3.5 stars — This book did not start off strong. Neither of our main characters were all that endearing, especially at the start. Lila was uptight, overreactive, comes across a bit like a bitch, can be judgey. You don’t get to see a lot of her good qualities off the bat. But luckily I was […]
4 stars — Well this was a solid second chance celebrity romance! I have quite a few books by Ms. Herrera in my collection, but surprisingly this is the first I’ve read (if you don’t count hearing her read from her book at an event). I kind of love that Harlequin is really embracing the […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a delightfully cute and sexy Christmas read. We got a bit of an enemies to lovers feel, but the kind that I like where they just push and pull against each other, but part of it stems from their attraction, and the fighting doesn’t last. You know, enemies light. […]
4.5 stars — Wow, there was a lot in this one. Like, it was kind of angstier than I usually read, and yet I really enjoyed it. I was sucked in almost from the very start. There was just a connection between Ruben and Zach that made me smile. And I was so intrigued by this […]
4.5 stars — What a great start to a new series! I haven’t even finished all of the Cold Fury books, but I’m down with these Vengeance boys. I actually started the audio first, and honestly I was feeling bummed because it didn’t seem like Bishop was my kind of hero. But either my mood […]
4.5 stars — This book actually delighted me in quite a few ways. And I’m giving it a half star bump for great hockey depiction. I’m not an expert, but as someone who watches hockey quite a bit, it rang truer than most hockey books do. I was surprised by all that was lying in Josh’s […]
3.5 stars — Well, huh. I started off this one and could totally see what 2010’s Lenore was attracted to, but I just don’t have patience for that anymore. So I was annoyed by the book, but still couldn’t put it down. I expected it to end very meh. But then, despite the persistent toxic […]
2.5 stars — Well, that was a bit of a disappointment. Honestly, if I wasn’t reading it for a challenge, I might have DNF’d it. It’s not a bad book, but it is kinda boring, and needless to say I was NOT compelled. Here’s the thing: Shelby seems like she should be a fucking badass […]
3.5 stars — Bummer. This one started off really strong and I stayed up late reading it the first night. But then I got tired of the schtik of the plot, and I just wanted things to be cleared up. Ah well. This had a bit of a Cyrano de Bergerac retelling feel to it […]
OVERALL: 4 stars — Huh, this was actually a really solid anthology. Pretty great Christmas vibes (some more than others), solid romances, lots of variety. Obviously I enjoyed some more than others, but there wasn’t one I didn’t connect with at least a little, which is kind of rare for anthologies! JUST THE TIP by […]
