Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen

Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen

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 […]

3.5 stars — So, this one was hard for me.  And mostly just from a personality perspective, which hopefully will make sense.  Here’s the thing: I am more like Emily in the Nerd Herd.  I have always bucked *against* popularity, and just wanted to find people who like me for me.  So Lily was always […]

Timeless by Devney Perry

3.5 stars — It was definitely cute, but it felt like what it was: a bonus novella to top off a series.  I wasn’t expecting the prologue and epilogues, but I thought they worked okay as a way to finally introduce Aubrey and Landon’s story. Aubrey was pretty awesome.  I appreciated how smart she was […]

Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez

4 stars — This book could have been a rounded up to 4.5 or even full 5 stars if it was trimmed by at least 25%.  Honestly, I just got frustrated.  Miscommunication is one of my least favourite tropes, but for a time I actually got it with Jacob and Briana — it made sense […]

Always Only You by Chloe Liese

Always Only You by Chloe Liese

4.5 stars — Wow, this one was both eye opening and adorable!  I definitely loved it a lot more than book 1, and I don’t know if it was switching to ebook over audiobook, or if these characters were just more Lenore characters.  I have a feeling it was a good dose of both of […]

Lost Hearts by Lexi Blake

Lost Hearts by Lexi Blake

4 stars — This was totally entertaining, and while I bet I would have enjoyed the cameos more if I’d read the original Masters & Mercenaries series, I didn’t feel lost.  Just like I don’t think anyone would be lost without reading the Nights in Bliss series, but you definitely got some fun cameos out […]

2.5 stars — I’m so glad that this book was not my first book by this author, because I probably would have never gotten back to her.  The thing is, her writing is actually really solid.  There were so many fun moments between Josh and Kristen.  But wow, the things that disappointed me were numerous […]

DNF @ chapter 14 — Should I have stopped in the first chapter when she called the girl her crush was kissing a skank because of her tight clothes, big boobs and big hair?  Probably.  But it was a 2013 book, and I try to remember that I wasn’t super enlightened back then either, so […]

The Five-Day Reunion by Mona Shroff

The Five-Day Reunion by Mona Shroff

3.5 stars — Well oops.  Apparently I started this review, but barely wrote anything and didn’t realize it.  So this is going to be bare bones. I really enjoyed seeing elements of the Indian wedding festivities that I have participated in with friends.  I still don’t know them that well, but I recognized a few […]
