4.5 stars — Ahhhh!!! This was sooooo good! It totally lived up to my expectations for Ringo and Charlie’s new life together, and I’m only sad that there aren’t more books in the series already written! What am I going to do with myself? I honestly COULD NOT put this down once I started listening […]
4.5 stars — I’m not sure what I was expecting from Fizzy’s book, but this wasn’t it…in the BEST possible way. Fizzy was delightfully exuberant, unapologetically herself, totally sex positive, and yet lost in such a unique way. I’m sure I’ve read a heroine like her, but trust me when I say it’s rare. I […]
3 stars — Knowing this was in one of those charity anthologies before helped me to know what to expect — which is a short story, not even a novella. Just a fun little taste. And it went okay. The problem was that I didn’t really fully understand the conflict between Melissa and Kyle, like […]
2.5 stars — I still can’t decide whether to round up or down. The problem is I was SOOOO bored at the end, that I kind of forget what I enjoyed at the beginning to keep me reading… Seriously though, I do judge Harlequins differently, b/c I know they just have a different mandate than […]
5 stars — Since I’d read the box set of the first 3 books and they weren’t updated with the new epilogues, this was the first time I was able to read them. I kind of loved getting a Ringo-related summary and then getting to see the epilogues in a row like that, it really […]
3.5 stars — This one was pretty good from a Harlequin Presents standard. I loved the first half where they were celebrating her birthday and having a fun day together. It kind of got a bit frustrating when it got to the pregnancy and Mitch’s refusal to, you know, COMMUNICATE. Jane was actually pretty fun […]
4 stars — I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this book given that the heroine initially has feelings for someone else. And while I definitely struggled with the whole prolonged misunderstandings/lack of communication thing at the end, it was still just a really fun and adorable book. I loved how absolutely nerdy […]
2 stars — Wow. The more I go back and read these old Harlequins, the more I notice just how toxic a lot of them are. Like, this one is chock full of a toxic hero that basically isolates his wife out of fear, and once she realizes it, she’s just like “awww, that changes […]
3.5 stars — I was absolutely sucked into this one from the beginning, but I’m not sure if my mood changed and affected the reading, or if the story truly just didn’t keep the same pace. That’s the frustrating thing — am I distracted b/c the book isn’t holding my attention, or is the book […]
4.5 stars — My regret? That I didn’t read this earlier and faster so that I could have met Ms. Eddings in person this past weekend. Ah well. Why is it that sometimes the hardest reviews to write are the really good ones? The biggest thing I can say about this book is that I […]
