4 stars — Ellie!!! I totally forgot that this was an Ellie I already knew, so bonus fun for anyone who is a fan of the True North series. (but you don’t miss out on anything if you haven’t read about her already) I did not expect to love Patrick as much as I did! […]
3 stars — I was really looking forward to Paxton’s story from the glimpses of him I’d had in other books, but I had a hard time connecting with him and Naomi. I think part of the problem is that the writing style didn’t work as well for me. I think I’ve tried other books […]
3 stars — *Maybe* 3.5, but not sure if I just wanted to like it more, you know? I was pretty excited about this one, b/c a) I LOVE celebrity romances; and b) ownvoices diversity!! But if I’m being honest, I struggled to get into this one…and keep reading. If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, […]
4.5 stars — Wow, I did not expect to love Baby Bayer as much as I did. I mean, I always know Ms. Bowen is going to give me great characters, but I really fell for Anton. And it didn’t hurt that he had the perfect paramour in Sylvie! Sylvie was straightforward and down to […]
3.5 stars — Huh. This story didn’t play out at all like I was expecting. Which is not a bad thing necessarily, but it may not have been as good a fit for me. Andrew and Tia’s relationship was more volatile than I was expecting. I know there are all different types of relationships out […]
3.5 stars — I enjoyed parts of the book, but ended up feeling kind of meh on other parts. I think part of my problem is that I had a hard time connecting with parts of Dawn…or maybe the extremes of Dawn. Like, I can definitely vibe with the caretaker personality of not wanting to […]
4.5 stars — I woke up in the middle of the night and could NOT get back to sleep, and so I started this book. And wow. It pulled me right in from the beginning. I feel like this is my most successful book by Ms. Sunday yet. I had so many feelings in my […]
4 stars — Well that was a cute story with a lot of depth underneath. Jamie and Briar were both pretty easy to love. I loved how positive Jamie could be, and what difficult choices he was faced with. I totally got his unwillingness to upset the status quo, and how stuck he felt with […]
3.5 stars — In the end I liked both Gabe and Alec, but the story just didn’t pull me in. One thing I adored was the fact that Gabe fit the stereotype of a “gay man”…which is a super weird thing to say, but I think because m/m romance is often written by women, the […]
4.5 stars — I was worried about how I would enjoy this one, especially with the way Tyler started out, but it hit a bunch of notes I wasn’t expecting and I ended up really feeling for both Tyler and Mia! Mia was pretty easy to connect with — I really appreciated the way the […]
