3.5 stars — There were definitely some great parts to this book, but there were also some lulls and some disconnects for me… Ella was an intriguing heroine, she was all closed off in some ways, and mostly I understood why. What I didn’t get was her temper! Hoowee! Matt was actually pretty surprising for […]
3.5 stars — I thought I would like this one more than I did, but I was disappointed that Sam never really had plans to open up to anyone else, especially Steph…course, that might change after the book takes place, but I’m still bummed. Sam had a LOT going on with her, and having never […]
3.5 stars — Well, it wasn’t as bad as my other rereads of Ms. Marinelli’s books, but there’s still this super bad behavior from the heroes that’s just a bit disappointing. The saving grace in this one is that Levander has a truly horrendous upbringing to excuse his lack of emotional intelligence. Millie was pretty […]
OVERALL: 3.5 stars — Mostly pretty solid stories, with a few standouts! BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE by Kimberly Kincaid 3.25 stars — Solid, just didn’t blow me away. It just felt short, but that can happen with short stories. PLANES, TRAINS AND HEAD OVER HEELS by Erika Kelly 3.75 stars — Started off a bit […]
3.5 stars — This one was solid, I think I was just slightly disappointed by the time jumps…it made the story feel shorter somehow. I loved how determined and adventurous Stella was, with everything but her heart. But seeing the glimpses into the past, I could totally see how she fell in love, and wasn’t […]
3.5 stars — A pretty solid Christmas Harlequin Blaze. A little bit of mystery/suspense in it, but didn’t really play strongly into the plot. I was a little frustrated with Lydia for holding on to those teenage impressions for so long…apparently I’m not in a very understanding mood at the moment. Like, part of me […]
3.5 stars — Unfortunately for me, I found this one to be a bit too long and drawn out. The good parts were really good, and if it had been condensed I would have enjoyed it more for sure. I think the other problem is that I don’t seem to be as big a fan […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I enjoyed, but the frustration with certain things was strong my friends! Loved Ms. Wells’s accents, it really added to the character of Nève when she was speaking. Occasionally I’m not sure if I would have read certain passages differently, and maybe would have warmed up to […]
ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — I don’t know why (though I’m sure if I really thought about it I could figure it out), but I truly LOVE books where one of the characters feels they have some physical flaw that makes them not fit for society or something…that’s not exactly what I mean, but you […]
3.5 stars — I was surprised by how much of the book took us into the past with Mari and T’Chai. I wasn’t sad about that, I wanted to know how their relationship developed, but I guess it was probably just a scootch more than felt necessary to me. Especially given the time jump in […]
