3 stars — *Maybe* 3.5, but not sure if I just wanted to like it more, you know? I was pretty excited about this one, b/c a) I LOVE celebrity romances; and b) ownvoices diversity!! But if I’m being honest, I struggled to get into this one…and keep reading. If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, […]
4.5 stars — I woke up in the middle of the night and could NOT get back to sleep, and so I started this book. And wow. It pulled me right in from the beginning. I feel like this is my most successful book by Ms. Sunday yet. I had so many feelings in my […]
4 stars — I was worried about this one! In the first chapter, I was NOT getting a good feeling for Ian. Like, he seemed like a self-involved douchecanoe. I was contemplating DNFing…but I persisted, b/c it’s Lauren Layne. And while she’s not a guaranteed win for me, she gives me enough success to push […]
4 stars — Every time I read a book by this author, I’m always taken to a world completely unlike anything I was expecting…and not only that, but unlike anything I usually read. I tagged this as pirates, but pirates are never referred to in the book. But it was the closest thing I could describe […]
4.5 stars — Well, I’m in a glass case of emotion. I’m not saying the whole book was a cryfest, but I am saying that I cried forcefully on several occasions. But for me, that’s not a bad thing. In fact, for a debut book I think it’s kind of an awesome thing. I shouldn’t […]
4 stars — You know what? This felt like a delicious guilty pleasure YA read. I’m a huge Broadway fan, so this was like bonus good for me — I loved the look into a new Broadway show. And not only that, but there were lots of references to other musicals, and it was just so […]
4.5 stars — Sarah Mayberry writes the kind of banter between characters that I live for. I can’t tell you the number of times I laughed out loud. And it’s not just everyday banter, she writes these fun steamy scenes that make my tummy flutter at the same time I’m giggling. I always feel like that […]
3.5 stars — While I still enjoyed this book, I will admit I didn’t connect with it and get sucked in as much as I’d hoped. I think I’m likely to be pretty picky with my historical romances. I think I was thrown off by all the political things going on not quite in the […]
3.5 stars — I really enjoyed this one, but I also found it a bit long and thus found my mind wandering. Course, when you’re literally trying to read *on* Christmas, sometimes it’s hard to get sucked in, you know? Suzanne was a bit hard to get to know initially, but I loved her sass […]
4.5 stars — I feel like this series is just getting better and better…or maybe it’s that I was really excited about Zep and Roxie’s story, and while it took me on a wild ride, it definitely lived up to my expectations. Zep was a COMPLETE surprise for me. I mean, I knew there would […]
