Famous by Jenny Holiday

Famous by Jenny Holiday

Romances featuring characters who are famous are my booknip, so I was admittedly always inclined to at least like Jenny Holiday’s Famous, the first book in her new series. There’s good news for me and for fellow fans of the set-up, because I loved this book. Ms. Holiday avoids the potential for a saccharine story…

Going in Deep by Carly Phillips

Going in Deep is what you’d expect from Carly Phillips – a sexy and swoonworthy romance – but it’s also so much more.

Abe, the keyboard player, knows he found lightning in a bottle when he married Sarah, and was a complete idiot for pushing her away and ruining…
