4.5 stars — OMG! The cuteness! I can’t even! I love YA’s like this, that make me feel uplifted and light even though they deal with some tough subjects. I felt a mix of emotions while reading it, for sure, but my overall feel was one of sparkling happiness. Can I just start by saying […]
3 stars — After reading Sherwood, I was super excited to read another retelling by Ms. Spooner. And as a fan of Beauty and the Beast, I kind of figured this would be a sure thing. But I wonder if being a fan kind of ended up as a hindrance instead, you know? Because I […]
4.5 stars — I was daunted by this book…I don’t know why, I so wanted to read it. But I just kept putting it off. Thank god for buddy reading, it was just the push I needed to get started. I did try the audio first, b/c I wanted to know how to pronounce things…but […]
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 […]
4.5 stars — Wow, that took me through all of the emotions. I had all these desires for the first half of the book, and then things started shifting and I started shifting with it…and feeling conflicted. And so confused. Needless to say because of all that, this is going to be a vague and […]
4.5 stars — This was delightful, and what I’ve come to expect from Ms. Dare — quirky sassy characters in unconventional romances. This was my first time listening to Ms. Rose as a narrator, and she was not bad. I found it wasn’t always as easy to tell apart her voices, they weren’t always consistent […]
4 stars — This one was solid, but I will admit it took me quite awhile to figure out Harrec and his behavior. There was actually quite a bit more to Harrec’s story than I was expecting, and it really helped to understand why he is the way he is. He almost comes off a […]
4.5 stars — If you told me one of my faves in this series would be Bek’s story, I would have laughed in your face. But here we are. What’s strange about all that is that Bek was still a jerk at many parts of the book…but we got to see him grow and learn […]
4.5 stars — This was exactly what I needed after the emotional overload that was Ashe and Hemalo’s book. Not saying that there weren’t emotional moments in this one…but there was also a SHITTON of laughter, and I adored that. Farli is just so naïve and innocent and just a ray of sunshine. I couldn’t […]
4 stars — This book was more emotional than I was expecting…which, it really shouldn’t have surprised me given Asha and Hemalo’s history, but still…I definitely cried for them. Asha was an interesting character that I wasn’t expecting to like, b/c, well, she’s kind of a bitch. And I mean that outside of how she […]
