I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Stealing Second by Alison Packard Series: Feeling the Heat #5 Series Rating: Published by Carina Press on June 22, 2015 Genres: Contemporary, Romance, Sports Pages: 236 Format: eARC Source: Netgalley Goodreads AmazonBarnes & Noble I like second chance romances. They’re not my catnip; I don’t love them, but I like them. I know some people think that there’s a reason a couple broke up in the first place, but I think in cases like this, enough time has passed where the characters are different people at a very different point in their lives, and it could work. Katherine (Katie) Whitton and Tom Morgan were high-school sweethearts in Dallas, TX until the very end of their senior year when they broke up and […]

But before she does that, she wants to have a baby. Already twenty-seven, she doesn’t have much time, and there’s no man in her life. After considering all her options and […]

Black Dagger 13 The Shadows by J. R. Ward Published by Penguin LCC US on 2015-03 Genres: Romance, Urban Fantasy Pages: 576 Format: eBook Goodreads AmazonBarnes & Noble This post will be dark and full of spoilers. Please do not proceed if you haven’t read this book or spoilers bother you. I normally try not to post spoilers, but it’s hard to do with a book like this. Plus, most of Ward’s fans read the new books as soon as they come out, so I don’t expect to ruin this for too many people. Spoiler line……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. First – the elephant in the room. Yes, Selena dies in the end. And if this is your first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, I’m sure you were shocked. Also, book 13 is not the place to start in a series. At least not one like this that’s really one giant, sprawling, continuing […]
