3.5 stars — Welp, this probably wasn’t the best time to read this one because I had a bunch of life going on…but I don’t think I would have been as excited about it either way. It just wasn’t what I remembered from the first two books. And the funny thing is, I was really […]
3.5 stars — This was a super fast and easy read. Both Nick and Cassie were pretty easy to like, and I enjoyed them together, though I will admit that I didn’t enjoy them as much as some other couples I’ve read from this author. I think my rating is more of an “it’s not […]
3.5 stars — I will admit, I’m a little bummed that I didn’t enjoy this one more…or at least as much as the first book in this series. The problem is that I found it pretty predictable, which is a shame. I totally saw how things would play out with the conflict and was just […]
3.5 stars — There were parts of this story that I loved, but I will admit I became frustrated with both Emma and Jake for holding on to preconceptions for so long. But at the same time, they felt pretty real — their flaws were easy to see, easy to connect with, and while I wanted […]
3.5 stars — I definitely laughed out loud, and even groaned on more than one occasion. Josh does a pretty good job of narrating the book himself, which makes sense since he’s a motivational speaker…it would likely give him a leg up. Pun unintended, but still funny. I definitely enjoyed his earlier stories, and it totally […]
3.5 stars — Strangely, there was actually a lot to love in this book. But if I’m being honest, I wasn’t as compelled by the story as I wanted to be. It’s my first book by Ms. Stiefvater, and I have a feeling I might have enjoyed it more if I’d read it a decade […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — I’ve only recently gotten into historical romance, and I’m probably pretty picky about it. While this didn’t wow me like Ms. Kleypas or Ms. Dare, for a debut it was pretty solid. This was my first time listening to Ms. Jasicki, but I really enjoyed her. It’s funny, something about her accent […]
3.5 stars — There were some absolutely shining moments in this book, moments where I laughed out loud, steamy moments that definitely worked for me. But there were also some little nitpicky things that bothered me, and if you know me at all, you know I’m not huge on miscommunication stuff in books. And this […]
3.5 stars — Ms. Mayberry is definitely a favourite author of mine, and while I could see touches of what I love about her writing in this novella, in the end I just didn’t connect with Tara and Reid as much as I was hoping. Both of our MCs were solid people, and I genuinely […]
