All I Want… by Isabel Sharpe

All I Want… by Isabel Sharpe

DNF @17% — Wow.  We hadn’t even gotten to the start of what was listed as the blurb, and I’m already totally out.  Neither character was that admirable in my opinion.  I was almost out with Krista from her first blog post that starts the book.  I’m not the kind of person that’s interested in […]

A Ring to Secure His Heir by Lynne Graham

A Ring to Secure His Heir by Lynne Graham

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — OK, I have generally always loved Lynne Graham books…there are always exceptions to the rule, but I know I can gamble on her books and *usually* come out a winner. This was no exception and reminded me why Ms. Graham takes the “Presents” genre and goes with it without the […]

Bet on It by Jodie Slaughter

Bet on It by Jodie Slaughter

DNF @14% — When it’s been 11 days, and you’ve only made it a few chapters in, it’s time to call it. I was really interested in the anxiety rep for this book, and the own voices in general.  And, so far, the anxiety rep looked really solid. My problem is I just wasn’t interested […]

Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood

Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood

4 stars — I found this one to feel a bit shorter than the other two novellas, and I will admit I wish I had a bit more time of Hannah and Ian together.  Partially because I really loved the moments where they bonded in the past on that one day, and would have loved […]

Stuck with You by Ali Hazelwood

Stuck with You by Ali Hazelwood

4.5 stars — Damn!  I seem to be in a novella mood, and luckily I also seem to be finding ones that succeed despite the short format!  Yay me!  Yay books! Can I start off by saying that I adored this narrator?  She was both cute and sassy, and while I genuinely have NO IDEA […]

Bridget’s Bane by Ruby Dixon

Bridget’s Bane by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — You know what?  I wasn’t looking forward to Bridget and A’tam’s book.  They seemed like drama and over the top, and I don’t know…  I sincerely saw them as everyone on the beach saw them.  But you know what I got instead??  A book with a lot more depth than I was […]

Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend by Lucy Eden

Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend by Lucy Eden

4 stars — OK, for a novella this was pretty solid.  I find novellas to be really hard to get right, because inherently you don’t get the background and depth of a full length book.  But you still have to get the reader to connect with your characters, and Ms. Eden certainly accomplished that for […]

Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood

Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood

4.5 stars — Well I was sucked in right from start to finish!  I don’t know if it was because Emma Wilder did such a great job narrating, and I could listen to her Liam for hours on end, or if the story was just that absorbing…so we’ll go with both. Obviously loved the narrator.  […]

Play Smart by Aly Stiles

Play Smart by Aly Stiles

3 stars — Let me start this review with a confession: I’m not really an enemies to lovers fan.  I KNOW!  So why did I request this book right?  The thing is, on occasion, I really love an enemies to lovers book, because there’s always exceptions.  And I DO love me a nerdy/rockstar romance, so […]
