3.5 stars — *sigh* These books are super fast to gobble up, and I do enjoy that in some ways. But it does mean that, again, not a lot of time is given to certain plot points to really expand on the emotional impact. In this case it was Knox’s father, and Reese’s healing. Knox […]
This one was run of the mill, nothing real special about it. High ranking politial alien (Drax) needs a mate to stabilize his home land; finds ameable human (Lillian) with no ties to family. Human makes hunky alien see compassion and starts to catch feelings. Really that’s all this one is. I didn’t really find […]
Favorite Quote: She still refuses to look at me. If nothing else, her shame is evidence that she has a soul. That’s good. Souls are rolling, organic, never-dying things. Bodies are born and die and decay in between. This book was so fucking delicious! But also, tragic and borderline ridiculous. And I loved every word. […]
3.5 stars — This is a case of a book being almost perfect for me, but failing to get out of its own way in certain areas. Like seriously, I know lots of people are tired of this trope, but I still gravitate towards it — so the book didn’t need to work very hard. […]
3.5 stars — I will admit that I have not read any Austen books, including Emma. But as I was reading this book I realized I did know another Emma retelling really well: Clueless!! It helped to have that in the back of my mind in some ways, to sort of acknowledge certain aspects of […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was a lot of crying. I mean, I know I’m a crier, but damn. Emily Zeller was fantastic as always as the narrator. Her voices were consistent even with the first book, and I basically just LOVE everything about how she narrates these books. I honestly can’t imagine consuming this […]
3.5 stars — This was a sweet story with a hero that was SO easy to love, and a heroine that grew and came into her own over the course of the story! For me, something about the pacing and the writing kept it from a higher rating…otherwise it was a solid romance. As I […]
4 stars — This was a solid Sarina Bowen read — you got heart, you got fantastic relationships between characters, you got some insightful looks into issues facing couples that often aren’t discussed… I really appreciated all the layers to Tank’s character. I can’t go into all of them, because it would be spoilery — but […]
This one was an easy read. No real plot or character depth, but a fun story. It was a bit too unbelievable, even knowing it’s fiction. Everything just fell into place a little easily. There was no real big bad that was difficult to beat. As soon as something bad happened, it was resolved almost […]
This book is fantastic. I loved the world building, this world really came to life for me. It was dark, bloody, action packed and filled with court intrigue. The ruthlessness of Kaim was apparent from the beginning and I loved the foreshadowing of his heritiage. His powers at first seemed lame but when woven with […]
