REVIEW: Imperial Stout by Layla Reyne

KaetrinBook Reviews / C+ Reviewsbisexual / m/m romance / part of a series / queer / romantic-suspense / San-Francisco2 Comments

Dear Layla Reyne, I have most of your first romantic suspense series, which began with Single Malt, on my TBR but I haven’t actually read any of them yet. I’ve heard good things about them (which is why they’re on the TBR) but catching up on even four books feels ... more >

REVIEW: Bitter Spirits by Jenn Bennett

JanineC Reviews Category / C+ Reviews1920s / bootlegging / ghosts / Historical / medium / paranormal romance / San-Francisco22 Comments

Dear Ms. Bennett, Reading your first foray into the romance genre, Bitter Spirits, was an interesting experience because I wasn’t sure what to think of the book.
