War by Laura Thalassa

War by Laura Thalassa

3.5 stars — Well shit.  I swore to my hubby that War was irredeemable.  That the more time went on in the book, the less likely I was going to believe in his redemption.  I was at a 3 stars, maybe less, thinking that this was just not my book (I’m not a motorcycle club […]

A Curse of Roses by Diana Pinguicha

A Curse of Roses by Diana Pinguicha

3.5 stars — Hmmm…there were a lot of interesting things in this book, and after reading the author’s note at the end, I actually have a more interesting perspective on the book.  But, all the same, I found it hard to get into the story at times, the pacing felt…not quite right to me.  And […]

The Best Men by Sarina Bowen & Lauren Blakely

The Best Men by Sarina Bowen & Lauren Blakely

3.5 stars — This was a fun, light and steamy romance! As always, Teddy Hamilton and Jacob Morgan gave fantastic performances.  I was a little thrown off by Mr. Morgan’s choice to give Mark an accent, but that’s what I do…notice irrelevant stuff. I hate writing reviews like these, because I genuinely enjoyed the book, […]

Coming in from the Cold by Sarina Bowen

Coming in from the Cold by Sarina Bowen

3.5 stars — Hmmm…after rereading my review for book 2, it looks like this series might feel the same for me: good, but not great.  I think this can happen a lot with author’s earlier works. This one had a pretty strong start, and I didn’t even mind the quick move to steamy scenes…sometimes that […]

Holiday by Candlelight by Laurel Greer

Holiday by Candlelight by Laurel Greer

3.5 stars — While I really enjoyed how unique this book was, I found all the conflict and strife to be a bit hard on my heart.  It was real, but I’m just not as into that much push and pull I guess.  It’s like, we had 2 characters who were both struggling with the […]

The Holiday Switch by Tif Marcelo

The Holiday Switch by Tif Marcelo

3.5 stars —  This book did not start off strong.  Neither of our main characters were all that endearing, especially at the start.  Lila was uptight, overreactive, comes across a bit like a bitch, can be judgey.  You don’t get to see a lot of her good qualities off the bat.  But luckily I was […]

The Twelve Nights of Christmas by Sarah Morgan

The Twelve Nights of Christmas by Sarah Morgan

3.5 stars — Well, huh.  I started off this one and could totally see what 2010’s Lenore was attracted to, but I just don’t have patience for that anymore.  So I was annoyed by the book, but still couldn’t put it down.  I expected it to end very meh.  But then, despite the persistent toxic […]

Approximately Yours by Julie Hammerle

Approximately Yours by Julie Hammerle

3.5 stars — Bummer.  This one started off really strong and I stayed up late reading it the first night.  But then I got tired of the schtik of the plot, and I just wanted things to be cleared up.  Ah well. This had a bit of a Cyrano de Bergerac retelling feel to it […]
