The Treble With Men by Piper Sheldon

The Treble With Men by Piper Sheldon

4.5 stars — OK, I was totally not expecting a Phantom of the Opera retelling!!  That delighted me.  I don’t know if it’s bad to ruin that, because it occurred to me slowly, more and more, as the book went on…but then again, it could bring people to the book who might not have taken […]

Don’t Kiss the Messenger by Katie Ray

Don’t Kiss the Messenger by Katie Ray

4 stars — Well…huh.  So, this is another mixed bag for me.  On the one hand, I found both Cece and Emmett to be a bit unbearable in their pretention and snobbery…and I’m not generally a fan of seeing my MCs in a romance getting together/kissing/etc with other people (and we saw that from both […]

The Kissing Contract by Amy Andrews

The Kissing Contract by Amy Andrews

4 stars — There were parts of this book that were like 5+ stars incredible.  So much great humour at times, and in general I found Marshall to be super swoony.  Plus, bunnies.  Unfortunately, Gus frustrated me on *many* occasions, lowering my final rating. I know it was probably a bad idea to read a […]

Been There Done That by Hope Ellis

Been There Done That by Hope Ellis

3.5 stars — This one started off as a solid 4 star, and I was really intrigued about what went down that caused Nick to leave, and how their reunion was going to go.  Both characters seemed solid and likeable.  I loved the ownvoices aspect to Zora.  And I’m always down for a book with smart/nerdy […]

Bench Player by Julianna Keyes

Bench Player by Julianna Keyes

4.5 stars — Well, this book was a lot more emotionally impactful than I was expecting.  Not that I don’t expect any emotion, but I also don’t expect to have a bawling episode.  But I’m also tired. When I started reading the book, I wasn’t sure what to think about Connor.  He’s this reticent, reserved […]

Code of Honor by April White

Code of Honor by April White

5 stars — AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!  I have the BIGGEST GIRL CRUSH IN HISTORY!!!!  I remember Code of Conduct being my favourite book (that I read) from Smartypants Romance Launch #1, and Ms. White was a new author to me at that time.  So I had high hopes for this story, but anything can happen, you know?  […]

Now or Never (Iris Boys #1) by Lucy Smoke

Now or Never (Iris Boys #1) by Lucy Smoke

Honestly, I was really let down with this one. But I picked this book from a group without really reading the blurb so I have only myself to blame. First off, she trusted them way too quickly. Her personality was pretty bland and I nothing really stuck out to me that made me relate to […]

Beef Cake by Jiffy Kate

Beef Cake by Jiffy Kate

4.5 stars — This was a FANTASTIC new addition to this series!!  I did read Stud Muffin before this one, and while I’m personally glad I did, you wholeheartedly could read this one as a standalone without missing anything. Frankie was such an intriguing heroine!  She was SO CLOSED OFF it was insane!  But for […]
