4 stars — I always enjoy books by Ms. Bowen, but I think my expectations for these boys flavoured my enjoyment a bit…and I *might* have enjoyed it more reading than listening, but that’s a personal thing. I always enjoy Teddy Hamilton’s narration — he has great emotion, good pacing and a sense of humour […]
3.5 stars — While I still enjoyed this book, I will admit I didn’t connect with it and get sucked in as much as I’d hoped. I think I’m likely to be pretty picky with my historical romances. I think I was thrown off by all the political things going on not quite in the […]
3.5 stars — This one started off a little slower and…something for me. Like, the writing felt a little more basic. But then I got sucked in and enjoyed myself to the end, so not sure if it was me or what. I will mention right now that this is a young new adult book. […]
4 stars — This was a fun introduction to another side of the Guild Codex Universe! I loved that after reading most of the other two series, I can catch glimpses of things I recognize, but in general there wasn’t a lot of overlap or anything. This was my first listen of Iggy Toma, and […]
4 stars — I settled into this one pretty quickly, and found I was fascinated by the atmosphere surrounding Corbin, and the way he saw the world. Alex was super easy to like — he was kind, caring, but also a take charge kind of guy. I loved all the little baking tidbits, and even […]
4.5 stars — Oh ho! No sophomore slump for this series, I loved it just as much as the first book! And Lila and Ford were NOTHING like Sophie and Harrison, but they were equally delightful, loveable, and hilarious. And that’s not even factoring in Emily and Jeeves! Yup, this is definitely going up into […]
4.5 stars — There were parts of this story that just sucked me in and delighted me! But, as with all my books lately, I did find my mind wandering. I’m thinking it’s more indicative of my state right now than the books I’m reading though. Just having a hard time concentrating I guess. I […]
3.5 stars — I really enjoyed this one, but I also found it a bit long and thus found my mind wandering. Course, when you’re literally trying to read *on* Christmas, sometimes it’s hard to get sucked in, you know? Suzanne was a bit hard to get to know initially, but I loved her sass […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a freaking delight! This one just hit me in all the right places, had me laughing and laughing and delighting in the banter! Honestly, it did take me a bit at the beginning to figure out the dynamic between Harrison and Sophie. Their first bit of interaction had me […]
4.5 stars — I was totally floundering in my reading, just wasn’t able to settle on anything and was getting anxiety about that, you know? So I returned to the Guild Codex Universe, and wow, it worked like a charm! I was immediately sucked in, and basically did anything I could to listen in 2 […]
