I’m such a big fan of sports romances, so when I saw the smokin’ cover of Katie Rose’s Too Hot to Handle, I had to read it! I always love a good sports romance book that can get me into the sport and game, especially when I am pretty much the least athletic person ever!
Jake Baldwin is a certified manwhore. He charms his way through women and he’s not looking to settle down anytime soon. But when his team continues to get bad publicity, Jake meets his match in the woman whose job is to clean up the New Jersey Sonics’ act.
Nikki Case is the woman who’s tasked with fixing up the Sonics’ reputation, but it’s not that easy. The players are rough on her, playing pranks on her, but she’s determined to succeed in her job. She aims her focus on Jake, the star player, but she never expects him to turn his womanizing charms to her.
What starts as a prank for Jake turns out to be so much more as he spends time with Nikki. He slowly manages to take down those walls around Nikki’s heart, but for all his womanizing ways, is he ready for more? I really enjoyed Jake’s character – he may have been a manwhore prior to Nikki, but he’s also a man with a heart of gold. And when he falls, he falls hard. He was just the sweetest with Nikki!
Too Hot to Handle was a sweet and sexy book that fans of sports romances will definitely enjoy. It’s pure fluff, but entertaining fluff. I was rooting for Nikki and Jake to make it work between them. It’s a fairly predictable book, but I was engaged the whole time reading. These two made an adorable couple, and some scenes between them just pulled at my heart! For those looking for a sweet, sexy, quick read, this is for you!
Thanks to the publisher for generously providing me an ARC to review.

LOVED IT!! This is probably my new favorite Ana Huang book. King of Wrath is hot and fantastic and I could nottt stop reading it. It's got an arrangedLOVED IT!! This is probably my new favorite Ana Huang book. King of Wrath is hot and fantastic and I could nottt stop reading it. It's got an arranged engagement/marriage!!! AND it's such a good enemies to lovers romance too. Dante and Vivian hate each other (which you might've gotten from Twisted Lies), but they've been forced into an engagement neither of them wants. He's being blackmailed by her father and she's agreed out of duty to her parents. She moves into his house for the engagement, they have to pretend to be lovey-dovey to the public, and SPARKS FLY.
During this year-long engagement, Dante works (with Christian) to do everything he can to get rid of the blackmail and destroy Vivian's father... all the while slowly, reluctantly falling for his fiancée. The romance was so much fun to read – the way these two opened up to each other, connected over their pasts, helped each other with the little things, and FINALLY fell into bed together was well-written and perfectly paced.
There's also two of my favorite things here: a jealous, possessive hero, and GROVELING! A beautiful combination, if I do say so myself. The groveling wasn't quite to the extent of Twisted Love lol but I still loved to see it.
If you're a fan of the Twisted series, you won't be disappointed with King of Wrath. This brand new series is already off to a great start and I can't wait for more!

Kresley Cole is BACK with a new IAD romance. This time it's Rök's story, and this demon gets a novella with a witch named PoppIt's Halloween in March!
Kresley Cole is BACK with a new IAD romance. This time it's Rök's story, and this demon gets a novella with a witch named Poppy. They're been circling each other for years, until they finally get trapped together in a haunted mansion, where Poppy's uncontrollable magic comes to life in the form of Halloween related creatures. We're talking ghouls, skeletons, evil dolls, and even a headless horseman.
TWQOH is nothing short of entertaining. Once Rök and Poppy get trapped together, it's nonstop action and excitement. They have to try to survive long enough to break Poppy's curse and get out of the mansion safely. All the while, Rök is trying to show Poppy that they just might be fated mates and meant to be together.
It's always good to be back in the IAD world. I don't think I'll ever get tired of reading it. But I am looking forward to what's coming next! We get some small hints of what's to come in this novella, and I'm already eager for the next installment in the series....more
This is a dark sapphic retelling of Medusa and I'm so obsessed with the romance! I couldn't put this book down as soon as I started Soooooo goooood!!!
This is a dark sapphic retelling of Medusa and I'm so obsessed with the romance! I couldn't put this book down as soon as I started reading it. I fell in love with Lex and Luna and their dark, angsty, emotional romance. Lex and her trauma broke my heart, but the way Giana Darling was able to stitch it back up? Priceless.
Lex is on scholarship at her dream school: Acheron University. She’s a brilliant student and she catches the eye of a prominent professor, who becomes her mentor. Tragically, he takes advantage of her one night, assaults her, and leaves her body and soul broken. But this isn’t the end for Lex, because she rises out of the ashes of her trauma to seek revenge against the man who hurt her - and the university president who didn’t believe her.
Luna is Acheron University’s golden girl. She’s a top athlete, has the perfect boyfriend, and is the daughter of the school president. She’s doesn’t know why Lex enters her life, but once she does, Luna can’t stop thinking about her. From the very beginning, Lex and Luna feel this insane chemistry that leaps off the pages. I was addicted to their romance and I couldn’t get enough of it! I had to know where Lex would take her revenge and how far she would go.
I love the fact that this book is bigger than just the romance. Not to say the romance isn’t good, because it’s beautifully done, but Giana Darling did an unbelievable job with weaving in that this book is also about victims of assault and giving them justice and a voice.
This is absolutely a must read if you love Giana Darling or dark romance in general. It’s gut wrenching and powerful, and I loved it so much.
*TW for sexual assault. It happens on page in ch.2 and can be skipped....more
