3.5 stars — This was a sweet story with a hero that was SO easy to love, and a heroine that grew and came into her own over the course of the story! For me, something about the pacing and the writing kept it from a higher rating…otherwise it was a solid romance. As I […]
2.5 stars — *sigh* This was not a bad book per se. But I think the narration magnified the flatness of this story. I bet I would have enjoyed it more if I’d read it (though I doubt it would be a fave even then). I’ve enjoyed the male narrator before, and he was pretty […]
4.5 stars — OK, I was totally not expecting a Phantom of the Opera retelling!! That delighted me. I don’t know if it’s bad to ruin that, because it occurred to me slowly, more and more, as the book went on…but then again, it could bring people to the book who might not have taken […]
3.5 stars — This one started off as a solid 4 star, and I was really intrigued about what went down that caused Nick to leave, and how their reunion was going to go. Both characters seemed solid and likeable. I loved the ownvoices aspect to Zora. And I’m always down for a book with smart/nerdy […]
5 stars — AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I have the BIGGEST GIRL CRUSH IN HISTORY!!!! I remember Code of Conduct being my favourite book (that I read) from Smartypants Romance Launch #1, and Ms. White was a new author to me at that time. So I had high hopes for this story, but anything can happen, you know? […]
4.5 stars — This was a FANTASTIC new addition to this series!! I did read Stud Muffin before this one, and while I’m personally glad I did, you wholeheartedly could read this one as a standalone without missing anything. Frankie was such an intriguing heroine! She was SO CLOSED OFF it was insane! But for […]
4.5 stars — Dudes, this book just gave me EVERYTHING! I felt the emotions, I laughed out loud too many times to count, and hooowwweeee did I feel the chemistry between Tempest and Cage! I’m not sure if listening made it even better, but I adored our narrators. Mr. Brinkley’s Cage was sexy AF, and […]
4 stars — I really enjoyed both Mr. Brinkley and Ms. Buhr as narrators. I will admit that with the accents, it was the first time I had to slow down the narration instead of speed it up. And also, not the greatest choice for road trips, b/c Mr. Brinkley in particular has a lot […]
4 stars — I adore this author and the kinds of characters she brings to the table, and she didn’t disappoint in this book either. Drill and Thuy were hella unique, and I loved how they just fit with one another. Now, I’ll start this review with an admission: I’m not a motorcycle club kind […]
4.5 stars — This was a delight from start to finish. It was so easy to fall in love with ALL OF THE CHARACTERS in this book, most especially Shane and Gabriel. They both had such interesting struggles to work through in their pasts. I love how these traumas affected who they are now, but it […]
