How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams

How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams

4 stars — I don’t know why, but I was worried when we first met Jake that he wasn’t going to be the guy…I’m not sure if there was something missing, but once I reassured myself he was the hero, I sort of fell into their story and their romance. I will admit that I […]

4 stars — Wow, those secrets were, in some ways, darker than I had expected.  And yet many parts of this book were so fun and sweet! Gigi was pretty adorable, and it’s amazing how bright she shined given her life up until that point.  It was actually kind of delightful to see.  I admire […]

4 stars — I can’t seem to get my thoughts in order.  I fucking hate that.  So I apologize if this review feels a bit scattered. I definitely felt a lot more connection between Tanner and Jax.  I loved the way they connected, and that while there were a few obstacles in their way, in […]

4.5 stars — Yeah.  That was just…good stuff.  I was a bit worried with the whole sister’s ex and all that shiznit, but I shouldn’t have been.  Ms. Mayberry showcased how she can offer so much depth and heart and finesse in a truly odd situation, and have me feeling perfectly satisfied when I come […]

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

4.5 stars — I don’t even know where to begin you guys.  I adored it.  Like I could feel the stupid grin spreading across my face and couldn’t stop it kind of adored it.  Like I cried near the end because I’m stupidly emotional adored it. It started off feeling a bit enemies to lovers-ish […]

The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

The Purest Hook by Scarlett Cole

4 stars — I don’t know, this one just worked for me.  I really loved that even though Dred and Pixie were seriously SO DIFFERENT, there was an undeniable connection and attraction between them that they couldn’t help exploring. This book definitely suffered from moments where I was like “OMG, investigate that!  Doesn’t that seem crazy??”  […]

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars (rounded up) — this book was fabulous but emotionally draining… So much happened, and it really felt like a real story, where things were not perfect and suddenly happily ever after. The love between Nick and Alix was inspiring…even as it went through the ringer. I think I fell in love […]

Cake by J. Bengtsson

Cake by J. Bengtsson

4.5 stars — OK, so this was one of those books that for the most part was 10++++++ stars, but then had a few niggly spots that bugged me, so I averaged out to 4.5 stars.  Don’t question me, there’s no logic to make this make sense. I honestly spent so much of the time […]
