Beard with Me by Penny Reid

Beard with Me by Penny Reid

4.5 stars — I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts together and out of my head, this book just shook me like that. I didn’t bawl in like I was expecting to…and I think all the warnings and such made me wary of this book, so my reading of it was very drawn out.  But […]

Hold Me Today by Maria Luis

Hold Me Today by Maria Luis

4.5 stars — I had a few hiccups with this book (which was not helped by my reading of it being broken up during travel/vacation), but despite those hiccups I still really enjoyed myself!  It was steamy, it was funny, it was heartfelt and made me cry…so I’m giving it an extra half a star […]

Breaking His Code by Patricia D. Eddy

Breaking His Code by Patricia D. Eddy

4.5 stars — I came for the latina heroine (for my diversity challenge), I stayed for the awesome narrators, relatively accurate coding references, amazing female software developer, and patient hero. First, the narrators: Both narrators are new to me, and I enjoyed them both.  I LOVED Ms. Zimmerman in particular, she added so much emotion […]

Drummer Girl by Ginger Scott

Drummer Girl by Ginger Scott

4.5 stars — Dudes, I kept avoiding reading this book and missed release day because I just knew I wasn’t in the right mode for it.  Ms. Scott writes very real books, and I have to be in a certain frame of mind to really appreciate that.  And honestly?  I still wasn’t quite in the […]

Fury Frayed by Melissa Haag

Fury Frayed by Melissa Haag

4.5 stars — Dude, this book was fun!  It was exactly what I was looking for — something that I could immediately connect with that wouldn’t require a huge investment.  I can’t wait to read more in the series! I was worried how I would take Megan, what with all the anger…  But she made […]

Kiss of Fire by Rebecca Ethington

Kiss of Fire by Rebecca Ethington

ON REREREAD: 4.5 stars — It’s been a LONG time since I’ve read this one, and I’m finally coming back to finish the series!!  Hopefully.  I will admit that it didn’t suck me in quite as much as it did the first time.  I’m not sure if it’s the mood I’m in, b/c it seems […]

The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon

The First Girl Child by Amy Harmon

4.5 stars — I don’t even know where to start.  I’m not really a fantasy reader, but there is something about the way Amy Harmon writes her stories that has me immediately grabbing for any fantasy novel she writes.  Her worlds are so vivid and unique.  And the emotions!  OMG the emotions.  I just finished […]

Demon Night by M.J. Haag

Demon Night by M.J. Haag

4.5 stars — Oh, look at that.  I started it at bedtime and stayed up until after 3am finishing it.  Damn this series is addicting.  I’m sad I’m all caught up now. I loved that this one gave us yet again a different kind of heroine, looking for different things.  It was so refreshing that […]

Demon Deception by M.J. Haag

Demon Deception by M.J. Haag

4.5 stars — I don’t know what exactly had me enjoying this one even more than the previous ones, but I think part of that was that Cassie’s perspective is a bit different from the previous girls.  They were all afraid of being raped, Cassie’s considering giving herself in exchange for protection.  So it didn’t […]
