The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

The Friend Zone by Abby Jimenez

2.5 stars — I’m so glad that this book was not my first book by this author, because I probably would have never gotten back to her.  The thing is, her writing is actually really solid.  There were so many fun moments between Josh and Kristen.  But wow, the things that disappointed me were numerous […]

The Five-Day Reunion by Mona Shroff

The Five-Day Reunion by Mona Shroff

3.5 stars — Well oops.  Apparently I started this review, but barely wrote anything and didn’t realize it.  So this is going to be bare bones. I really enjoyed seeing elements of the Indian wedding festivities that I have participated in with friends.  I still don’t know them that well, but I recognized a few […]

Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez

Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez

4.5 stars — When I had 3 hours left on this audio, I thought I’d listen for an hour before bed…and suddenly it was 2am and I was finished and sniffling and happy.  😉 The narrators were absolutely fantastic in this one.  Mr. Webber can occasionally be hit or miss for me, but he was […]

How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams

How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams

4 stars — I don’t know why, but I was worried when we first met Jake that he wasn’t going to be the guy…I’m not sure if there was something missing, but once I reassured myself he was the hero, I sort of fell into their story and their romance. I will admit that I […]

A Bad Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones

A Bad Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones

4.5 stars — Welp, can confirm: I truly love Ms. Jones’s wacky brand of humour.  I don’t always get all the jokes, but I love the way the characters tease each other mercilessly in her books. I wasn’t expecting this book to be told in relatively equal parts between Sunshine and her daughter Auri, but […]

Moonlight and Magic by Darynda Jones

Moonlight and Magic by Darynda Jones

3.5 stars — The humour of these characters is still absolutely fantastic, but I found that I noticed the lack of progression even more in this one.  I think my frustration with drawn out mysteries from the reader was showing a bit more. Annette was also extremely frustrating in her obliviousness…or something.  There is a […]

Beguiled by Darynda Jones

Beguiled by Darynda Jones

4 stars — This series still contains some of the more hilarious characters I’ve ever met, and it delights me to no end…I just wish the pacing was cleaned up a bit, and some bits just feel really repetitive.  Still eminently entertaining, especially with Ms. Odom’s narration. I seriously adore Dephne and Annette.  They are […]

When the Earl Met His Match by Stacy Reid

When the Earl Met His Match by Stacy Reid

4 stars — While there were parts of the book that frustrated me, the delightful parts were just so wonderful that at the end that’s what I’m left feeling. I appreciated Phoebe’s determination to seek out a better situation for herself.  She’s definitely impulsive and reckless, but it’s tempered by her kind heart and sassy […]

How to Marry a Marquess by Stacy Reid

How to Marry a Marquess by Stacy Reid

4 stars — Yay!  This is getting even closer to the Ms. Reid I fell in love with in her Sinful Wallflowers series! I will admit that while I loved certain parts of Evie, there were other times that she left me confused.  I thought she was a good representation of someone who carried so […]
