A Fine Mess by Kelly Siskind

A Fine Mess by Kelly Siskind

4 stars — OK, I will admit that that blurb leaves a bit to be desired.  I wasn’t even sure if I was interested when I came across this browsing through NetGalley, so I went to Goodreads to skim some reviews already posted for a bit better taste of what the book was about…b/c that […]

The Strongest Steel by Scarlett Cole

The Strongest Steel by Scarlett Cole

Aside: OK, super funny story.  I saw this as a recommended romance request on one of those NetGalley e-mails I usually ignore.  And it sounded really good, so I took a chance requesting it, even though I wasn’t sure what the publisher’s approval preferences were.  So I was pretty stoked when I was approved.  I […]

Getting Lucky Number Seven by Cindi Madsen

Getting Lucky Number Seven by Cindi Madsen

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — Exactly what you always get in a Cindi Madsen book — adorable quirky characters who have great chemistry. And apparently I am short on words today, cause that’s all I got. Thoroughly enjoyed the book, don’t take my lack of verbosity as anything but a rift in the space-time continuum. […]

Point of Origin by Rebecca Yarros

Point of Origin by Rebecca Yarros

4.5 stars — Oooooo!!!  I sincerely hope this is the start of a new series by Ms. Yarros, b/c I want to know ALL THE STORIES!!  This little novella was a great introduction to the town of Legacy and the Hotshots. And Bash and Emerson were fantastic!  Lots of angst and heartbreak, but also lots […]

Taking Shots by Toni Aleo

Taking Shots by Toni Aleo

2.5 stars — Well crap.  I have a few friends that really enjoyed this book, and so I was really looking forward to it.  It started off a bit rough for me — for an Indie book being picked up by Loveswept, I guess I was a little disappointed that there were still quite a […]

From This Day Forward by Lauren Layne

From This Day Forward by Lauren Layne

3.5 stars — This little novella was a great set up for the new series, and I enjoyed the glimpses of the characters we’re soon to meet — particularly Heather, she seems like a hoot!  And I’m a lover of weddings, a romantic at heart, so the setting seems perfect. Leah and Jason’s story, however, just […]

Winging It by Cate Cameron

Winging It by Cate Cameron

3.5 stars — This was a super cute addition to the series, and I was actually surprised when it wasn’t Toby and Dawn…for some reason I totally thought it was going to be.  But Nat was perfect for Toby, so it obviously worked out in the end.  😛 I found that this one just didn’t *quite* […]

Good Girl by Lauren Layne

Good Girl by Lauren Layne

3 stars — Not one of my favourite Lauren Layne books, but not a bad standard romance.  I think I was just missing some chemistry or something.  It could have been I just wasn’t in the right mood, but I just wasn’t feeling that butterfly in the tummy feeling between Jenny and Noah, you know?  […]
