4 stars — I loved the first half of this book, it just hit all of my reading buttons, you know?  There’s something about a damaged man and a strange friendship that develops without seeing one another that just…it’s a guilty pleasure.  I will admit that it got a bit slow for a bit, but […]

4.5 stars — Wow.  This was exactly the kind of rockstar romance I was really looking forward to.  There was a rawness about it that just had me desperate to find out how things were going to turn out.  But it was married with a sass and humour that I’ve come to know and love […]

3.5 stars — There were so many things I absolutely LOVED about this book, but it was also missing something to push it over the top, kwim? I am in LOVE with Asher.  He was unique, adorable, almost too good to be true.  He swoonily always said the right things when it came to his […]

4 stars — I’m not sure what I expected from Quinn’s story, but apparently this wasn’t it.  And I don’t mean that in a bad way…or a good way.  Just an unexpected way.  There were certain aspects of this story that just dragged me in and wouldn’t let me go…but there were other parts that […]

3.5 stars — I think if I hadn’t been reading this for my Diversity challenge, I might have just DNF’d.  And that doesn’t mean the book was bad, just that I think it wasn’t for me.  It took me almost a whole month to read this one, I just didn’t reach for it. The narrators […]

4.5 stars — I told Brett that this one was an amalgamation of some of my favourite tropes: secret identity, secret baby, celebrity…even a bit of second chance.  And it fulfilled everything I love about those tropes and more.  Basically, Lenore was a happy reader…well, listener. Jonas was NOTHING like I was expecting for a […]

4 stars — This book had a lot of super cute moments mixed with plenty of heart and emotion.  I had mixed feelings about our hero, but all in all it was a super satisfying romance. I loved a LOT of things about Weston — from his genuinely good heart, his ability to listen and […]

2.5 stars — Well…I guess this is one series I should NOT have finished.  I should have listened to my gut that had me avoiding reading Garrett’s book, b/c this one definitely disappointed.  Or maybe it’s that it lived down to my low expectations.  Basically, if you’re hoping that Garrett has a huge transformation, or […]
