2.5 stars — If this hadn’t been a NetGalley ARC, I would have DNF’d it. It’s not a bad book per say, but it is NOT a Lenore book. I am SUPER picky about my military books…and this one wouldn’t have made the cut. But this was from my early days of requesting when I […]
3.5 stars — If you have triggers, definitely check out trigger warnings for this book. I will admit, I found this book very confusing…not sure if it was my frame of mind, or the book, but there were definite moments where I had a hard time following Violet’s thoughts and actions. I will also note […]
4 stars — This one will be hard to review. There were so many parts that had me smiling away and feeling delighted. There were other parts that got to my heart and had me hurting with Viola and Gracewood. And there were yet other parts where things felt…confusing. But that could have been just me. […]
3.5 stars — I both enjoyed myself, and was kind of underwhelmed at the same time. I think I was expecting the romance aspect to be a bit stronger, and this definitely felt a bit more women’s fiction-y to me…especially given the fade to black-ness of the steamy (or not so steamy) scenes. I think one […]
4.5 stars — Huh. I probably should have reread the blurb before reading the book, and then I wouldn’t have been quite so startled with the turn of events. It’s weird how things are hinted in blurbs, but then you forget, and suddenly the author is murdering all your emotions. Another rollercoaster ride of a […]
4 stars — This was a rollercoaster ride of a book, mostly with my emotions. There were parts that I absolutely ADORED beyond measure. And there were parts that strained my sense of empathy. I was happy in the end, but definitely emotionally exhausted. Quinn and Graham were an exercise in patience in the Now […]
4.5 stars — I’ll explain in too much detail at the end, but the start was super slow for me, and I set this book aside *twice*. But once I got over that initial hump, I just kept getting more and more into it, until I was racing to the finish. So definitely give it […]
3 stars — You know what? This one started out pretty strong. Dez was sassy, if a little edgy. Kale was strangely adorable. The action was fast-paced, the mystery intriguing. But it started going downhill, it picked up speed, and I just couldn’t suspend my disbelief anymore. Seriously, I initially looked at my 3 stars […]
2.5 stars — This book wasn’t bad per say, but it was very very meh for me. If it hadn’t been a NetGalley, and I wasn’t buddy reading it, I probably would have DNFd it. I could see a lot of potential, but in the end the word I would use to describe it is […]
3.5 stars — Hmmm…there were a lot of interesting things in this book, and after reading the author’s note at the end, I actually have a more interesting perspective on the book. But, all the same, I found it hard to get into the story at times, the pacing felt…not quite right to me. And […]
