4.5 stars — I seem to be on a bit of a roll! This very much felt like a souped up Hallmark Christmas movie…by which I mean it might have had similarities to loose Hallmark plotlines, but the story was deeper and there was less cheese. And since I’m personally not as interested in the […]
4.5 stars — You know what? This fucking delighted me. I don’t even know why, but I just was completely enamoured with Maelyn’s bizarre journey, and I ended it with so much satisfaction. I think part of that delight was wholeheartedly the narration by Patti Murin. Which is funny, b/c she wasn’t perfect. But there […]
4 stars — This one went a lot better than I was anticipating in some moments. I’m scurr of “litrature” as Eric would say. I am low brow…so very far from high brow. And I think I can be intimidated by books that have a more high brow feel. This wasn’t quite that though…it was […]
2 stars — Oh dear. I don’t know why I didn’t DNF this book. I should have. I think I just needed to see how it would all end up. But I am so not the reader I used to be, and I can’t unsee some things. BTW, this review is going to be spoilery…and […]
3.5 stars — There were definitely a lot of fun elements, and I enjoyed the world (even though I may not have always understood what exactly Trinity is…perhaps I should have read book 1 first?). I will admit that the writing was a bit more basic than what I typically enjoy. Definitely not bad, but…I […]
4 stars — You know what I love? The combination of Mary Jane Wells narrating Tessa Dare words. I’m not sure I can even explain it, but Ms. Wells brings out the fun and sass in Ms. Dare’s characters. Warning, in order for my review not to be slightly spoilery, I’m going to refer to […]
3 stars — This one just didn’t come together like I expected. It wasn’t a bad book per se, but it was definitely missing some magic. I’m not sure I really fell in love with either character. Nico and Jade are both so…uncertain and wishy-washy with relationships, there just wasn’t a lot that drew me […]
3.5 stars — This had a lot of cute moments, but there were just a few things that prevented it from standing out. Brady was pretty adorable. I loved how caring he was with everyone in his life. But man, he needed to grow some balls (and I hate that phrase). I mean seriously, I […]
4.5 stars — You know what? This was the perfect book to kick off my holiday reading season. It was adorable and hilarious, with a good mix of heart and emotion. Julie and Gavin were just gold together. I loved the relationship they had as friends as the book starts, and ADORE the way their […]
This one made me feel all the feels! It had a great christmas spirit mixed with an easy flow. The attraction between Russ and Esteban seemed effortless. They made a great team and complimented each other’s personalities. While Russ was kind of a basket case what with re-learning how to be a civilian and not […]
