4 stars — OK, the WEIRDEST thing has happened. I thought I had only read the first 3 books in this series and had the last 2 to finally finish it. But as I was rereading the first 3, and particularly Trial by Fire, I was so confused because I was like “wait, didn’t *this* […]
4 stars — This was just a fun, solid series prequel. Novellas can be tricky sometimes, in that so often I don’t get enough to feel satisfied. But I was satisfied with this one. Both characters had a lot going on with them, they were flawed but redeemable. I felt for Della’s struggle for her […]
2 stars — So I was trying to find a mystery type book for one of my reading challenges, and this is one of the oldest NetGalley books I haven’t read…from when I first joined NetGalley and requested all sorts of things. Unfortunately this book was just…not engaging. I just had all sorts of problems […]
4.5 stars — This is going to be one of those books that I struggle to review, because it’s so hard to convey all the things I loved about the book. It was just so…REFRESHING. From the characters, to the plot line, it just fit me so perfectly and surprised me in the best ways. […]
3 stars — This book started off pretty good, even with the insta-attraction and fast moving feelings. But unfortunately the characters didn’t behave consistently, and I got a little bit cranky with them. At the start of this book Cooper comes across really earnest, hard-working, and sweet! I mean, there were some moments during training […]
3.5 stars — Another book that brought me a lot of joy, but again…had a few tiny moments that made me cringe. And I will admit that reading this one directly following reading book 1, I did notice some similarities of jokes on occasion…not often, but there was at least one memorable instance. Let’s get […]
4 stars — This one had me all kinds of entertained, but was balanced by some actions that confused me. Maybe it’s even a 3.5 stars, but whatever, I’m going to stick to my gut. I will admit, I had a love-confused relationship with Marlee. She would make me LAUGH AND LAUGH at her antics, […]
4.5 stars — Oh dudes, I’ve only read one other book (well novella) by this author, but reading this one, I remember how much I love her voice. These characters were rich and deep and sassy and it was just a fun read, you know? I will admit that I had a few problems with […]
5 stars — Oh dude, this one just hit ALL the right buttons for me. Dancing? Check. Nerdy heroine? Check. Sweet hero? Check. SOLD! to Lenore!!! OK, seriously though. It took me a bit to warm up to Lily, but once I did…oh wow, I just thought she was sassy and hilarious and conflicted and […]
3.5 stars — This book gave me some mixed feelings…there was so much I loved about it and that made me giggle and swoon! But I also totally saw the misunderstanding conflict coming from a mile away, and was kinda bummed that it played out how I anticipated. BUT! Then the ending just pulled me […]
