All the Ways You Saved Me by Jamie Howard

All the Ways You Saved Me by Jamie Howard

4.5 stars — Well that was an emotional roller coaster. I think the way this story was told was very unique, and it really added.  I mean, there were times I was disappointed that we weren’t getting present Ian’s POV, but that’s because I’m greedy.  I think sprinkling through the history really gave you an […]

Cover Up by L.A. Witt

Cover Up by L.A. Witt

3.5 stars — So I just went back and reread my reviews for the first two books, and apparently I feel consistently about the books in this series.  There is a lot I LOVE, but I tend to have the same complaints.  I always end the book not entirely sure how I feel about it…which […]

Lennon Reborn by Scarlett Cole

Lennon Reborn by Scarlett Cole

4.5 stars — Well, that was another emotionally loaded book!  It was a fantastic end to what has been an emotionally charged series full of characters that make me feel so much. Lennon was both not at all what I was expecting, and yet made total sense at the same time.  I think that was […]

4 stars — This review is going to be completely unstructured, because I can’t seem to make a nice coherent flow.  So I’ll hit the highlights. As a Canadian, I understand how truly shameful our past is wrt the First Nations people.  I appreciated that Ms. Cole tried to subtly address some things, but by […]

Elliott Redeemed by Scarlett Cole

Elliott Redeemed by Scarlett Cole

4.5 stars — Well, that was an emotional rollercoaster that I devoured.  I seriously ended up biking way past my goal time because I was so absorbed, gotta love that! I don’t know what expectations I had for Elliott, but I don’t remember being as excited for his story as some of the others.  And […]

The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

4 stars — I don’t know, this one just worked for me.  I really loved that even though Dred and Pixie were seriously SO DIFFERENT, there was an undeniable connection and attraction between them that they couldn’t help exploring. This book definitely suffered from moments where I was like “OMG, investigate that!  Doesn’t that seem crazy??”  […]

Christmas in Kilts by Various Authors

Christmas in Kilts by Various Authors

OVERALL: 4 stars — Holy cow!!  Dudes, I *don’t read* historical romance.  Which is why it was a mystery why I accepted this NetGalley widget.  But this is the best anthology I think I’ve ever read!  Usually there are a few stories that just don’t work for me, but while one was just all right, […]

On the Brink of Passion by Tamsen Parker

On the Brink of Passion by Tamsen Parker

4 stars — Quite a few of the books in this series start off in such a strange manner wrt the romance…and this one was not an exception.  I was initially super uncomfortable with the arrangement between Beckett and Jubilee.  It was awkward, and not hot, and just…fucked up.  But here’s what’s funny.  It was awkward […]

Fire on the Ice by Tamsen Parker

Fire on the Ice by Tamsen Parker

3.5 stars — I will admit I was a bit concerned when our MCs jumped right into bed, and what followed were a lot of very descriptive and hot sex scenes, with only sprinklings of emotions (mostly leftover from their previous encounter).  I guess I was expecting a steamy romance, and really got more an […]
