Eh this one was only ok. Very middle of the road, nothing extra special happens that stands out. Trauhn is a possessive alpha who claims one of the humans as soon as they emerge from their crash. I liked his character just fine, but I like these kind of characters. But even his character fell […]
3.5 stars — *sigh* These books are super fast to gobble up, and I do enjoy that in some ways. But it does mean that, again, not a lot of time is given to certain plot points to really expand on the emotional impact. In this case it was Knox’s father, and Reese’s healing. Knox […]
This one was run of the mill, nothing real special about it. High ranking politial alien (Drax) needs a mate to stabilize his home land; finds ameable human (Lillian) with no ties to family. Human makes hunky alien see compassion and starts to catch feelings. Really that’s all this one is. I didn’t really find […]
Favorite Quote: She still refuses to look at me. If nothing else, her shame is evidence that she has a soul. That’s good. Souls are rolling, organic, never-dying things. Bodies are born and die and decay in between. This book was so fucking delicious! But also, tragic and borderline ridiculous. And I loved every word. […]
3.5 stars — This is a case of a book being almost perfect for me, but failing to get out of its own way in certain areas. Like seriously, I know lots of people are tired of this trope, but I still gravitate towards it — so the book didn’t need to work very hard. […]
3.5 stars — I will admit that I have not read any Austen books, including Emma. But as I was reading this book I realized I did know another Emma retelling really well: Clueless!! It helped to have that in the back of my mind in some ways, to sort of acknowledge certain aspects of […]
3.5 stars — This was a sweet story with a hero that was SO easy to love, and a heroine that grew and came into her own over the course of the story! For me, something about the pacing and the writing kept it from a higher rating…otherwise it was a solid romance. As I […]
4 stars — This was a solid Sarina Bowen read — you got heart, you got fantastic relationships between characters, you got some insightful looks into issues facing couples that often aren’t discussed… I really appreciated all the layers to Tank’s character. I can’t go into all of them, because it would be spoilery — but […]
This one was an easy read. No real plot or character depth, but a fun story. It was a bit too unbelievable, even knowing it’s fiction. Everything just fell into place a little easily. There was no real big bad that was difficult to beat. As soon as something bad happened, it was resolved almost […]
3.5 stars — Overall I was definitely entertained, but I wasn’t quite as sucked in as other books in this series. That might have just been me, and my mental state at the moment, it’s hard to tell these days. I also left this review as just notes for freaking ever, and now I’m too […]
