4 stars — There were a few aspects/moments in this story where I had my reservations, but about a gagillion others where I was just grinning and so fucking happy with the romance. It was nice to be listening to the duo of Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Morgan again as narrators. They were my first […]
3.5 stars — Is it the cold? Is it me? A bit of both? Basically this review was written while sick, and I’m still too tired to clean it up and do this book justice. But the rating speaks more than my words, I still rounded up. This was a solid romance, but I wasn’t […]
4.5 stars — This one hit me right where I wanted it to, it had just the right amount of heart, humour, chemistry and depth. I really enjoyed both narrators, though I will admit that I had a harder time in this one distinguishing different voices and between thoughts and dialogue…but again, that could have […]
3.5 stars — This one was solid, I think I was just slightly disappointed by the time jumps…it made the story feel shorter somehow. I loved how determined and adventurous Stella was, with everything but her heart. But seeing the glimpses into the past, I could totally see how she fell in love, and wasn’t […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — Well that was just a gobble it up read, with likeable characters and a couple you root for! I don’t know if maybe it was just the first read to pull me out of my slump, but I enjoyed this enough I was even sneaking in bits during active vacation — which […]
3.5 stars — I was worried about starting this book, b/c I was getting over COVID and I didn’t want my brain fog to ruin my reading experience, you know? But I should have trusted Ms. Bowen more, she seems to be able to cut through so much of that and always suck me in. Vera […]
4.5 stars — Characters are my bread and butter, and Charli and Neil are some of the best there is. Obviously both very complicated, but at their very core, absolute rock star people. Behind all of Charli’s bluster and anger, there’s a very damaged young woman. She is definitely the product of her upbringing, and it […]
3.5 stars — This was a fun, light and steamy romance! As always, Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan gave fantastic performances. I was a little thrown off by Mr. Morgan’s choice to give Mark an accent, but that’s what I do…notice irrelevant stuff. I hate writing reviews like these, because I genuinely enjoyed the book, […]
4 stars — I’m intrigued. It helps that I really enjoy the Teddy Hamilton/Jacob Morgan combo, so it was super easy to listen to. I’m hoping I don’t get too annoyed by Mark. Part of me gets where his distrust comes from, part of me is wincing as he steps over lines he shouldn’t cross […]
