4.5 stars — OMG, I LOVED THIS BOOK!! I was sucked in right from the beginning, and it just had so much of what I love in a Christmas novella! First, I LOVED our characters! Jessie made me want to smack her a few times, because she was so hard-headed and took forever to see […]
4 stars — This was an adorable Christmas story!! And it fits perfectly with the rest of the stories in this series, though it can be read completely as a standalone. But I do love how all of the characters are interweaving…both past characters, and characters whose books I know are still coming! Frankie and […]
3 stars — Hmmm… OK. So this book frustrated me. There were parts that really sucked me in and kept me enthralled. But there were also parts that made me feel uncomfortable. And we’re going to start with those and get them out of the way. Now, I might just be super sensitive, I’m not […]
3.5 stars — This one had so many good moments—moments where I laughed and moments where I swooned—but if I’m being honest, I struggled to maintain interest in the story as well. I enjoyed it, but I just wasn’t captured I guess. I wasn’t sucked into Leo and Gemma’s romance, and I just didn’t feel […]
4 stars — OK, this book surprised me in a lot of ways!! And mostly good, so woop woop! I wondered if perhaps it was because I hadn’t reread the blurb before diving in, but nope — there was a lot that wasn’t hinted at! Ash was so unexpected. First of all, I wasn’t expecting […]
4.5 stars — FUCK that was good. I’ve only read two books by Ms. Rothert so far, and I LOVED Hooked, so I wanted to try another one. And wow. I started this at 11pm in bed, and I was up until 2:30, almost reading the whole thing in one sitting. (and honestly, the only […]
4 stars — OMG, I loved Rahn and Roman…they were so cute together. I love sweet characters, and both Rahn and Roman fit that bill. I just wanted to hug them both, and I LOVED the way they loved each other. I did NOT expect the storyline at all! It threw me totally off-guard, though […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — As with all anthologies, there are going to be hits and misses. I actually expect that, because I don’t match up with every author. Sometimes there are more misses than hits. This one had a pretty good balance actually. I think only 1 or 2 really missed. And for the ones […]
4 stars — I enjoyed this one, as I enjoy all of Ms. Bowen’s works…but for some reason that I cannot define, I procrastinated a lot while reading this book. So I’m not sure if it was my mood, or if I just wasn’t as captured by Benito and Skylar’s story, you know? It’s so […]
2.5 stars — This one had a lot of potential, but in the end I’m wondering if I should have DNF’d it. This was an ARC that I hadn’t gotten to 2 years ago, so obviously I realize it’s not the final copy. As such, I’m fine ignoring the typos and assuming those got fixed. […]
