Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender

4.5 stars — This felt like a true coming of age YA novel…just one that brings more diversity and representation.  And while I learned a LOT about being trans, and about all the different flavours of queer out there, if you break it down it’s also just about Felix figuring out who he is, coming into […]

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

You Had Me at Hola by Alexis Daria

4.5 stars — In so many ways this was a typical romance — I could see the conflict coming from a mile away.  But in other ways it was something altogether new and different — the challenges that each of our characters faced, their quirks, were wholly unique.  And in the end, both aspects played […]

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

4.5 stars — This one reminded me a LOT of Bridget Jones’s Diary in tone and snappy dialogue…I mean, the movies at least, it’s been so long since I read the book, I don’t remember what the writing was like.  I was actually a little…put off? (or lost I think) by the fast pace of […]

The Governess Game by Tessa Dare

The Governess Game by Tessa Dare

4.5 stars — I can’t decide if I liked this book more than the first, or just the same?  I think I might have enjoyed it even more!!  Which is yay!!! Mary Jane Wells continued to do a fabulous job with narration.  I occasionally found it hard to determine the speaker, specifically because she would […]

The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare

The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare

4.5 stars — I’m not a historical romance reader…I just don’t gravitate towards it.  But damn, I am definitely putting Tessa Dare on my list of “always take a chance on her”!!  I LOVED this one! I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Wells narration — even the male POV as well!  Sometimes it was hard to initially […]

The Dare by Elle Kennedy

The Dare by Elle Kennedy

4.5 stars — DUDES!!!!  This book was so a Lenore book.  Like, for realz, there was only one thing that was preventing this from being full 5 stars, and that just seriously makes me so happy. The funny thing is that I was worried!!  I loved Conor in The Play.  I read this blurb and […]

Always a Bridesmaid by Cindi Madsen

Always a Bridesmaid by Cindi Madsen

4.5 stars — The banter and playfulness between Violet and Ford was BAR NONE my favourite part of this book.  It just delighted me the witty rejoinders they would come up with.  I laughed out loud at a few of them.  They both had stellar senses of humour. I felt for the number that Violet’s ex […]

Upsy Daisy by Chelsie Edwards

Upsy Daisy by Chelsie Edwards

4.5 stars — I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve been this emotionally impacted by a story.  Daisy GOT to me.  Like, I felt so hard for her, even despite the HUGE mistakes she was making all over the place.  And it wasn’t just her, Trevor too!  My poor hubby had to try to […]

Demon Dawn by M.J. Haag

Demon Dawn by M.J. Haag

4.5 stars — Well, this one helped my slump!  There’s nothing like a favourite series to do that sometimes… I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about Brenna, because she is just so forceful and angry and off-putting.  But I actually really appreciated her journey.  I know this will sound weird, but I […]
