4.5 stars — I kind of avoided this book b/c I was afraid it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but the funny thing is that my expectations were kind of wrong in some ways, and it took me to places I wasn’t expecting but that seriously delighted me.  So the lesson is: stop procrastinating […]

Smut by Karina Halle

Smut by Karina Halle

3.5 stars — There were parts of this book that were fantastic, but alas I think this author and I just aren’t quite a match.  For all that this one is billed as a romantic comedy, I didn’t really laugh that much…mismatch.  And as I’m sure you’re tired of reading and wondering why I still […]

Jasper Vale by Devney Perry

Jasper Vale by Devney Perry

4.5 stars — This one started off solid, and I definitely enjoyed the wildness that was their night in Vegas.  Things got a little sticky after that for a bit, but I was still enjoying myself.  But at a certain point about halfway through the book it just really shot up, and I loved the […]

Awkward Love by Riley Hart

Awkward Love by Riley Hart

4.5 stars — OK, this one was absolutely fucking adorable, and I loved it from start to finish. Jameson was so cute and awkward and nerdy, he was just delightful.  He was also brilliant, thoughtful, and caring. Honestly?  Will was the surprise hero for me.  He had that facade of cockiness, just like his friend […]

Stupid Love by Riley Hart

Stupid Love by Riley Hart

4.5 stars — This one started out cute, but I also wasn’t necessarily connecting with their bantering as well as I’d hoped…it was a 3.5 star type book.  But about half way through this book totally skyrocketed into 5 star territory for me, and I loved the ending!  So I settled on something in between. […]

Pumpkin by Julie Murphy

Pumpkin by Julie Murphy

4 stars — Here’s the thing: Waylon’s a pretty realistic teenager.  In that he’s pretty wrapped up in his own head and his own life and dude is it hard to watch him not think about the other sides of things on so many situations.  It’s frustrating.  But it also makes his growth that much […]

Man in Uniform by Cassie Mae

Man in Uniform by Cassie Mae

Review for MAN IN UNIFORM by Cassie Mae only: 4 stars — This was pretty adorable, and surprisingly satisfying for being a novella instead of a full length novel!  As always, I love getting characters that are genuinely nerdy and awkward and dorky and normal. Hazel was pretty cute in a down to earth way.  […]

40-Love by Olivia Dade

40-Love by Olivia Dade

3.5 stars — There were some absolute 5 star moments in this book where Lucas and Tess would settle into this teasing banter, and I would be on my walks laughing out loud, and it was just delightful.  But there were also moments that felt drawn out, moments where the development of Tess may have […]

Catch and Release Groom by Cindi Madsen

Catch and Release Groom by Cindi Madsen

4 stars — I can always count on Ms. Madsen to deliver fun characters, with a good amount of sass and just enough depth to keep me interested and invested. Easton was pretty grumpy to begin with, but at least I could somewhat understand how he’d become jaded, and how the circumstances around Imogen just […]
