Carmel Rhodes’s ‘Cherry Bomb’
From page one there was so much about Cherry’s story that drew me in; the working in the service industry to get by, a slight tendency toward self-destruction, and a taste for forbidden older men that generate steam just by walking into the room.Cherry and Cash are addicted to each other from the moment they…

Chelsea M. Cameron’s ‘The Girl Next Door’
This review was commissioned by Harper Collins. I have long been quite tired of the usual love story; yes, there is a formula and, yes, it works but the last thing devoted readers want is to read a constant stream of enemies to lovers of disdain to love but much of the time it is…

Susan Mallery’s ‘Meant to Be Yours’.
‘Meant to Be Yours’ is my first foray into the world of Susan Mallery’s writing but it won’t be the last; the duet of love stories, set largely in the town of Happily Inc. has everything I love in a romance; steamy sex scenes, a lack of mushiness, and strong characters with voices that grab…
