Awk-Weird by Avery Flynn

Awk-Weird by Avery Flynn

4 stars — This was just the kind of light, fun, sexy romp I was looking for.  Which is not to say that it was without depth, just that there was enough other fun stuff to keep me hooked and entertained. Our characters were hella complicated.  They were both fucked up by stressful childhoods, and […]

More Than One Night by Sarah Mayberry

More Than One Night by Sarah Mayberry

4 stars — This one surprised me a bit with the way things played out, and in particular Charlie’s character.  She could be a bit hard to love and understand sometimes, but all the same I mostly did get what made her up.  She was damaged in a different way than I was anticipating, and […]

4 stars — I LOVED Jack and Skip.  They were both flawed and frustrating at times, but with good hearts that deserved the love of the other.  It was interesting that they both had some similarities in their upbringing, but because of other circumstances they cope in slightly different ways.  But it helped them understand each […]

Against the Grain by Jay Hogan

4.5 stars — Wow.  It’s weird, I took longer to read this book than I expected…I kept coming back for tidbits.  But now that I’m done, I’m sad I won’t be in this world with these characters anymore.  Hence the bump up by half a star.  Looks like I’m going to have to get the […]

Forrest for the Trees by Kilby Blades

4.5 stars — Well shit, that was good to the last drop my friends! Sierra was a delightful heroine, which is kind of a weird thing to say because she’s a bit closed off on the surface.  She was smart, thoughtful, hardworking, and had a genuine love for her job that you could feel.  I […]

Boyfriend by Sarina Bowen

4 or 4.5 stars — Dudes, I seriously enjoyed this book, and yet this review is going to be subpar.  I’m still in one of those modes, you know?  I can’t even decide how to rate this one…I hate these book moods. Honestly though, the book can be summed up as deliciously cute. Weston was […]

Code of Ethics by April White

Code of Ethics by April White

4.5 stars — OK, I’m just going to say it.  This is my favourite series in the Smartypants Romance Universe.  It never lets me down.  It always brings so much more than just a romance (which, there’s nothing wrong with romance — I fucking LOVE romance…it’s all I read).  But seriously, it introduces me to […]

Best Man with Benefits by Samanthe Beck

Best Man with Benefits by Samanthe Beck

3.5 stars — So, like, this is a book that I bet 2016 Lenore (when I bought it) would have enjoyed so much more than 2021 Lenore. I’m a sucker for the shy, awkward, low self esteem heroine.  Or, at least I was.  I still am to some extent, but certain things tweak me now, […]

Afterglow by Aria Wyatt

Afterglow by Aria Wyatt

4.5 stars — Wow, this book was an intense rollercoaster ride.  And I mean that in more than one way. The book started off solidly, I was pretty hooked and intrigued.  Then I had some…concerns and my interest was kinda conditional (I’ll get there).  BUT!!!  Then the plot fucking took off and I was all […]
