3.5 stars — This one did not start off that well for me. Which is not to say it was a bad book, but it wasn’t the book I was looking for. First of all, the romance took FOREVER to spin up. If you prefer a romance book that’s got a lot of screen time […]
5 stars — I don’t know what it is about Ms. Bowen and this world, but I’m seriously loving it… and loving where it’s going with this spin off. So many possibilities!! Eric and Alex are both delightful and easy to connect with. Alex is so hardworking and brilliant, it really comes across in the […]
3.5 stars — Well…. I enjoyed myself, but not as much as I was expecting to. First, the presence of dual narrators confused me as the book went on with only Charlie’s POV. So just FYI, we only get Duke’s POV in the epilogue. Despite that, I really enjoyed Ms. Hart’s narration in this one. […]
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 […]
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 […]
3 stars — I was actually *really* looking forward to this book (despite the fact that I am 2 years late in my review). But…something just didn’t quite work for me in this one, so Mark’s book remains my favourite. (and please note that I don’t think you can read it without reading the first […]
3.5 stars — This book was a mix of ups and downs for me! I was initially skeptical of the hero, but then quickly got sucked in by our MCs and their chemistry and all that good stuff. But somewhere along the way I started to get a bit bored, and my attention wandered. Ben […]
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 […]
3.5 stars — I will admit I was a bit concerned when our MCs jumped right into bed, and what followed were a lot of very descriptive and hot sex scenes, with only sprinklings of emotions (mostly leftover from their previous encounter). I guess I was expecting a steamy romance, and really got more an […]
DNF @ chapter 10 (2 hours in): This one just wasn’t for me, for a few different reasons. It was seriously overly sweet in my opinion, or at least up until this point…like toothache sweet. There wasn’t a lot of conflict, which apparently I need something to keep me tuning in. And it wasn’t just […]
