Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren

Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren

4.5 stars — Well this was a strange romance. I felt so much for the crazy position that Tate was put in.  She’s such a strange character, because in so many ways she’s pretty weak actually.  But not completely, and that’s what made her interesting to read about.  Because she’s kind of unlike anyone I’ve […]

The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon

The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon

4.5 stars — I don’t even know where to start.  I’m not really a fantasy reader, but there is something about the way Amy Harmon writes her stories that has me immediately grabbing for any fantasy novel she writes.  Her worlds are so vivid and unique.  And the emotions!  OMG the emotions.  I just finished […]

Secondborn by Amy A. Bartol

3 stars — Oh dear.  Where to start.  There were glimmers of interesting things going on, but not really enough to suck me in and make up for what *wasn’t* working for me. We’ll start with the narrator.  Ms. Reinders was solidly in the okay category.  She didn’t grate on my nerves, there was some […]

Fire on the Ice by Tamsen Parker

Fire on the Ice by Tamsen Parker

3.5 stars — I will admit I was a bit concerned when our MCs jumped right into bed, and what followed were a lot of very descriptive and hot sex scenes, with only sprinklings of emotions (mostly leftover from their previous encounter).  I guess I was expecting a steamy romance, and really got more an […]

Justified by Jay Crownover

Justified by Jay Crownover

4 stars — I was really sucked in to the beginning of this story and didn’t want to put it down, which of course made for a very late night of “one more chapter” before I finally couldn’t keep my eyes open.  Still haven’t learned the “don’t start a book at bedtime” lesson. Holy cow […]

New Ink on Life by Jennie Davids

New Ink on Life by Jennie Davids

4.5 stars — I haven’t read a lot of F/F (or really many of the other flavours of LGBT besides G), and I’ve been wanting to expand my diversity reading.  So I was so excited when I saw the blurb for this one and it sounded so good!  You could tell it was own voices because […]

Burning Bright by Chris Cannon

Burning Bright by Chris Cannon

3 stars — So it looks like I read this one as well already!  How in the world did I not review it, it BAFFLES ME!! I’ve enjoyed this series and Bryn and the dragon world, but I will admit that this book, particularly since it was the final book in the series, disappointed me.  […]
