3 stars — Well huh. I was kinda looking forward to this one, but it just wasn’t a match for me. It started off pretty slow for me, and while it did pick up, I felt like not as much happened in the story…I wanted more. I was also pretty frustrated with both our MCs […]
4.5 stars — This one just settled in more strongly for me! There was definitely a lot of contention between the characters, but I wouldn’t call it enemies to lovers necessarily. I think I could just see how much Easton and Gemma wanted one another, so I was rooting for them. At first I wasn’t […]
3.5 stars — This was a solid romance, I just felt like it was missing something to really push it over the top. I can’t quite pinpoint what, but I just wanted *more*. Everything felt just a bit easy and rote in the story. Londyn was a solid heroine. She has a really interesting backstory, […]
3.5 stars — There were definitely some great parts to this book, but there were also some lulls and some disconnects for me… Ella was an intriguing heroine, she was all closed off in some ways, and mostly I understood why. What I didn’t get was her temper! Hoowee! Matt was actually pretty surprising for […]
4 stars — I absolutely loved the setting for this book, and now kind of want to check out a renaissance faire. And while I enjoyed Simon and Emily’s story, I have a feeling it was never going to be my favourite in a series I’m looking forward to continuing. I listened to this one, […]
3.5 stars — Well, it wasn’t as bad as my other rereads of Ms. Marinelli’s books, but there’s still this super bad behavior from the heroes that’s just a bit disappointing. The saving grace in this one is that Levander has a truly horrendous upbringing to excuse his lack of emotional intelligence. Millie was pretty […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Mostly pretty solid stories, with a few standouts! BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE by Kimberly Kincaid 3.25 stars — Solid, just didn’t blow me away. It just felt short, but that can happen with short stories. PLANES, TRAINS AND HEAD OVER HEELS by Erika Kelly 3.75 stars — Started off a bit […]
3.5 stars — This one was solid, I think I was just slightly disappointed by the time jumps…it made the story feel shorter somehow. I loved how determined and adventurous Stella was, with everything but her heart. But seeing the glimpses into the past, I could totally see how she fell in love, and wasn’t […]
3.5 stars — A pretty solid Christmas Harlequin Blaze. A little bit of mystery/suspense in it, but didn’t really play strongly into the plot. I was a little frustrated with Lydia for holding on to those teenage impressions for so long…apparently I’m not in a very understanding mood at the moment. Like, part of me […]
4 stars — Oooo, this one is hard for me to rate, because I was genuinely frustrated by the lack of communication by both Sadie and Desmond. BUT there were all these other good things in the book, so I’m sticking with the 4 stars, and not 3.5…the good deserves it. I think part of […]
