Falling for the Ghost of You by Nicole Christie

Falling for the Ghost of You by Nicole Christie

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — eeee!!! Totally fangirling all over the place with this one. This was a *happy sigh* finish. Then I started walking around thinking about all the gushing I was gonna do, and for some reason I thought maybe I should have something intelligent to say, and then I got thinking and […]

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars (rounded up) — this book was fabulous but emotionally draining… So much happened, and it really felt like a real story, where things were not perfect and suddenly happily ever after. The love between Nick and Alix was inspiring…even as it went through the ringer. I think I fell in love […]

Matzah Ball Surprise by Laura Brown

Matzah Ball Surprise by Laura Brown

DNF @ 14% — I really really wanted to love this book, what with its double whammy of diversity.  I rarely find religious diversity books, so I was super excited! But.  *sigh*  I had a hard time getting sucked into this one.  The writing was okay, but I wasn’t connecting with Gaby (or her friend), […]

The Academy by Emmaline Andrews

The Academy by Emmaline Andrews

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — Fabulous! If you love movies like She’s The Man, this will fit your bill. The main plot isn’t unique, but I loved the new setting of in the future. What a strange imagination the author has, and it was definitely not a utopic future. Not always as lighthearted as the […]

Stud Muffin by Jiffy Kate

Stud Muffin by Jiffy Kate

4.5 stars — Dudes, this book just gave me EVERYTHING!  I felt the emotions, I laughed out loud too many times to count, and hooowwweeee did I feel the chemistry between Tempest and Cage! I’m not sure if listening made it even better, but I adored our narrators.  Mr. Brinkley’s Cage was sexy AF, and […]

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

3.5 stars — I made the colossal mistake of listening to an audiobook that has a lot of surface similarities to this book at the same time as reading this book, and I will admit I occasionally got my wires crossed.  I had to set the audiobook aside so that would stop happening.  And a […]

Let’s Get Textual by Teagan Hunter

Let’s Get Textual by Teagan Hunter

4 stars — This one had sooooo many great elements!  I seriously LOVED the dialogue and witty banter — it was 100% a highlight. The problem for me lie in that with so much dialogue bits (especially through texting), I felt like I was missing some of the emotion and inner thoughts of Delia.  It […]

Cake by J. Bengtsson

Cake by J. Bengtsson

4.5 stars — OK, so this was one of those books that for the most part was 10++++++ stars, but then had a few niggly spots that bugged me, so I averaged out to 4.5 stars.  Don’t question me, there’s no logic to make this make sense. I honestly spent so much of the time […]
