4.5 stars — This one surprised me! While I could tell from the blurb that there wasn’t any cheating, I still wasn’t sure exactly what that meant and how it would reflect on our characters. It was definitely complicated, but I was okay with it, so phew! I seriously fell in love with Sebastien. I […]
4 stars — Ellie!!! I totally forgot that this was an Ellie I already knew, so bonus fun for anyone who is a fan of the True North series. (but you don’t miss out on anything if you haven’t read about her already) I did not expect to love Patrick as much as I did! […]
3 stars — I was really looking forward to Paxton’s story from the glimpses of him I’d had in other books, but I had a hard time connecting with him and Naomi. I think part of the problem is that the writing style didn’t work as well for me. I think I’ve tried other books […]
4.5 stars — Wow, I did not expect to love Baby Bayer as much as I did. I mean, I always know Ms. Bowen is going to give me great characters, but I really fell for Anton. And it didn’t hurt that he had the perfect paramour in Sylvie! Sylvie was straightforward and down to […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heck of a lot of fun! And not just fun, but lots of depth too. I had heard great things going in, but honestly that just makes me wary that I’m going to be the one who doesn’t belong to the cool group. Fear not! I fell […]
4 stars — You know what? This was not as crazy and over the top as I’d been expecting. I think Max Monroe rides that line for me, where my secondhand embarrassment just gets to be too much, and in general this one survived my cringe test. I think part of what helped me enjoy […]
4 4.5 stars — If you’re a reader of my reviews, you know I’m suuuupppper picky about my enemies to lovers trope… And honestly? For the first 40-50% of this book I wasn’t sure if this one was going to work for me personally (like, I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t wowing me). But damn, […]
4 stars — Maybe even 4.5, still deciding. Poppy’s poop jokes and that kind of humour felt out of place. Don’t know why. I’m not opposed to that humour, it just didn’t fit for me. I LOVED Poppy’s quirks and generally sunny outlook. She was that strange mix of insecure and confident that I love […]
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 started off listening to this one, but the audio just wasn’t capturing me and holding my attention as much, so I switched to reading and it was much smoother. I will admit it took me a bit to really connect with Holland. It’s funny, it’s like as a character she was […]
