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 […]
What a great follow up! While its clear that they have very real feelings for each other, in the beginning of this installment they struggle a bit with how to balance their feelings and what to do about everyone that wants them dead. Its just a little bit though, it was a nice little bump […]
3.5 stars — Overall I was definitely entertained, but I wasn’t quite as sucked in as other books in this series. That might have just been me, and my mental state at the moment, it’s hard to tell these days. I also left this review as just notes for freaking ever, and now I’m too […]

4.5 stars — This was one of those ones that thoroughly entertained me, and as I wrote out my review, I just liked more. That’s actually kind of rare for me. I was surprised that it was just a male narrator for both POVs, but Mr. Paige did a great job — consistent voices, emotion, […]
