Christmas Kiss by Tammy Andresen

Christmas Kiss by Tammy Andresen

3.5 stars — There were a lot of cute elements in this book that I really enjoyed, but ultimately they were overshadowed by characters behaving badly. So what do I mean by that?  Well Evan is kind of a dick.  And unfortunately really immature as well.  At times I found it refreshing that these college […]

On the Brink of Passion by Tamsen Parker

On the Brink of Passion by Tamsen Parker

4 stars — Quite a few of the books in this series start off in such a strange manner wrt the romance…and this one was not an exception.  I was initially super uncomfortable with the arrangement between Beckett and Jubilee.  It was awkward, and not hot, and just…fucked up.  But here’s what’s funny.  It was awkward […]

Prose Before Bros by Cathy Yardley

Prose Before Bros by Cathy Yardley

4 stars — I adore this author and the kinds of characters she brings to the table, and she didn’t disappoint in this book either.  Drill and Thuy were hella unique, and I loved how they just fit with one another. Now, I’ll start this review with an admission: I’m not a motorcycle club kind […]

Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren

Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren

4.5 stars — Well this was a strange romance. I felt so much for the crazy position that Tate was put in.  She’s such a strange character, because in so many ways she’s pretty weak actually.  But not completely, and that’s what made her interesting to read about.  Because she’s kind of unlike anyone I’ve […]

The Rebel of Raleigh High (Raleigh Rebels #1) by Callie Hart

The Rebel of Raleigh High (Raleigh Rebels #1) by Callie Hart

Favorite Quote: “Fuck,” I whisper. “Is it too much? Loving me? If the answer’s yes, then I’ll take you home right now. I’ll change schools. I’ll go, and you’ll never have to see me again. I don’t ever, ever wanna cause you pain.” Looking back on my notes it seems this book started out with […]

Code of Conduct by April White

Code of Conduct by April White

4.5 stars — This was a delight from start to finish.  It was so easy to fall in love with ALL OF THE CHARACTERS in this book, most especially Shane and Gabriel. They both had such interesting struggles to work through in their pasts.  I love how these traumas affected who they are now, but it […]

Love in Due Time by L.B. Dunbar

Love in Due Time by L.B. Dunbar

4 stars — This book started REALLY strong, and I was laughing out loud at some of the inner thoughts of Naomi.  There were still a lot of things I loved about the story, but I also sort of got tripped up by the writing on occasion.  I’m not sure what exactly about it, sometimes […]

5 stars — I don’t know what it is about Ms. Bowen and this world, but I’m seriously loving it… and loving where it’s going with this spin off.  So many possibilities!! Eric and Alex are both delightful and easy to connect with.  Alex is so hardworking and brilliant, it really comes across in the […]

Beard with Me by Penny Reid

Beard with Me by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts together and out of my head, this book just shook me like that. I didn’t bawl in like I was expecting to…and I think all the warnings and such made me wary of this book, so my reading of it was very drawn out.  But […]
