Beef Cake by Jiffy Kate

Beef Cake by Jiffy Kate

4.5 stars — This was a FANTASTIC new addition to this series!!  I did read Stud Muffin before this one, and while I’m personally glad I did, you wholeheartedly could read this one as a standalone without missing anything. Frankie was such an intriguing heroine!  She was SO CLOSED OFF it was insane!  But for […]

Girls Love Travis Walker by Anne Pfeffer

Girls Love Travis Walker by Anne Pfeffer

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — In some ways I think the blurb for this book does it an injustice. It evoked way more emotions from me than I was expecting…I guess I really thought it was gonna be more fluffy….but then again rereading the blurb it does mention what Travis is going through, so it […]

Matzah Ball Surprise by Laura Brown

Matzah Ball Surprise by Laura Brown

DNF @ 14% — I really really wanted to love this book, what with its double whammy of diversity.  I rarely find religious diversity books, so I was super excited! But.  *sigh*  I had a hard time getting sucked into this one.  The writing was okay, but I wasn’t connecting with Gaby (or her friend), […]

Great and Precious Things by Rebecca Yarros

Great and Precious Things by Rebecca Yarros

4.5 stars — This story legitimately had so many layers, and they all wove together just masterfully.  I was invested in all of them too — not just the romance, but how our characters were going to grow and develop, what was going to happen with Cam’s family, would the jerks in the town ever […]

Unforgiven by Jay Crownover

3 stars — Well…this one didn’t work as well for me as Crew and Case’s romances.  I honestly found myself skimming the sex scenes for the last half of the book.  I think it really could have been edited down a bit and then the pacing would have worked better. I also had a hard […]

Heartland by Sarina Bowen

Heartland by Sarina Bowen

4.5 stars — I have a feeling this review is going to be all over the place.  I mean, I LOVED it.  It was everything I’ve come to expect from a True North novel, and I just enjoyed it immensely.  It also hit me hard in a few places and made me cry.  And most […]

Country Hearts by Cindi Madsen

Country Hearts by Cindi Madsen

3.5 stars — This was an adorable romance, and if you’re a fan of Hallmark movies, then I think you’re going to love this one.  It played out exactly as the movies do, giving me the same sweet feelings.  Honestly, the only reason I didn’t rate it higher is that while I enjoy the occasional […]

Demon Bound by Chris Cannon

Demon Bound by Chris Cannon

3 stars — Hmmm…there were a lot of very intriguing elements to this story, some seriously unique stuff that has me curious where the series is going.  But honestly?  There was something missing…I had a hard time connecting with Meena and Jake.  I needed something more to really draw me in. I think part of […]

A Cowboy Never Quits by Cindi Madsen

A Cowboy Never Quits by Cindi Madsen

4.5 stars — OK, this book turned into something much more than I was expecting.  Which makes it sound like I had low expectations, but I didn’t…I always enjoy Ms. Madsen’s work.  It was more just that I had no idea what to expect.  Normally I’m not huge on more than 2 POVs, but I […]
