Turning Pages: Rhea's Curated Book List
The books and series listed here are my recommended reads. Some, such as Raeann Blake's Seven Brothers of Elko, are similar to what I write--steamy romance books with a subplot and lots of detail.
Some are books that I've read and thoroughly enjoyed, even if they are not in my genre. All of them are five-star reads.
I hope you enjoy these books as much as I did!
Romance - Steamy Romance - Contemporary Romance
Raeann Blakes's Seven Brothers of Elko series is what turned me on to romance. I downloaded the first book in 2012 and have been hooked ever since.
This series starts with Tommy, Brinley's older brother's best friend, becoming her "older brother" after Carl died. He "forced" her to take a much-needed vacation in Las Vegas with him--and that is where she met Jake.
She eventually meets Davis, Jake's brother. The series tells each brother's story, though only Jake and Davis are blood brothers.
I hope you enjoy Jake, Davis, Michael, Tommy, Casey, Bo and Lonnie as much as I do!
Romance - Mental Health - Love Triangle - Alpha Male
I was an ARC reader/proofreader for M.C. Stokes' Goddess of Death. It is not a book I would normally read. However, within a couple of chapters, I was seriously invested in this story.
It is a mental health story that also features a romance plot. The ending to this was E.P.I.C.
