4 stars — This was a super easy read, filled with likeable characters and fabulous chemistry. I genuinely think I would have enjoyed it even more if I hadn’t been sick while trying to get it finished in a timely manner, so I almost wonder if it would have been even a 4.5 star. First, […]
3 stars — This one had a lot of potential, and some definite great parts, but the pacing just didn’t work for me. I think I originally saw myself rating this 3.5 rounded up, and it just kept getting lower as the story dragged out. I will admit that near the end I flipped forward […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was all kinds of adorable. It helps that both Scott and Luke were eminently likeable characters that I easily fell in love with, both separately and together…most especially together. In some ways I’m surprised with how much I liked Scott. He’s the ultimate sunshine, and at another time I might […]
4 stars — While I found the beginning a bit slower, I really enjoyed Jeremy and Aaron together. I felt like the issues they each faced were unique, something not as often explored. Jeremy was a playboy on the surface, but he was dealing with something pretty life changing in the background, something he didn’t […]
4.5 stars — I love it when a book just hits. There were lots of little things that reminded me strongly of The Locker Room, but not so much that it felt like a regurgitated story — this one was all its own. It was just things like *how* Rusty struggled with his parents neglect…and […]
3.5 stars — Huh. It was okay. I wasn’t blown away. I wasn’t expecting the little bit of OM stuff at the beginning, but it didn’t last long at least. And honestly? I liked our mains, but I wasn’t like in love with either of them. I get that a big part of this story […]
2.5 stars — If this hadn’t been a NetGalley ARC, I would have DNF’d it. It’s not a bad book per say, but it is NOT a Lenore book. I am SUPER picky about my military books…and this one wouldn’t have made the cut. But this was from my early days of requesting when I […]
4.5 stars — There’s just something about this story that just made me so happy while reading it. Sure, I was able to predict quite a few “twists”, but honestly? It didn’t matter ONE BIT. I was delighted to watch Jess figure things out on her own. And she was so wrapped up in her […]
4 stars — This one will be hard to review. There were so many parts that had me smiling away and feeling delighted. There were other parts that got to my heart and had me hurting with Viola and Gracewood. And there were yet other parts where things felt…confusing. But that could have been just me. […]
4 stars — Ah yes, another review I wrote in short form, and now I’m too lazy to expand and make it more readable…you get what you get. I LOVED the nerdy stuff, and was fascinated by how complicated it would be to be a woman with intellectual pursuits in this time period. I also […]
