Roman and Jewel by Dana L. Davis

Roman and Jewel by Dana L. Davis

4 stars — You know what?  This felt like a delicious guilty pleasure YA read. I’m a huge Broadway fan, so this was like bonus good for me — I loved the look into a new Broadway show.  And not only that, but there were lots of references to other musicals, and it was just so […]

Double Trouble by Cassie Mae

Double Trouble by Cassie Mae

4.5 stars — There’s just something about a Cassie Mae book that gives me what I don’t get anywhere else.  The characters are so unique and realistic and they just get to my heart.  And they’re just so freaking adorable, I can’t even! I will admit, Tanner has made the book boyfriend list.  I shouldn’t […]

Roommate by Sarina Bowen

Roommate by Sarina Bowen

4 stars — I always enjoy books by Ms. Bowen, but I think my expectations for these boys flavoured my enjoyment a bit…and I *might* have enjoyed it more reading than listening, but that’s a personal thing. I always enjoy Teddy Hamilton’s narration — he has great emotion, good pacing and a sense of humour […]

Highland Sword by May McGoldrick

Highland Sword by May McGoldrick

3.5 stars — While I still enjoyed this book, I will admit I didn’t connect with it and get sucked in as much as I’d hoped.  I think I’m likely to be pretty picky with my historical romances.  I think I was thrown off by all the political things going on not quite in the […]

Bayou Dreaming by Lexi Blake

Bayou Dreaming by Lexi Blake

4.5 stars — I feel like this series is just getting better and better…or maybe it’s that I was really excited about Zep and Roxie’s story, and while it took me on a wild ride, it definitely lived up to my expectations. Zep was a COMPLETE surprise for me.  I mean, I knew there would […]

His Holiday Crush by Cari Z

His Holiday Crush by Cari Z

4.5 stars — I seem to be on a bit of a roll!  This very much felt like a souped up Hallmark Christmas movie…by which I mean it might have had similarities to loose Hallmark plotlines, but the story was deeper and there was less cheese.  And since I’m personally not as interested in the […]

Holidays in Blue by Eve Morton

Holidays in Blue by Eve Morton

4 stars — This one went a lot better than I was anticipating in some moments.  I’m scurr of “litrature” as Eric would say.  I am low brow…so very far from high brow.  And I think I can be intimidated by books that have a more high brow feel.  This wasn’t quite that though…it was […]

Cover Up by L.A. Witt

Cover Up by L.A. Witt

3.5 stars — So I just went back and reread my reviews for the first two books, and apparently I feel consistently about the books in this series.  There is a lot I LOVE, but I tend to have the same complaints.  I always end the book not entirely sure how I feel about it…which […]

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 […]
