4.5 stars — Well that was just a gobble it up read, with likeable characters and a couple you root for! I don’t know if maybe it was just the first read to pull me out of my slump, but I enjoyed this enough I was even sneaking in bits during active vacation — which […]
4 stars — Harry and Pippa were both very likeable characters, but I think I’m still not quite in reading mode and so I got a bit frustrated with them (mostly Pippa) at times…I also might have had a hard time suspending my disbelief on how often Alice conveniently napped. *snort* For all that Harry […]
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 stars — Man, I needed this. I can always count on Ms. Mayberry for just a solid romance, but without any of the usual clichés. I think the only reason I hadn’t bumped up to 4.5 is because there was the almost cliché of them both being in love but not believing the other […]
3 stars — Huh. I remember loving the first book, but this one felt like it was missing something. I almost DNF’d it because it just wasn’t pulling me in, but I really wanted to finish another series for my challenge, and it was only 200 pages… Honestly, the characters had some great moments/qualities, but […]
OVERALL: 3 stars — I started reading this anthology in September of *2017*. I read a few, then set it aside. Then I’d read a story, then set it aside. There were a few good ones, but not as many as I’d probably like in an anthology. A LOT of the stories were more fan […]
4.5 stars — I started off absolutely loving this one — it was everything I love in a Christina Lauren book: spunky heroine, sweet hero, moments of comedy, interesting and different characters (both main and secondary). And an interesting and unique premise. Even the push and pull between Lily and Leo was palpable — struggling with […]
