So far it hasn’t really diverted from the original that much, which isn’t a bad thing per say, but I like to see a bit of variety in my re-tellings. Its started to get good. Its just very slow moving. Once we figured out the Elle was really a super secret spy for the crown, […]
This one made me feel all the feels! It had a great christmas spirit mixed with an easy flow. The attraction between Russ and Esteban seemed effortless. They made a great team and complimented each other’s personalities. While Russ was kind of a basket case what with re-learning how to be a civilian and not […]
3.5 stars — There was a lot of feelz going on in this book…my heart isn’t always in the mood for that level of drama and angst, and I’m torn on whether I was in the right mood reading this. But the thing is that I was sucked in and connected to these characters, even if […]
DNF @ 13% (Chapter 5 of Wet) — *sigh* OK, I know I’m in a bit of a slump, so I’m probably DNF’ing quicker than I normally would. But I just had a hard time getting into this one. I’m not really connecting with Sadie that much, and so far West hasn’t pulled me in […]
3 stars — Well…this one didn’t work as well for me as Crew and Case’s romances. I honestly found myself skimming the sex scenes for the last half of the book. I think it really could have been edited down a bit and then the pacing would have worked better. I also had a hard […]
DNF @24% (Chapter 10) — So, this is a new author for me, and I was excited to read her for black history month. And it looked like this was going to be a bit of an ownvoices book too, so double yay! But right away I could tell the writing wouldn’t likely be a […]
OVERALL: 3 stars — I think these were just too short for me, and so I just couldn’t get into them. *shrugs* Oh well. HEAT OF THE MOMENT: 3 stars — This was a solid leaning-more-towards-erotica short story until I hit the ending. Then I grew angry at Garrett’s insensitive overreaction, and annoyed that Shelby […]
4.5 stars — Well that was everything and a bowl of ice cream. Honestly? There were parts of this book that were like 10 stars, and then a few parts that were less, so I averaged and got to 4.5 rounded up…feel free to figure that one out. But seriously. I can’t tell you how […]
Favorite Quotes: “Why are you ashamed of your body?” His soft voice caressed her bones. “I’m not,” she said, and it was true. She loved the hardness of her thighs, the tautness of her belly, the powerful clench of muscles in her back when she drew back her bowstring. “But in my culture, a female’s […]
Willow and Jason had a very weird relationship before the zombie apocalypse started. He seemed to blame her for shit that wasn’t really fault but her mother’s. In fact, his whole motorcycle club he was part of put the sins of the parent on the kid. So when the shit hit the fan, she didn’t […]
