4 stars — I think this book went a little differently than I was expecting from the blurb. I expected a much stronger music/poetry component, and it wasn’t really there…it was more background, felt tacked on. But at the same time what I did get was fantastic. Cooper surprised the heck out of me. I was […]
3.5 stars — I really enjoyed both Jasper and Liam, but I will admit I wanted more from their story… Jasper was a lot more grumpy and disgruntled than I had been expecting. I knew he was going to be exceptionally standoffish and closed off, just from the peek we’d seen in Unguarded (which you […]
4 stars — This one was solid, but I will admit it took me quite awhile to figure out Harrec and his behavior. There was actually quite a bit more to Harrec’s story than I was expecting, and it really helped to understand why he is the way he is. He almost comes off a […]
3.5 stars — OK, I haven’t read any other books in this series, but can I get a pet peeve out of the way? The series is called Mediterranean Nights. This book takes place in the Caribbean. *Marge Simpson growl* I will admit that while this book was easy to read, it took me awhile to […]
4.5 stars — If you told me one of my faves in this series would be Bek’s story, I would have laughed in your face. But here we are. What’s strange about all that is that Bek was still a jerk at many parts of the book…but we got to see him grow and learn […]
4.5 stars — This was exactly what I needed after the emotional overload that was Ashe and Hemalo’s book. Not saying that there weren’t emotional moments in this one…but there was also a SHITTON of laughter, and I adored that. Farli is just so naïve and innocent and just a ray of sunshine. I couldn’t […]
4.5 stars — Well boy howdy, that sucked me in and spit out a happy little reader. I was entranced almost from the very first line. I wasn’t expecting these two characters, but I LOVED them. I felt so much for them, and I really appreciated how different they were to many other couples I […]
4 stars — I’m not sure if it was my mood, but while I LOVED parts of this story, I found my mind wandering while reading as well. I think it doesn’t help when there’s a lot of hype for a book…my brain doesn’t do good with hype. Which is stupid, but there it is. I […]
3.5 stars — There were certain aspects of this story I just loved, but there was also a LOT going on and I think it was too much. This was my first time listening to Victoria Mei, but she has a sound similar to Erin Mallon for me (which is a good thing). Both narrators […]
4.5 stars — Well that was an emotional roller coaster. I think the way this story was told was very unique, and it really added. I mean, there were times I was disappointed that we weren’t getting present Ian’s POV, but that’s because I’m greedy. I think sprinkling through the history really gave you an […]
