Musings of a Romance Author
Harris Brothers Book 1 Am I the only person freaked out by the opening chapter? Here we have a professional footballer (the soccer kind of football) whose pre-match ritual is self-service pleasure in the shower while he daydreams about himself scoring a goal. This made me squirm so much, and not in a good way. … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Challenge” by Amy Daws
Great Scots Book 1 This was a new to me author, but I doubt I’ll read any more. First, I disliked the jumpy plot. There were lots of wide-open gaps that had me wondering why the story jumped from A to B and what happened in between. Second, it’s let down by lots of spelling … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Easy” by Donna Alam
Oh, how I love Lucy Hutton and Josh Templeman. If you want a slow burn romance with all the feels, then this is the couple who will give it to you. The writing style makes this quite difficult to get into because it’s very chaotic. I’m not certain if it’s deliberate because it’s told from … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “The Hating Game” by Sally Thorne
For a change, I’ve gone for baseball college romance rather than football. It’s a familiar theme where the college jock needs to be tutored by the smart girl in order to pass and get picked for the draft. Heat and steam wise it’s mid levels because it takes time for them to take the leap. … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Dirty Curve” by Meagan Brandy
Maddox Brothers Book Two I've moved on quickly to the next Maddox Brothers book and it was so easy to read. I like the author's writing style, it flows so well without any jarring syntax that pulled me out of the book. I also loved Liis straight away. She’s a strong-willed character, a determined and … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Beautiful Redemption” by Jamie McGuire
Waylon University Book 2 I’m afraid this is a very short review, even for me, because the story doesn’t stand out. While the heat and steam levels are nice, there’s nothing else that gets the pulse going. Ryder Voss is the college football quarterback. He’s one of the guys. They like to have fun, place … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “I Bet You” by Ilsa Madden-Mills
The Quicksilver Series Book 3 Warnings: Sexual assault Forced abortion The opening chapters are filled with more flashbacks mixed with real-time. The author loves this device to tell the story of Eric and Jane’s first meetings and early relationship, where Jane is running scared and continually trying to push Eric away. I moaned about the … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “The Love Trap” by Nicole French
Maddox Brothers Book 1 After the angst and turmoil that was Abby and Travis, we move on to the rest of the Maddox brothers. First up is Trenton Maddox, a tattoo artist who dropped out of college following the death of his girlfriend in a car accident. He's been crushing on Camille Camlin, who works … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Beautiful Oblivion” by Jamie McGuire
The Quicksilver Series Book 2 The story opens straight after Eric left Jane at the altar. I never understood why Jane’s dad, the head of a secret society of powerful men, cared about stopping one of his fellow society members from marrying his daughter. A daughter he never had anything to do with during her … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “The Kiss Plot” by Nicole French
Irresistible Bachelors book 8 I fancied an accidental pregnancy romance and thought I would give this a go. It’s a new to me author, but even though it’s book 8 in a series it’s easily read as a stand alone. Both Rose and Nicolas have achieved great things career wise, but they feel their personal … Continue reading Bianca’s Book Review: “Baby Daddy” by Lauren Landish
