4 stars — I’m not sure if it was my mood, but while I LOVED parts of this story, I found my mind wandering while reading as well. I think it doesn’t help when there’s a lot of hype for a book…my brain doesn’t do good with hype. Which is stupid, but there it is. I […]
4 stars — This book was more emotional than I was expecting…which, it really shouldn’t have surprised me given Asha and Hemalo’s history, but still…I definitely cried for them. Asha was an interesting character that I wasn’t expecting to like, b/c, well, she’s kind of a bitch. And I mean that outside of how she […]
4.5 stars — This one surprised me! While I could tell from the blurb that there wasn’t any cheating, I still wasn’t sure exactly what that meant and how it would reflect on our characters. It was definitely complicated, but I was okay with it, so phew! I seriously fell in love with Sebastien. I […]
4.5 stars — This one lived up to its title — there was a lot of heart in it. I seriously ACHED for both Stacey and Pashov. How strange and trying would it be from both their perspectives? I honestly can’t imagine, but I could connect with *both* sides. I will admit, I lost patience […]
3.5 stars — This was a sweet story with a good solid connection between the heroines, but I think I got too frustrated with Taylor’s reticence and I lost my enthusiasm for their love story. Phoebe had these sweet and bright qualities, and I could see how Taylor was attracted to them. I really appreciated […]
3.5 stars — Huh. This story didn’t play out at all like I was expecting. Which is not a bad thing necessarily, but it may not have been as good a fit for me. Andrew and Tia’s relationship was more volatile than I was expecting. I know there are all different types of relationships out […]
3.5 stars — I enjoyed parts of the book, but ended up feeling kind of meh on other parts. I think part of my problem is that I had a hard time connecting with parts of Dawn…or maybe the extremes of Dawn. Like, I can definitely vibe with the caretaker personality of not wanting to […]
4.5 stars — That…was not at all what I was expecting. In an even better sense. I was genuinely expecting a “beach read”, something fairly light and fluffy. And while this book had light and fluffy moments, with banter that truly delighted me beyond belief, there was a HUGE emotional aspect that left me with […]
YOUR FRENCH KISSES: 4 stars — This was just cute. I really felt the connection between Marley and Reed, it really was magical and bittersweet. It was the perfect story for novella form, b/c we got a glimpse of the present, then the whole past story, then back to the present. It helped us invest […]
4.5 stars — OK, I am officially a fan of audio novellas!! Especially when they’re part of a subscription service. They’re like little romance snacks. I mean, this is my first one, but I’m going to blanket statement that shit. Teddy Hamilton was delightful as always. And jesus, his Will voice? SWOON. Cooper was pretty […]
