Christmas Kitsch by Amy Lane

Christmas Kitsch by Amy Lane

4.5 stars — I love it when a book just hits. There were lots of little things that reminded me strongly of The Locker Room, but not so much that it felt like a regurgitated story — this one was all its own.  It was just things like *how* Rusty struggled with his parents neglect…and […]

Tinsel by Devney Perry

Tinsel by Devney Perry

4.5 stars — Well colour me surprised!!  I never would have guessed that Sofia’s book would challenge Willa/Jackson’s for top spot!  And I genuinely don’t know if I could pick, I enjoyed them both for so many reasons. I really love the idea of taking a character that romance readers have been taught to dislike, […]

4.5 stars — Yay for exceeded expectations!  I was definitely super looking forward to this book from the moment I met Willa in the first book, even if I was less sure of Jackson.  And I devoured this book!  It just hit so many spots for me, you know??  We all have our different tastes […]

The Fastest Way to Fall by Denise Williams

The Fastest Way to Fall by Denise Williams

4.5 stars — This one just hit me in all the right spots.  I loved that it was the perfect fat girl book for me, in that it was so realistic — a mix of struggles with being fat, and feeling positivity.  I think I was in right from the author’s note at the start, b/c […]

Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee

Not Your Sidekick by C.B. Lee

4.5 stars — There’s just something about this story that just made me so happy while reading it.  Sure, I was able to predict quite a few “twists”, but honestly?  It didn’t matter ONE BIT.  I was delighted to watch Jess figure things out on her own.  And she was so wrapped up in her […]

Satisfaction by Sarah Mayberry

Satisfaction by Sarah Mayberry

4.5 stars — Do you ever have reading deja vu?  I got that a lot reading this book, but I genuinely don’t know if I read it, or it was just deja vu.  Didn’t diminish my enjoyment one bit though. I definitely had moments where I was uncertain where it was going to go, or […]

Juniper Hill by Devney Perry

Juniper Hill by Devney Perry

4.5 stars — I think I’m becoming a Devney Perry fan.  This series is my first real foray, but there’s something about the way she writes romance that just works for me.  There’s enough push and pull in a lot of areas of the plot, but it doesn’t drag out the relationship necessarily.  You actually get […]

Destiny’s Embrace by Beverly Jenkins

Destiny’s Embrace by Beverly Jenkins

4.5 stars — Well that was fucking delightful.  It brought me back to when I first discovered romance books, and how easy it was to fall in love with characters and a romance. Mariah had so many elements of my favourite kinds of heroines, and I absolutely adored her.  I ached for what she went […]
