3.5 stars — Well huh. So, I still really enjoyed myself and was sucked into finishing this one, and still had a great time speculating about theories with my hubby while we listened. But the thing is…we got to the end, and I was a bit let down. There were quite a few gaps that […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — ON REREAD: 3.5 stars — Since this was one of my earliest indie Kindle reads, I really wasn’t sure how it was going to be rereading it over a decade later. And while I definitely didn’t get as sucked in or emotionally invested, it actually wasn’t as bad as I […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 3.5 stars — OK, that was actually pretty entertaining! I had some problems here and there with the science and concept, but if I just let go of that crap, it was easy to get sucked into the story. With the prologue at the beginning, I was able to easily guess what the […]
3.5 stars — While the plot of this one was very fast and engaging, the romance aspect actually detracted for me. But to be fair, this is just a huge mismatch personal taste-wise as far as that aspect goes. I started listening to this one on audio since my library didn’t have the ebook. And […]
3.5 stars — This one was pretty good from a Harlequin Presents standard. I loved the first half where they were celebrating her birthday and having a fun day together. It kind of got a bit frustrating when it got to the pregnancy and Mitch’s refusal to, you know, COMMUNICATE. Jane was actually pretty fun […]
3.5 stars — I was absolutely sucked into this one from the beginning, but I’m not sure if my mood changed and affected the reading, or if the story truly just didn’t keep the same pace. That’s the frustrating thing — am I distracted b/c the book isn’t holding my attention, or is the book […]
3.5 stars — This was a pretty cute little story, dealing with topics of life change and grief, but ultimately still left me feeling light. There were moments that I wish I had understood the changes more, but I think that was partly because I was distracted while reading. I appreciated that both Austin and […]
3.5 stars — There were parts of this book that were fantastic, but alas I think this author and I just aren’t quite a match. For all that this one is billed as a romantic comedy, I didn’t really laugh that much…mismatch. And as I’m sure you’re tired of reading and wondering why I still […]
3.5 stars — There were some absolute 5 star moments in this book where Lucas and Tess would settle into this teasing banter, and I would be on my walks laughing out loud, and it was just delightful. But there were also moments that felt drawn out, moments where the development of Tess may have […]
3.5 stars — As is becoming a trend in my reviews lately, I honestly can’t figure out if I’m being nitpicky about the books I’m reading because there are actual things to nitpick, or if my mood/health has affected my reading enjoyment. I listened to this one, and the narrator was okay. Not like blow […]
