, Brett and Caleb. I just love the protective, tortured heroes (and these ones are both cops!)… *dreamy sigh* …. They make my heart melt!!! These books are both standalones but the stories are strongly interconnected and the heroes are best friends so it’s best to read them in order!! Here’s my review of the first one and here’s the second review 🙂

 

CARNAGE by Lesley Jones (Read my review)

“I was eleven years old, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was staring into the eyes of the boy I was going to love forever.” — This book gave me a 5-day book hangover and it’s definitely one of my favorites of the year now! It was a passionate, gut-wrenching love story. A non-stop, messy, emotional, beautiful, devastating roller coaster ride from start to finish and honestly, I LOVED it!!!!! It made me FEEL every emotion. It took over my life and heart. But please note that this is not your typical romance story. It completely shattered all my book rules and is just not the kind of book that I usually read so please go into it with a very, very open mind.

 

LOVING MR. DANIELS by Brittainy C. Cherry

I absolutely loved this book!!! A beautiful story that took me by surprise in the best of ways. It was so much MORE than just a forbidden student-teacher romance. It was a love story and it was a life story. All kinds of love, all kinds of life. I laughed, I cried and I totally loved it!! It’s a standalone and you can read my review here. I highly recommend checking it out, especially if you were a fan of Slammed!!
