4 stars — Ah yes, another review I wrote in short form, and now I’m too lazy to expand and make it more readable…you get what you get. I LOVED the nerdy stuff, and was fascinated by how complicated it would be to be a woman with intellectual pursuits in this time period. I also […]
4 stars — This one was slow for me to get into, but once I did it delivered right to the end It took a bit to warm up to Alex. I’m sensitive, so he came across mean at first. I do know people who have that personality, and I will admit I’m taken aback […]
4 stars — I definitely enjoyed this story, but I think my hopes were higher for it…which happens sometimes you know? I enjoyed both of our characters. They were flawed, and made epic mistakes at times, but deep down they were both really good genuine people. You wanted to root for them, both as individuals, […]
3.5 stars — This book was slower than I was expecting. I had a hard time getting drawn in. Sometimes it was so freaking easy, and I was enthralled and excited. But it was a lot of up and down, and the slow parts dragged for me. I’m glad I read it to see the […]
3.5 stars — I think I wasn’t in the right mood for this book at this time…or really any books at this particular moment. Which always sucks for the book, b/c I think it gets short shrift. Erin Mallon was solid as the narrator as always. It helps that I enjoy her male voices a […]
4.5 stars — After reading Devil in Spring, I knew I needed to go back and read Evie and Sebastian’s book, and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this one, considering that Sebastian could be a real dick at times. I will admit I wish that we had learned a bit […]
3 stars — After reading Sherwood, I was super excited to read another retelling by Ms. Spooner. And as a fan of Beauty and the Beast, I kind of figured this would be a sure thing. But I wonder if being a fan kind of ended up as a hindrance instead, you know? Because I […]
4.5 stars — This was delightful, and what I’ve come to expect from Ms. Dare — quirky sassy characters in unconventional romances. This was my first time listening to Ms. Rose as a narrator, and she was not bad. I found it wasn’t always as easy to tell apart her voices, they weren’t always consistent […]
5 stars — This book delighted me from start to finish. Like, I can’t even tell you how much, it was just perfection for me. I always knew I was going to be fascinated by Pandora, but there was even more to her than I had been expecting. It’s strange how learning about one physical […]
4.5 stars — Well that was a whole heap of delightfulness, and while it gave me anxiety at times, it also gave me so much happiness and smiles and swoons and giggles too. It actually lived up to my expectations, and that is always a pleasant surprise! As always, I adored Mary Jane Wells as […]
