Forsaken Trail by Devney Perry

Forsaken Trail by Devney Perry

4 stars — This was a solid romance, if a bit short. I think it didn’t hurt that I really enjoyed both narrators.  This is my second time listening to Mr. Snow, and I just really like his voice.  Both narrators were fantastic with pacing, voices and emotions, they made it so easy to listen. […]

Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade

Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade

5 stars — Wow.  Just, this was more than everything I was looking for in a book, and I loved it from start to finish.  Sometimes I find 5 star reviews the hardest to write, because there’s so much I feel, but I don’t want to spoil anything and I feel weird just absurdly gushing, […]

Well Played by Jen DeLuca

Well Played by Jen DeLuca

3.5 stars — I think my mediocre rating for this one had to do with 2 things on a personal front: having expectations for who Stacey was and how I thought this story would go; and simultaneously reading a book I’m really loving so I would inevitably compare the two and notice more clearly what […]

Bayou Beloved by Lexi Blake

Bayou Beloved by Lexi Blake

4 stars — I really love this quirky little town and it’s lovable crazy characters. I will admit that I had an entirely different expectation of who Jayna was going to be, and I think it took me a little bit to warm up to her.  She’s very forthright and ambitious and I was expecting […]

Fire in His Blood by Ruby Dixon

Fire in His Blood by Ruby Dixon

2.5 stars — Well that was a disappointment.  I would have enjoyed this book 1000 times more if it was half the size.  I truly don’t know if Ms. Dixon lost a good editor, or if it’s KU padding, but it was repetitive as fuck. I can also say that I don’t think the narrators […]

Quarter Miles by Devney Perry

Quarter Miles by Devney Perry

3 stars — Well huh.  I was kinda looking forward to this one, but it just wasn’t a match for me. It started off pretty slow for me, and while it did pick up, I felt like not as much happened in the story…I wanted more. I was also pretty frustrated with both our MCs […]

The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne

The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne

3.5 stars — I absolutely LOVED the first chapter and the relationship it sets up for Farah and Dougan.  My heart broke, I was 100% invested, I was in love. The rest of the book just never quite lived up to that first chapter for me.  I definitely FELT for what Dorian had been through, […]

Wild Highway by Devney Perry

Wild Highway by Devney Perry

4.5 stars — This one just settled in more strongly for me!  There was definitely a lot of contention between the characters, but I wouldn’t call it enemies to lovers necessarily.  I think I could just see how much Easton and Gemma wanted one another, so I was rooting for them. At first I wasn’t […]

Runaway Road by Devney Perry

Runaway Road by Devney Perry

3.5 stars — This was a solid romance, I just felt like it was missing something to really push it over the top.  I can’t quite pinpoint what, but I just wanted *more*.  Everything felt just a bit easy and rote in the story. Londyn was a solid heroine.  She has a really interesting backstory, […]

The Secret Mistress Arrangement by Kimberly Lang

The Secret Mistress Arrangement by Kimberly Lang

3.5 stars — There were definitely some great parts to this book, but there were also some lulls and some disconnects for me… Ella was an intriguing heroine, she was all closed off in some ways, and mostly I understood why.  What I didn’t get was her temper!  Hoowee! Matt was actually pretty surprising for […]
