Zane’s Redemption by Tina Folsom

Zane’s Redemption by Tina Folsom

3.5 stars — And I’m finally onto a non-reread in this series, so this one was all brand-new for me!  I’m not sure what I was expecting from Zane’s story, but it went into some different directions than I had been anticipating.  At the same time I totally saw quite a few of the twists […]

Gabriel’s Mate by Tina Folsom

Gabriel’s Mate by Tina Folsom

3.5 stars — Another reread, and another one I originally rated 4 stars but didn’t leave a review for.  And it’s not that on reread I’m not enjoying these books, but definitely not to the same degree I did some 7 years ago.  There are these subtleties in the writing that keep tweaking me, and […]

Amaury’s Hellion by Tina Folsom

Amaury’s Hellion by Tina Folsom

3.5 stars — I originally marked this as 4 stars on Goodreads, but I read it back before I started writing reviews.  I’ve definitely changed as a person and a reader, and so this is more like 3-3.5 stars for me now.  I’ll be generous considering my initial feelings, but I’m definitely rounding down. The […]

Unspeakable by Nina Croft

Unspeakable by Nina Croft

3.5 stars — Definitely a fun ride, but I didn’t feel quite as connected to Sadie and Ethan as I was to Jake and Christa in book 1.  I think I might have had certain expectations of Sadie as we saw her in the first book, and so the direction this book took threw me off […]

Playing Hurt by Kelly Jamieson

Playing Hurt by Kelly Jamieson

3.5 stars — Wow.  So this one started off like full 5 stars.  I ADORED the initial interactions between Chase and Jordyn, I thought they were so cute and gave me all the tummy flutters in the world!  I actually LOVED the fact that for once the hero in the story was the starstruck fan […]

Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn

Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn

3.5 stars — Welp, I went back and read my review for Fake Wife, and I have a feeling that Ms. Lynn may not be quite right for me.  Which is a weird thing to say seeing as I’ll likely round this review up to 4 stars…but I just really feel uncomfortable with the level […]

Seeking Fate by Brenda Drake

Seeking Fate by Brenda Drake

3.5 stars — So, first things first: I totes didn’t realize this was the last in a series.  I knew it was part of a series (it says “The Fated Series” on the cover), but I assumed it was the start of one.  I really wish it’d been more clear, b/c while it wasn’t a […]

Dire Straits by Melissa Pearl & Anna Cruise

Dire Straits by Melissa Pearl & Anna Cruise

3.5 stars — I was sucked right into the beginning of this one!!  It was compelling, I was intrigued by our two main characters, and the mystery felt like it was shaping up to have an Erin Brokovich feel…I was curious how it was going to play out!  But then somewhere along the way I […]
