Showstopper by Regina Kyle

Showstopper by Regina Kyle

4.5 stars — I enjoyed it more than I was expecting. It had more ups and downs than I was expecting, but it worked. Kolby was interesting, b/c he was a bit of a contrast.  Both reserved and out there, confident and insecure.  He had all these leftover effects from his upbringing, and he was […]

Unforgettable by Marley Valentine

Unforgettable by Marley Valentine

4.5 stars — Is it weird to say that I enjoyed this one so much more than I was expecting?  Like, why were my expectations so low?  Or was it that I had none?  I don’t know, but Oz and Reeve surprised and delighted me from almost the first page. I don’t think I was expecting […]

Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas

Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas

4.5 stars — After reading Devil in Spring, I knew I needed to go back and read Evie and Sebastian’s book, and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this one, considering that Sebastian could be a real dick at times.  I will admit I wish that we had learned a bit […]

4.5 stars — I’m not sure what I think about this one.  I love it as I’ve loved most books by Ms. Bowen, but I’m left feeling a bit bereft.  I think I just went through a lot in this book, and that was hard.  Both Rickie and Daphne go through some shit, but especially […]

The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan

The Intimacy Experiment by Rosie Danan

4.5 stars — This one surprised me with how much I loved it. Both narrators were new for me, but I enjoyed them both.  They had great pacing, great emotions, and pretty good distinct voices.  Mr. Griffith nailed Ethan’s kindness and occasional innocence.  Ms. McKenna NAILED Naomi’s dryness, and the balance between her hard edges […]

4.5 stars — Oh wow.  So apparently I didn’t write my review, I just thought dumped.  And you know what?  I’m leaving it.  Cause it amuses me.  You’re welcome internet. Jalal!  NOOOO.  Did not like. Rahim!!  NOOOOO!!! Loved Irsa, especially as a fellow mouse. Was a bit slow at times, but picked up when Khalid […]
