OVERALL: 4 stars — 3 solid stories that actually made me happy?  Not a bad ratio IMO. HOT ITEM by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward 4 stars — I almost DNF’d this one in the first few pages!!  Holly and Bryce don’t start this book off on the best foot, and they gave me a […]

A Year of Love by Various Authors

OVERALL: 3 stars — August and November were the stand outs for me!  I think I’m starting to realize I may not be into anthologies of short stories, especially when often times they are fan service, and if you’re not already a fan it leaves you a bit in the lurch. JANUARY – RINGING IN […]

A Little Too Wild by Devney Perry

A Little Too Wild by Devney Perry

4 stars — This one was probably 4.5 stars for quite a bit of it, but the ending kind of hit me pretty suddenly.  I don’t know if it’s actually worth the half star loss, but it just felt like I was expecting something more.  I did get a great epilogue, don’t get me wrong, […]

All I Want… by Isabel Sharpe

All I Want… by Isabel Sharpe

DNF @17% — Wow.  We hadn’t even gotten to the start of what was listed as the blurb, and I’m already totally out.  Neither character was that admirable in my opinion.  I was almost out with Krista from her first blog post that starts the book.  I’m not the kind of person that’s interested in […]

A Ring to Secure His Heir by Lynne Graham

A Ring to Secure His Heir by Lynne Graham

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — OK, I have generally always loved Lynne Graham books…there are always exceptions to the rule, but I know I can gamble on her books and *usually* come out a winner. This was no exception and reminded me why Ms. Graham takes the “Presents” genre and goes with it without the […]

Bet on It by Jodie Slaughter

Bet on It by Jodie Slaughter

DNF @14% — When it’s been 11 days, and you’ve only made it a few chapters in, it’s time to call it. I was really interested in the anxiety rep for this book, and the own voices in general.  And, so far, the anxiety rep looked really solid. My problem is I just wasn’t interested […]

Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood

Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood

4 stars — I found this one to feel a bit shorter than the other two novellas, and I will admit I wish I had a bit more time of Hannah and Ian together.  Partially because I really loved the moments where they bonded in the past on that one day, and would have loved […]

Stuck with You by Ali Hazelwood

Stuck with You by Ali Hazelwood

4.5 stars — Damn!  I seem to be in a novella mood, and luckily I also seem to be finding ones that succeed despite the short format!  Yay me!  Yay books! Can I start off by saying that I adored this narrator?  She was both cute and sassy, and while I genuinely have NO IDEA […]
