Christmas with the Marine by Candace Havens, narrated by Alexander Cendese2 stars — Narrator was HORRIFIC. Like so bad that I honestly don’t know how I feel about the story, b/c I can’t think of the story without thinking of the narrator. Which is really unfair. I should have DNF’d it. I honestly don’t know […]
Overall: 3.5 stars — All in all a solid quadrology (or whatever you call it). My only problem is that they all felt rushed at the end. Which is a common novella problem, I get that…but I noticed it in almost every one. I also wasn’t expecting 2 of the stories to be more New […]
I tried to get into this book. It was real good in the beginning but then it stalled out for me. It almost seemed as if the author was just getting lazy as the story went on and tried to tie up the loose ends without the detail that was used in the first half. […]
This book meets the wibbly wobbly time travel space requirement for #SFvFBingo being hosted by Curiosity Killed the Bookworm. It seems like a great beginning but I kept losing focus and the storyline seemed to be too linear for me. It just felt a bit off and by the time I got to 30% I was […]
A bit let down with the female MC as she was constantly second guessing herself and deliberatly confusing Cooper. It was super annoying. Not to mention I skimmed the last bit because she was so crazy that I felt she wasn’t good enough for Cooper. I don’t know what he saw in her aside from […]
Dude, I thought I could read this kind of book. I can’t. I’m not ready for it. It was creepy to the tenth degree, not sexy. I don’t know what I was thinking picking it up in the first place honestly. I was trying to see if I could read these kinds of books again. […]
3.5 stars — This book has recently been rereleased as an Indie read, but I read an old NetGalley ARC copy from Riptide Publishing…I doubt there were any major changes, but figured I’d mention which version I was specifically reviewing. I find Ms. Cousins writes very differently from most authors I read. I don’t know […]
5 stars — I actually got the link to this in LAST year’s Christmas newsletter, but I never got to it. So when Ms. Daria mentioned it again this year, I knew I needed to dive in! And it was just perfect. I think short story/novellas are SO HARD to write because it’s hard to […]
Favorite Quote: “I’m a recovering alcoholic.” An alcoholic. The words stuck in my mind. I’d heard of people being called alcoholics before, but in my head they were all middle-aged, angry men who abused their families. They weren’t incredibly handsome and vibrant teenage boys. They weren’t people like Logan. I loved how this one wasn’t […]
Favorite Quote: I pulled her close, my arms wrapping around her waist and crushing her to me as I took over the kiss, slanting my mouth over hers so I could claim her the way I’d been dying to since…oh hell, it felt like since forever, but that couldn’t be true. She moaned into my […]
