So this one was short and not sweet. Lol, it went gang busters from the very beginning. I was sad we only got Mel’s POV cause in Vicious I really liked the alternate POV’s. I guess in this one it wasn’t really necessary. I don’t think that Jaime intended to fall in love with his […]
Eh this book was alright. I think she was a little too hard on herself and the quick lay wasn’t really my style of romance. He made it very clear that she was his second choice and was just trying to get his dick wet. I mean more power to them for getting each other […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I truly enjoyed about this story, but also a few things that were a bit meh. I actually genuinely liked both Eilish and Bryan on the whole. They were characters that had both made mistakes or rather were living with the consequences of their decisions. The problem is […]
4.5 stars — This story legitimately had so many layers, and they all wove together just masterfully. I was invested in all of them too — not just the romance, but how our characters were going to grow and develop, what was going to happen with Cam’s family, would the jerks in the town ever […]
4 stars — I love these Crush line of books, I always gravitate towards them when I’m looking for something fairly light and easy to read. Which is not to say they never dip a toe into tough topics, just that it’s not usually the central theme. And that’s exactly what I was looking for, […]
3.5 stars — There was a lot of feelz going on in this book…my heart isn’t always in the mood for that level of drama and angst, and I’m torn on whether I was in the right mood reading this. But the thing is that I was sucked in and connected to these characters, even if […]
DNF @ 13% (Chapter 5 of Wet) — *sigh* OK, I know I’m in a bit of a slump, so I’m probably DNF’ing quicker than I normally would. But I just had a hard time getting into this one. I’m not really connecting with Sadie that much, and so far West hasn’t pulled me in […]
3 stars — Well…this one didn’t work as well for me as Crew and Case’s romances. I honestly found myself skimming the sex scenes for the last half of the book. I think it really could have been edited down a bit and then the pacing would have worked better. I also had a hard […]
DNF @24% (Chapter 10) — So, this is a new author for me, and I was excited to read her for black history month. And it looked like this was going to be a bit of an ownvoices book too, so double yay! But right away I could tell the writing wouldn’t likely be a […]
OVERALL: 3 stars — I think these were just too short for me, and so I just couldn’t get into them. *shrugs* Oh well. HEAT OF THE MOMENT: 3 stars — This was a solid leaning-more-towards-erotica short story until I hit the ending. Then I grew angry at Garrett’s insensitive overreaction, and annoyed that Shelby […]
