4 stars — Brittany Pressley, the narrator for this one, did a pretty solid job. I liked most of the voices she did, but I wasn’t thrilled with the way she voiced James…though I can’t pinpoint why…I guess it just didn’t live up to the voice I had in my head for him. It grew […]
4.5 stars — This book was completely unlike what I was expecting…or rather, my initial expectations, b/c I did read a review that mentioned it was not as gut-wrenching as they were expecting, and hence why I was convinced to give it a try. I don’t mind the feels, but I like a balance. And […]
3.75 stars — After listening to and LOVING The Foxe and the Hound, which is sort of a sequel to this book in that it follows Lucas’s sister (and Daisy’s best friend) Madeleine, I just couldn’t help myself and NEEDED to hear Lucas and Daisy’s story…even if I was a bit wary. Can I just […]
3.5 stars — I’m having a hard time deciding on the final rating for this book, b/c it was simultaneously a lot of different ratings. I’m settling it at 3.5, but I kind of want to set it at 3 stars just because the ending dragged out a LOT and left me bored and wanting […]
4.5 stars — I can’t believe how much I felt for these characters in such a short period of time. The way Ms. Ryan conveys her character’s emotions is so very effective…it sucker punched me right in the feels. And what’s more interesting is that I would feel for Bristol, and then she would have […]
3.5 stars — I totally thought from the premise of the book that this one would be more erotica-ish. But it wasn’t really. Sure, it was an unconventional romance, but I wouldn’t say the steam was any higher than other adult romances. I was intrigued by the book, but I wasn’t wholly sucked in. I […]
4.5 stars — Oh wow, another audiobook win! I’m telling you, there is nothing like listening to a mild Scottish accent. Now, I will caveat that by saying I have no idea how authentic it was — I know Mr. Morgan does not normally have an accent. But for someone with no ear for authenticity, […]
4 stars — I really enjoyed this one!! It was a bit rough, starting the book with our main characters being split up, but I enjoyed getting glimpses of the past and seeing them work through their problems. It’s funny, b/c in another situation I could see this not working for me, so I’m not […]
DNF @ 7% — OK, I’ll be honest. That 7% makes me feel really guilty. This one had some great highlight-worthy lines, but I also fell asleep and had a hard time focusing on it…in the FIRST 7%. Not a great start. Sometimes there are books that aren’t style fits, and I found it hard […]
DNF @54% — I was actually really excited about this book, b/c I’d read a short story by Ms. Martinez in an anthology (F*cking Awkward), and it featured characters who were secondary characters from this series…and I LOVED that short story. It was hilarious and fun and witty. So I figured I couldn’t go wrong […]
