Book Obsessed Introverts

I first heard about Corinne's books just before Christmas 2023 through a Tik Tok video from someone who shared about Forbidden Hearts, the first book in the Whitlock Family series, and I knew I had to read it. As soon as it came in the mail, I started reading and from page 1, I was hooked! I ordered the second book in the series the next day, and preordered the third as soon as it was available. I've since read the entire Whitlock series, and I started the Salvation series. Needless to say, from the moment I started reading Forbidden Hearts, I knew I would read every books published by Corinne Michaels, no matter the blurb. Each one of her books that I've read so far has given me all the feels. From big ass smiles to tears and everything in between. Every time you finish one of her books, you are left with a book hangover. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Corinne is the only other author that gives me intense feelings like when I'm reading a Nicholas ...
  Forgotten Desires by Corinne Michaels is now live!  He’s a billionaire in need of a wife … And I’m his ex who can’t say no to him. Ten years ago Carson Knight was my one great love, but he abandoned me without a trace. Now he’s a billionaire single-dad in need of a temporary wife. And he’s at my house on one knee with a proposal… Marry him, so he’s more likely to win full custody of his daughter, keeping her safe from her unstable mother. In return, he’ll take care of the medical expenses for a surgery my father needs to survive. Reluctantly, I agree to tie the knot, on one condition. Once those custody papers are signed, we go our separate ways. Because he’s even more gorgeous, charming, and sweeter than he was back then, and I don’t trust myself not to fall for my fake husband. Especially when I hear him say “my wife.” Or feel his hands on my skin. Taste his kiss or see the way he looks at me with those blue eyes and know that our carefully crafted rules will shatter. Right alongsi...
This was my first K. A. Tucker book, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. From the beginning, I loved how it was a dual timeline from when Piper and Kyle first fell in love, and when they reconnected years later. While they are both different people now, Piper’s feelings for Kyle are still the same. I loved how Piper was a strong female character fighting to prove she was just as capable as the males in the company.    I loved the main characters as well as the people that Piper surrounded herself with. It reminded me of summer camps when I was younger. If you’re looking for a fun second chance read, this is it.   Thank you to Atria Books and Simon & Schuster Canada for my digital ARCs via Netgalley .

This is one I was excited to dive into. I’ve read a few Kimberly Belle books, and they were all excellent, so I had high hopes with this one. The synopsis looked promising, and while it was an interesting story, I thought it lacked some punch. There were no twists and turns like other books by this author. I was looking for the WOW moment to happen, but even the ending wasn’t spectacular. I still binged read it in a weekend, and I will read her future work. I did skim through some of the art antiquity stuff, but with well-developed characters and an atmospheric setting, it sure will keep readers with a passion for mystery and art on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.   Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing for my digital ARC via Netgalley .

I was excited to dive into the switch after reading the synopsis. We had a day off at work and was looking forward to spending the day bundled up in a blanket with a good book. It started as a real page-turner and it really looked like it would be this intense thriller that would keep you turning the page, but unfortunately, I quickly lost interest. There was promise of a shocking, seductive, and scandalous novel, but it did not do it for me. I was waiting for the big twists that were promised and I only found it quite long and dragging. It did pick up after “the switch”, but it still wasn’t enough to keep my interest until the end. I made it through 70% of the book and was struggling to figure out where the story was going so I stopped reading.   Thank you to Penguin Group Viking for my digital copy via Netgalley in exchange for a review.   Rating: 3 stars   Synopsis :   Two couples. One twisted game of love and obsession. A dark domestic thriller about the dangerous secrets that com...
 I've always been a fan of Romance novels, with Nicholas Sparks being my all time favorite author. No matter how hard I looked, I could never find another author that gave me the same feelings as Nicholas Sparks did, until I discovered Corinne Michaels a few months ago. I started reading her Whitlock Family series and right from page one of Forbidden Hearts, I was hooked. I immediately dived into book 2 of the series, Broken Dreams, and I cannot wait to read book 3, Tempting Promises, which will be released on February 22nd, 2024. Corinne Michaels has revealed the gorgeous covers for  Tempting Promises!
