Christmas with the Marine by Candace Havens, narrated by Alexander Cendese2 stars — Narrator was HORRIFIC. Like so bad that I honestly don’t know how I feel about the story, b/c I can’t think of the story without thinking of the narrator. Which is really unfair. I should have DNF’d it. I honestly don’t know […]
This was a cute short Christmas novella. It was kind of slow and I felt that the back and forth on Maddie’s part was not necessary. She had some serious insecurities and allowed her mom and sister to get in her head without checking her source. Mom was damaged and bitter and projected that onto […]
So a little background, I love this cover and it was what drew me in to read it in the first place. But the blurb wasn’t great, sounded to hunger games-y for me. Now I loved Hunger Games but I don’t like to read books that are like other books, I just like to read […]
This book is one of my favorites in the series. After this one it kinda all goes downhill for me. Re-reading it with my daughter in this day really makes me think of the differences in our mindsets from when I was a kid and readinf it now. For instance, Eutace is a wretched boy. […]
4.5 stars — It’s been a LONGGGGGGG time since I read Losing It, and I don’t know if I really remember it well. If I’d planned better, I probably would have wanted to reread it before reading this one, but I don’t think you lose that much by not doing that. I can honestly say […]
4.5 stars — This was definitely my favourite of the Rusk University series!! Mateo was just as adorable as I was expecting…and he was covering such a big hurt, my heart felt for him. Wish the fact he was hispanic had played into it somehow…never really knew much about him outside of Lina…except that one […]
4 stars — Oh, I enjoyed this one much more than the first one. I felt like the story resolved a lot better at the end. There were still storylines that I almost wish I had more of, otherwise I don’t know why they were included, but all in all much happier! I will admit, […]
3.5 stars — This book was plugging along at a respectable 4 stars…I wasn’t blown away, but I was definitely enjoying it and the characters. And at 85% I turned the page and it said “Epilogue”, and I was all WTF??? That’s not good people. If I don’t feel like the end of the book […]
5 stars — OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! I have a weakness for celebrity romances, which seems fitting given our blog name. And this one was done up just perfectly for my tastes!! It hit all the buttons that I love, and I ended it hugely satisfied! Well, if I’m being frank, I was bummed when […]
Yeah this one was too slow for me so I DNF’d it. The attraction was there. The suspense was there too but it wasn’t moving fast enough. It’s probably me because I get impatient with the pacing of a book sometimes. What I did read I liked, it just didn’t hold my attention enough to […]
