ORIGINAL REVIEW ON REREAD: 3.5 stars — So I think listening to the audiobook helped me put Janie’s quirks and thoughts into a better context. The narrator just had a way of making me understand how flustered Janie was in some points, so the parts that I previously thought were clinical were more just endearing […]
4.5 stars — Yay! Another fairytale success for me! My reactions have been very mixed with these, so I was so relieved when I was immediately sucked into Colton and Verity’s love story. I found Colton to be absolutely fascinating. I loved the extra little bit about the disability he was struggling with, something I […]
Favorite Quotes: I have plans to sleep in, read an endless number of books, and soak for hours in the outdoor hot tub under the stars. In between all that, I intend to do some yoga, bake, snowshoe, and simply enjoy the peace and solitude that being in the middle of the woods brings. “And […]
4.5 stars — Wow. I mean, I was just freaking sucked into this book from start to finish. OK, OK, I will admit that at the end I became impatient, because I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, and I would skip ahead a few pages…we all knew the cliffhanger was coming. But […]
This book started out fantastic! I as excited to see her heal and move forward. Except, she effing didn’t! She waffled back and forth for sooooo long that I stopped caring about her after I found out the big bad secret, which was drug out for so long it lost all meaning by the time […]
I really liked this book. It was better than the first one, which I enjoyed a lot as well. This story was way more emtionally intense due to the domestic abuse. I suppose I should warn folks with triggers here. It gets pretty graphic. I was surprised how much I connected with these characters because […]
4 stars — I’m not always a big fan of enemies to lovers, but this one worked out okay for me. I think part of it is that there wasn’t any genuine hostility, they just enjoyed being rivals and giving each other shit. So there was a lot of little taunts and jabs, but it never […]
DNF @ chapter 8 (24%) — Okay, I’ll be honest…this one was always likely to be a stretch for me, since I’m not actually into alpha assholes or bad boys. But I was intrigued by the blurb, and every once in a while I want to give books outside of my wheelhouse a try just […]
4.5 stars — OK, wow, this book went in places I wasn’t anticipating at all. And while I don’t want to spoil things, I will warn that if you have problems with people in porn or the sex industry, then you should steer clear. So while I was surprised what subjects this book tackled, I […]
4 stars — I think one of things I loved the most about this book is that Ms. Kennedy took a few stereotypes and dove into them, turning them onto their heads and providing depth to those experiences. In particular the “blonde party girl” and the “jock”. I love that kind of thing. I love […]
