His Holiday Crush by Cari Z

His Holiday Crush by Cari Z

4.5 stars — I seem to be on a bit of a roll!  This very much felt like a souped up Hallmark Christmas movie…by which I mean it might have had similarities to loose Hallmark plotlines, but the story was deeper and there was less cheese.  And since I’m personally not as interested in the […]

Holidays in Blue by Eve Morton

Holidays in Blue by Eve Morton

4 stars — This one went a lot better than I was anticipating in some moments.  I’m scurr of “litrature” as Eric would say.  I am low brow…so very far from high brow.  And I think I can be intimidated by books that have a more high brow feel.  This wasn’t quite that though…it was […]

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 […]

Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales

Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales

4 stars — I’ve had ups and downs with retellings, but this one was totally solid! Mr. Sanderlin was a solid narrator.  He wasn’t my favourite, but it’s probably just a personal taste thing, not because of his talent.  In general his different voices were fairly easy to tell apart, I mostly only had a […]

4.5 stars — This one reminded me a LOT of Bridget Jones’s Diary in tone and snappy dialogue…I mean, the movies at least, it’s been so long since I read the book, I don’t remember what the writing was like.  I was actually a little…put off? (or lost I think) by the fast pace of […]

4 stars — OK, this was just freaking adorable.  And I learned a new romance book term — a cinnamon roll!!!  I LOVE CINNAMON ROLLS!!  Both the actual baking treat and the adorable heroes!!!  BRING THEM ON!! Ahem.  Anyways.  I thought this was just exactly what I needed for a fun romance.  Both Jordan and […]

Eryx by Jaclyn Osborn

3.5 stars — I have not read the first book, Axios, so I can verify this one can be completely read as a standalone.  From the reviews, it sounds like there’s a LOT of repeat, instead of just a few fill in the gaps scenes from a different POV.  Which makes it great for those […]

Ripples & Waves by L.A. Witt

Ripples & Waves by L.A. Witt

4 stars — This was a solid emotional and entertaining Little Mermaid retelling.  Thankfully without the tragedy of the original (sort of spoiler, but I’d want to know). I loved the way that the Mer were portrayed, especially that they didn’t look exactly like humans with tails — just little things like the gills, and […]
