4.5 stars — I actually was a bit wary of this book and Violet and Nico’s love story, but after reading it I have decided that all my trust shall be placed in this author! In the previous two books, these characters have such a contentious relationship, and I wasn’t sure what the past was […]
3.5 stars — This one started off super flat for me. Honestly, if it wasn’t a book club book and I wasn’t buddy reading, I would have DNFd and moved on to something else. I don’t really read MG books, but this one definitely read more like MG than YA for me. The characterizations were […]
5 stars — Wow. Just, this was more than everything I was looking for in a book, and I loved it from start to finish. Sometimes I find 5 star reviews the hardest to write, because there’s so much I feel, but I don’t want to spoil anything and I feel weird just absurdly gushing, […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heck of a lot of fun and goodness!! Lots of great chemistry, a super fun world, great supporting cast, and an adorable couple to root for! Evie was absolutely adorable. I loved her absolute verve for life, how easily she showed her love and excitement for things. […]
3.5 stars — A pretty solid Christmas Harlequin Blaze. A little bit of mystery/suspense in it, but didn’t really play strongly into the plot. I was a little frustrated with Lydia for holding on to those teenage impressions for so long…apparently I’m not in a very understanding mood at the moment. Like, part of me […]
4 stars — My reading buddy likened this book to a Hallmark Christmas movie, and I have to agree that it’s a pretty great comparison! It’s light, but has enough depth to keep things interesting. And while you generally know the final outcome pretty early, the journey is still fun. I will admit that I […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — 3 solid stories that actually made me happy? Not a bad ratio IMO. HOT ITEM by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward 4 stars — I almost DNF’d this one in the first few pages!! Holly and Bryce don’t start this book off on the best foot, and they gave me a […]
OVERALL: 3 stars — August and November were the stand outs for me! I think I’m starting to realize I may not be into anthologies of short stories, especially when often times they are fan service, and if you’re not already a fan it leaves you a bit in the lurch. JANUARY – RINGING IN […]
4 stars — Wow, I didn’t see the conflict in this one coming! I kind of appreciate that Ms. Dixon showcased what it would be like for a couple, especially a couple coming from different planets, trying to figure out how to compromise in the bedroom. I especially loved Josie’s talk with Dagesh. I really […]
DNF @17% — Wow. We hadn’t even gotten to the start of what was listed as the blurb, and I’m already totally out. Neither character was that admirable in my opinion. I was almost out with Krista from her first blog post that starts the book. I’m not the kind of person that’s interested in […]
