4.5 stars — Oh dude!! This book took me through the ringer. I swear, my poor hubby. I was about to start reading again, and gave a huge anxiety induced sigh and my hubby made the mistake of asking me what’s wrong…and after I finished explaining how I wasn’t sure of this person’s motive, and […]
4 stars — After rereading book 2 in this series, I *had* to go back and reread the first one. There’s something about the whole premise of being trapped in a mall, trying to foil bad guys that just appeals to me. And I almost wonder if I enjoyed it even more the second time […]
They finally come clean with each other and it’s glorious! Although I gotta say that the boys are bit overzealous with how protective and Riot is too controlling for my taste. Ever allows them to get under her skin and sometimes does the opposite of what they want just to be contrary which I found […]
This was a fantastic start to a potentially great series. I liked how lost everyone was in this book and how emotive they all were. The mystery plot was not too intricate that you had to pay a lot of attention but strong enough to hold the story together and not make it all about […]
4 stars — It’s been a LONG time since I read this one, back when it was a Harlequin Romance Suspense, and I even think I still have it on paperback somewhere…or else I loaned it to someone. I remember really enjoying this series, and that this one in particular was my favourite. It definitely […]
5 stars — AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I have the BIGGEST GIRL CRUSH IN HISTORY!!!! I remember Code of Conduct being my favourite book (that I read) from Smartypants Romance Launch #1, and Ms. White was a new author to me at that time. So I had high hopes for this story, but anything can happen, you know? […]
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 […]
Favorite Quotes: I hate living in a shitty misogynistic world where girls can’t walk alone, but … it’s kind of a reality, isn’t it? I shouldn’t have to try to avoid being raped—guys shouldn’t rape. But there’s the world we should live in, the world we wish we lived in, and then there’s the nightmare […]
4 stars — I had a few problems with some things that happened in the shorter fantasy part of the story, but once we got into the reality section, I was sucked in and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It had a lot of the elements that I enjoy about other books by Ms. Hebert…and some of […]
4.5 stars — I’ve been wanting to read this one since last Christmas, and I loved the blend of holiday, romance and suspense! This was my first time listening to Vivienne Leheny, and she was solid. She had a great emotional range, and her voices were consistent. I didn’t even mind that she narrated both […]
