Holiday Queen by Claire Marti

Holiday Queen by Claire Marti

2.5 stars — Welp, these freebies can often be a toss up, and this time I just ended up on the wrong side of the coin flip.  Sometimes you find a new author to love, and sometimes it just doesn’t match.  This was the latter. If I hadn’t been desperate to try to achieve my […]

Forever Enchanted by Maggie Shayne

Forever Enchanted by Maggie Shayne

2 stars — First things first, I got lazy and didn’t contact Amazon to force whatever update to whatever latest version I could get (now entitled By Magic Enchanted).  So this cover above, this is the version I read, and I truly think it’s a pretty early one.  Honestly, I don’t think the blurb on […]

By Magic Beguiled by Maggie Shayne

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — ON REREAD: 3.5 stars — Since this was one of my earliest indie Kindle reads, I really wasn’t sure how it was going to be rereading it over a decade later.  And while I definitely didn’t get as sucked in or emotionally invested, it actually wasn’t as bad as I […]

Dax by Sawyer Bennett

Dax by Sawyer Bennett

3 stars — Well huh.  This one was only okay for me.  I think there were multiple things that went into it for me, but all in all it gave me a feeling of meh. This was my first listen by Virginia Rose, and while there isn’t anything necessarily wrong with her narration, it definitely […]

On the Otherside Duology by D.G. Swank

On the Otherside Duology by D.G. Swank

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — OK, that was actually pretty entertaining! I had some problems here and there with the science and concept, but if I just let go of that crap, it was easy to get sucked into the story. With the prologue at the beginning, I was able to easily guess what the […]

Legend by Sawyer Bennett

Legend by Sawyer Bennett

4 stars — It was fun to get back to these hockey books by Sawyer Bennett.  There are definitely elements that I love, and elements that I could do with less of, but regardless they are always entertaining and easy. I was truly expecting this one to have more of the enemies to lovers aspect […]

Blood and Bonbons by Melissa Nicole

Blood and Bonbons by Melissa Nicole

4 stars — This was a fun start to a series.  I’m not entirely sure what to expect from the next few books — love triangle?  Reverse Harem?  Minimal romance, more mystery?  It’s a…*cough* mystery.  *rolls eyes* I really enjoyed Everly, and felt like I could connect with her super easily.  She was cautious, kind, […]

I’m Your Guy by Sarina Bowen

I’m Your Guy by Sarina Bowen

4 stars — There were a few aspects/moments in this story where I had my reservations, but about a gagillion others where I was just grinning and so fucking happy with the romance. It was nice to be listening to the duo of Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Morgan again as narrators.  They were my first […]

An Urchin of Means by April White

An Urchin of Means by April White

4.5 stars — Ahhhh!!!  This was sooooo good!  It totally lived up to my expectations for Ringo and Charlie’s new life together, and I’m only sad that there aren’t more books in the series already written!  What am I going to do with myself? I honestly COULD NOT put this down once I started listening […]

Love in Tune by Bria Quinlan

Love in Tune by Bria Quinlan

3 stars — Knowing this was in one of those charity anthologies before helped me to know what to expect — which is a short story, not even a novella.  Just a fun little taste.  And it went okay. The problem was that I didn’t really fully understand the conflict between Melissa and Kyle, like […]
