3.5 stars — There were parts of this book, delightful little parts that I absolutely ADORED, and they are the reason I’m inevitably going to round up.  Because while there were a lot of things that didn’t work for me, those moments, those quips, those emotions just kept me coming back…and that’s enough for me. This […]

4.5 stars — I enjoyed it more than I was expecting. It had more ups and downs than I was expecting, but it worked. Kolby was interesting, b/c he was a bit of a contrast.  Both reserved and out there, confident and insecure.  He had all these leftover effects from his upbringing, and he was […]

4.5 stars — Is it weird to say that I enjoyed this one so much more than I was expecting?  Like, why were my expectations so low?  Or was it that I had none?  I don’t know, but Oz and Reeve surprised and delighted me from almost the first page. I don’t think I was expecting […]

4 stars — If you’re looking for a sweet, super low angst M/M, look no further.  Occasionally I felt like it was a bit too sweet, but then you know what?  Sometimes I want all that happy.  Sometimes it’s nice to read the happy. Caleb and Tag were just so freaking adorable, I can’t even.  […]

4 stars — I think this book went a little differently than I was expecting from the blurb.  I expected a much stronger music/poetry component, and it wasn’t really there…it was more background, felt tacked on.  But at the same time what I did get was fantastic. Cooper surprised the heck out of me.  I was […]

3.5 stars — I really enjoyed both Jasper and Liam, but I will admit I wanted more from their story… Jasper was a lot more grumpy and disgruntled than I had been expecting.  I knew he was going to be exceptionally standoffish and closed off, just from the peek we’d seen in Unguarded (which you […]

4.5 stars — Well boy howdy, that sucked me in and spit out a happy little reader.  I was entranced almost from the very first line.  I wasn’t expecting these two characters, but I LOVED them.  I felt so much for them, and I really appreciated how different they were to many other couples I […]

4 stars — I’m not sure if it was my mood, but while I LOVED parts of this story, I found my mind wandering while reading as well.  I think it doesn’t help when there’s a lot of hype for a book…my brain doesn’t do good with hype.  Which is stupid, but there it is. I […]

3.5 stars — This was a sweet story with a good solid connection between the heroines, but I think I got too frustrated with Taylor’s reticence and I lost my enthusiasm for their love story. Phoebe had these sweet and bright qualities, and I could see how Taylor was attracted to them.  I really appreciated […]

4 stars — Well that was a cute story with a lot of depth underneath.  Jamie and Briar were both pretty easy to love. I loved how positive Jamie could be, and what difficult choices he was faced with.  I totally got his unwillingness to upset the status quo, and how stuck he felt with […]
