My Bare Lady by Piper Sheldon

My Bare Lady by Piper Sheldon

4 stars — When I first read this blurb, I wasn’t at all interested…I don’t know why, I think because Suzie is always shown as so unstable…or at least that’s the impression I get from Winston Brothers books.  But then I read the second book in this series, and I totally figured out what they […]

Give Love a Chai by Nanxi Wen

Give Love a Chai by Nanxi Wen

3.5 stars — Huh.  This story didn’t play out at all like I was expecting.  Which is not a bad thing necessarily, but it may not have been as good a fit for me. Andrew and Tia’s relationship was more volatile than I was expecting.  I know there are all different types of relationships out […]

Mad About Ewe by Susannah Nix

Mad About Ewe by Susannah Nix

3.5 stars — I enjoyed parts of the book, but ended up feeling kind of meh on other parts. I think part of my problem is that I had a hard time connecting with parts of Dawn…or maybe the extremes of Dawn.  Like, I can definitely vibe with the caretaker personality of not wanting to […]

Under Pressure by Allie Winters

Under Pressure by Allie Winters

4.5 stars — I was worried about how I would enjoy this one, especially with the way Tyler started out, but it hit a bunch of notes I wasn’t expecting and I ended up really feeling for both Tyler and Mia! Mia was pretty easy to connect with — I really appreciated the way the […]

Heart Smart by Emma Lee Jayne

Heart Smart by Emma Lee Jayne

4.5 stars — Wow.  This one just grabbed me, sucked me in and wouldn’t let me go…I kind of love that feeling. I wasn’t sure how I was going to cope with a grumpy/jerk hero, b/c that’s not something I gravitate towards AT ALL.  But there was SO MUCH going on underneath Max, he was […]

The One That I Want by Piper Sheldon

The One That I Want by Piper Sheldon

3.5 stars — This one started off really strongly, I was totally intrigued by Roxy and Sanders!  But the book fizzled for me…maybe it was my mood, I have no idea. Honestly, I don’t mind insta-love/lust…depends on how it’s done.  I definitely felt that immediate connection between Roxy and Sanders on the dance floor — […]

Eye Candy by Jiffy Kate

Eye Candy by Jiffy Kate

4.5 stars — Wow, I am seriously LOVING this series!!  I don’t know what it is about Jiffy Kate, but they write characters I can somewhat relate to, but always connect with. Maggie was such a fun quirky character.  She is soooooo sheltered, but once she starts to experience new things, she’s a delight.  It […]

Dewey Belong Together by Ann Whynot

Dewey Belong Together by Ann Whynot

3.5 stars — For me, this was a book with very diverse ratings depending on what I’m talking about.  The characters/story/depth/emotion were like 4-4.5.  The writing could sometimes be more at a 3, and maybe it’s just me.  I’m left feeling very torn, b/c the thing I loved I LOVED! Let’s start with the writing, […]

Love in Deed by L.B. Dunbar

Love in Deed by L.B. Dunbar

3.5 stars — This was a tricky book where there was a LOT to it, a lot of depth in parts, but there was enough disconnect from what I want personally (as a reader), that it may just not have been the best fit for me…if that makes any sense. I had a hard time […]

Upsy Daisy by Chelsie Edwards

Upsy Daisy by Chelsie Edwards

4.5 stars — I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve been this emotionally impacted by a story.  Daisy GOT to me.  Like, I felt so hard for her, even despite the HUGE mistakes she was making all over the place.  And it wasn’t just her, Trevor too!  My poor hubby had to try to […]
