Enjoyed this more than I expected, which I don't know why I didn't expect to like it. Penn was great, really loved him. Allie was saved from being obnoxious by her personality. Loved the relationship between them, especially Penn calling her out on her martyrdom and Allie's teasing Penn about bei...
Well, this is my first book by this author. It was recommended by someone on goodreads and I thought I would give her a shot since I am kind of on a contemporary romance run right now. To put it simply, I liked it-but didn't love it. There were things I liked about it and things that bugged me...

Ummm... this book was alright I suppose. It wasn't terrible but I found the supporting characters to be really annoying, in particular, Shanna. I don't know whether this coloured my perception of the rest of the book but when it was done, I was just glad it was over. I wasn't left with a nice fee...

I liked the premise of this new series, with an almost tropical beach in California where bungalows are rented to different people and bungalow number 9 bring out the romance in the air.However I'm not a huge fan of double romances, with two couples in one book, as it always feels to me like the ...

This was a sweet light contemporary read and a promising start to a new series. There was a lot of character packed into this quick little read and it really set up this location, Crescent Cove, well. I liked the intimacy of the cove and could easily see how this can develop into a series.Meg A...
This book was very sweet in its ending, but there were some parts that I did not like. The book repeats "fucking March" over and over, where as I understand the reference for the book, but it got pretty annoying. I also didn't like how the book skipped from Ryan and Poppy to Linus and Charlie bec...

Grrr. I'll try this again. The review went poof when I went to save.This was a random book I picked up off a random pile of books that were picked up from bargain bins. Had I known that this was the third book in a series and not the first, I probably would not have picked it up. Lots of char...

They glided closer to the slip and she risked a second look at Jace. His expression remained fierce and he stood with legs braced, his arms crossed over his chest, his narrowed gaze glued to her face. Uh-oh. Had she heard right? Had he just shouted ...

Chapter SevenOwen sat on the edge of the made-up bed to pull on his clothes after his shower. He’d woken alone, but there was the smell of coffee rising up the stairs and a note left on the pillow where Izzy had lain.It was composed of a single word—a Dui-esque THNX.It made him smile to look at i...

Nothing special. Turning his head, he peered through the open glass doors to the house and watched the butler move about the kitchen. She did fascinate him for some reason. It could be the tidy way she folded a dish towel. Or maybe it was the instinctive manner in which she anticipated the househ...
Not steel, that was too refined a comparison. Because for all her delicate bones and near whimsical beauty—because of them?—something about her brought out the animal in him. His hands rushed to her hips, and he yanked them tight to his body, his desire raw and primal, his cock primed to rut. He ...

Chapter Eleven I zzy heard the uneven limp of Owen behind her. “What are you doing?” he asked.She smiled to herself and continued through the door that led down the steps to the garage, a box in her arms. “I’m learning a new language while teaching myself tiddly winks.”“Okay, fine. Laugh at me.” ...
