3.5 stars — This one was pretty good from a Harlequin Presents standard. I loved the first half where they were celebrating her birthday and having a fun day together. It kind of got a bit frustrating when it got to the pregnancy and Mitch’s refusal to, you know, COMMUNICATE. Jane was actually pretty fun […]
4.5 stars — This one had so many unbelievably cute moments in it, and it was balanced perfectly by depth of character, and all those challenges so many of us deal with as adults. I loved how unique and REAL both of our MCs were. They weren’t perfect cookie cutter romance heroines, they were so […]
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 […]
4 stars — I don’t know why, but I was worried when we first met Jake that he wasn’t going to be the guy…I’m not sure if there was something missing, but once I reassured myself he was the hero, I sort of fell into their story and their romance. I will admit that I […]
2.5 stars — I probably went into this wary from the little I remembered of Abraham from previous books, and unfortunately he never won me over. I totally understand that there is a WHOLE schwakload of humans out there still fully intrenched in toxic masculinity. But if my hero is going to be swimming in […]
4 stars — This was a solid romance, if a bit short. I think it didn’t hurt that I really enjoyed both narrators. This is my second time listening to Mr. Snow, and I just really like his voice. Both narrators were fantastic with pacing, voices and emotions, they made it so easy to listen. […]
5 stars — Wow. Just, this was more than everything I was looking for in a book, and I loved it from start to finish. Sometimes I find 5 star reviews the hardest to write, because there’s so much I feel, but I don’t want to spoil anything and I feel weird just absurdly gushing, […]
3.5 stars — There were definitely some great parts to this book, but there were also some lulls and some disconnects for me… Ella was an intriguing heroine, she was all closed off in some ways, and mostly I understood why. What I didn’t get was her temper! Hoowee! Matt was actually pretty surprising for […]
3.5 stars — Well, it wasn’t as bad as my other rereads of Ms. Marinelli’s books, but there’s still this super bad behavior from the heroes that’s just a bit disappointing. The saving grace in this one is that Levander has a truly horrendous upbringing to excuse his lack of emotional intelligence. Millie was pretty […]
3.5 stars — This one was solid, I think I was just slightly disappointed by the time jumps…it made the story feel shorter somehow. I loved how determined and adventurous Stella was, with everything but her heart. But seeing the glimpses into the past, I could totally see how she fell in love, and wasn’t […]
