4 stars — Ha! I started this one stupidly at 1am when we had been out late and I couldn’t fall asleep right away thinking I would just read a chapter or two…next thing I know it’s 4am, and I’m forcing myself to put it down. The same thing happened the next night. So to […]
4 stars — Man I love Ms. Kleypas. Her historicals are always just so easy for me to read and fall in love with the characters. I mean, yes, I love some more than others. But this one definitely hit the right buttons for me. I remember being extremely intrigued by Cam Rohan in the […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — So here’s the thing. A lot of this book was 4 stars, or 4.5 rounded down maybe. But when I got to the end, there were just so many things that HIT with me, that I’m rounding up and I don’t even care. Here’s another thing: I’m not sure I would have […]
4 stars — This is one of those books that kind of challenged me, b/c honestly? There were aspects that I was initially NOT a fan of. And I think I’m still thinking of them. But at the same time, b/c of those aspects, I think I was surprised at how much I ended up […]
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 […]
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 […]
