Not Your Average Fairytale by Chantele Sedgwick

Not Your Average Fairytale by Chantele Sedgwick

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — LOVED IT! It was different and refreshing…the characters developed feelings for each along the way instead of insta-love (which I don’t mind, but it’s nice to have a balance). And the paranormal world was well-built and interesting! I especially love that the ending wasn’t a cliffhanger, but a solid ending […]

Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson

Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson

3 stars — I was so excited for this book.  1) Guy knitters??  Yes please!  My hubby is a sexy male knitter, so I’m all over that.  2) Look at that cover!  3) #ownvoices book with main characters of colour??  WOOP! But…well…I kinda had to push myself to finish this book, and if it hadn’t […]

Any Boy But You by Julie Hammerle

Any Boy But You by Julie Hammerle

3 stars — I am pretty fussy with my enemies to lovers trope stories, and this one was okay, but hit some of my buttons that prevented it from being more than just okay.  Although I did stay up late reading it, so it was compelling! The problem with this one (for me) is that […]

Unforgiven by Jay Crownover

3 stars — Well…this one didn’t work as well for me as Crew and Case’s romances.  I honestly found myself skimming the sex scenes for the last half of the book.  I think it really could have been edited down a bit and then the pacing would have worked better. I also had a hard […]

Hot & Bothered by Elle Kennedy

Hot & Bothered by Elle Kennedy

OVERALL: 3 stars — I think these were just too short for me, and so I just couldn’t get into them.  *shrugs*  Oh well. HEAT OF THE MOMENT: 3 stars — This was a solid leaning-more-towards-erotica short story until I hit the ending.  Then I grew angry at Garrett’s insensitive overreaction, and annoyed that Shelby […]

Demon Bound by Chris Cannon

Demon Bound by Chris Cannon

3 stars — Hmmm…there were a lot of very intriguing elements to this story, some seriously unique stuff that has me curious where the series is going.  But honestly?  There was something missing…I had a hard time connecting with Meena and Jake.  I needed something more to really draw me in. I think part of […]

The Doctor’s Christmas Proposal by Eve Gaddy

The Doctor’s Christmas Proposal by Eve Gaddy

3 stars — I don’t know…this one started off not bad, but something was just missing from the writing to bring it from words on a page to magic.  I’m not a writer, so I don’t even know what’s missing…all I know is that I was sucked in, I wasn’t that captivated, it felt like […]

Into the Madness by A.K. Koonce

Into the Madness by A.K. Koonce

3 stars — There were a lot of intriguing elements in this story, but in the end I was just confused…and like, everything from vaguely confused to seriously confused.  And that just took me out of the story, and didn’t make me want to continue in the series.  I actually almost DNF’d at 74%, but […]
