3.5 stars — I enjoyed parts of the book, but ended up feeling kind of meh on other parts. I think part of my problem is that I had a hard time connecting with parts of Dawn…or maybe the extremes of Dawn. Like, I can definitely vibe with the caretaker personality of not wanting to […]
4.5 stars — I woke up in the middle of the night and could NOT get back to sleep, and so I started this book. And wow. It pulled me right in from the beginning. I feel like this is my most successful book by Ms. Sunday yet. I had so many feelings in my […]
4 stars — I was worried about this one! In the first chapter, I was NOT getting a good feeling for Ian. Like, he seemed like a self-involved douchecanoe. I was contemplating DNFing…but I persisted, b/c it’s Lauren Layne. And while she’s not a guaranteed win for me, she gives me enough success to push […]
4 stars — Well that was a cute story with a lot of depth underneath. Jamie and Briar were both pretty easy to love. I loved how positive Jamie could be, and what difficult choices he was faced with. I totally got his unwillingness to upset the status quo, and how stuck he felt with […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heap of delightfulness, and while it gave me anxiety at times, it also gave me so much happiness and smiles and swoons and giggles too. It actually lived up to my expectations, and that is always a pleasant surprise! As always, I adored Mary Jane Wells as […]
3.5 stars — In the end I liked both Gabe and Alec, but the story just didn’t pull me in. One thing I adored was the fact that Gabe fit the stereotype of a “gay man”…which is a super weird thing to say, but I think because m/m romance is often written by women, the […]
4.5 stars — I was worried about how I would enjoy this one, especially with the way Tyler started out, but it hit a bunch of notes I wasn’t expecting and I ended up really feeling for both Tyler and Mia! Mia was pretty easy to connect with — I really appreciated the way the […]
3.5 stars — Once again I will preface this review by saying I don’t read a lot of historical romance…they are definitely outside my wheelhouse. But a few books in this series have been recommended to me, so I started at the beginning. The funny thing is, I really enjoyed myself, but I don’t think […]
4.5 stars — Wow. This one just grabbed me, sucked me in and wouldn’t let me go…I kind of love that feeling. I wasn’t sure how I was going to cope with a grumpy/jerk hero, b/c that’s not something I gravitate towards AT ALL. But there was SO MUCH going on underneath Max, he was […]
4.5 stars — I predict that this is going to be a very hard review to write. That start killed me. I wasn’t expecting it, and as an animal lover I was crushed. But I think in some ways it helped me get into Christopher’s head right away, and what a fantastic and unique place […]
