ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — I don’t know why (though I’m sure if I really thought about it I could figure it out), but I truly LOVE books where one of the characters feels they have some physical flaw that makes them not fit for society or something…that’s not exactly what I mean, but you […]
3.5 stars — I was surprised by how much of the book took us into the past with Mari and T’Chai. I wasn’t sad about that, I wanted to know how their relationship developed, but I guess it was probably just a scootch more than felt necessary to me. Especially given the time jump in […]
4.5 stars — Well damn, that was devourable. Callie was this interesting mix of brave and cautious. There were so many moments where I appreciated her willingness to put herself out there and try things before writing them off. But she had her moments of caution as well, especially when it came to her daughter’s […]
4.5 stars — Well that was just a gobble it up read, with likeable characters and a couple you root for! I don’t know if maybe it was just the first read to pull me out of my slump, but I enjoyed this enough I was even sneaking in bits during active vacation — which […]
4 stars — Harry and Pippa were both very likeable characters, but I think I’m still not quite in reading mode and so I got a bit frustrated with them (mostly Pippa) at times…I also might have had a hard time suspending my disbelief on how often Alice conveniently napped. *snort* For all that Harry […]
4 stars — This was a super easy read, filled with likeable characters and fabulous chemistry. I genuinely think I would have enjoyed it even more if I hadn’t been sick while trying to get it finished in a timely manner, so I almost wonder if it would have been even a 4.5 star. First, […]
3.5 stars — Cashol definitely stole the show in this one. Which is not to say that Megan was unlikeable, it’s just that Cashol…well, he was adorable. Teasing and adoring, but also strangely vulnerable in his own way. Megan was a bit harder for me to connect with at times, just because of how extreme […]
3 stars — This one had a lot of potential, and some definite great parts, but the pacing just didn’t work for me. I think I originally saw myself rating this 3.5 rounded up, and it just kept getting lower as the story dragged out. I will admit that near the end I flipped forward […]
4.5 stars — Well, that was all kinds of adorable. It helps that both Scott and Luke were eminently likeable characters that I easily fell in love with, both separately and together…most especially together. In some ways I’m surprised with how much I liked Scott. He’s the ultimate sunshine, and at another time I might […]
4 stars — Man, I needed this. I can always count on Ms. Mayberry for just a solid romance, but without any of the usual clichés. I think the only reason I hadn’t bumped up to 4.5 is because there was the almost cliché of them both being in love but not believing the other […]
