4 stars — Hey look! I hadn’t read this one before! For some reason I guess I assumed I’d read all the Harlequin Presents books I kept…I wonder what other ones are up there. ANYWAYS. Trish Wylie is totally making my faves list. She knows how to take normal Presents tropes and update them for […]
4 stars — You know what? This felt like a delicious guilty pleasure YA read. I’m a huge Broadway fan, so this was like bonus good for me — I loved the look into a new Broadway show. And not only that, but there were lots of references to other musicals, and it was just so […]
3.5 stars — Well, that was a big bag of mixed. I wonder if this author might inevitably just not be for me. This book reminded me a lot of Helena Hunting’s Pucked. It’s so popular and everyone loves it, but the over the topness is just a bit too over the top for this […]
3 stars — Womp womp. Some good stuff, but a LOT of toxicity that I just can’t not notice, you know? Ophelia had her moments of being strong and challenging — her attempt to foil Lysander with the interview for example made me laugh. And at least she wasn’t too ashamed of her own sexuality…kind […]
3.5 stars — I got it into my head that I need to get rid of some of these paperbacks I kept, so I might be rereading them to weed out the winners from the “I’m too woke now”. This one will probably go, but I really do find it surprising how Ms. Graham can […]
4 stars — I…think I’ve already read this one. I mean, it’s possible that the plots are just so similar sometimes, but I actually wonder if I read it on paperback and then forgot and snagged it on ebook because it was free at the Harlequin store. I’m leaning towards the latter…it would explain why […]
4.5 stars — There’s just something about a Cassie Mae book that gives me what I don’t get anywhere else. The characters are so unique and realistic and they just get to my heart. And they’re just so freaking adorable, I can’t even! I will admit, Tanner has made the book boyfriend list. I shouldn’t […]
4 stars — I needed this after trying to read some other old Harlequin Presents, and being just totally turned off. I think I needed to remind myself that while in general this line no longer works for me, there were some gems that still would. I’m just glad the gamble paid off, you know? Honestly, […]
4.5 stars — Who has avoided this review for no reason whatsoever? This girl!! I finished it last night, and I just can’t get my thoughts in order. I have no idea why. I’m just in a bad mood. Dawn and Adam’s story was NOTHING like what I was expecting. I mean, I’m not sure […]
4.5 stars — Sarah Mayberry writes the kind of banter between characters that I live for. I can’t tell you the number of times I laughed out loud. And it’s not just everyday banter, she writes these fun steamy scenes that make my tummy flutter at the same time I’m giggling. I always feel like that […]
