REVIEW: Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre

KatiB ReviewsContemporary / movie-star / Small-Town / Southern6 Comments

Dear Alessandra Torre: I’ll be honest, I’ve never read your books before, I’m not sure why, as from a cursory glance at your backlist, your books would seem to be right in my romance wheelhouse. But the hook on your latest book, Hollywood Dirt, intrigued me enough to read the ... more >

REVIEW: Love Left Behind by S.H. Kolee

JaneC+ Reviewsangst / Big-Misunderstanding / Contemporary / movie-star7 Comments

Dear Ms. Kolee: I’d recommend this book to a specific reader. First, the reader must not mind a super creepy, possessive hero. Second, the reader must not mind a little heroine uncertainty. Third, the reader must like a lot of agnst. If any of those elements doesn’t appeal to a ... more >
