Tattered by Devney Perry

Tattered by Devney Perry

4 stars — I love it when characters are inherently good, they just need a little more growth along the way. The narrators were solid.  I’ve enjoyed Ms. Mitchell before, and did in this one as well.  She had a great voice for Charlie, really expressed her mix of exuberance, petulance, and shyness…basically I was […]

Nadine’s Champion by Ruby Dixon

Nadine’s Champion by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — Nadine and Thrand actually weren’t what I was expecting.  And in both cases that was a good thing. I was expecting Nadine to be a bit more confrontational and infuriated by Thrand’s antics…but while she occasionally became frustrated, she actually maintained a pretty good humour about his strange personality.  She was wonderfully confident […]

Coming in from the Cold by Sarina Bowen

Coming in from the Cold by Sarina Bowen

3.5 stars — Hmmm…after rereading my review for book 2, it looks like this series might feel the same for me: good, but not great.  I think this can happen a lot with author’s earlier works. This one had a pretty strong start, and I didn’t even mind the quick move to steamy scenes…sometimes that […]

Toxic by Lydia Kang

Toxic by Lydia Kang

3.5 stars — While I was intrigued by the plot and where it would go, in the end I wasn’t particularly attached to the characters, or the romance, which tends to be my bread and butter…and something I need to really push a book over the top. I both listened and read, though I only […]

Devi’s Distraction by Ruby Dixon

Devi’s Distraction by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — Devi was a fantastic change from the everyday.  I loved her nerdy science loving self, and how passionate she was about learning.  I both got her reticence with N’dek and didn’t…like, I got that she wanted to protect herself from hurt, but why she held on to the bizarre belief that Bridget was […]

Barbarian’s Beloved by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Beloved by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — I’m probably not one of those ones that was looking for an Ariana book…I mean, sure, I was curious, but I don’t think I even remembered her mate’s name most of the time!  And yet I really enjoyed this installment. It was interesting because it starts in the “present”, but then flashes […]
