Draikana’s Fire – An RNAA Recommended Read

 

 

 

 

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by:  Linda Fausnet

Genre: Paranormal Shifter Romance

My Thoughts on the Book:

This is the story of dragon-shifter Daphne Drak who finally finds her mate after thousands of years, and she and Everett must fight to save Daphne’s sister who has been kidnapped by the arch-nemesis of the Drakaina. This was an entirely new author to me.  I don’t read many shifter books, but I did enjoy this one. The worldbuilding was well-done and not complicated, which I liked. I don’t know anything about how the military works, but it felt like the author did because the scenes with the military officers seemed authentic, which was nice. Overall a well-written story and a quick, enjoyable read.

Rocked – An RNAA Recommended Read

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by: Linda Fausnet

Romance Genre and /or Romance Subgenre: Romantic Comedy, Friends-to-Lovers, Brother’s Best Friend

My Thoughts on This Book:

This is the second book (but works as a standalone, too) in a series revolving around Woody O’Flanagan’s pub….and male strip club. Rocked is a terrific, cute, funny, and sexy friends to lovers story as well as a forbidden, best friend’s brother romance. It even had a cute surprise twist involving the hero’s family history there toward the end. Seth is sweet and sexy and impossible not to love. I especially liked the way he was a heterosexual stripper but had no problem stripping for the fellas on the pub’s men’s night. The stripper scenes were particularly vivid and entertaining. Looking forward to more in the series!

What’s Italian for Yummy? An RNAA Recommended Read

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by: Linda Fausnet

Genre: Contemporary Romance

My Thoughts on the Book:

This was a highly entertaining, sexy book containing sensual descriptions of both food and sex. The main conflict revolves around a woman who hates rugby (and comes by her distaste honestly, given her personal experiences) and a hero who plays…guess what? It was cleverly written with lots of witty banter between the romantic leads. I’ve read so many books lately that seemed like they were written in an awful hurry, and it was refreshing to read a book from an author who clearly took her time and actually thought about what she was writing. She clearly knows what she’s talking about, both with the heroine’s expertise in baking and with the locations in Rome. The book is definitely on the longer side, but it didn’t really drag. It’s not a book that you might finish quickly, but one that’s meant to be savored.

Whiskey Home – An RNAA Recommended Read

 

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by: Linda Fausnet

Genre: Romantic Suspense

My Thoughts on the Book:

This was a terrific read from beginning to end! It’s filled with suspense, steamy romance, protective heroes, and imparts an emotionally satisfying message about the true meaning of family. There were several times I teared up – in a good way!   Whiskey Home is a wonderful beginning to a new series. No cliffhangers, but plenty of hints as to what’s to come in future books. Highly recommended!

Whisper – An RNAA Recommended Read

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by: Maxine Keith

Genre: Dark Romance

My Thoughts on the Book:

This book is not for the weak.

If you need a trigger warning, do not read this book.

But for those of you brave warriors who look evil in the face, and love with your whole heart, this book is a journey.

I’ve been a fan of R.C.Christiansen for a while. I’ve read every book. And I always felt she held back just a little…. Until now.

Whisper is the story I knew she could write. The dark and painful story of three forgotten souls looking for a home. You will hope for them, you will cry for them. You’ll become as angry as Ken, as silent as Cliffy, and as broken as Verna. You’ll hide in the basement with them and dance on the clouds. It’s a story that will leave a scar. But it is the most honest and real book I’ve read.

Ties That Bind Us – An RNAA Recommended Read

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by: Maxine Keith

Genre: Contemporary Romance

My Thoughts on the Book:

An unexpected story of accepting your flaws and learning to love. None of us is perfect but when you’re taught that your existence doesn’t matter, it’s hard to learn that you can be loved. But that’s what Jaxon tries to teach Cam. While both characters are broken, their shattered pieces fit together well. It’s a wonderful romance with a few steamy scenes and a ton of melt your heart moments. I only had two issues. 1) it’s a cliffhanger. 2) it’s written in dual single POV. But the story is sound and wonderful. A great read! Highly recommend it.

Duchess Deceived – An RNAA Recommended

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by: Linda Fausnet
Genre: Historical Fiction, Historical Romance
My Thoughts on the Book:
This book involves the mystery of an unsolved murder, an innocent man accused, and a widowed duchess on the run with her young son. The romance is rather light in this one, taking kind of a backseat to the mystery and adventure. It’s a good historical fiction read, with a clever mystery and strong characters.

The Rough Ride – An RNAA Recommended Read

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by: Linda Fausnet
Genre: Romantic Suspense
My Thoughts on the Book:
Romantic suspense with action, adventure, romance and allll the feels.
This is an excellent romantic suspense with strong characters, intrigue, and romance. Nick is adamantly against having children of his own, not wanting to pass down his horrible family history of abuse. Unknown to him, the woman of his dreams has a child that she fears telling him about for fear of how he will react. I love how this book shows Nick coming to terms with his issues and it’s utterly endearing to see how he learns to trust himself while caring for three kids that are suddenly his temporary responsibility when the Nanny gets sick while he is on security detail for a U. S. senator. The romance is tender yet steamy, and there is a suspenseful plot filled with danger and intrigue that includes numerous strong, intelligent military women which I was glad to see. This is a romantic suspense with action, adventure, romance and allll the feels!

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by: Linda Fausnet
Genre: Contemporary Romance
My Thoughts on the Book:
This was a sweet story about a young widow daring to find love again. Interior designer Lauren falls for her sexy massage therapist, Drew, whose perfect hands help heal her from pain she still suffers from the car accident that took her husband’s life. Despite the relatively heavy subject matter, this was a low angst, sweet story about finding love after loss.

Blind Date With a Book Boyfriend – An RNAA Recommended Read

Romance Novel Addicts Anonymous Book Recommendation by: Lila Dawes
Genre: Contemporary Romance Novel
My Thoughts on the Book:
I’m not usually one for novella’s or for insta-love but I really loved this story. This novella is about Jordyn who has come to town for a job interview and decides to pop into a book store where she meets Mike. Over the course of 24-48 hours they discover there’s no one they’d rather be with.

The characters were well developed and the story executed so well that I fell in love with them. Mike was so sweet and Jordyn was a NORMAL woman which I loved, even down to her concerns over getting intimate – I loved that.
The dialogue between the two just felt so natural and had me grinning like a lunatic and laughing and sighing so many times. I also loved that the epilogue gave us a glimpse of life after the initial 24-48 hours, HEA complete!
Loved it and would recommend it to anyone, quick to read and irresistible to enjoy!
