The Rules of Rebellion by Amity Hope

The Rules of Rebellion by Amity Hope

4 stars — This was perfect for what I was looking for — something light (but not completely without depth), cute, and easy. Kylie was pretty easy to like — a bit of a goody goody, but I can connect with that.  I loved her passion for cooking, and I loved how her rebelling brought […]

Slices of Life by Ruby Dixon

Slices of Life by Ruby Dixon

OVERALL: 4 stars — Usually when I read a set of short stories, they are by different authors so they’re inconsistent.  But these were all unique but great! HAVING THE BARBARIAN’S BABY 4 stars — Okay, Cashol was adorable.  Like, start to finish adorable.  I loved the way he would tease Megan and do everything […]

Barbarian’s Taming by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Taming by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — Yay!!  I always love it when a book you’re unsure/wary of turns out better than you expect! I was so worried I wasn’t going to connect with Maddie.  And while yes, it was definitely hard at times, I got to see into the heart of her and really feel for some of […]

Barbarian’s Touch by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Touch by Ruby Dixon

4.5 stars — Well damn, this was just perfect for me. Lila is my kind of heroine — starts out timid and awkward, ends up embracing the challenges and adapting.  I loved the way she came into her own when forced out of the protection of her sister.  She learned what she was made of, […]

Barbarian’s Mate by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Mate by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — Honestly, I was super worried because Josie frustrated the crap out of me for the first half of this book.  I didn’t understand her blind spots, I genuinely just didn’t.  First half was 3 stars maybe.  But then she finally got a clue, and the plot picked up and the second half […]

Hideaway by Rachel Lacey

Hideaway by Rachel Lacey

3.5 stars — This was a sweet story with a good solid connection between the heroines, but I think I got too frustrated with Taylor’s reticence and I lost my enthusiasm for their love story. Phoebe had these sweet and bright qualities, and I could see how Taylor was attracted to them.  I really appreciated […]

Barbarian’s Prize by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Prize by Ruby Dixon

3.5 stars — Don’t get me wrong, I’m still enjoying the series…but I about lost my patience with Tiffany.  Her struggles felt very drawn out and repetitive.  And something about the way things were resolved…like, I have no experience with that kind of trauma, and I know everyone’s experience is different, but it felt…I don’t […]

Little Miss Perfect by Julia Kent

Little Miss Perfect by Julia Kent

4 stars — I was needing something light and easy, like a palate cleanser for a book hangover, and this fit the bill.  I haven’t read the rest of the series yet, and I can imagine that if I never did, this story would be unsatisfying…but it sets up that story fairly well in that […]

Give Love a Chai by Nanxi Wen

Give Love a Chai by Nanxi Wen

3.5 stars — Huh.  This story didn’t play out at all like I was expecting.  Which is not a bad thing necessarily, but it may not have been as good a fit for me. Andrew and Tia’s relationship was more volatile than I was expecting.  I know there are all different types of relationships out […]

Mad About Ewe by Susannah Nix

Mad About Ewe by Susannah Nix

3.5 stars — I enjoyed parts of the book, but ended up feeling kind of meh on other parts. I think part of my problem is that I had a hard time connecting with parts of Dawn…or maybe the extremes of Dawn.  Like, I can definitely vibe with the caretaker personality of not wanting to […]
