Beard with Me by Penny Reid

Beard with Me by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts together and out of my head, this book just shook me like that. I didn’t bawl in like I was expecting to…and I think all the warnings and such made me wary of this book, so my reading of it was very drawn out.  But […]

Power Play by Maria Luis

3.5 stars — Well….  I enjoyed myself, but not as much as I was expecting to. First, the presence of dual narrators confused me as the book went on with only Charlie’s POV.  So just FYI, we only get Duke’s POV in the epilogue.  Despite that, I really enjoyed Ms. Hart’s narration in this one.  […]

Hold Me Today by Maria Luis

Hold Me Today by Maria Luis

4.5 stars — I had a few hiccups with this book (which was not helped by my reading of it being broken up during travel/vacation), but despite those hiccups I still really enjoyed myself!  It was steamy, it was funny, it was heartfelt and made me cry…so I’m giving it an extra half a star […]

Breaking His Code by Patricia D. Eddy

Breaking His Code by Patricia D. Eddy

4.5 stars — I came for the latina heroine (for my diversity challenge), I stayed for the awesome narrators, relatively accurate coding references, amazing female software developer, and patient hero. First, the narrators: Both narrators are new to me, and I enjoyed them both.  I LOVED Ms. Zimmerman in particular, she added so much emotion […]

Into the Madness by A.K. Koonce

Into the Madness by A.K. Koonce

3 stars — There were a lot of intriguing elements in this story, but in the end I was just confused…and like, everything from vaguely confused to seriously confused.  And that just took me out of the story, and didn’t make me want to continue in the series.  I actually almost DNF’d at 74%, but […]
