3 stars — *Maybe* 3.5, but not sure if I just wanted to like it more, you know? I was pretty excited about this one, b/c a) I LOVE celebrity romances; and b) ownvoices diversity!! But if I’m being honest, I struggled to get into this one…and keep reading. If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, […]
4.5 stars — Wow, I did not expect to love Baby Bayer as much as I did. I mean, I always know Ms. Bowen is going to give me great characters, but I really fell for Anton. And it didn’t hurt that he had the perfect paramour in Sylvie! Sylvie was straightforward and down to […]
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 […]
4 stars — This was perfect for what I was looking for — something light (but not completely without depth), cute, and easy. Kylie was pretty easy to like — a bit of a goody goody, but I can connect with that. I loved her passion for cooking, and I loved how her rebelling brought […]

OVERALL: 4 stars — Usually when I read a set of short stories, they are by different authors so they’re inconsistent. But these were all unique but great! HAVING THE BARBARIAN’S BABY 4 stars — Okay, Cashol was adorable. Like, start to finish adorable. I loved the way he would tease Megan and do everything […]
4 stars — Yay!! I always love it when a book you’re unsure/wary of turns out better than you expect! I was so worried I wasn’t going to connect with Maddie. And while yes, it was definitely hard at times, I got to see into the heart of her and really feel for some of […]
4.5 stars — Well damn, this was just perfect for me. Lila is my kind of heroine — starts out timid and awkward, ends up embracing the challenges and adapting. I loved the way she came into her own when forced out of the protection of her sister. She learned what she was made of, […]
4 stars — Honestly, I was super worried because Josie frustrated the crap out of me for the first half of this book. I didn’t understand her blind spots, I genuinely just didn’t. First half was 3 stars maybe. But then she finally got a clue, and the plot picked up and the second half […]
