3.5 stars — This book was up and down for me. There were elements that worked very very well, and there were elements that just didn’t for me. Basically, it was the ultimate mixed bag. The prologue sucked me in immediately and I felt a lot for both Reagan and Zac. The problem is that […]
3.5 stars — I have not read the first book, Axios, so I can verify this one can be completely read as a standalone. From the reviews, it sounds like there’s a LOT of repeat, instead of just a few fill in the gaps scenes from a different POV. Which makes it great for those […]
3.5 stars — This was a tricky book where there was a LOT to it, a lot of depth in parts, but there was enough disconnect from what I want personally (as a reader), that it may just not have been the best fit for me…if that makes any sense. I had a hard time […]
3.5 stars — I was excited for my first multi-cast audiobook, but I don’t think this is how it’s usually supposed to go, so it was a bit of a let down. There’s this giant list of narrators, but they didn’t consistently do their characters voice, if that makes sense. Like Mindy Kaling was the voice […]
3.5 stars — This book was definitely entertaining, but it was missing just…something to make it a true hit for me. I’m still having problems concentrating, so maybe I *gasp* need to take a break from reading. *sigh* Honestly? I actually really loved Alexei. I don’t know if he’ll be many people’s favourites, but he […]
3.5 stars — *sigh* These books are super fast to gobble up, and I do enjoy that in some ways. But it does mean that, again, not a lot of time is given to certain plot points to really expand on the emotional impact. In this case it was Knox’s father, and Reese’s healing. Knox […]
3.5 stars — This is a case of a book being almost perfect for me, but failing to get out of its own way in certain areas. Like seriously, I know lots of people are tired of this trope, but I still gravitate towards it — so the book didn’t need to work very hard. […]
3.5 stars — I will admit that I have not read any Austen books, including Emma. But as I was reading this book I realized I did know another Emma retelling really well: Clueless!! It helped to have that in the back of my mind in some ways, to sort of acknowledge certain aspects of […]
3.5 stars — This was a sweet story with a hero that was SO easy to love, and a heroine that grew and came into her own over the course of the story! For me, something about the pacing and the writing kept it from a higher rating…otherwise it was a solid romance. As I […]
3.5 stars — Overall I was definitely entertained, but I wasn’t quite as sucked in as other books in this series. That might have just been me, and my mental state at the moment, it’s hard to tell these days. I also left this review as just notes for freaking ever, and now I’m too […]
