2.5 stars — Well that was a disappointment. I would have enjoyed this book 1000 times more if it was half the size. I truly don’t know if Ms. Dixon lost a good editor, or if it’s KU padding, but it was repetitive as fuck. I can also say that I don’t think the narrators […]
3 stars — Well huh. I was kinda looking forward to this one, but it just wasn’t a match for me. It started off pretty slow for me, and while it did pick up, I felt like not as much happened in the story…I wanted more. I was also pretty frustrated with both our MCs […]
3.5 stars — I absolutely LOVED the first chapter and the relationship it sets up for Farah and Dougan. My heart broke, I was 100% invested, I was in love. The rest of the book just never quite lived up to that first chapter for me. I definitely FELT for what Dorian had been through, […]
4.5 stars — This one just settled in more strongly for me! There was definitely a lot of contention between the characters, but I wouldn’t call it enemies to lovers necessarily. I think I could just see how much Easton and Gemma wanted one another, so I was rooting for them. At first I wasn’t […]
3.5 stars — This was a solid romance, I just felt like it was missing something to really push it over the top. I can’t quite pinpoint what, but I just wanted *more*. Everything felt just a bit easy and rote in the story. Londyn was a solid heroine. She has a really interesting backstory, […]
3.5 stars — There were definitely some great parts to this book, but there were also some lulls and some disconnects for me… Ella was an intriguing heroine, she was all closed off in some ways, and mostly I understood why. What I didn’t get was her temper! Hoowee! Matt was actually pretty surprising for […]
3.5 stars — I thought I would like this one more than I did, but I was disappointed that Sam never really had plans to open up to anyone else, especially Steph…course, that might change after the book takes place, but I’m still bummed. Sam had a LOT going on with her, and having never […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heck of a lot of fun and goodness!! Lots of great chemistry, a super fun world, great supporting cast, and an adorable couple to root for! Evie was absolutely adorable. I loved her absolute verve for life, how easily she showed her love and excitement for things. […]
4 stars — I absolutely loved the setting for this book, and now kind of want to check out a renaissance faire. And while I enjoyed Simon and Emily’s story, I have a feeling it was never going to be my favourite in a series I’m looking forward to continuing. I listened to this one, […]
3.5 stars — Well, it wasn’t as bad as my other rereads of Ms. Marinelli’s books, but there’s still this super bad behavior from the heroes that’s just a bit disappointing. The saving grace in this one is that Levander has a truly horrendous upbringing to excuse his lack of emotional intelligence. Millie was pretty […]
