DNF @ 19% — I just wasn’t engaged in the story. It was a bit far-fetched, but I knew that going in with the blurb… It wasn’t that so much as I just didn’t care about our protagonist. I felt like I wasn’t getting to know him at all, and it was just a recounting […]
4-stars — OMG!! I mean, I totally knew this wasn’t going to be the last book in the series, and I know they always end with a lot of questions, but wow…it’s going to be seriously hard waiting for the next book, and I have NO IDEA what’s going to happen! This book went in […]
3.5 stars — Definitely a fun ride, but I didn’t feel quite as connected to Sadie and Ethan as I was to Jake and Christa in book 1. I think I might have had certain expectations of Sadie as we saw her in the first book, and so the direction this book took threw me off […]
4 stars — Well, this one ended with a lot of tears…it’s been a few months since a book has done that to me. And it wasn’t the only time I teared up in this book! Which is not to say that this is a sad book, by any means. But Vela goes through some […]
The first book (Bearing His Touch by Eve Langlais) was alright, it didn’t really stand out to me. Their romance was too quick and pretty superficial for my tastes. And the plot climax was too quickly wrapped up. This one just seemed a bit half-assed in the storyline department. The second book (Fake Mated to the […]
Well what can I say about this book except…eh, it was okay. I mean, it wasn’t bad, but it was missing something, depth, chemistry and a better plot climax. Everything about it was just okay. I love a good military turned security romance. I love how the chemistry is generally fast and intense. I love […]
4 stars — This book had a lot of really great stuff going for it, but it had some major flaws as well. But in the end, the parts that surprised and impressed me balanced out the things that bugged me and left me with an overall enjoyable reading experience. I will admit, the “bad […]
4.5 stars — Okay, I had NO IDEA that this was going to feature nerdiness and gaming!! While I’m not a gamer of ANY TYPE whatsoever, I really loved having another nerdy little book to read!! The elements of the game that Ms. Griffin added to the book were so real and rich and really […]
3 stars — OK. So. Hmmm… I adored the first book in this series, so I was excited to see more. But…while this one wasn’t bad, it was just missing something. The tropes in this story are friends to lovers and fake relationship, and I didn’t always understand their friendship, and I DEFINITELY didn’t understand […]
3.5 stars — Wow. So this one started off like full 5 stars. I ADORED the initial interactions between Chase and Jordyn, I thought they were so cute and gave me all the tummy flutters in the world! I actually LOVED the fact that for once the hero in the story was the starstruck fan […]
