Loverboy by Sarina Bowen

Loverboy by Sarina Bowen

4.5 stars — I got sweet, sexy, playful, intense, and drooling over both food and Gunnar.  😉 It was my first time listening to Vanessa Edwin, and she was a lot of fun.  I loved the way she narrated her “hormones”, and I have a feeling I enjoyed it more listening to her than if […]

His Christmas Pride by Renée Dahlia

His Christmas Pride by Renée Dahlia

2.5 stars — Well, that was disappointing on a few levels…bummer. First, this is not really a Christmas book, so if you’re looking for a *Christmas* book, this might not fit the bill for you.  Essentially the first chapter happens on Christmas day, and that’s the end of anything Christmas. Second, this is the second […]

Christmas Polar Bear by Kestra Pingree

Christmas Polar Bear by Kestra Pingree

3.5 stars — There were definitely a lot of fun elements, and I enjoyed the world (even though I may not have always understood what exactly Trinity is…perhaps I should have read book 1 first?).  I will admit that the writing was a bit more basic than what I typically enjoy.  Definitely not bad, but…I […]

Lennon Reborn by Scarlett Cole

Lennon Reborn by Scarlett Cole

4.5 stars — Well, that was another emotionally loaded book!  It was a fantastic end to what has been an emotionally charged series full of characters that make me feel so much. Lennon was both not at all what I was expecting, and yet made total sense at the same time.  I think that was […]

It works like […]

Cold Day in the Sun by Sara Biren

Cold Day in the Sun by Sara Biren

4 stars — I started off listening to this one, but the audio just wasn’t capturing me and holding my attention as much, so I switched to reading and it was much smoother. I will admit it took me a bit to really connect with Holland.  It’s funny, it’s like as a character she was […]

His Christmas Escape by Shona Husk

His Christmas Escape by Shona Husk

3 stars — This one just didn’t come together like I expected.  It wasn’t a bad book per se, but it was definitely missing some magic. I’m not sure I really fell in love with either character.  Nico and Jade are both so…uncertain and wishy-washy with relationships, there just wasn’t a lot that drew me […]
