Chance of a Lifetime by Marissa Clarke

Chance of a Lifetime by Marissa Clarke

4.5 stars — SQUEEEEEE!!!!  This was totally my kind of book!!!  I loved the characters, I loved the chemistry, I loved the steaminess!!  It just totally worked for me. I actually put it higher on the reading queue b/c it fit for a Diversity Challenge theme this month, and I absolutely LOVED what Gen being […]

The Feeling of Forever by Jamie Howard

The Feeling of Forever by Jamie Howard

4.5 stars — OMG you guys, I was sucked into this one from the first chapter all the way to the very end of the epilogue.  I didn’t want it to end!!  And this love mostly came down to the characters.  I am in love with both Juliet and Felix!!  I tend to develop book […]

Bountiful by Sarina Bowen

Bountiful by Sarina Bowen

4.5 stars — OMG!!  I am in love with Dave Beringer!!  I mean, like, “go to Brooklyn and look for Gingers in the hopes that one is the fictional Dave Beringer” kind of love.  Because I did that.  Today.  I have no shame. I have not read the previous 3 books in the True North series […]

Cuff Me by Lauren Layne

Cuff Me by Lauren Layne

4.5 stars — THIS BOOK!!!  OK, I read the first two books in this series quite a while ago (I got them both as ARCs), and both ones had a lot of promise, but there were just things about them that niggled me and prevented me from loving them.  But THIS was the book I […]

Made for You by Lauren Layne

Made for You by Lauren Layne

3 stars — Oh dudes…  I know I’ve been conflicted about books before, but I can honestly say this one is probably my most conflicted ever.  Because the things I loved, I LOVED.  But there were things that I essentially hated too…or at least strongly disliked, b/c I really try not to hate things. So […]

Take the Lead by Alexis Daria

Take the Lead by Alexis Daria

3.5 stars — There were a few things that stood out and made this a must request book for me, and it was those things that I enjoyed the most in this story. First, I’m a sucker for a book about dancing.  I’m really not a very good dancer myself (though I still try, I have, […]

Bossman by Vi Keeland

Bossman by Vi Keeland

4.5 stars — Since I’d had less success with Ms. Keeland’s solo works, but GREAT success with her first co-written work, I was curious to see how I’d enjoy this one…it came highly recommended by some bloggers I follow.  And I’m here to tell you, I floved it!!!  Can I get a woohoo??!!  Basically it […]

Cocky Bastard by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

Cocky Bastard by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

4 stars — YAYYYYY!!!  After reading my first Vi Keeland novel and being underwhelmed, I was a bit concerned about trying more.  But I’d heard so many good things about her more recent novels, and also about these books that she and Penelope Ward have co-written.  So I tried a sample, and was absolutely hooked!! […]

Belong to You by Vi Keeland

Belong to You by Vi Keeland

2.5 stars — I read this book in an anthology (inTENse), and I’m thinking it wasn’t the best introduction to Ms. Keeland’s works.  From what I can vibe from reviews, it’s got a bit of a different feel, and besides that, earlier works are never the best representations. This book was just very meh for […]

Juked by M.E. Carter

Juked by M.E. Carter

4 stars — Loved it!  I read this one in a day you guys.  It was just an easy, fun read, but with its share of drama and heartbreak as well. What’s funny is that usually it’s characters that put me over the top on a book, and while I enjoyed both characters, individually they […]
