Book Reviews: 

Crazy (Vampire Love) by Eve Langlais  4 Moons

Eve has heard voices most of her life, and these voices share secrets: other people’s secrets that they would rather not have told. Believing she is crazy, she was institutionalized in the hospital where Zane the snacking visitor grabs his nourishment.  What is more impressive to me is the exuberance and enthusiasm with which Zane accepts Eve into his heart, he is so endearing and adorable you almost expect him to pinch himself to see if this is real. And while their sexual behavior is slightly curtailed with voices making a kerfuffle, the steam and sexy scenes that are so well done by this author will not fail to bring the steam.  Unique and clever, their chemistry is well-developed, and the cleverness of the dialog is not just between Eve and Zane. Yes, even the voices that Eve hears have their own brand of snark, which almost makes you miss them when Zane’s presence quiets them for Eve.

Sex with an Ex by Eve Vaughn  4 Moons

Riley is convinced that a divorce will end her uncontrollable attraction for Ethan, what she doesn’t realize is he feels that same attraction.  Running into one another at her best friend’s engagement party, Riley uses the cover of another man to scoot away before her attraction takes over and makes a fool of her.  Ethan just happens to be the best friend’s brother, and with a little coaxing, he gets Riley’s information and goes to discuss the upcoming wedding with her.  Second chances are sweet: but Riley needs to learn to trust in Ethan again: he’s not letting this  chance go to waste.  Super hot, pure possessive fumes waft off these two.

In Her Wildest Dreams by Farrah Rochon  5 Moons

I adore “chef” stories, although I always want more recipes!  Gavin has thrown off the mantle of high tech to live his dream creating artisanal chocolate creations at his shop.  His best friend Erica runs a fantasy date night company, and is a real romantic at heart.  The banter between these two is lovely…I just SO wanted Erica to open her eyes and see just how much Gavin wants to make her his next delectable confection!  Great descriptions, a fun story and a true emotional connection between the two made this a fun, quick read leaving me with a smile at the end, after I went digging through the cupboards for chocolate!

Player’s Challenge by Koko Brown 3 Moons

I’m not a huge fan of sport-themed romances, but this was a quick and steamy story with plenty of squirm for the read!  Gemma is a sports agent, and her firm has recently acquired the contract for her ex-lover Devin.  Feeling a bit like the Chad Ochocinco or Terrell Owens in his past behaviors, and lower on the potential earnings scale, Devin isn’t the catch that he wants to be in the representation department.  Gemma tries to balance the memories of what was, with the what is and her new position, and then assumes several positions.
A fresh look at the athlete / romantic interest trope; Brown’s writing is clear, fresh and solidly voiced keeping me interested and entertained.
