4 stars — Wow, those secrets were, in some ways, darker than I had expected. And yet many parts of this book were so fun and sweet! Gigi was pretty adorable, and it’s amazing how bright she shined given her life up until that point. It was actually kind of delightful to see. I admire […]
4.5 stars — This was delightful, and what I’ve come to expect from Ms. Dare — quirky sassy characters in unconventional romances. This was my first time listening to Ms. Rose as a narrator, and she was not bad. I found it wasn’t always as easy to tell apart her voices, they weren’t always consistent […]
4 stars — I think this book went a little differently than I was expecting from the blurb. I expected a much stronger music/poetry component, and it wasn’t really there…it was more background, felt tacked on. But at the same time what I did get was fantastic. Cooper surprised the heck out of me. I was […]
3.5 stars — I really enjoyed both Jasper and Liam, but I will admit I wanted more from their story… Jasper was a lot more grumpy and disgruntled than I had been expecting. I knew he was going to be exceptionally standoffish and closed off, just from the peek we’d seen in Unguarded (which you […]
4 stars — This one was solid, but I will admit it took me quite awhile to figure out Harrec and his behavior. There was actually quite a bit more to Harrec’s story than I was expecting, and it really helped to understand why he is the way he is. He almost comes off a […]
3.5 stars — OK, I haven’t read any other books in this series, but can I get a pet peeve out of the way? The series is called Mediterranean Nights. This book takes place in the Caribbean. *Marge Simpson growl* I will admit that while this book was easy to read, it took me awhile to […]
4.5 stars — If you told me one of my faves in this series would be Bek’s story, I would have laughed in your face. But here we are. What’s strange about all that is that Bek was still a jerk at many parts of the book…but we got to see him grow and learn […]
4.5 stars — This was exactly what I needed after the emotional overload that was Ashe and Hemalo’s book. Not saying that there weren’t emotional moments in this one…but there was also a SHITTON of laughter, and I adored that. Farli is just so naïve and innocent and just a ray of sunshine. I couldn’t […]
4.5 stars — Well boy howdy, that sucked me in and spit out a happy little reader. I was entranced almost from the very first line. I wasn’t expecting these two characters, but I LOVED them. I felt so much for them, and I really appreciated how different they were to many other couples I […]
4 stars — I’m not sure if it was my mood, but while I LOVED parts of this story, I found my mind wandering while reading as well. I think it doesn’t help when there’s a lot of hype for a book…my brain doesn’t do good with hype. Which is stupid, but there it is. I […]
