OVERALL: 3 stars — August and November were the stand outs for me! I think I’m starting to realize I may not be into anthologies of short stories, especially when often times they are fan service, and if you’re not already a fan it leaves you a bit in the lurch. JANUARY – RINGING IN […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — Huh, this was actually a really solid anthology. Pretty great Christmas vibes (some more than others), solid romances, lots of variety. Obviously I enjoyed some more than others, but there wasn’t one I didn’t connect with at least a little, which is kind of rare for anthologies! JUST THE TIP by […]
4.5 stars — DUDES!!!! This book was so a Lenore book. Like, for realz, there was only one thing that was preventing this from being full 5 stars, and that just seriously makes me so happy. The funny thing is that I was worried!! I loved Conor in The Play. I read this blurb and […]
3.5 stars — Overall I was definitely entertained, but I wasn’t quite as sucked in as other books in this series. That might have just been me, and my mental state at the moment, it’s hard to tell these days. I also left this review as just notes for freaking ever, and now I’m too […]
OVERALL: 3 stars — I think these were just too short for me, and so I just couldn’t get into them. *shrugs* Oh well. HEAT OF THE MOMENT: 3 stars — This was a solid leaning-more-towards-erotica short story until I hit the ending. Then I grew angry at Garrett’s insensitive overreaction, and annoyed that Shelby […]
4.5 stars — Dudes, isn’t it weird how you don’t know you’ve missed something until you get it again? I really love the way this duo writes together. I don’t even know how to describe what it is about their writing, but it’s just seamless. And you get the best of both writers. And OMG, […]
Favorite Quotes: I have plans to sleep in, read an endless number of books, and soak for hours in the outdoor hot tub under the stars. In between all that, I intend to do some yoga, bake, snowshoe, and simply enjoy the peace and solitude that being in the middle of the woods brings. “And […]
4 stars — I’m not always a big fan of enemies to lovers, but this one worked out okay for me. I think part of it is that there wasn’t any genuine hostility, they just enjoyed being rivals and giving each other shit. So there was a lot of little taunts and jabs, but it never […]
4 stars — I think one of things I loved the most about this book is that Ms. Kennedy took a few stereotypes and dove into them, turning them onto their heads and providing depth to those experiences. In particular the “blonde party girl” and the “jock”. I love that kind of thing. I love […]
OVERALL: 3.75 stars — As with all anthologies, there’s going to be ones that connect, and ones that don’t (because as readers, we all gravitate towards different things). This one was fairly solid though. There were 2 that I almost DNF’d, but pushed through and was happy I did (even if I still didn’t enjoy […]
