My Review: Any one who has read my blog knows I'm a fiction type of girl. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy my share of nonfiction - and this is a perfect example. This is a laugh-out-loud, hilarious look at real life and dating. I've read this author's fiction titles, and enjoyed them greatly, so it's a pleasant surprise that her style works just as well in a non-fictional setting. 

The dating world can be a very scary place - but after reading this book, I think it really helps put things in perspective. Yeah, it's tough out there, but clearly, having a sense of humor about the whole thing helps. Not only does this book have some great advice, and real-life experience, but the fun and approachable style gives readers the confidence to get out there and try it themselves!

Cover Lovin': Fun!

Recommendation: For humor and nonfiction fans. Romance readers would enjoy this as well, if they're in the mood for something different. 

Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)!! Fun, funny, and a great read!

Do You Like My Wiener?: a non-expert's no-nonsense guide to dating by Brenda Rothert

Book Blurb:

With laugh-out-loud mishaps and heartfelt advice, bestselling romance author Brenda Rothert shows readers that while dating these days can be the worst, great men aren’t just fictional. Ladies, we’ve all been there…a good first date is wrapping up and we’re sure a second date is likely after a great goodnight kiss beside our car. He’s tall, funny and charming. FINALLY a good one. He asks to get in the car, which seems natural since it’s cold outside. And then, once inside, another kiss, and he exposes himself and asks us if we like his wiener. Wait, what? You haven’t been there? Guess that one only happened to me. What about the guy who spends most of a first date complaining bitterly about his ex-wife? The one with the guy who cops to his criminal record over dessert? Dating these days can leave a girl frustrated and disgusted. But fear not, I’m here to help. I’m a veteran dater, having spent a fair amount of time in the cheap-cologne scented trenches. And while I am admittedly not an expert, I can help you avoid my mistakes. I’ll show you how to prepare yourself for dating, how to spot the red flags and how to laugh off the misadventures you will inevitably have. And hopefully, how to avoid an awkward wiener encounter of your own.

Review: ALPHA MAIL by Brenda Rothert!

Today we are celebrating the release of ALPHA MAIL by Brenda Rothert. This book is a contemporary romance, standalone title. Check out the purchase links for Amazon, iBooks, and B&N below and some teasers from the book.

 My Review: This was a fun one. First off, let me say how much I would love for a company like Alpha Mail to really exist - all the fun chatting benefits of having a boyfriend, with none of the actual work? Sign me up! And considering my love for romance novels, clearly dirty talk is one of my interests, so Alpha Mail is right up my alley. I have to applaud the author for her originality. Sure, we have the whole secret admirer trope going, but how these two connected and conversed is new, different, and totally fun.

I enjoyed reading the email and IM conversations, and especially the wild ideas she would get about who he was. The mix of emails to story kept this book moving at a brisk pace, which easily made this a one-sitting read for me. I had to know who he was, and how it all tied together.

Eager for more from this author! She's proved herself worthy to be on my watch list, for sure.

Cover Lovin': So bright and colorful!

Recommendation: Stand-alone, so no prior knowledge required.

Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)!! Great read! A perfect mix of fun and drama. I can't wait for more books by Brenda Rothert!

Happy Reading!

Book Blurb:

Sienna Mills knows her alpha males. They brood. They growl. They love the word “mine”. After spending her early twenties in and out of relationships with alphas, Sienna used her knowledge to found Alpha Mail, a booming business that allows women to sign up for emails, letters, and texts from their own brooding, red-blooded man. Her star is on the rise and Sienna is attracting the interest of investors when a mysterious man starts messaging her about the true nature of an alpha. She’s got it all wrong, he says, and he’s willing to show her how a real man makes women respond. The more Sienna hears from him, the more aggravated she becomes. Who does this anonymous, supposed alpha think he is, anyway? And yet…she can’t deny his messages are becoming the best part of her days. Commitment-phobic Sienna finds herself wanting more from her sensei of seduction. But is she willing to trust her heart to an alpha again?

Review: COME CLOSER by Brenda Rothert!

My Review: Do you ever pick up a book because the synopsis sounds fairly interesting and you're willing to give something different a shot... and then the book BLOWS YOUR MIND? Well, if you haven't, then you definitely need to read this book because trust me, you'll experience it. I think I picked this book because I was interested in the whole "forbidden" love story. A doctor and his patient? That's very naughty - and, therefore, caught my interest. But this book is so much more than that, and it's so much better than I could have expected. 

I probably should wait a while before writing this review, because I just finished the book and all I want to do is gush. But I can't help it, I have to get my feelings out right now. I loved this, 100%. Maybe the whole confessing their love happened a bit too fast for my taste, but the story itself? I was losing my mind. I was almost late going back to work from my lunch break because I couldn't put this down. And I picked it back up the second I got home, despite the fact that I needed to make dinner. What's the point of dinner when time spent with a good book is just as fulfilling?!

I'll admit it, I read a lot of books because I like the smutty scenes. This wasn't one of those books. Oh sure, the sexy scenes were hot, but instead of taking my time and savoring them - I kept up my speed-reading pace because I absolutely had to know what was going to happen. I know in the author's note Brenda Rothert mentioned this book is different than her usual work - but if this magic is what she's capable of? Consider me her newest number one fan. 

Cover Lovin': Very well done. I'd definitely be hooked.

Recommendation: Stand-alone. And you should definitely enjoy some suspense with your romance.

Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)! Couldn't put it down, and fully lost myself in the story from beginning to end. Seriously, I got hooked at 2%, and I didn't see the rest of the world until I got to the very last page. Highly recommended. 

Happy Reading!

 Book Blurb:

Sometimes appearances deceive. Take me, for instance. I look like a respectable doctor with his shit together, but the rural Montana mental hospital I work at is actually a sanctuary from my demons. At just thirty-five years old, I’ve already failed on an epic scale. Treating patients at Hawthorne Hill is part of my atonement. I’ve found peace when a new patient turns me inside out. Allison Cole is a beautiful, haunted survivor who fell into silence after witnessing a murder. But even without words, I’m drawn to her. The closer we get, the more I’m tempted to cross my professional boundaries and give in to my desire. Soon I find myself in a desperate race to put the pieces of Allison’s silence together. Her life becomes inextricably entwined with mine as I fight to save the second chance I never thought I’d have. I’ll break whatever rules I have to in order to protect this woman who’s been to hell and back. For her, I’ll do harm.
