3.5 stars — Hmmm…after rereading my review for book 2, it looks like this series might feel the same for me: good, but not great. I think this can happen a lot with author’s earlier works. This one had a pretty strong start, and I didn’t even mind the quick move to steamy scenes…sometimes that […]
4 stars — It was nice to finally come back and read the story that started this series. I enjoyed both Shay and Kolton, but at the same time they were full of a lot more piss and vinegar than usually come with my favourite characters. Their love story had a lot of push and […]
4 stars — For some reason I thought this was going to be just Bek & Elly, and while they played a large part of the story, we actually got to see quite a few little stories in this one! It was kind of adorable, with so many couples separated (either from each other or […]
4 stars — Well this was a solid second chance celebrity romance! I have quite a few books by Ms. Herrera in my collection, but surprisingly this is the first I’ve read (if you don’t count hearing her read from her book at an event). I kind of love that Harlequin is really embracing the […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a delightfully cute and sexy Christmas read. We got a bit of an enemies to lovers feel, but the kind that I like where they just push and pull against each other, but part of it stems from their attraction, and the fighting doesn’t last. You know, enemies light. […]
4.5 stars — What a great start to a new series! I haven’t even finished all of the Cold Fury books, but I’m down with these Vengeance boys. I actually started the audio first, and honestly I was feeling bummed because it didn’t seem like Bishop was my kind of hero. But either my mood […]
4.5 stars — This book actually delighted me in quite a few ways. And I’m giving it a half star bump for great hockey depiction. I’m not an expert, but as someone who watches hockey quite a bit, it rang truer than most hockey books do. I was surprised by all that was lying in Josh’s […]
3.5 stars — Well, huh. I started off this one and could totally see what 2010’s Lenore was attracted to, but I just don’t have patience for that anymore. So I was annoyed by the book, but still couldn’t put it down. I expected it to end very meh. But then, despite the persistent toxic […]
2.5 stars — Well, that was a bit of a disappointment. Honestly, if I wasn’t reading it for a challenge, I might have DNF’d it. It’s not a bad book, but it is kinda boring, and needless to say I was NOT compelled. Here’s the thing: Shelby seems like she should be a fucking badass […]
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 […]
