4.5 stars — This one just hit me in all the right spots. I loved that it was the perfect fat girl book for me, in that it was so realistic — a mix of struggles with being fat, and feeling positivity. I think I was in right from the author’s note at the start, b/c […]
3.5 stars — I’ve only recently gotten into historical romance, and I’m probably pretty picky about it. While this didn’t wow me like Ms. Kleypas or Ms. Dare, for a debut it was pretty solid. This was my first time listening to Ms. Jasicki, but I really enjoyed her. It’s funny, something about her accent […]
2.5 stars — This book wasn’t bad per say, but it was very very meh for me. If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, and I wasn’t buddy reading it, I probably would have DNFd it. I could see a lot of potential, but in the end the word I would use to describe it is […]

4.5 stars — I feel like this series is just getting better and better…or maybe it’s that I was really excited about Zep and Roxie’s story, and while it took me on a wild ride, it definitely lived up to my expectations. Zep was a COMPLETE surprise for me. I mean, I knew there would […]
4.5 stars — I don’t know you guys, I seem to be having a string of good luck with books. This one captured me, sucked me in, made me smile, and had me looking forward to more stories in Butterfly Bayou. I don’t remember what impression I had of Seraphina in the first book, but […]
3 stars — I was so excited for this book. 1) Guy knitters?? Yes please! My hubby is a sexy male knitter, so I’m all over that. 2) Look at that cover! 3) #ownvoices book with main characters of colour?? WOOP! But…well…I kinda had to push myself to finish this book, and if it hadn’t […]
4 stars — Another one where I’m debating between 3.5 and 4, but the good stuff that delighted me really delighted me, so I’m giving it the boost. I enjoy these books by Ms. Martin in this series, but I can’t say I’m particularly blown away. There’s something about the writing that feels a bit […]
3.5 stars — Another book that brought me a lot of joy, but again…had a few tiny moments that made me cringe. And I will admit that reading this one directly following reading book 1, I did notice some similarities of jokes on occasion…not often, but there was at least one memorable instance. Let’s get […]
4 stars — This one had me all kinds of entertained, but was balanced by some actions that confused me. Maybe it’s even a 3.5 stars, but whatever, I’m going to stick to my gut. I will admit, I had a love-confused relationship with Marlee. She would make me LAUGH AND LAUGH at her antics, […]
