Lies & Lullabies by Sarina Bowen

Lies & Lullabies by Sarina Bowen

4.5 stars — I told Brett that this one was an amalgamation of some of my favourite tropes: secret identity, secret baby, celebrity…even a bit of second chance.  And it fulfilled everything I love about those tropes and more.  Basically, Lenore was a happy reader…well, listener. Jonas was NOTHING like I was expecting for a […]

The Beat Match by Kelly Siskind

The Beat Match by Kelly Siskind

4 stars — This book had a lot of super cute moments mixed with plenty of heart and emotion.  I had mixed feelings about our hero, but all in all it was a super satisfying romance. I loved a LOT of things about Weston — from his genuinely good heart, his ability to listen and […]

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

4.5 stars — In so many ways this was a typical romance — I could see the conflict coming from a mile away.  But in other ways it was something altogether new and different — the challenges that each of our characters faced, their quirks, were wholly unique.  And in the end, both aspects played […]

Dirty Tactics by Emma Salah

Dirty Tactics by Emma Salah

3.5 stars — This book was up and down for me.  There were elements that worked very very well, and there were elements that just didn’t for me.  Basically, it was the ultimate mixed bag. The prologue sucked me in immediately and I felt a lot for both Reagan and Zac.  The problem is that […]

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

4 stars — Yet another book that I was wary of when I started…just wasn’t immediately sucked in, you know?  Kept wondering where it was going to go.  But somewhere along the way I did get sucked in, and I desperately wanted to know details of the mystery.  I think this is probably a 3.75 […]

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

4.5 stars — This one reminded me a LOT of Bridget Jones’s Diary in tone and snappy dialogue…I mean, the movies at least, it’s been so long since I read the book, I don’t remember what the writing was like.  I was actually a little…put off? (or lost I think) by the fast pace of […]

The Dare by Elle Kennedy

The Dare by Elle Kennedy

4.5 stars — DUDES!!!!  This book was so a Lenore book.  Like, for realz, there was only one thing that was preventing this from being full 5 stars, and that just seriously makes me so happy. The funny thing is that I was worried!!  I loved Conor in The Play.  I read this blurb and […]

Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson

Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson

3 stars — I was so excited for this book.  1) Guy knitters??  Yes please!  My hubby is a sexy male knitter, so I’m all over that.  2) Look at that cover!  3) #ownvoices book with main characters of colour??  WOOP! But…well…I kinda had to push myself to finish this book, and if it hadn’t […]

Love in Deed by L.B. Dunbar

Love in Deed by L.B. Dunbar

3.5 stars — This was a tricky book where there was a LOT to it, a lot of depth in parts, but there was enough disconnect from what I want personally (as a reader), that it may just not have been the best fit for me…if that makes any sense. I had a hard time […]

Always a Bridesmaid by Cindi Madsen

Always a Bridesmaid by Cindi Madsen

4.5 stars — The banter and playfulness between Violet and Ford was BAR NONE my favourite part of this book.  It just delighted me the witty rejoinders they would come up with.  I laughed out loud at a few of them.  They both had stellar senses of humour. I felt for the number that Violet’s ex […]
