The Romance Bookie

I'm so excited that I was able to able to finish Miranda Kenneally's latest novel, Racing Savannah, before the end of the year!  I had no other choice...I got it in the mail late last week, after having ordered it off of Amazon for only $5.99, and of course had to read it immediately! Miranda has become one of my favorite authors! From Goodread : They’re from two different worlds. He lives in the estate house, and she spends most of her time in the stables helping her father train horses. In fact, Savannah has always been much more comfortable around horses than boys. Especially boys like Jack Goodwin—cocky, popular and completely out of her league. She knows the rules: no mixing between the staff and the Goodwin family. But Jack has no such boundaries. With her dream of becoming a horse jockey, Savannah isn’t exactly one to follow the rules either. She’s not going to let someone tell her a girl isn’t tough enough to race. Sure, it’s dangerous. Then again, so is dating...

***WARNING***ADULT CONTENT INVOLVING INAPPROPRIATE SUBJECTS FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18!!!*** Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! This is a bittersweet moment...in one sense it's exciting to read the conclusion of a series, just because it's nice to add that final book to your collection on your bookshelf; but at the same time it's sad to say goodbye to characters you've slowly begun to know as friends...maybe that's just me though! I love getting to know characters, and Christina Lauren's Beautiful Bastard series was no exception! From Goodreads : Love that Cover! Back when not being able to stand each other also meant not being able to keep their hands off each other in  Beautiful Bastard , neither Bennett nor Chloe could have seen this day coming. An exasperated bride who just wants to elope. A determined groom whose only focus is getting to the wedding night. And—of course—a whole lot of name calling. My Thoughts: This series ...

And a lesson in chemistry too scandalous for school. When Hanna Bergstrom receives a lecture from her overprotective brother about neglecting her social life and burying herself in grad school, she’s determined to tackle his implied assignment: get out, make friends, start dating. And who better to turn her into the sultry siren every man wants than her brother’s gorgeous best friend, Will Sumner, venture capitalist and unapologetic playboy? Will takes risks for a living, but he’s skeptical about this challenge of Hanna’s…until the wild night his innocently seductive pupil tempts him into bed- and teaches him a thing or two about being with a woman he can’t forget. Now that Hanna’s ...

From Goodreads : Just One Day. Just One Year. Just One Read. Before you find out how their story ends, remember how it began....

***WARNING!!! CONTAINS MATURE ADULT CONTENT!!*** Hey Everyone!! :) I've finished another book!! I was sent an Advanced Copy of Alice Clayton's new novel The Unidentified Redhead a few months ago.  Technically this is a re-release, because Clayton had this book previously self-published. From Goodreads : The first in  USA TODAY  bestselling author Alice Clayton’s Redhead series is a playful and erotic romance between an aspiring actress and Hollywood’s hottest new leading man. When Grace Sheridan returns to Los Angeles to become a working actress, it’s a second shot at a life-long dream.

Funny, borderline neurotic Grace ...

Hey Everyone! Yay another book finished!! :) From  Goodreads : Picking up where Beautiful Bastard left off, Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan continue their steamy, combative relationship. Just when Chloe’s career starts to take off, Bennett wishes it would all slow down long enough to spend a wild night alone with his girlfriend. But after he refuses to take no for an answer, Chloe and Bennett find themselves with two plane tickets, one French Villa, and a surprising conversation that, predictably, leaves them wrestling under the covers. My Thoughts: Yay, I'm so excited to have more of Chloe and Bennett!! :)  These two characters were awesome in Christina Lauren's first novel in the BB series,  Beautiful Bastard ! We get to hear Chloe and Bennett's story continue right where BB left off! What I think I loved most about these two characters is that they don't take each others crap, and while for most couples that would be the end, that characteris...

***WARNING!!! This Book Contains some Mature Adult Content not Recommended for anyone under the age of 17!!!!*** So before I share with you all my review for Faking It  by Cora Carmack, I have something random to share with you all.  So this past weekend, on Saturday I went with a friend to go see The Hangover 3 , which btw, is SO much different than the first two!! If you don't already know, that movie is Rated R, which means, technically, no one under the age of 17 is allowed into the theater.  Well, when I went to go buy my ticket, guess what happened?! THEY ASKED FOR MY ID!! Now, before you say, "What's the big deal?", well, here's the thing...I haven't been under 17 in over 5 years!! I am going to be 22 in July!!   I was just reminded of that story as I wrote the big warning above lol, and just had to share!  I mean, honestly, I know I look fairly young, but under 17??? Yeah, I'm not so sure... Anyway, done with random rant of the...

***WARNING***May contain spoilers, if you haven't read the previous books in series!!!*** Hey!! So two weeks ago, I got an email from Goodreads letting me know that Hilary Duff's new book True  was available NOW!  I started freaking out! I thought I still have time!

***WARNING***THIS BOOK CONTAINS GRAPHIC ADULT CONTENT, NOT SUITABLE FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18!!*** From  Goodreads : Gideon Cross. As beautiful and flawless on the outside as he was damaged and tormented on the inside. He was a bright, scorching flame that singed me with the darkest of pleasures. I couldn't stay away. I didn't want to. He was my addiction... my every desire... mine. My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful... except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity.  We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession... My Thoughts: Reflected In You is the the second book in the Crossfire Trilogy ! While, I admit I enjoyed this one, because of the dynamic relationship between Gideon and Eva, I will admit that at the same time it got to  b...
