4.5 stars — I’m always wary of prequels. Will they live up? Will they fundamentally change the character? This one was spectacular. We got to see a much different Viv, but the fundamentals are still the same. And not only that, we got to see glimmers of her changing into the Viv we meet in […]
4 stars — There were a few aspects/moments in this story where I had my reservations, but about a gagillion others where I was just grinning and so fucking happy with the romance. It was nice to be listening to the duo of Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Morgan again as narrators. They were my first […]
4.5 stars — This one hit me right where I wanted it to, it had just the right amount of heart, humour, chemistry and depth. I really enjoyed both narrators, though I will admit that I had a harder time in this one distinguishing different voices and between thoughts and dialogue…but again, that could have […]
4 stars — This was a super easy read, filled with likeable characters and fabulous chemistry. I genuinely think I would have enjoyed it even more if I hadn’t been sick while trying to get it finished in a timely manner, so I almost wonder if it would have been even a 4.5 star. First, […]
4.5 stars — Characters are my bread and butter, and Charli and Neil are some of the best there is. Obviously both very complicated, but at their very core, absolute rock star people. Behind all of Charli’s bluster and anger, there’s a very damaged young woman. She is definitely the product of her upbringing, and it […]
3.5 stars — This was a fun, light and steamy romance! As always, Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan gave fantastic performances. I was a little thrown off by Mr. Morgan’s choice to give Mark an accent, but that’s what I do…notice irrelevant stuff. I hate writing reviews like these, because I genuinely enjoyed the book, […]
4 or 4.5 stars — Dudes, I seriously enjoyed this book, and yet this review is going to be subpar. I’m still in one of those modes, you know? I can’t even decide how to rate this one…I hate these book moods. Honestly though, the book can be summed up as deliciously cute. Weston was […]
4.5 stars — I’m not sure what I think about this one. I love it as I’ve loved most books by Ms. Bowen, but I’m left feeling a bit bereft. I think I just went through a lot in this book, and that was hard. Both Rickie and Daphne go through some shit, but especially […]
4 stars — Well this book surprised me with the depth it contained! It also had me ordering Japanese food, but that’s because I’m easily influenced. This was my first time listening to Ryan West, and he was pretty solid. I will say that with both narrators I had a harder time figuring out dialogue […]
3 stars — Well. OK. Hmmm…maybe 3.5? I don’t know. It didn’t end strong for me. The major problem I had was entirely with Aria. She wasn’t horribly unlikable necessarily, but the choices she made and the way she behaved at times just drove me up the wall. And in the end I feel like […]
