Really liked the twist in this one, had no idea it was coming and that almost NEVER happens. Sienna is well rounded and smart. I enjoyed her sassy mouth but it was tempered by her incredible sweet side. I think she may have used money as a crutch but it was all done for the […]
Nice beginning, I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t really go deeper into Maverick’s issues with his sister and dad, it would have given his character more depth and pulled more sympathy from me, the reader. But instead I found myself not caring that much about his hardships because , or for that matter Delaneys’. […]
I had to refresh my memory with this one by reading the blurb again and now I find myself wanting to re-read the whole book again! It was so original and fresh. A great slow simmering romance that over flowed once it hit boil! Scarlett was so nerdy and sexy at the same time! Ugh, […]
This book was lacking in so many areas. This book was all sex and no emotion. No depth of character. I couldn’t see how Varg could have liked Jonathan at all. He was demanding, rude and too possessive for my tastes. He treated Varg like shit and assaulted him! Varg was no better really, he […]
Favorite Quotes: He kissed me like the devil had a purpose and it included devouring me. Lightning struck again, flashing behind him. The world was dark and murky around us as the storm outside continued, but all I sensed was him. He was thunder, and I anxiously awaited the strike. These characters had so much […]
Favorite Quotes: I was fake repairing a car…this was a first. While I ignored my mother’s suggestion of taking Gia to breakfast, I decided to use the day to pretend to fix Gia’s car—the car I’d already fixed and never told her about. The car I’d repaired and then lost a bet to have a […]
DNF @ 46% — Well bugger all. This one is not even remotely as unappealing as Stroked was for me. That one was an easy choice to DNF. This one I wavered on for god knows how long before finally throwing in the towel. The problem is the book isn’t bad. But it just wasn’t […]
DNF @ 38% — I was really excited for this one, since a) it was recommended by blogs I follow; and b) I LOVE the sport of swimming. Unfortunately I was turned off almost immediately by the inclusion of a ridiculously over the top and horrific secondary character, Bellini. I’m assuming she is modeled after […]
2.5 stars — This rating does not reflect the writing whatsoever…I actually highlighted a lot of this book, b/c I think Ms. Ryan writes beautifully and presents things in an interesting manner. Unfortunately, while I’ve enjoyed the one other book I’ve read by her, I don’t think I have the patience for the types of […]
4.5 stars — Before I get started, be warned about potential triggers! Luckily this author was smart and actually noted it in her blurb — nicely done!! 🙂 This was a difficult read, but also a very different read. It had romance in it, but it wasn’t the main focus of the story in my […]
